Information

This deck revolves around Calderan Cradle and control spells. Most games feel like you're about to lose, then suddenly you're able to clear your opponent's threat(s) and pop out a dragon simultaneously!

Calibrates help dig for a Cradle, or fix your influence along with Petition.

Wump & Mizo generates spells, breaks aegises, and if unchecked, gets big fast.

The majority of the deck is spells, so you can get pretty consistent draw with Tundra Explorer, Torgov, Icecap Trader, your 8 Cylixes (Treasure Troves), and Wisdom of the Elders.

Clear threats with Sear, Turn to Seed, Lightning Storm, and Obliterate.

Rain of Frogs is looking for your opponent's key combo piece, or Shen-Ra Speaks, etc.

Victor's Feast fits well with Brenn, Cradle, and Torgov, and can provide a sacrificial blocker, and/or late-game giant.

Market is filled with situational answers, and Moment of Creation as a possible late-game finisher.

Enjoy! This deck is not super competitive, but I'm having fun with it.

Would Wump and Mizzo be better than Brenn? You aren't ramping to much and they Wump kicks out 1-2 free spells a turn.
TrilFi Eternal Version: 20.10.06
Ooo, good thought! The only issue might be getting the third Primal influence on curve consistently. And Wump doesn't survive Lightning Strom. But you could probably play around that. I'll try to test it out a bit!

I feel like Gleeful Firebrand is wasted here. Only 6 spells actually trigger her, and an 0/3 gets laughed off the board by literally any decent 2 drop these days. Sure you may get a decent draw with her out a few times, but I don't think it would be enough to make her worthy of a spot in this list. I myself would cut this card for market access of some sort. Removing card like Kaleb's Choice and Cirso's Choice from the main deck and putting them into the market, which in turn frees up spots for your digging spells. I would personally choose the t/p merchant since she gets the buff from the cradle, but the f/p merchant is good for your damage spells too.

On a side note have you ever considered trying the combo of Elysian Trailblazer, Nesting Avisaur, Second Sight with cradle for infinite dragons!? A bit of work to set up but pretty fun when it works.

All great ideas, thank you! I made some adjustments. I want to stay expedition legal, so I could only use the f/t merchant (for some reason)...

I haven't tried that combo. Looks fun!
