Combrei Research

This is a deck I’ve been having fun with. It’s primarily built around Perilous Research. It plays like a control deck, ramping and then using a board sweep to transition to the late game. You then flood the board with scarabs or owls over and over to overwhelm spot removal or outlast board sweeps. Svetya’s Sanctum is used as a supplementary threat. Unlike in Hooru control lists, you don’t have as many spells and they don’t all draw cards so this isn’t your main win-con. Siraf, Grand Strategist is another win-con and power dump in the late game. She should only be played early against aggro, otherwise she should be played when you have the power to immediately activate her. Most of the deck is pretty straightforward though. Tons of relics to ramp, any spell that Combrei can get its hands on to remove threats or draw, and then Perilous Research does most of the heaving lifting.

Anyways, the deck is fun, weak to aggro, great against midrange and control, weak to combo decks with few ways to break certain combos. I also want to do the responsible thing and warn anyone looking to spend dust on this deck that I have not playtested this list in anything above diamond 2.
