4 Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
4 Brutal Cathar // Moonrage Brute
4 Brave the Elements
2 Castle Ardenvale
2 Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire
4 Mutavault

4 Wedding Announcement


Hopefully y’all understand why the SB guide is not going up with it right now, however the previous mono white primer has a lot of the MU’s covered and you can just expect the sword to jump into spots where it’s obvious and versus any deck where card advantage matters. Even UW. Turning every threat into a must answer is very nice.

This will change after the PT

1 portable hole

This is the deck I think is really underrated by the players at large. In large part due to not having an actual turn 1 play anymore. Now the deck has gained that. This deck while being extremely heavy on there’s has a lot of real strengths. Going over every other creature deck is very powerful and cards like coco and reconstruction offer you a lot of grind.

Few things I do that are different.

1. Angelic overseer is better than relmwalker imo. It’s easier on the mana and always gets you a card. It’s actually really rare that realmwalker outside of mirrors, draws more than 1 card. It also almost always gets shot down instantly. So this card doesn’t eat a removal spell as hard but does keep the cards coming.

2. Curse of silence is my plan for the removal decks. Lots of players play sanctuary which in theory is fine, in practice decks like RB have so many sweepers it’s more often a dead card. Similar for verdict or absorb in some games. So I bring silence in as an early play that throws their curve off then cash in later. It’s also sorta ok versus lotus field. You can just name strings or pages and suddenly they really need to mean it.

3. I expect this to be stock but I think ossification is a nice get for this deck for when deck. Having a removal you can hit off collected company and Kayla's is great but the mana efficiency in this card is great.

This deck is a little wild but I had roughly a real sb plan but wasn’t as confident it would be as good as mono white. Its ceiling is higher but its floor is lower. I like a lot about this deck and plan to do a guide on it after the pt. I just didn’t give lukka the time I think it deserved and now with the final hours I am to scared to pull the trigger. However this deck is probably a huge player going forward.

If you’re playing an event or the PT and your reading this cause you’re unsure about deck selection. I think all these decks are good and I have just opted for the deck with the best mana. More to come post PT

A little house keeping for all the long time patrons. Love yall thanks for staying around I am back from the crazy work stuff and once the PT is over I am back to doing this weekly!
