Much Abrew: Sunbird's Treasure (Standard, Magic Arena)

by SaffronOlive // Dec 31, 2018

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. This week, we have a surprise special episode of Much Abrew. Technically, the most popular Instant Deck Tech from last week was the Infinite Scepter combo deck for Modern from Fishbowl Thursday, but after a rough outing at FNM, the deck's creator suggested that we shouldn't actually play the deck for videos. The runner-up deck tech was Esper Hatebears for Standard, but we already played it on stream last week. As such, I figured that rather than playing an Instant Deck Tech deck this week, we'd play a fun deck that I really wanted to show off: Sunbird's Treasure!

You might remember this deck from the Twitch Rivals event a couple of weeks ago, but the event itself had a lot of byes, and we didn't get to play that many games with the deck. It seems super fun—maybe even one of the most fun decks in Guilds of Ravnica Standard when it works—so it seemed worth giving the deck the proper video treatment. The main plan of the deck is to use some strange Treasure token makers like Captain Lannery Storm and Pirate's Pillage to ramp into Sunbird's Invocation and then sort of combo off by using the enchantment to cast a bunch of Nexus of Fates. Eventually, we find a Niv-Mizzet, Parun with our Sunbird's Invocation and get a strange sort of storm combo kill as we take a bunch of turns in a row. Just how good is Sunbird's Treasure in Standard? Let's get to the video and find out; then, we can talk more about the deck!

Just a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Much Abrew About Nothing series and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest.
