Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Pillow Fort Version 2. It runs off of a self mill plan to dig for the cards you want or need. I sort of like this version better than the last version, but I see strengths in both sides. Comments are welcome on how to make this deck better OR just your personal way of making the Pillow Fort Deck. (also I'm not so great with sideboards so any suggestions there will be appreciated!)

How to Play

Build your fort out of the numerous Enchantments.

Deck discussion for Pillow Fort V.2

I would probably drop one of the elixers for the 3rd connections, having more than one elixer is never really good you want it to refresh your deck and give you more live draws but its counter-productive if you have a deadbridge in play. Eidolon of Blossoms seems like a must also as you're more of a control deck pillow forting until the late game, the card draw it provides is vital. Besides that I would say make a sideboard but I have no idea what your meta is like.

Eidolon of Blossoms does sound like a good card for this deck. And I see your point about Elixir. I guess I had two as a safety net haha but I understand your point. I actually might take out the Progenitor Mimic though the main reason why he/she is in there is to copy one of the enchantment creatures that has constellation or a threat, though copying a monoblack devotions Grey or Desecration Demon would be good too... or a stormbreath... I guess he would be fine in my deck then. The meta I'm talking mainly about are Mono Black Devotion (a deck I'm getting tired of seeing). Most of the other decks I'm fine with facing, I'm just tired of the overplayed Mono Black decks.

for mono black cards like Bile blight(good vs mono blue also, deicide(hits erebos, and connections and it also rolls mono blue.) and pithing need(shuts down packrat or connnections) are good. Mono black will get a huge nerf in 4 months after it loses rat, sieze, demon, connection, muta, downfall and spectre.

Yeah like mimic is a fun card and it isn't bad, it just might be too slow or too fragile(depending how they use their removal)
not having an answer for dragon or demon is huge( sure you have banishing light, and maggot) but cards like downfall, thoughtsieze or ultimate price could be at least sideboard worthy. Maybe just keep mimic in and then after boarding become a more interactive deck. like do your game plan game one and then side into removal(if you have to) you need removal for R/G monsters and MBD

Yeah I know exactly what you mean with the removal and Thoughtsieze and Downfalls were definitely going into the sideboard. Luckily with the way this deck is built, once the sets rotate, I can still use most of this list and then pick and choose what to add or take out to make it even better. Right now the only deck I have built is a Boros Auras deck that relies heavily on Madcap Skills and Ethereal armor and once those two cards are gone, the deck is basically done (plus I don't like Aggro so) so i'm trying to find something that will have potential in the mere future.

Same, like I'm A control player at heart. The only Standard deck i have build on paper is BUG midrange, its fun but I've been getting more into modern where I play my 8-Rack control deck.
I normally don't like aggro, but all these enchantment synergies have drawn me to trying all the different aspects. I am currently trying to build a W/B aggro deck that will be playable post rotation. It's rather competitive at the moment but I feel it will be a lot better in the coming months. (the aggro deck is on here)

Yeah... my problem with my W/R deck is 8 times out of 10, it will win game 1. Then after they sideboard, you have about 2/5 chance of winning if you are going against a competitive deck. It's just not as consistent as control or midrange.

That's why my pillow fort deck focus's more on lifegain/drain, my meta is filled with R/W burn, aggro and MBD/MUD. It normally ends the game with your creatures getting beefy from angel or just life drain. Mine has a bit worse of a match-up vs control but its still like 45-55% ish.

Like most aggro decks are packing like Fiendslayers and gift or unflinchings in the sideboard so R/W burn gets pretty bad game 2-3 baring them not drawing any hate cards.
