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

Tap to do 1 damage...and cause havoc!

How to Play

All the enchantments do good things, but Pemmin's Aura allows rapid tapping , and when there are other enchantments on the same guy, you can cause some real trouble. The only drawback is that it can be very boring for your opponent.

Deck discussion for Timmy Control

I'm a little curious as to the quietus spike in this deck, none of the creatures want to attack. Infact all they want to do is kill your opponent... I'd suggest Grafted Exoskelton... it gives infect instead of deathtouch...

I play with some friends who have a habit of gaining life rapidly, so the secondary ability of the spike halves their life. But the first ability is the important part, the Deathtouch allows the guys to do one damage and destroy any creature that isn't indestructible.
I will look into the Exoskeleton.

Maybe Meekstone instead of Ensnaring Bridge so you aren't reliant on an empty hand for defense? Both have weaknesses though. Dissipation Field would work well for defense also, with the added bonus of working on things beyond creatures.

Fledgling Mawcor gives you a 2/2 with flying with a Timmy ability for just one more mana than the rest. There may be situations where that would be worthwhile, but like the Meekstone I'm not sure this is it. Just a thought.

Backfire seems the odd man out here. I personally would just replace it with something like Control Magic or spell counters, and if you're going to play with Peek maybe just play with Telepathy instead. You lose the draw-a-card potion but it's always up.

Meekstone is a good option, I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. Usually by the time I can have an out of control draw function from curiosity (thus making the bridge worthless) I completely control the board. (as in control/destroy every other creature that isn't mine)

I've never seen the Mawcor before, but it really works. I could even morph it over 2 turns if having mana problems and it wouldn't cost more than the other timmy's.

Backfire, like the Bridge, is just to buy time. It also serves to turn attention to someone else in a multiplayer game. It isn't uncommon for a 20+/20+ to pop up in our games, this just ensures mutual destruction in those cases.

I only put peek in there for a cheap draw function to begin with! Any suggestions for a better cheap draw function?

Most of the Tim-like blue critters are buried somewhere in this Timmy EDH deck I'm working on if you're looking for other ideas: http://www.mtgvault.com/doctorhydrogen/decks/nivmizzet-dracogenius-edh/

Draw functions you could add Ophidian Eye I guess, though there's a lot of overlap there with Curiosity.

Psychosis Crawler (from your EDH) would DESTROY with this deck once curiosity is out, but I guess by that time the game is already decided, finishing is just a formality. If this deck didn't already work so well, I would change it to a R/U deck. There are some really good Red additions I could make. I've never tried an EDH deck. I'll look into making one of those sometime.
