Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"As an Ex-Brago player, I know just how annoying it can be to play against a blink deck; I have had many players get extremely salty as I play solitaire with my deck... But that doesn't do it for this deck. Not only is the wincon an infinite combo, the combo revolves around infinitely blinking a card like Sphinyx of Uthuun so that while I do draw my deck, it takes forever and my opponents are forced to pay attention as they have to separate the cards I draw. To add insult to injury, Thassa's Oracle is the main way to win from there, with a flashed back Unburial Rites or something of the sort.\n\nThis deck contains countless infinite blink combos, and it is easy to put together a win, especially with tutors. I won't explain all of them, but one of the simplest is Naru Meha with Sphinyx and Ghostly Flicker. This is quite mana intensive though, so there are also plenty of infinite mana combos as well, such as Deadeye Navigator and Peregrine Drake.\n\nIn addition to the salty wincon, the deck has plenty of free interaction to either protect your combo or make your opponents miserable with countering all of their cards with a repeatedly blinked Archaeomancer. One of my favorite Brago cards of old is Reality Acid, which when infinitely blinked will reset everyone's board but your own.\n\nI changed the card versions of certain cards to make the deck feel mismatched to annoy people even more, and there are plenty of white and gold-bordered cards as well...\n\nFinally, just to make the win so drawn out, the deck has minimal card draw, just enough to consistently find the combos, so that the Sphinyx or similar creature has to be blinked more to get though the whole deck.\n\nIf you have any questions about card choices or combos, feel free to comment down below!\n"}]}
