Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 The purpose of the deck is to accelerate and
defend until it can either make infinite mana with either Early
Harvest/Rude Awakening & Reiterate and use that mana in combination with
Reiterate and other sorceries/instants to get anything worthwhile from
the deck and sideboard or go infinite with another combo. The basic plan
is to accelerate while holding off the other players, so you can build
up the cards to combo out at a certain point.
The deck can directly get multicolored spells from the
sideboard with Glittering Wish, so this counts as additional support.
Rude Awakening can be deadly for an opponent if the board is clear and 2
times the number of your lands already in play is more than this
opponent's lifepoints, it's 3 times with Mirari's Wake in play. It's
necessary to get at least one of the lethal or game winning combos out
of the sideboard to ensure victory.
Early discard shouldn't be too problematic, there's
more tutors and stuff to follow. The deck can't survive the following
when it's dedicated on you and gets repeated: discarding of your cards,
destruction of your lands, countering of your spells, early attacks
focused on you and you getting targeted by burn spells, but i reckon
most decks will falter under such circumstances. The deck is also
sensitive to grave-yard removal, but it should be able to manage that.
The mixture of blue and black Bringers is for variety
and also to have a healthy mixture of card-advantage and tutoring. One
remark i have about Demonic Collusion, in this deck it can be replaced
by Liliana Vess, which does work quite well, but does not combo with
Reiterate, you have to see whether relying solely on Diabolic Tutor is
worth it or not. Anyway, have fun with this deck. |
