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- 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

Play Twin and Win- A story from Theo Manley

Play Twin and Win! GP Worcester

with Theo Manley

featuring Patrick Dickman

OK guys here it goes again. I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm not a writer. I'm typing this on my tablet, and I'm not the greatest with grammar, but I know Twin like the back of my hand, and my experience in Worcester is full of info. So please just try to get past my writing skills and take the info for what it is. With that said here it is:

Hi everyone, my name is Theo Manley and I've been playing magic since the beginning of Time . It's the one thing in my life I've always had the most passion for and modern is my favorite format. I've been on Twin since day one, and have played every iteration of the deck. This is my story of GP Worcester and the months leading into it.

My journey starts in Richmond where I had the worst showing with the deck ever in my life. I went 2-4 drop with one bye. So I only won one match with the deck. The funny thing is, that's the best thing that could have happened to me. See after dropping from the main event I was outside collecting my thoughts, when I hear someone asking for a light. I look up, and see Patrick Dickmann standing in front of me. I give him a light, and say hey your name is Patrick right? He says, "Yes it is." I respond with " dude you are hands down the best twin player in the world ". That's when his friend Valentin mackl says " ha ! He is how you say scrub" and they laugh. That's when it happens, the moment that I become friends with 2 of the best in the world. I say " now he is no Valentin Mackl but he is alright. They laugh and we hang out after every round day one and two.

Now I know you are thinking, what's this have to do with Worcester? Well everything. They asked me which version I was playing and I tell them American. The frown a little and ask my recor . I say dead, and they laugh and say it's because America wins only in war and Olympics! I laugh. Dickman asks how long I been on twin in general, and why I chose this version. He asks to see it. He tells me,

"It's too cute and all over the place need to tune it to do one thing or the other."
