Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my illusion mono blue pet deck. This deck touches all of the hallmarks of blue's identity. If there is a game mechanic associated with blue, it is most likely that at least one card in this deck will manifest it. The deck attempts to blue a midrange stompy game with plenty control pieces in addition to the bodies produced by Minn and the other illusion cards which can be sacked for ramp or to cheat out strong permanents with her ability. All of this is while the deck naturally cultivates card draw engines. The deck can win through a set of conditions:\nBeatdown with exponential illusion created with Minn in conjunction with an evasion enabler such as Umezawa and Archon or the deck's creature boardwipes to open the way."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Milling or infinite mana combo with Meloku and Minn in conjunction with each altar respectively. Infinite Mana although non-deterministic should eventually find the rest of the other combos."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Phantasmal/Nyktos + Palinchron to draw into the other combos (such as blue sun's) or outvalue with infinite mana."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Self Milling with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Card draw Burn with Psychosis Crawler through exponential card draw and/or cloning of it."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Some relatively suboptimal pieces have been kept for personal enjoyment. Suggested switch-ins are Narset in conjunction with another wheel effect, force of negation, jeweled lotus, among other cedh staples. This deck is considered around a 6.5 to 7.5.\n\nIf you have found this deck and are interested in building it, I hope you enjoy playing it. This is a very special and personal deck for me. If you play it, even as a template with your own tweaks, then we can both carry the legend of the lord of dreams together. Thank you for taking interest in it. \n"}]}
