They say it's "lottery", I say its Math..
Recently I made it to Top 8 in the Grey Ogre Games SEA qualifiers.
WHY THIS DECK:
- Consistency and Hate with the amount of graveyard synergy decks out in the meta alongside decks that abuses counter spells, this deck hoses those without sacrificing versatility and consistency with what its game plan is.
WHAT THE DECK INTENDS TO DO:
- Glimpse the plan is to get 7 or more permanents in to play [preferable some are tokens] and cast Glimpse of tomorrow netting you more permanents and "enter the battle field triggers" that gives you even more value.
WHAT IT CAN ALSO DO:
- Go infinite Deterministically [at about 30-40 permanents] this deck can go and loop Omnath triggers infinitely by paring it with the endurance trigger targeting yourself, while stacking the ETB triggers in a way that you draw first, before your Risen Reef triggers.
- "Play Fair" while the opponent goes on and board hate against your combo, casting turn 3 risen reef and turn 4 Omnath is a brutal rebuttal to mulligan hands that tries to get Teferi tick-up or a chalice on zero.
- "Advantage over Tier Decks" while the rage is all about 4c yorion, Murktide, Living end, or Yagmoth this deck simply rolls these variants over with the combination of cavern of souls and endurances being in the main deck.
HOW TO MULLIGAN:
- Cascade is not Required contrary to other combo decks, it is not important to have a key card [cascade card] to be in your opening hand. Since you only need to cast this by turn 4 or 5. The math is in your favor.
- Prioritize Curve if at all possible, you need to develop the board by ensuring you generate token value on turn 1, 2, 3 and 4. Ideally that should be T1 Garden, T2 Fish, T3 Reef, T4 combo
- Take the Ragavan I know its counter-intuitive but keep hands that potentially are vulnerable to Ragavan+Bolt, as long as you have the Curve. Do not spend your Fury on 1 monkey. The added treasure for a counter spell sill not matter with your Cavern of Souls and "EoT [End of Turn]" Endurance/Violent Outburst
