But you better be able to stay ahead while your opponent gets to see chunks of their deck to win before you can mill them out. You can activate the all-draw ability at the end of your opponent’s turn, so it’s possible to get ahead in a few turns. I only lost one game to it’s extra draw trigger, and honestly that’s an achievement of its own.įolio of Fancies does good work, but it’s not great if your opponent has no cards in hand. But it’s a prerelease-I’m playing my silly mythic rare and drawing all the cards. And also probably cut The Magic Mirror from the deck. Maybe I should have added a few more Mountains to be able to super-red-cast Sundering Stroke, or include Thorbran in the main deck. But eventually you are drawing five cards and turn and you will deck yourself if you don’t win immediately. The Magic Mirror looks very cool, and it helps you explode for a few turns. While I would not recommend that approach in a competitive event, it was totally worth the 3-2 record and six prize packs I took home for my efforts. Sometimes I like do engage in Izzet control pseudo-mill nonsense with only eight creatures. I could have given a run to my two copies of Eye Collector alongside Syr Konrad, the Grim, but that looked less fun for whatever reason. I did spend some time considering the black cards, but my black cards leaned more on creatures. Fortunately my pool provided some grade-A nonsense cards in blue and a few red removal spells. As much value as that card brings, I had no desire to jam a bunch of Grizzly Bears for five rounds of Sealed. You could bring in Merfolk Secret Keeper and Into the Story to go along with that theme.I joke about always playing white cards at prerelease events, and for Throne of Eldraine I open two copies of Charming Prince. Definitely a concept that I'd like to explore too. That way you could leave out things like Ob-Nixilis and Rule of Law which care about forcing the opponent to draw. Magic Mirror and Jace seem like they'd belong in their own deck with Folio, focused on self mill and self draw. I imagine playing it with a lot of mana up, I could pre-pop all treasure tokens for mana too, returning rule of law to my hand and probably an Ob-Nixilis and a Folio, then replay a bunch of spells ending with Rule of Law, returning my boards state but not theirs. Most tested it against playing Field of the dead (Golos/gates), mono black sacrifice, and adventure colors (mixes of G/W/B).įlood of Tears could be interesting. I guess the only thing I could do would be to Deputy him. I'm only in Silver 4 as of now so maybe its just not that popular at that level. I'm actually surprised I haven't come up against any Oko players yet. With Ob-Nixilis out, essentially becomes Deal 2X damage if you make the opponent draw the cards. Enter the God-Eternals would help this too if i had the wildcards to craft themģx Unmoored Ego: To deal with Field of the Dead/Gates payoffs/other annoying recurring creatures and spellsĮxpansion/Explosion: Could be played with help from Smothering Tithe treasures. Usually just used to pay for bigger folio activations or standard spell castingĢx Teferi, Time Raveler: to limit opponents to casting only 1 spell and only on their own turn along side Rule of Law and to wipe the board on opponents turnsĢx Kayas Wrath/1x Realm Cloaked Giant/2x Time Wipe: standard esper board wipe things, but Time Wipe works particularly well with Deputy of Detention, bouncing Deputy so it can be recast and any creatures it was holding get hit by Time WipeĢx Legions End/ 4x Deputy of Detention: The standard things, but especially against Field of the Dead zombies.ġx Emergency Powers: Mostly for the memes, dealing 7 damage to the face if Ob-Nixilis is out or making lots of treasure if Smothering Tithe is outĢx Drown in the Loch: Folio can help mill enough to destroy a larger creature or counter a bigger spell. Thanks!ģx Folio of Fancies: not to mill out the opponent, but to force card drawĤx Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted: to punish for drawing cards forced by folio or otherwise, the main win conditionĤx Rule of Law: to keep opponents from taking advantage of their full handĢx Smothering Tithe: to generate mana from Folio card draw, doesn't have a solid payoff as of yet. The sideboard is not currently fully developed.Īny discussion or suggestions for improving upon what I already have would be appreciated. I'm playing on MTG Arena and would probably have a slightly different list (more Teferi, Time Raveler/maybe some Enter the God-Eternals/Fabled Passage) but I'm currently out of Wildcards. I know Narset, Parter of Veils can be used to deny the card draw for the opponent, but I'm looking to win by forcing the opponent to draw. I had some thoughts that I put into a deck I have been testing. I was looking into decks with Folio of Fancies as part of a win condition and I haven't seen much other than some mill decks that don't seem too great.
