Lords of Winter - Moritte of the frost

> Why to play this deck

The commander: Moritte of the frost

Your general a very mutable card that It does a lot so you can use different sinergies.:

• It can clone any permanente in your deck, not just creatures
• it adds some counters, so you the clone is bigger than the original
• it is legendary, so you can use "Legendary specific" cards on it.
• The counters allow to play with persist sinergies (Coping Aerie ouphes for example)
• You can use "Snow" cards on it to cast it early.

The Changeling mechanic

The changeling keyword allows your army to use every tribal card you want. Now you can pump your army with no effort.

• They can be "Everything", so combining buff that are not be played togheter can be very goof. For example "Howpack resurgence" can be combined with "winged sliver" and your army will be very dangerous.

The Strategy

This deck have diferent ways to overcome your foes. At first the favors the "Voltron" strategy.

• Aattaking with you commander is the priority. It can take down an opponent with no effort.
• The best way to do this is to buf it with every Lord that simic can provide. All lords serve as anthems for Moritte and for the other changeling. "Lord of the unreal", "Megantic Sliver" or "Biowaste Blob" was not meant to be played togheter. This deck surpass that design, making them viable in the same deck.
• "Creature type matter" cards like like "Stoneforge Masterwork"or "Crown of skenfar" get huge.in this deck. Half of our creatures share all the types so is not bad idea to use things like "Coat of arms"
• Any tribal specific cards provide good options in a very low budger. So you play a lot of spell of different and weird tribes, that are not very common to play togheter like "Dragon's Hoard" and "Oathkeeper, Takeno's Daisho".

Turn progression example

• Turn 1: Start with Universal Automaton or Mothdust Changeling to have some creatures or play any tribal equipment like
  Stoneforge Masterwork, Runed Stalactite, Blade of the Bloodchief.
• Turn 2: Is good to play a 2 mana creature or spell that help you to ramp, Harabaz Druid, Manaweft Sliver and Gemhide Sliver can provide you a lot of mana if you start with them early
• Turn 3 Play a lord or a creature acording to the mana you have. This are some good examples of cards: "Lord of the Unreal", "Elvish Archdruid", "Biowaste Blob"
• Turn 4 or 5 Play your commander, choosing a lord to make it buff the other creatures you control as well. Then if you have some mana, attach her any weapon you consider usefull
• Turn 6 and above: The plan is to add more lords and more changelings. Prioritice those who add some bonus to your commander like Pheres-Band Warchief or Howlpack Resurgence for make it go throw enemy defences

> My personal pick

This are the cards that I used in my deck. The are pretty good in play and I really like the art. Fell free to adapt them to your personal taste.

Conditional tapped lands

Snow Lands
The fact that she is snow is not as powefull as it look... but is flavorfull so I went with it.

• Snow-Covered Forest & Snow-Covered Island - Are always better than the non-snow ones
• Faceless Haven - Can be a great creature of all creatures types
• Rimewood Falls - it enters the battlefield tap but is snow

Taped double color
I dont like to use a lot of tapped lands, so I only used a few of them

• Path of Ancestry - Moritte shares all creatures types so we are always getting the scry.
• Simic Growth Chamber, Temple of Mystery, Lumbering Falls are just here for the color

Clasic Utility
This are here because can be usefull in some ways and enter the battefield untapped.

• Alchemist's Refuge

Tribal Utility
This cards are used to abute the fact that Moritte is all creatures types
