winds of change

by Kazzong on 25 July 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (9 cards)

Creatures (5)

Enchantments (4)

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

Ok. This deck was inspired by Jessie, asking a question about words of wind for a deck he was building.

This is what I came up with when I looked at the card. :)

How to Play

Ok. The best way to play this deck is to have at least 3 mana producing creatures out along with intruder alarm and words of wind.

With this setup you can play elvish visionary or wall of blossoms an infinite amount of times, allowing you to bounce your opponent's entire board back into their hand.
Also allows for infinite mana if you have a 4th mana producing creature out. (hence the enchantments and the dryad arbor.)

Beat stick cards: Chasm skulker and black vise.
And the "I am a really big jerk" card: Stroke of genius. Put that infinite mana to good use and make your opponent draw their entire deck. :)

Deck discussion for winds of change

Love it.
Stroke of Genius for the win! Classic! Got to love it.

Don't think I have ever seen both Black Vise and Stroke of Genius in a single deck. Also have to love that.

Counters that draw cards/activate Words of Wind, nice.

Mana producers for the combo/and in the case your lands get bounced. Nice, again.

Good job, sir!

Well... I have an infinite mana combo, but it needs me to draw a card everytime I start it over again. So I would draw every card on my deck all in a single turn. So if I use stroke of genius on my opponent it is going to make be draw at lest as many cards.

no, it works. I just thought that it had a drawback that wasn't really there. Lol... :)
so I made something better than I thought. :)

and I meant that I am an idiot who outsmarted himself.

Making stuff better than you thought is a good thing :)

Oh I know that... But I just feel stupid for not seeing it in the first place. Words of wind replaces the draw effect with a bounce effect, meaning that I won't draw myself out while bouncing and gaining infinite mana. And for some reason that didn't quite click in my head, and I was thinking that it drew AND bounced. * facepalm*. So yeah...

Lol. Okay, yeah, that makes more sense. :)

What do you know about Flicker/Blinking cards? I just found them...and they intrigued me...any advice on this one is much appreciated.

I am very interested in what you could do with "flicker" and "blink"
It is the tricky stuff that seems right up your alley.

With that said, the deck has my like...but this is one of those decks that makes you say, "Why the hell doesn't it have more likes?!"

Ok, first... Flicker it's interesting. Trying to find a way to break it actually. No luck yet though. Audio trying to stay away frog current staple break cards. * cough* intruder alarm* cough*. I would be happy to check out your flight deck.

And as for this deck not having more likes... I have been on the vault for a decent amount of time, but not keen for being a good deck builder. So not may people bother to look at new things that I post. A few I guess. :)

Oh, and black vise is a pure evil card, I agree. Which is why it is in here. :)

I build... Novelty decks. Not really competitive on a tourney level player, but not really simple enough for a decent casual player either. Too complicated and unreliable, really. With a few exceptions I guess. I design decks that work... But are so unlikely to get everything they need for it to do so.

But enough about me. :)

I will certainly check out your flicker and blink decks. :)
See if can help you out in any way. :)

I think that 1st paragraph describes me too. :)
Especially the Flicker/Blink decks. Nice, in theory...but in the real world...probably will never work.
