Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"Intro"},{"insert":"\nWelcome to my Pir & Toothy deck. This is my first ever \"from scratch\" deck. It has evolved a lot over the years.

I used to run this card in earlier versions of the deck, but found it to be game warping and it often lead to a turn of the other players digging for and failing to find enchantment removal before eventually losing. It wasn't what I was looking for but YMMV.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"The Game Plan"},{"insert":"\nThe goal of the deck is fairly straight-forward:\nPlay Toothy as early as possible."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Flicker Toothy until he is enormous and we have drawn enough of our deck to set up an alpha strike."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Give Toothy trample or some other form of evasion that will allow him to swing past opponent's blockers for lethal."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nPlayers will quickly learn that if they allow this deck to untap with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pir, Imaginative Rascal"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Toothy, Imaginary Friend"}},{"insert":" on the board can often mean that one of them is getting knocked out of the game that turn. Therefore Toothy (and less often Pir) will quickly start eating removal spells. That's generally okay as long as there are some counters on Toothy that will allow you to draw into more cards and either recast Toothy quickly or play some of his understudies.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"The List"},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Dorks and Other Turn-1 Ramp"},{"insert":"\nOne of the biggest weaknesses of this deck is that our game plan is reliant on casting two 1/1 creatures for a total of 7 mana. I usually like to try to get them both out by turn 3 before most casual tables are excited to start spending their own mana on policing the board rather than developing their own strategy. \n\nIn order to pull this off, we need to ramp on Turn 1 so that we can cast Pir on Turn 2 and Toothy on Turn 3. Therefore, most of the ramp in the deck comes from mana dorks ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Llanowar Elves"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fyndhorn Elves"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elvish Mystic"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Delighted Halfling"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Birds of Paradise"}},{"insert":" ). \n\nEven better than dorks though are the 1-mana land enchantments "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wild Growth"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Utopia Sprawl"}},{"insert":". In my opinion these cards belong in pretty much any deck running green because they can be mana neutral on the turn that you cast them most of them time. In this deck, they usually serve the same role of helping up to jam our commanders as fast as possible.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Burgeoning"}},{"insert":" also fits the bill of allowing us to cast to P&T early. But it is much better late game for us than in our opening hand. Because we run a very lean land count in this deck, it can be hard to make the most of Burgeoning using only the lands in our opening hand. I've gone back and forth on removing this card from the deck, but I've left it in because it can be incredible late game if we draw a bunch of lands all at once off of Toothy.\n\nThe last two turn 1 ramp spells are actually fast mana cards that can be played on either turn 1 or turn 2 to get P&T out on schedule: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ancient Tomb"}},{"insert":" and the obvious one, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sol Ring"}},{"insert":". The Tomb the highest splurge card money-wise in the deck, but it is great in this deck. We are using cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snap"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Frantic Search"}},{"insert":" to untap lands which means that having Ancient Tomb, Wild Growth, or Utopia Sprawl out can mean going mana positive. This can be especially important after flickering Toothy and drawing a pile of cards that we then want to dump onto the battlefield as quickly as possible to overwhelm the table and push through a win.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Other Ramp"},{"insert":"\nThere are a few other pieces of ramp that I like to run in this deck despite the fact that they don't actually help get P&T out faster.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Everflowing Chalice"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Astral Cornucopia"}},{"insert":" are both fun counters-based mana rocks that synergize with Pir. I prefer to cast them for X=1. Pir gives them an extra charge counter which means that Everflowing Chalice becomes mana neutral on the turn that it comes down and Astral Cornucopia results in a net loss of 1 mana on its first turn in play, but it can color fix nicely, which can become very relevant when trying to hold up counterspells.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mox Amber"}},{"insert":" is the only card in the deck that I would consider \"fast mana\" aside from Sol Ring and Ancient Tomb Obviously any card that can go mana positive on the turn it is played is hugely powerful. Compared to those cards though, Mox Amber can only help after at least one of our commanders comes into play. That makes it kind of an expensive card that doesn't fit well into the initial turns of the game plan. However, this card feels great to draw during a big burst of cards off of a Toothy \"exits\" trigger. It can help to start dumping the cards that you draw as soon as possible and hopefully avoid having to discard to hand size. \n\nWe're only running two other dedicated ramp spells: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Skyshroud Claim"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Three Visits"}},{"insert":". \n \nSkyshroud was a more recent addition to the deck and was a bit of a concession. Because our strategy is slow overall and because Toothy will often be removed, we need to be prepared to sustain our gameplan into turns 5-7. If Toothy is removed early, taking a turn off to lay low and cast Skyshroud to find the lands you'll need to pay commander tax feels pretty okay. \n\nThree Visits is vestigial from earlier builds of the deck. It serves as fairly efficient land ramp spell, but mostly has stayed in the deck for now because I happen to have the Portal Three Kingdoms printing and I think it's super cool.\n\nA few cards in the deck do ramp us, but they are doing double duty in other functional categories. I will talk about those cards more in future sections. They include: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Great Henge"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kodama of the West Tree"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hadana's Climb // Winged Temple of Orazca"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kami of Whispered Hopes"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Talon Gates of Madara"}},{"insert":".\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Traditional Card Draw/Cantrips"},{"insert":"\nToothy is the primary card draw engine of the deck, but you need to prime the pump a little bit to get him up to speed. These cards are meant to get some counters on Toothy early and help with card filtering in the early game to get set up for success.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Slip Through Space"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gitaxian Probe"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Brainstorm"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sylvan Library"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Frantic Search"}},{"insert":" \n\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Flicker"},{"insert":"\nHonorable Mentions: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Whirlpool Rider"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Whirlpool Drake"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Give // Take"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Essence Flux"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Splash Portal"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Planar Incision"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Siren's Ruse"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Alternative Beatsticks"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Chasm Skulker"}},{"insert":" \n\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"No hand limit"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spellbook"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reliquary Tower"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Playing with Counters"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hardened Scales"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Ozolith"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Solidarity of Heroes"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Flux Channeler"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Evasion/Pump Effects"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Berserk"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Slip Through Space"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ram Through"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Removal"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Berserk"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Boseiju, Who Endures"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Otawara, Soaring City"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Strip Mine"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cyber Conversion"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snap"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bridgeworks Battle // Tanglespan Bridgeworks"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Protection"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Talon Gates of Madara"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Witch's Clinic"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lightning Greaves"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fog"}},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"March of Swirling Mist"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Slip Out the Back"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Counterspells"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"An Offer You Can't Refuse"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Swan Song"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mana Drain"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Untappers"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Displacer Kitten"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rewind"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Minamo, School at Water's Edge"}},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snap"}},{"insert":"\n "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Frantic Search"}},{"insert":" \n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Other Utility"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Noxious Revival"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Borne Upon a Wind"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Regrowth"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bala Ged Recovery // Bala Ged Sanctuary"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bridgeworks Battle // Tanglespan Bridgeworks"}},{"insert":" \n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glasspool Mimic // Glasspool Shore"}},{"insert":" \n\n"}]}
