Deck Description



- W/U Standard Deck built to counter a friend's fast/agro mono-black zombie token/death barron deck
- Central Focus of deck: generate small tokens for lifegain and beefing up Ajani's Pridemates, then turn Pridemates unblockable with Herald of Secret Streams or Suspicious Bookcase
- Cheap artifacts for lifegain, mana ramp and thopter generation
- Creature removal with Transmogrifying Wand (essential vs Death Barron/Diregraf Colossus) / Deputy of Detention (zombie token sweeper)
- Generate thopters with Sai, Master Thopterist / Tezzeret, Artifice Master / Dovin, Grand Arbiter
- Lifegain with Foutain of Renewal / Ajani's Welcome / Healer's Hawk / Dovin / Absorb
- Minor card draw with Treaseure Map / Curious Obsession / Tezzeret / Skyscanner

Trying to make my deck more consistent / less brittle vs a fast mono-black zombie token deck. Any advice for staying alive until i can get my thopter/lifegain factory going? I'm not looking for a competition ready deck, just some casual tips :)

How to Play

- set up early lifegain to support pridemates
- if Sai in opening hand try to hold off artifact drops until he's out first
- about turn 3/4 try to hold enough mana for Absorb, slow opponent down
- curious obsession goes on hard-to-hit fliers, otherwise thopters are chump blockers; expendable

I would consider adding 4x of Karn, the Great Creator and Ugin the Ineffable, then you can move most of your artifact package to the sideboard and play sweepers and have more card draw.
