Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Deck Description"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"This deck is led by "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Codie, Vociferous Codex"}},{"insert":". It's a weird hybrid deck that's part spellslinger, part lands matter, part value pile, but it really works. It has a strong Gates package that you should be trying to take advantage of every game (in ways specified below).\n\nThe deck's mana curve is curated such that casting Codie on turn 3 and activating him for 5 mana on turn 4 is reliable and optimal almost every game. Casting a strong 5mv spell ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Escape to the Wilds"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bring to Light"}},{"insert":") is good at this time, but the deck also has plenty of 1mv spells to cast at this stage so you always hit one of three strong 0mv spells ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ancestral Vision"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Inevitable Betrayal"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Profane Tutor"}},{"insert":") with Codie's cascade-like ability. After that, you can spend the remaining 4 mana on anything you like. Codie will go under the radar most of the time and avoid spot removal but is capable of netting a truly disgusting amount of value over the course of a game.\n\nThe deck runs a lot of land tutors, but the most important lands in the deck by far are "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gond Gate"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Baldur's Gate"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Field of the Dead"}},{"insert":". Gond Gate lets you avoid being punished for playing your Gates and having good fixing; Baldur's Gate can give you heaps of mana in the late game; and Field of the Dead makes up for Codie's drawback by giving you a steady stream of bodies. Field of the Dead in particular is strong with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rebuild the City"}},{"insert":" (with the original and the copies immediately making 12 Zombie tokens altogether upon entering and/or seeing each other enter). But Gond Gate is by far the most important land to find in the early game (not accounting for the specifics of the game itself). When casting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Circuitous Route"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hour of Promise"}},{"insert":", Gond Gate and Baldur's Gate are the best two lands to find if you have neither in hand or on the board. Field of the Dead is stigmatized in ways that those two lands are not, so it will eat land removal and is better played when you're closer to hitting 7 differently named lands.\n\nThis deck wins with a snowball of value. In the very late game, cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Time Stretch"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Expropriate"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mizzix's Mastery"}},{"insert":" (preferably with 20+ instants and/or sorceries in your graveyard) can evoke groans and concessions, while "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Insurrection"}},{"insert":" or a well-thought-out Inevitable Betrayal can provide a more conclusive victory. Slower and meaner is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Echocasting Symposium"}},{"insert":", which can give opponents a copy of Codie, effectively locking them out of the game until they can find a way to deal with him that doesn't involve casting permanent spells. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Maze's End"}},{"insert":" is a backup win condition that I don't like to use unless all other options are exhausted or I'm just spinning wheels during an extra turn with nothing to do. It's like an \"escape valve\" win con. I've never won with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Basilisk Gate"}},{"insert":" before, but I will try it someday.\n\nBracket Explanation"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I consider this deck to be a high-powered Bracket 3. It is not heavy on interaction or combos (and is predictably weak against aggressive decks considering the lack of creatures in the 99 and and the habitually tapped commander), but it does have a lot of tutors and so is really consistent.\n"}]}
