MTG Salvation

So I decided to get back into Magic and went to my first sealed event the other night. It's a league and I'm joining late, so I received a total of 9 boosters, as opposed to 6.

The pool was as follows:



So, that was the entire pool and I had a few ideas decks that could work.

1st Idea - GW Big Creature Control: Basically, I have a ton of removal in green/white (2 caught in brite/1 thopter arrest/captured by consulate etc.) and so basically just use that to slow down my opponent enough until I can start dropping big ass creatures in his face and get long-term value from Lifecrafter's Bestiary. In the end, my personal opinion is that this deck looks just a little too slow. I think it can def. win but might be a tad slow to be consistently winning.

2nd Idea - RB Beatdown: In general, I felt like my red was super strong with some awesome early, aggressive drops and some solid removal, so I was looking at what other colors in my pool could support that the best. My black pool also had some solid removal, as well as some solid beatdown evaders (2x maulfist squad/gifted aetherborn/weaponcraft enthusiast)

3rd Idea - UR Energy/Tokens: Same general idea as the RB deck but I felt like my blue pool had not as great removal but more evasion and was a little faster onto the board than my black creatures. Also, it looked like there was a lot more synergy between my Red/Blue cards than my Black/Red cards and last but not least, the curve for my UR cards looked pretty much perfect, not really needing any filler. The goal of this deck really would be to just super fast, early beatdown with flyers/tokens/powerful red guys and then finish off final points of dmg with welder automation/embraal gear-smasher or potentially even release the gremlins. This was the deck idea that I think is best and have been running with.

Here are the lists for the 3 decks I put together:

UR Energy/Tokens:



GW Big Creature Control:




BR Beatdown:



Would love to hear your thoughts on my current deck ideas and also if you think there's a color combo that I'm just totally missing, I'd love to hear that as well. Really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Thanks!

The first archetype that jumped out at me was the same as your first idea. GW +1/+1 counters with Ridgescale Tusker, Animation Module, Oath of Ajani, Fairgrounds Trumpeter, Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Lifecrafter's Bestiary. This looks like a nasty deck. You have great removal in GW too.

Unfortunately both green and white lack 2-drops. But the deck doesn't have to be slow. There are cheap artifacts to fill the curve. You don't have to run so many big creatures (cut Cowl Prowler and maybe Skyswirl Harrier). And don't play Aether Inspector because that card is terrible. Because of Fairgrounds Trumpeter and Animation Module and the odd Revolt card, you want to play the green Implements.

Felidar Guardian is a house in this deck, synergizing with 9 ETB creatures and resetting enchantment-based removal.

Animation Module synergizes with engines to add +1/+1 counters and make an army of Servos to chump block.

Maybe Aegis Automaton should be boarded for Silkweaver Elite, Prey Upon or Unbridled Growth. It's a 5th 2-drop and has incredible lategame synergy with Deadeye Harpooner, Ridgescale Tusker, and Rishkar, Peema Renegade. But it's also very slow. Unbridled Growth is great for color fixing and triggering Revolt.


The BR beatdown deck looks pretty good too. There are some premium 2-drops and 3-drops and great removal. I'd make some adjustments to your list to increase the aggressive power. Instead of playing the slower energy stuff, you can add more aggro.

Thanks to the 3 automatons, you can afford to go very low to the ground. If you get manaflooded, you have mana sinks.
