Controlling Tutor

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (14 cards)

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

The main idea revolves around Archmage Ascension, Shared Fate and the Stylus. Gilder Bairn is here to accelerate the Archmage Ascension. There is also a little Soul Echo as it works well with the Bairn and can help against a fast burn deck.

Once the Ascension is running you can tutor a Stylus or two and Shared Fate. From there the world is your playground. Everything is fair game including your own deck if you wish thanks to Archmage Ascension. Your opponent(s) shouldn't be able to keep much on the board once they have to draw from your deck thanks to the Stylus.

Death Wish expands the tutor pool to the sideboard and should effectively provide "seven" Ascensions, Soul Echos and Bairns. As well as a little something special if the situation should call for it.

Deck discussion for Controlling Tutor

I'm not positive about the land balance. The fixers can really slow it down if they are all I draw at the start but that shouldn't be super common. Once other land is on the field the fixers also produce color so I think they will work.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions on the side board would be welcome, seeing as how it is a second and unexpected tutor pool it seems like a good place to handle special cases.
