So this is one of my first attempts at trying to play a stax build without access to black or white. In doing so, I have cut out a lot of the better cards I have come to rely on when building a stax deck.
This deck aims to use Orb effects to lock up the board state, while gaining card advantage through draw power and cascade effects. Maelstrom Wanderer or Intet, the Dreamer both could probably work as the general, and probably will both be tested out in play testing.
Any help or ideas on how to go with this would be great. I figure I will at least give RUG stax a try, as I can always return to another color scheme if it does not work out.
