Visions From Beyond- How many win-cons?

Visions From Beyond

Hello readers! This is Samuel Wells, back with another deck primer for possible competitors of the new standard.

This week I will be going back to the control side of magic. I will also be revisiting a color combination that I covered recently. I will be going over a Sultai Control list. Once again I focused on extracting value and having my win-con be arbitrary.

Without any more hesitation here is the deck;

Visions from Beyond- Back to Basics

Visions from Beyond- Back to Basics

Hello once again readers! This is Samuel Wells, bringing you another Vision From Beyond. I am back with yet another deck primer. This week I will be being going back to a deck that was a house in the last standard and has been getting coverage now.

It seems like everyone has talked about monsters as a deck, it was just a matter of what the flavor is. Do I stick with Jund and use the most powerful removal in the format? Is Temur monsters finally viable now that we have Sagu Mauler and Savage Knucklebalde? Does Naya get to slip in with Elspeth? I do think all of these decks do deserve this speculation, and I certainly have participated in this speculation. But I am most excited to go back to basics and work on a GR monsters list. One thing that I was struggling with consistently with all of the three color variations was what I could include and what I needed to cut. I always felt limited and that I was leaving out cards that felt vital the deck’s strategy. Just as an experiment I decided to go with just two colors and see where that went. The deck started coming together very quickly and what’s more, the deck felt like I got to play everything I wanted and I wasn’t trying too hard find the cards to fill the last slots.

Without anymore hesitation here is the deck;

*Note, the “?” in the decklist are 4 Xenagos, The Reveler. Tcgplayer was not cooperative tonight.

This deck really acts as an all in type of strategy that really is not trying to interact with the opponent, but rather trying to force the opponent to interact with me. I cut down on the spells that interact with the opponent down to just 4 lightning strike and 2 setessan tactics in the main. The rest of the main deck are threats and creatures tat help you ramp to your threats. This deck is very slim and wants to play a linear game one, preferably a linear game two in the best of matchups.

Hey guys how's it going. I know this is primarily a MTG group, but was wondering how many of us in here play any Bushiroad TCG's? Regionals for CardFight Vanguard, Futrure Card BuddyFight, and Weiss Schwarz are this weekend at the Hilton Albany, 40 Lodge St, Albany, NY 12207.


I'll be there this weekend and have been asked by Chaz Volpe to take some pics and possible videos of the event.

BoltSnapBolt- Getting things back on track.

Hey everyone just wanted to post this and say BSB is getting back on track. With various schedules and real life issues getting in the way, it can be frustrating to keep on a schedule based purely on passion.

My hopes is to keep the content coming, whether it be Vlogs/Podcasts/Articles/expanding our writer base to include other games.


Thank you for your continued support, as we continue to grow this community I am prepared to compensate writers and other members who continue to provide content here. Hopefully we can generate enough interest that it won't be too taxing for me in the process. With enough viewers and followers the blog could back a few bucks, which in turn I can contribute back to the writer.

I may also consider the use of a paypal contribution to anyone who wants to give to the blog for our continued success and delivery of content. I can set up a Kickstarter type reward system with varying levels of rewards based on money contributed...but I will deliberate on that more.



Thank you very much everyone. That is all!


I will also take this time to tell you I'm going to keep the Blog fresh and set an identity with a series of logo's/header's and a new set of content in the pipeline.


Any and all comments on anything I mentioned can be posted here! And encouraged!

Visions from Beyond - "BW Kill-Stuff"

Visions from Beyond - "BW Kill-Stuff"

Greetings readers! This is Samuel Wells with another Vision From Beyond. I am continuing my series of decks that I predict making it in the coming standard. Today I will not be going quite as deep as my last article. Instead of going with one of the highly synergistic decks, I am going to try and discuss a deck that will immediately be good and fits with the fundamentals of a new format to me.

Visions from Beyond- Sultai Dredge (KTK/THS Standard)

Visions from Beyond- Sultai Dredge (KTK/THS Standard)

Greetings readers! This is Samuel Wells bringing you yet another Visions From Beyond. For the upcoming weeks, I will be going through a small series of articles discussing deck archetypes that I am excited to see in the new standard.

The first deck that I want to see get testing is a deck that I alluded to in my first article coming back. I want to discuss the Sidisi Dredge deck that I outlined when I was discussing the viability of Sidisi. When I first wrote the article I was at my lowest point with excitement for Sidisi. The more I thought about how Sidisi worked in the deck the more synergies I saw in the deck. This made me excited to see how Sidisi could work in this shell and what he brings to the table as a threat.

So here is the list that I came up with:

Threats: 4 Nemesis of Mortals 4 Nighthowler 3 Sidisi, Blood Tyrant 1 Empty the Pits Yard Fillers: 4 Satyr Wayfinder 4 Commune With The Gods 1 Jace, The Living Guildpact Ramp: 4 Sylvan Caryatid Recursion: 1 Whip Of Erebos Interaction: 4 Thoughtseize 4 Sultai Charm 2 Hero's Downfall 2 Murderous Cut

Lands: 4 Polluted Delta 2 Temple of Malady 1 Temple of Mystery 1 Temple of Deceit 1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 3 Yavimaya Coast 3 Llanowar Wastes 2 Island 3 Forest 2 Swamp Sideboard: 2 Polukranos, World Eater 1 Pharika, God of Affliction 1 Erebos, God of the Dead 1 Jace, The Living Guildpact 1 Whip of the Erebos 2 Hero's Downfall 2 Drown In Sorrow 2 Gainsay 1 Clever Impersonator

Hey everyone! I know this is late but I wanted to still share this, be back next week for an actual article. I mentioned I was a lazy bum for not writing, but hopefully this makes up for it! FINALLY I don't crack complete trash from packs.


...again, sorry for being late!
