Hi everyone, I always say that I'm excited on this article or that deck tech but today's deck tech is pretty special because it received a lot of commendations from the opponents I played with. They actually coined the name Mardu Answers because it's basically a control deck with Planeswalkers and has answers to almost... Continue Reading →
Zombies are not dead yet (pun intended)
Hello again, Part of my philosophy in playing this game we all love so much is breaking the norms and challenge the status quo. The Pros of the game are naturally good at this especially the Japanese who are known for building bizarre decks that look like a hot mess but takes a Pro Tour... Continue Reading →
Dino-mite!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the lab! Today's deck tech is inspired by a friend of mine, Ian Joshua, who played GW aggro that uses Adorned Pouncer, Sram's Expertise cascading into free Servo Exhibitions, and Appeal-to-Authority to give his Adorned Pouncer a huge boost in power and trample to hit me with 14-16 damage....

Golem Stockpile
Hello everyone, It's Saturday morning and I picked up an idea while I was taking my BW tokens deck apart. BW and Abzan tokens are the most successful go-wide strategy in standard as of late and much to their success is the crazy synergy that the deck plays. Hidden Stockpile is the main cog in...

Dinos on a Plane

We recently held our store championships here in Manila and a friend of mine won the tournament with UB control that played Nezahal, Primal Tide. This Loch Ness Monster of a dinosaur is priced so cheap it's criminal! It wins games on its own, it's... Continue Reading →
Izzet GPG
Hi Alchemists, God-Pharoah's Gift is one of the most flavorful cards from Amonkhet, letting you raise an army of Eternals every combat step. It was also very successful in the standard format which forced some decks to play graveyard hate in respect to its power if left unanswered. There are two ways to build the... Continue Reading →
Dubious Challenge
Hello Alchemists, Today I am sharing with you a fun looking deck from an avid reader and follower of the blog. He goes with the name Pan Doe who brews deck while traveling the world, literally, because he is aboard some ship and kills time by playing and brewing. Today I want to share his...

BW Toolbox Control
Possible breakthrough ahead. So I re-analyzed how the BG Azor toolbox deck works and found out that it can actually be ported to White which makes the deck better against aggro decks. I also noticed that the BG shell can take some time assembling the pieces to win the game which is not always good... Continue Reading →
Big Fat Flier
Hello Brewers! This won't be a long deck tech because I don't have the time but I don't want this idea to slip pass me! So this deck tech is my attempt to revisit my Favorable Winds deck that used flying pirates like Siren Stormtamer and Kitesail Freebooter to win a tempo-based game and crash... Continue Reading →
