In my previous post I talked about how I had inventoried and organized all of the cards I obtained long ago and noodled the kinds of (Swedish-legal) competitive decks that I could build from my collection with minimal acquisition.

I settled on Deadguy Ale (though White Weenie and Mono-Black are options too — future posts perhaps). This is where I’m starting:

Main Deck — with proxies as placeholders for now

The first thing that probably jumped into your head is that the main deck would benefit greatly from the inclusion of a Mox Jet, a Mox Pearl and four Juzams. I agree. However, I’m taking a longer term view of this deck that has an intermediate phase v1.0.0 as shown above that works as a building block toward a v2.0.0 that has the aforementioned big game cards.

Sideboard

The sideboard is a moving target, but the cards above should do me good as a starting point.

Moving forward, I have a plan to get to v1.0.0:

Sell my Winter Factory for some funds (done)

Use those funds towards a Chaos Orb (todo)

Grab the missing Scrubland (todo)

Grab a couple copies of City of Brass (todo)

Grab another Spirit Link (maybe)

I’m hoping I can pull this off by the end of the year. Certainly I can just spend the money to do it now, but I want to try and pull this off via exchange and trade rather than just dropping some cash. There’s an element of the “thrill of the hunt” in this plan that’s too compelling to pass up.

Updates forthcoming.
