Gameplan

The idea of shield counters and counters overall had me pretty excited so I wanted to play with Brokers Ascendancy and Falco Spara, Pactweaver.

$ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00

We're trying to make counters matter as some point we're hoping to resolve Sanctuary Warden to draw cards and beat down with our big bodies. Falco, is great as Falco will allow us to keep peeling non lands off the top and Brokers Ascendancy allows us to keep the party going. Its a lot of pieces but its also a ton of fun once it gets going!

Conclusion

The deck probably can use more removal to fight the opposing midrange decks as this deck does not play well from behind. once it falls behind, its almost over against the Obscura decks. However, the counters engine is so cooooooooooooooooool when it gets going. Try it for yourself. I don't normally ask for green decklists but if it involves Falco, I'm listening :)

Thanks for watching the content.

If you ever want a deck to be made into a video feel free to leave a like, comment, Email, and subscribe to MTGGoldfish and MTGGoldfishCommander on Youtube! I also stream on Twitch from 8pm PDT - 2am PDT Tues-Fri!
