Welcome back to another iteration of Learn2Magic. Thanks for joining me this week as I delve into an aggressive blue deck with control elements and a good deal of card draw.
The deck focuses on planting low cost, evasive creatures into play early on. Then, through either playing larger creatures or drawing through various spells, pumping those up and drawing even more cards with Bident of Thassa.
The finisher can vary depending on the length of the game. For shorter games, Chasm Skulker and Talrand, Sky Summoner can make short work of the opponent's life total, while Laboratory Maniac can assist us in winning simply through drawing out our library in those long games or mirror matchups.
We have a small suite of counter magic available to deal with some of our oppenent's threats, and also some creatures that implement control elements by locking down (tapping) our oppenent's creatures, allowing us to attack with less evasive creatures to trigger Bident of Thassa and draw even more.
Blue is one of my favorite colours in Magic, because as it is inertly more difficult to play, winning is so much more rewarding, knowing you have out-witted your opponent (but in most cases, you just drew more cards ;) )
Whichever way you win, playing blue can be a lot of fun for you, and a nightmare for your opponents.
