Posty's Elrond by erikcapo01

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-blue blink-combo deck helmed by Elrond, Moon-Reader. The plan is to chain enter-the-battlefield triggers through a dense flicker suite, convert that value into a three-card mana loop, and lock the table by stealing or bouncing every permanent that matters. Elrond is a three-mana draw engine-he cards you the first time you activate a creature each turn-and a seven-mana blink outlet, not a combo piece. Recasting him is cheap in one color, and Training Grounds plus Minamo, School at Water's Edge make the activated ability realistic. Primary wins are the Peregrine Drake + Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker/Displace loop dumping into Agent of Treachery or Venser, Shaper Savant, backed by incremental theft from Gilded Drake and Volatile Stormdrake. Secondary plans include overloaded Cyclonic Rift, Raise the Palisade, and grinding with Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Displacer Kitten, and Conjurer's Closet. There is no compact two-card kill and no mill-out; the deck wins by emptying boards and attacking with what it stole.
