Peasent
Here is a mono-blue peasent deck that I have
actually brought to tourneys and won against highly skilled people. Yes yes I
amaze even myself with this deck, as it has such good synergy. The Counter-poke
(counterspells/pinging) strategy is very intricate, and yet
simple...
Lands-20
19x Island
1x Cephalid Colusseum
Creatures
4x Horseshoe Crab
4x Waterfront Bouncer
4x Prodigal Sorceror
2x Thornwind Faeries
2x Faerie Squadron
2x Wind Drake
Other Spells
4x Hermetic Study
4x Accumulated Knowledge
4x Counterspell
4x Spell Blast
4x Memory Lapse
2x Seal of Removal
2x Unsummon
2x Ensnare ( The only 2 uncommons)
Total: 60 Cards
Although this deck is all common except 2 cards, it
is quite powerful. If you dont pick up any counterspell in your first hand or
first few draws, just play everything and anything to gain early control. The
Horshoe Crab, which is a 1/3 for 2U, works so well when enchanted with Hermetic
Study, basically doing one damage for each blue mana you pump into your pool,
eliminating virtually any creature. Seal of Removal is more of a bluff than a
bounce. You can use it to bounce, but usually your opponent will think it's your
only means of bounce, and they Disenchant it. Unknown to them, you
have Unsummon in your hand. If the pinging abilities of the Hermetically studied
Horseshoe Crab and Prodigal Sorceror aren't working, then you can just simply
switch to an aerial beat down. Thornwind Faeries are great for this, since they
have flying, and pinging ability, and are 1/1's only for 1UU. Waterfront
Bouncers are excellent for clearing a path thru the creatures that happen to get
in the way of your fliers. Also, one last thing...Play Ensnare at the end of the
opponenets turn, or when they attack, this totally ruins them, it's a
bomb!
