Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"A playable bracket 2 deck, though it might rub some playgroups the wrong way with its tendency to have a Big Turn that involves a lot of card draw and often just ends the game in a way that's difficult to interact with outside of instant-speed removal or counterspells.\n\nNote that this -is- a Bracket 2 deck; it can win on turn 6, but that requires a lot of stars to align. You'll more likely be hitting turns 8-9, and disruption will set you back if you're not being careful.\n\nYour gameplan is pretty simple:\nGenerate a lot of mana"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Depending on what you draw, move toward a combo finish (Elvish Raft / Coralhelm + Pupu / Walking Archive) or just resolve Gandalf w/ protection"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Don't be afraid to just jam a Gandalf if you have no clear path forward! He's worth 7 mana! He draws you cards and puts a clock on your opponents and blocks!"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nKeep this in mind while playing:\nBlue doesn't have a strong tutor package for the variety of spell types you want to assemble. Drift of Phantasms is generally your best tutor in the deck as a result, and that is _not_ a compliment."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"So, instead of trying to get a flawless finish, dig, dig, dig dig digdigdig. You should aggressively filter through cards as fast as possible without sacrificing your ability to impact the board in meaningful ways. (This is why a lot of the creatures in this deck scry — they let you get some defenses down as they filter. Cantrips are great, but they scale with your deck's power — and a lot of the cards you're digging for kind of suck on their own. Best go for the repeatable scry strapped to a chump blocker.)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"If you aren't assembling combo pieces fast enough, just go for big mana and resolve a Gandalf. Seriously, he draws a _ton_ of cards and gives you board presence."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSome card-specific notes:\nGhost Town is better than it looks. It kickstarts all your engines (Elvish Raft / Coralhelm + Pupu / Walking Archive), and it can let you trigger a lot of landfall on your opponent's turn."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Dark Depths combo (Vesuva/Thespian's Stage) isn't well-supported here, but it is here. There are times where you'll just accidentally have a Marit Lage on turn 2 or 3 and that can do a lot to bully the table; it also gives you some late-game options when your primary combo pieces are stripped out. I wouldn't bet on it as your primary win-con, but don't forget about it, either."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Don't resolve Arid Archway or Guildless Commons unless you have to for mana. But, also, don't hold onto them hoping for a combo finish, either, when Gandalf could just get you some significant incremental value. These aren't whirlwind-slam land-drop guarantees."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nMake it your own:\nI made some choices in this deck that will probably not jive with the average player. There are no fetchlands / Wasteland / Crucible packages, for example, partly because I didn't think it was necessary to grind out wins off of double landfall; it felt like overkill when what I really needed was more ways to dig through the deck."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"This deck really wants a lot of the fast-mana options in the game-changers category, but I didn't want to push into bracket 3."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I kind of loathe the \"double your triggers!\" abilities because they just make Gandalf better. "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"He's already really good."},{"insert":" I wouldn't add those to this deck unless you find another way to really load up on the triggered abilities."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I once had an Omniscience / Show and Tell package in this deck. I think that's probably a really interesting path to go down if you're more interested in a bombastic big-mana approach."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"}]}
