After a long day, I finally made Master with this deck, from silver to Master.
The deck tries to ramp to 8 power then play temporal Distorsion and Channel the Tempest in your opponent turn.
I don't play any creature to make every kill spell of my opponent a dead card.
I have found that New Tomorrow is ridiculously good due to the new scout lands.
When all I had in hand was a tutor I often searched the channel the tempest to hit face and draw 3, but eventually I discovered that A New Tomorrow would often be enough to find the fuel cards that I needed.
Removal
4
Lightning Storm
Bad vs control but at least removes aegis, you need 4 just to have a chance vs oni and tokens.
1
Lightning Strike Treat this as the 5th lightning storm but sometimes it can save you from weapons.
4
Vanquish I lost count of how many big legendaries I killed, sometimes is dead but Strategize helps
4
Harsh Rule Nuff said
Ramp
3
Find the Way It is good in the starter hand and many times I did celestian omen this to get from 6 to 8 power
4
Power Stone
4
Secret Pages Goes without saying, you really need to hit your power drops with this deck, and then some.
Draw:
4
Strategize Really good to dump extra distorsions or high cost cards early game, late game I found myself returning sigils to the deck to be searched again.
4
Wisdom of the Elders
2
Ancient Lore fith and sixth wisdom, I tried 4 then 0 then Elise choice in it's place but you really need a lot of draw when you have so much power avaliable.
Combo
3
Temporal Distortion is the card that enables the deck, as long as people keep forgetting to pack relics removal.
3
Celestial Omen
4
Channel the Tempest you start using this in creatures, then faces.
2
The Great Parliament The Finisher, plays three to five Owls at the end of your opponent turn.
Silver bullets:
1
Unseal I wanted a tutorable answer to Gift, I only play one, and really good in the control mirror.
1
A New Tomorrow This is crazy with the new scout land and Waystones, people are going to start using it I tell you. Paired with Temporal Distortion this card goes off the charts, this is my second answer to gift, in response to it I play this and get aegis... wicked.
1
Aid of the Hooru Probably the card that was more searched for, because it draws 4 and does everything.
Power:
3
Time Sigil
2
Justice Sigil
2
Primal Sigil
1
Cobalt Waystone I have only found place to one because you really need the basic sigils to be searched for.
1
Crest of Impulse Yes, off color, it is just that good.
1
Crest of Fury
4
Crest of Wisdom
4
Seat of Progress
4
Seat of Wisdom
4
Seat of Order
Cards that didn't make the cut:
Eilyn's Choice with all the habilities that trigger attacking this is awful, I supose even if I found more Channel decks or control matches, I would play 4 unseal over this,
Vision of Austerity would be good in the mirror ,
excavate win-more card only good late game, if I get to late game I already have the tools.
Bad Match-Ups.
Anything with weapons will be a a bit dificult.
A couple of
Dawnwalker really give you hell.
Azindel's Gift
Vision of Austerity
Any red deck with direct damage can kill you even after you stabilize.
I decided I would not play any silences or graveyard hate, in those cases I would just combo FASTER than you.
I have added the sword as an answer to weapons and some extra lifegain.
Also I ended up pitching moondial whenever I could as I never wanted my opponent to draw more
Bwahahahhahahah!!!
Harsh Rule?
- 1 Find the way
- 2 Secret Pages
- 1 Lightning Storm
- 1 Vaquish
+ 1 Lightning Strike
+ 2 Eilyn’s Choice
+ 2 The Great Parliament
This deck is lots of fun and I’ve had fun playing it. Keep up the great work.
Congratz for your Master and thanks for sharing the idea!
I hear about people running Disjunction, but I've tried a few things, and I think a mixture of Lightning Strike and Excavate (1 and 2 respectively) are the way to go. I've cut the Ancient Lores, 1 Temporal Distortion and 2 Channel the Tempest to make room for a Lumen Reclaimer, 2 Excavates, 1 The Great Parliament, and another Lightning Strike.
It fares a little better vs Aggro, and the Excavates can act as copies 3/4 of many cards (like Harsh Rule, Lightning Storm, Channel the Tempest, or my personal favorite Aid of the Hooru.)
One more thing... nothing is better than Temporal Distortion --> A New Tomorrow --> The Great Parliament. Also acceptable is Temporal Distortion --> The Great Parliament --> Excavate --> Wisdom of the Elders --> The Great Parliament
I highly recommend this deck if you're transitioning from MtG and were a control player. It's super fun to play.
Now they just need to print a Moment's Peace type card.
Don't lightning storm a oni, play power stone instead.
Maybe get couple hits from sundering titan to get to a point where you play temporal distortion and then instant channel or rule.
But rakano is bad, skycrag too I'm not gonna lie. But many times they fold to a good Storm or Hars Rule.
Strategize is OP. Like crazy OP. I valued this card highly when it was spoiled and I undersold how good this card is. If you have one in your opening hand, it just automatically moves that whole hand up a tier.
