{"ops":[{"insert":"This is toolbox/proliforation deck built around the "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Aetherspark"}},{"insert":" . I have wanted to build around the aetherspark for a long time now, and i feel like this could be a perfect deck for that. Gameplan is pretty simple. Ramp so you can get "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sun-Spider, Nimble Webber"}},{"insert":" out on turn 3, go find the aethetspark (or something else thats where the toolbox comes in), and then play out the aetherspark and attach it to sun spider. Sun spider is a great fit as an aetherspark general, because it also has built in evasion on your turn. And since the atherspark needs to connect to tick up the loyalty, its perfect. So, we are probably getting aetherspark with the commander. How can we build around the aetherspark? First of all, a lot of proliferate. Proliferate is SUCH a strong mechanic if you can utilize it to its full potential. The aethersparks ult isnt gameending in it self, BUT it can lead to super explosive turns and a lot of value. Since we are playing a lot of proliferation, the deck takes advantage of having other card with counters on the we can proliferate. First of all, theres a cute little superfriends subtheme. I think we play around 10 planeswalker, which is a pretty good amount i think. Because if you land a planeswalker while having enough setup, it can easily take over the game. Because of this, I think "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Silent Arbiter"}},{"insert":" might one of the best cards in the deck. We ever only really need to attack with one creature. Our commander (with the aetherspark attached), but it can totally shut down aggression from opponents. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Propaganda"}},{"insert":" is in the deck, and even though it doesnt tax attacks towards the planeswalkers: 1. We arent always going to be having Walkers on the battlefield 2. Theres not a whole lot of \"creature\" and \"defensive\" board prescense going on, and we will be putting a target on ourselves. \nThere's a lot of really good blue (around) two-mana drops that draws cards in some way, but also puts counters on themselves. The new "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wan Shi Tong, Librarian"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pollywog Prodigy"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ledger Shredder"}},{"insert":" for example. These cards provide a ton of draw power in themselves, and because we play a lot of proliferation they can turn into real threats really quick. There is also notable lands in the manabase that we can proliferate onto. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urza's Saga"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Uthros, Titanic Godcore"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Saprazzan Cove"}},{"insert":" are all lands that can benefit from the proliferating. A couple other notable cards are the two blink cards that we play. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thassa, Deep-Dwelling"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghostly Flicker"}},{"insert":" . These card serve many purposes. Ghostly flicker can for example be protection for both the aetherspark. And we dont really need our commander after the tutor, other than it being a good body for the aetherspark. You can always cast it again from the command zone for an overpriced tutor. Flickering your commander is a bit of a non-bo since you then have to spend a turn to attach the aetherspark again, but you also tutor up another card. \nWhen you play a secret commander, like the aetherspark, there is always a problem of how to get it back if it gets removed. And for that, its not really a problem. Because we are monocolor, we can play more super great utlility lands. Two of them are "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Academy Ruins"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Buried Ruin"}},{"insert":" . Both getting back an artifact. We also play "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Expedition Map"}},{"insert":" so we can go find either one of those lands, OR "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx"}},{"insert":" which can give us so much mana. Again, we are monocolor so we can play some great mono color cards like nykthos, the "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sapphire Medallion"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Throne of Eldraine"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Commander's Plate"}},{"insert":". Yes, they are expensive mono color Staples, but they all really boost the powerlevel, and i like playing fun and powerful cards. \n\nNow to the fun part: How do we win? I included a couple ways i think the deck can win. The first one is in my opinion the most fun. Infect! How perfect while proliferating and doing your gameplan you're just killing your opponents in the meantime. Three certain things in life: Death, taxes and slow infect kill by the mono blue toolbox deck;) Cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Inkmoth Nexus"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Prologue to Phyresis"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blighted Agent"}},{"insert":" can all put the first poison counter there. And thats all you need. Some cards in the deck can just kill your opponents out of nowhere. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Expansion Algorithm"}},{"insert":" can win you the game on the spot, or you can hold up "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Radstorm"}},{"insert":" when playing against spellslinger and absolutely shock them. You can't tell me thats not funny. The three last ways is just either beatdown by all your huge proliferated two drops, immense value by ulting all your walkers or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Psychosis Crawler"}},{"insert":" . "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Expropriate"}},{"insert":" usually wins you the game too. \nThere might be combo potential. I don't know. But that is not the intended way to win. \n"}]}
