Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Game plan:"},{"insert":"\n\nGet out Gix and two evasive creatures by turn 3. Start drawing cards; never stop. Linear game plan + other players love having Gix around so they can draw cards themselves means you will be left alone. Quietly and openly accrue card advantage and a horde of evasive creatures until you can overwhelm the table with a finisher or Gix's {4}{B}{B}{B} ability. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Mulligan/First turns:"},{"insert":"\n\nThe perfect opening hand is 3 swamps + 1 1 CMC evasive creature + 1 1/2 CMC evasive creature, the rest doesn't matter as we are going to draw a million cards anyways. Use the first free and the second mulligan, if you don't have this exact combination. Down to 6, you can keep a) Only 2 useful lands or b) Only 1 evasive creature but not a second one. Going down to 5, you can keep anything that has 2 lands. Don't be afraid to mulligan: The quicker the engine gets rolling the quicker you get cards to draw, that offset what you lost to the mulligan.\n\n1st turn: Swamp + 1 CMC evasive guy / Tap land (if you have 2 1 CMC evasive guys)\n2nd turn: Swamp + 1/2 CMC evasive guy / Tap land (if you have 2 1 CMC evasive guys and already played your swamp and 1 CMC evasice )\n3rd turn: Swamp + Gix; attack with your evasive guys -> draw 2 cards\n4th turn: Attack with Gix + 2 evasive guys -> draw 3 cards; continue your turn in the post-combat main phase with 10ish cards in hand\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Ramp:"},{"insert":"\n\nWe use Sol Ring and Bubbling Muck for ramp but avoid small, incremental ramp (like Arcane Signet or Fellwar Stone) as our curve tops out at 3 CMC. Instead, the deck relies on larger, swamp-synergy ramps (Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant) to play multiple cards after the engine starts drawing cards.\n\nDark Ritual is an option, but it felt dead too often both in the late as well as early game. The only use would be to get Gix on turn 3 with 2 untapped lands, but I chose to include an additional Swamp instead. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Life gain:"},{"insert":"\n\nWe have to pay 1 life for every card we draw (which really adds up). A bunch of other cards also require us to pay life. So we include 7 dedicated massive life gain cards, that we will eventually draw into before running out of steam. Additionally, we include 5 creatures with lifegain and 3 creatures with extort.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Finishers:"},{"insert":"\n\nThe finishers make your army of little guys bigger and stronger so they pose an actual threat to opponents' life totals. Only having 5 of them is fine as digging 20-30 cards into the library is an easy feat.\n\nCaged Sun and Gauntlet of Power double up as a boost too.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Special Sauce:"},{"insert":"\n\nFont of Agonies is probably the best card in the deck. If you have 2 1 CMC evasive creatures in the start, you can sometimes even cast it on turn 2 and start destroying threats on turn 4. As you pay life many many times a turn, you can often activate the Font multiple times a turn.\n\nMinas Morgul, Dark Fortress and The Black Gate give even more evasion to your creatures. As the game goes on a 1/1 with menace or flying will become less and less useful. So we have to offset. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Politics:"},{"insert":"\n\nThough only Gix and Baleful Mastery explicitly serve political roles, the entire deck is implicitly focused on politics. Our advantages—large armies, full hands, high life totals, big mana—accumulate gradually and visibly, encouraging opponents to overlook us as threats and underestimate us. Gix gives an incentive for opponents to attack each other (because they only get the draw if they attack another of your opponents). Sometimes they will make deals to allow each other to hit each other with small creatures to draw, reducing both players' life totals.\n\nWe are also playing frighteningly little removal. The idea is that others deal with big threats for you. This can be a bit problematic, but the math is tight, so we can't afford to play more.\n"}]}
