Overview:

This UB Faerie tribal deck leverages Obyra, Dreaming Duelist's life-drain triggers while packing multiple infinite combos for explosive wins. The strategy balances evasive Faerie synergies with efficient mana-cheating and flicker loops to pressure opponents through incremental damage or sudden combo victories.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
Deploy evasive Faeries early to chip damage via Obyra triggers while disrupting opponents with counterspells. Transition into infinite mana/damage combos using:

1. Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal with 2+ mana rocks (e.g., Sol Ring)
2. Cloudstone Curio + Peregrine Drake + 1-mana Faerie for infinite ETBs/mana
3. Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake for infinite mana
   Convert these into wins via mass Faerie generation (Archmage of Echoes), infinite Obyra triggers, or Notorious Throng extra turns.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3 lands, 1-2 mana rocks, and early interaction (Spellstutter Sprite/Counterspell)
• Prioritize combo enablers (Tribute Mage, Wishclaw Talisman) in slower metas
• Reject hands lacking early Faeries or ramp

Key Tips:

• Use March of Swirling Mist to protect combo pieces during critical turns
• Chain Frantic Search/High Tide for explosive mana turns
• Kindred Discovery turns every Faerie into a cantrip engine
• Tutor prioritization: Fetch Cloudstone Curio > Isochron Scepter > protection

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Dies to graveyard hate (Rest in Peace breaks Cloudstone Curio/Peregrine loops)
• Fragile combo pieces vulnerable to artifact removal

Moderate

• Limited board wipe recovery (most Faeries have ≤2 toughness)
• No stax-breaking for Rule of Law effects

Minor

• Slow mana base (8 ETB-tapped lands)
• Minimal life gain against aggressive decks

Most Important Cards:

• Cloudstone Curio
• Peregrine Drake
• Isochron Scepter
• Dramatic Reversal
• Deadeye Navigator
• Kindred Discovery
• Archmage of Echoes
• Profane Tutor
• Wishclaw Talisman
• Tribute Mage

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10
Can assemble T5-6 infinite mana with optimal draws but requires setup turns for Faerie synergy.

Resilience: 5/10
Limited free protection outside March of Swirling Mist; combos fold to 1-2 well-timed removals.

Consistency: 6/10
7 tutors (including transmute) and strong draw engines, but some combo pieces lack redundancy.

Interaction: 7/10
14 counterspells/bounce effects with flash Faeries enabling instant-speed responses.

Rating Justification:

The deck operates at high-powered casual levels with cEDH-adjacent combo potential but lacks the free interaction and compact wincons of top-tier lists.

Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
