I think it’s unusual for the “new set constructed” Midweek Magic event to start the same day as the set comes out. If you want to play in the event without spending a lot, here’s a mono-blue flash deck I threw together that (a) uses no rares and (b) uses a lot of cards you might already have from earlier sets. I obviously haven’t tested it. Might be terrible.
4 Opt
3 Unsummon
4 Spectral Sailor
4 Brineborn Cutthroat
2 Essence Scatter
2 Negate
3 Into the Roil
3 Think Twice
4 Faebloom Trick
2 Cancel
4 Refute
3 Tolarian Terror
2 Demolition Field
20 IslandIf you luck into opening any, I would slip in Sphinx of Forgotten Lore or Voracious Greatshark in place of Tolarian Terror, and Crawling Barrens or Soulstone Sanctuary in place of Demolition Field.
I went 3-0 with this deck and every win was because the opponent gave up early. If they could have seen the junk in my hand they probably would have played on.
Then I took a powered-up version of it into the ranked queue and did not do as well. I think Standard is way too fast for this kind of thing these days.
Thanks Evu! I love this
