Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello All,\n\nI humbly submit my deck for the EDHREC deckbuilding contest for October, 2025. This is a deck led by the good Doggo, Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd. The deck has a Mono-White Flicker upfront theme, but the rest of the deck revolves around Manifest Dread! That will be our jumpscare. Triggering Manifest Dread Cards, using Phelia to flicker them, and \"jumpscaring\" our opponents with our upside down cards! What will Phelia fetch? Sometimes a mana dork/cute ball, sometimes it could be even be a interdimensional Eldrazi, or Huge Angel! We will never know what the dog will bring back! \n\nThe deck is simple in theory. Phelia allows us to \"flicker\" one permanent on each attack. If we chose to do our own, the dog gets bigger. So our beginning turns always play out the same. Turn 1 --> Plains, Turn 2 ---> Another Land, at the End-Step before our turn, Flash in Phelia. \n\nWhat we do on Turn 3 is up to us. In the deck I have a number of generic value creatures. Cards like Wall of Omens, Spirited Companion, and Combat Thresher are all great T3 Flicker targets. It draws us a card on ETB or LTB, and then when we flicker it, it comes back in drawing us another card, making sure we stay ahead on card advantage.\n\nIn the same vein, a lot of Mono-Whites Ramp is in the form of catchup. So cards like Deep Gnome Terramancer, Boreas Charger, and Claim Jumper all help us ramp, along with non-conditional ramp creatures such as Kor Cartographer and Solemn Simulcram. These, along with Pearl Medallion and Sol Ring make sure we ramp as often or as little as we need to. \n\nAlong with our card advantage creatures, I also have a package of creatures such as Welcoming Vampire and Rumor Gatherer. Since alot of our deck are smaller utility creatures, these will trigger often, but they also trigger off of our Manifest Dread cards, which are notably 2/2's. \n\nThat leads us to the heart of the Deck. Manifest Dread! Now, primarily a green or black mechanic, our options for Manifesting in these colors are slim. Some notable inclusions are \nUnsettling Twins"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Unidentified Hovership"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Lightform"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Soul Summons"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThe best of these cards are easily Dissection Tools and Conductive Machete. These two cards allow us to Manifest Dread on ETB. So on the turns we play these we manifest the top card our library. 9 times out of 10 we are going to want to flicker these two cards with Phelia as it will allow us to repeatedly manifest dread. On the other hand, if we manifest something good like an Avacyn Angel of Hope, or a Blightsteel Colossus, we can then use Phelia's trigger to \"flicker\" the manifested card, returning it at endstep and getting us a giant creature at the end of our turn all while cheating mana cost! That is the jumpscare of the deck. Sometimes we will manifest lands, value creatures, or instants/sorceries, other times we will manifest our giant threats! Pick your favorites for this strategy but some cards I like are,\nLuminous Broodmoth"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Kozilek, the Broken Reality"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Avacyn Angel of Hope"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Anticausal Vestige "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Serra's Emissary"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Elesh Norn"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nWe have a few ways to tutor these cards in white. Besides Enlightened Tutor, we have Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, and Stoneforge Mystic, both going to find us an equipment. This could be one of these artifacts, but it could also go find skull clamp for card advantage, sword of the animist for ramp, or any other value equipment we need at the time. \n\nAnother great artifact is Scroll of Fate. This card lets manifest any card from our hand, at instant speed, and we can even flicker it the same turn with Phelia. Otherwise, getting rid of a card you don't need at the time makes for a great blocker. \n\nOne of the peculiar interactions that Phelia has, if we do manifest a land, we can then flicker it with Phelia. In doing so, we ramp ourselves by 1, in addition to making our land drop for turn. Who said Mono-White can't ramp and draw?\n\nEventually, Phelia will get removed, or be unable to attack. So, we packed a few more flicker cards to assist with the game plan. Besides your typical Cloudshift and Ephemerate, which can help protect Phelia. We also have, \nEldrazi Displacer"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Touch the Spirit Realm (Doubling as Removal)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Charming Prince"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Fortune Loyal Steed (Both Great Flicker Targets)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Teleportation Circle (Can notably flicker both Manifest Equipments)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nTwo new cards in from the Avatar Set that are great with the gampelan Appa, Steadfast Guardian as well as Airbending Lesson. These both serve as redundancy in the deck, and Appa could also lead this deck with a few cards changed around. Appa can airbend whatever card we manifested, allowing us to only cast it for 2, regardless of its CMC. Airbending Lesson does the same thing, but also draws us a card.\n\nWe have other ways to flip our manifested cards, but only a few cards flicker Artifacts, that's why I ended up choosing Phelia for this gameplan. The deck has alot of removal that is permanent based, so if we need to, we can re-use them with Phelia. Cards like Darksteel Mutation, Palace Jailer, and Bronzebeak Foragers. \n\nThe deck itself wins through combat. Blightsteel can 1 shot an opponent. Cathars Crusade and Moonshaker Cavalry are both classic Mono White Finishers. Overlord of the Mistmoors can make a bunch of flying blockers or attackers. Serra's Emissary can chose Creatures, letting you attack unimpeded by opponents blockers. While, Akroma's Will can just outright win the game. \n\nThis is a really fun deck. While we don't have access to alot of manifest dread, maybe in later sets we will return and get more toys to work with. As it stands right now. This deck sits firmly at bracket 3 and is a blast to play! I receive compliments all the time for its creativity, using a mechanic that doesn't have a lot of support in these colors, but most of all the wow factor of being able to drop 6,7,8 Mana creatures on T3! \n\nThat darn dog, what will she bring back next?\n\n"}]}
