My Magic : The Gathering champion deck

in magic •  7 years ago

Aside from Steemit and Tarot Readings, I spend most of my remaining time playing Magic:The Gathering.
@kommienezuspadt and @vermillionfox are my main Magic rivals. We are endlessly creating new decks to crush each other.
I have made more than 30 decks, but I have one champion, Saheeli Rai.

My Saheeli deck plays well against most styles of decks.
It's been my most consistent winner since I made it, not long after the release of the Kaladesh set.
This deck is one of the reasons @kommienezuspadt spends so much money on magic cards:)

Because of it's eternal champion quality, I call it my 'Ric Flair' deck. It's also my litmus test for other decks I make. If it can hang with Saheeli Rai, it's a deck I can use.

"To be the man, whoooooooooo! You gotta beat the man."

On the weekend of the Kaladesh release, I bought a Fat Pack(10 booster packs)
I was so excited when I pulled a Saheeli Rai Planeswalker, and even more so since it was a new Planeswalker that I'd never heard of. From the same Fat Pack, I also pulled a Combustible Gearhulk and an Ovalchase Dragster.

The Gearhulk allows me to draw 3 cards, or do 3 cards worth of converted mana damage to an opponent.(always @kommienezuspadt)
It's also a 6/6 with first strike, which is hard to deal with.

It's a foil:D

The Ovalchase Dragster is a suicide vehicle that does 6 trample damage on turn 4. I always make the race and crash sound effect when I attack:)

To make things more difficult, I have Padeem, Consul of Innovation to give my artifacts hexproof.

I need this when @vermillionfox tries to blow my artifacts up with By Force.(an awful spell that destroys X number of artifacts)

I have a 2 cost wall to protect Saheeli, and mean little Snare Thopter with flying and haste to chip away at opponents.

Snare Thopter

Just as Ric Flair uses the Figure 4 Leglock as a finisher, my deck uses Saheeli's Artistry.

If I have a gearhulk out when I play this card, I make 2 more gearhulks and draw 6 more cards. I can also make any combo of Ovalchase Dragsters or Snare Thopters to maximize on their haste property and hammer out a win that way.

If Saheeli Rai is out, I can also make another copy of an artifact with haste. This leads to my favorite condition ever... Raining Gearhulks!
3 Combustible Gearhulks appearing in one turn is a joyous occasion, and cause for hope or despair, depending on what side you're on.

Here is my decklist:

9x Mountain
10x Island
4x Spirebluff Canal
1x Inventor's Fair

3x Saheeli Rai

Limo ridin.... haha I'm a sucker for the old WWF!

When I used to teach theater and poetry at a local school, my students made me a couple of Magic decks. I know they hooked it up with some good cards but unfortunately they never got around to teaching me 😔

There is still time!

I have to put it on my must do list haha my Lenormand reading today said it would be a lucky day, guess I got to try right? ☺️

I'm not a "Magic Man," but I'm a sucker for Rick Flair! Upvote 100% all day!

Stylin'... wooooooooo and profilin'

You killed me with that third photo! 🤣 We'll be back home tomorrow and I'll be ready to kick your butt the day after!

Saheeli and I will be waiting
