Choose your preferred layout. You can mix and match options using the View as & Group by drop-downs above.

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer deck. The focus is heavily on morph and face down colorless creatures.\n\nThe win con here is to go wide and then finish off opponents with a ton of face down creatures using Sash and Waistcoat, Valgavoth's Onslaught, or Craterhoof Behemoth. \n\nWe also have the \"pickles lock\" (using Vesuvan Shapeshifter and Brine Elemental to permanently skip our opponent's untap steps.) in here which can be an indirect win con. \n\nKadena's ability reads \"The first face-down creature spell you case "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"EACH "},{"insert":"turn costs 3 less to cast,\" not just our turn. So we also have a lot of ways to give creatures flash so we can play morphs on each opponents turn and continue to draw cards. \n\nEvery morph and face down creature also functions as a cantrip while Kadena is out on the battlefield, so we want to try and consistently play or get face-down creatures to keep our hand full.\n\nIf we run out of morphs in hand, we also have a few morphs that can return other creatures to their opponents hands, or we can return our own morphs back to our hands and then play them again for continued draw, or to recycle the flip effect they may have.\n\nUntil we have a large board, we want to primarily use our face down creatures as reaction opportunities, not necessarily attackers. There are several cards that grant our creatures the ability to tap for mana, so we can make use out of them more than just blockers, and also we can still turn up a face down creature even when tapped.\n\nKeeping Kadena alive is very important, so we have a lot of morph abilities that negate, counter, remove, or redirect spells. For this reason we don't run very much standard removal or interaction, as our face down creatures fill those roles as well.\n\nThis deck was my first edh deck, and it has been my favorite deck still to this day. Give this a try and I don't think you will be disappointed!\n"}]}

Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer deck. The focus is heavily on morph and face down colorless creatures.\n\nThe win con here is to go wide and then finish off opponents with a ton of face down creatures using Sash and Waistcoat, Valgavoth's Onslaught, or Craterhoof Behemoth. \n\nWe also have the \"pickles lock\" (using Vesuvan Shapeshifter and Brine Elemental to permanently skip our opponent's untap steps.) in here which can be an indirect win con. \n\nKadena's ability reads \"The first face-down creature spell you case "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"EACH "},{"insert":"turn costs 3 less to cast,\" not just our turn. So we also have a lot of ways to give creatures flash so we can play morphs on each opponents turn and continue to draw cards. \n\nEvery morph and face down creature also functions as a cantrip while Kadena is out on the battlefield, so we want to try and consistently play or get face-down creatures to keep our hand full.\n\nIf we run out of morphs in hand, we also have a few morphs that can return other creatures to their opponents hands, or we can return our own morphs back to our hands and then play them again for continued draw, or to recycle the flip effect they may have.\n\nUntil we have a large board, we want to primarily use our face down creatures as reaction opportunities, not necessarily attackers. There are several cards that grant our creatures the ability to tap for mana, so we can make use out of them more than just blockers, and also we can still turn up a face down creature even when tapped.\n\nKeeping Kadena alive is very important, so we have a lot of morph abilities that negate, counter, remove, or redirect spells. For this reason we don't run very much standard removal or interaction, as our face down creatures fill those roles as well.\n\nThis deck was my first edh deck, and it has been my favorite deck still to this day. Give this a try and I don't think you will be disappointed!\n"}]}
