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.
