Overview:
This is a Flash-based control deck that leverages card advantage and tempo plays during opponents' turns, with multiple combo lines including Thassa's Oracle wins and infinite mana combinations. The deck operates at instant speed with high interaction and multiple tutors for consistency.
Primer:
The deck's primary gameplan revolves around utilizing Nymris, Oona's Trickster's ability to generate card advantage by casting spells during opponents' turns. The commander provides both card selection and fills the graveyard, enabling various lines of play. The deck runs a significant suite of interaction to control the game while assembling one of several win conditions.
The main win conditions include Thassa's Oracle with Tainted Pact, infinite mana combos using Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter, and Deadeye Navigator combinations. The deck can also generate value through its Faerie tribal subtheme, though this is secondary to the combo finish. The high density of instant-speed interaction allows the deck to protect its combos while disrupting opponents' strategies.
Weaknesses:
- Heavily reliant on having cards in hand, making wheel effects and targeted discard particularly effective
- Vulnerable to graveyard hate, which can shut down several recursion-based lines
- Can struggle against aggressive strategies that deploy multiple threats before interaction comes online
- Relatively low creature count makes it vulnerable to board-based pressure if key pieces are removed
Most Important Cards:
- Thassa's Oracle
- Isochron Scepter
- Dramatic Reversal
- Necropotence
- Demonic Tutor
- Vampiric Tutor
- Tainted Pact
- Rhystic Study
- Mystic Remora
- Dark Ritual
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 8/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 8/10
- Interaction: 9/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a high competitive level with multiple efficient win conditions and strong protection. While it doesn't consistently threaten turn 2-3 wins like top-tier cEDH decks, it can establish strong control positions early and protect its win conditions effectively. The combination of tutors, card advantage, and interaction places it firmly in the high-powered competitive range, though just below top-tier cEDH decks.
Final power level rating: 8.5 - 9.0
The deck demonstrates the hallmarks of a cEDH-viable strategy with its efficient mana base, multiple compact win conditions, and high density of interaction. While it may not be as explosively fast as some tier 1 cEDH decks, its ability to control the game and protect its win conditions while generating card advantage makes it a strong competitor in high-powered pods.
