4C Elementals

Both Sultai and Temur Elementals are quite strong.  So, I figured why not go four colors with it.  Curving Risen Reef, Omnath, Yarok is quite strong.


Shout out to Saffron Olive for the Sultai shell.  Just added Omnath, removed some of the other value creatures and put in a couple of Tyrant's Scorn for additional removal or to save one of our own creatures.  Left out the green Cavalier because we draw so many cards, it was causing me to mill out.  Honestly, that might be the biggest downside of this deck.  I've literally drawn 20 cards in a turn when the engine gets going.  I could see cutting the Krasis to 1 or 0.  Maybe playing the 4th Agent of Treachery and something like Ugin, Nissa or maybe main-deck The Immortal Sun.

Could see Noxious Grasp or Fry in the side.

Don't think this is Tier 1 by any stretch, but it is a hell of a good time to play.  More than happy to hear thoughts/suggestions.

Great deck.  Maybe instead of Banefire, go with Rekindling Phoenix?  Diamond Mare in the side is great tech against the mirror.  Well done.

That's fair.  I would still want at least one in the main.  He has a +1 ability that I like in this deck.

4 Disallow; 2 Essence Scatter and a Negate all main, if they cast a spell.  If it sticks, 9 kill spells plus 3 bounce spells.  If I put Abrade in the main, what would you want me to take out?

Fatal push is in the main. I've got Abrade in the side.  I think I prefer Consign to Unsummon because it hits more targets and furthers the discard plan.  Spell Pierce is probably a good sideboard card.  Shock is redundant with Fatal Push, Sweltering Suns and Abrade.  I don't disagree that a tempo deck might be a good shell for Bolas, but I'm pushing a discard angle here.  Your ideas, in the end, might be correct.  Thanks for the input.  I will see what I can brew up with a tempo shell.

Bolas Discard Control

Trying to find the best shell for Nicol Bolas, the Ravager.  Since he already makes the opponent discard when he ETBs, I thought we might put a strong discard control shell around him and see what happens.  We just make it harder for the opponent to do what they want if they have no cards in hand.

You have no way to cast the Cartouche in your sideboard.

M19 Sifter's Fire

I have fallen in love with the 4 Color Sifter Wurm deck.  With the introduction of M19, we get Banefire, which I think takes this deck right over the top.  This is a slight modification of The Brew Crew's deck, modified for the upcoming format.  I am debating on whether to have a single copy of Fight with Fire main deck, but it certainly belongs in the side. 

Our real win-cons here are the 2 Cut/Ribbons and 2 Banefire, with Sifter Wurm just helping to keep us alive and get us to our win-cons.  Might also consider a single Mirari Conjecture in the main, so we can re-buy a Banefire.

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

M19 Wizards of the Gutter

Ultra-aggressive wizard prowess deck that utilizes Gutter Snipe to give us some late-game reach.  Ten cantrips so we can find our burn spells.  Sideboard has some counters, bounce and even The Flame of Keld if we need to go even faster.

M19 Fog Approach

We get a new fog card in the upcoming set, giving a total of 8 playable fogs.  With the introduction of Cleansing Nova, I am worried about traditional UW decks which rely heavily on enchantments as removal, so we only play 3 Cast Out in our main.  If our opponents aren't on white, we can sideboard in more, as we don't have to worry about Cleansing Nova bringing back what we have removed.

I think the main deck plays well against creature-based strategies.  If we have a control mirror, our sideboard allows us more counters and a couple some good beaters.  If we have artifact heavy decks, there is an additional Cast Out and some Naturalize effects in the side board.

Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
