Oh yeah, and we've got the full four copies of Fblthp, the Lost to clog up the ground early and turn on Mox Amber to ramp us into our planeswalkers. The goal is to sort of soft-lock the opponent out of the game with annoying static abilities from cards like Teferi, Time Raveler, Narset, Parter of Veils, and Dovin, Hand of Control before eventually outvaluing the opponent with planeswalker activations to pick up the win. However, some War of the Spark decks are lurking beneath the surface, like today's masterpiece: Fblthp and Friends! The plan of the deck is pretty simple: it's basically a taxing, prison-y superfriends list with nine planeswalkers in the main deck and even more in the sideboard. The top decks remain Mono-Red Aggro, Esper (Control and Midrange), and Simic Nexus, with a few new War of the Spark cards thrown in. So far, War of the Spark Standard has looked a lot like Ravnica Allegiance Standard. And having the guildgate spice only makes it that much better.Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Going over the top of all the Golgari and Jeskai decks with cards like Zacama and Apex of Power is both powerful, and exciting. The format is beginning to slow down and is starting to turn into a massive midrange fest. Being able to cast Jodah, Omniscience, and Zacama all in the same turn is backbreaking and can turn around any game. There is a lot of power to be had at 7 mana and higher, and exploiting that can give you a real competitive advantage. One deck that this format is currently lacking is super-ramp. If you could choose any combination of colors, Apex of Power would be a phenomenal inclusion in this deck as being able to dig for a Zacama would be a vital part of this deck’s power. Apex of Power also disappointed, simply due to the mana that it produces being a single color instead of multiple. And when you cast Omniscience and this is your only payoff in hand, you feel kind of stupid. By the time I’d be casting a decently sized Chamber Sentry, I’d much rather be casting Omniscience. However, after some testing, I realized that in a deck that is never casting things on curve to begin with, a 5 mana 5/5 on turn 6 that can’t actually kill anything until the next turn was just too slow. Walking Ballista was one of the strongest cards during its tenure in Standard, and seeing an option that was only available for 5 colors piqued my interest. One card that I was excited to test with was Chamber Sentry. With this, Omniscience, Pelakka Wurm and more, the payoffs are certainly there if you can cast these cards. With Zacama however, you get a 9/9 body, and up to 3 very relevant effects that can completely change the flow of the game. When you spend your first few turns ramping, it is very easy to fall behind whatever your opponent might be doing. Zacama, Primal Calamity is probably one of the best spells that a super-ramp deck can cast. Fortunately, upon looking at all of the options we have above 7 mana, another card caught my eye. Omniscience is game-breakingly powerful, but it’s only as powerful as the cards in your hand. Being able to spend only 5 mana to cast anything is a very unique effect, and when the cards you are casting are as impactful as Omniscience, you know you are doing something powerful.
Almost immediately I discovered Jodah, Archmage Eternal. Knowing that I wanted to build a deck based around guildgates, I looked into what options a 5C deck could leverage. An Explosive Vegetation and a Phyrexian Arena for guildgates are really tempting to build around. The 2 cards that made me want to build with guildgates are Circuitous Route and Guild Summit. With the help of Circuitous Route and Guild Summit can a 5 color to deck built around guildgates do any good this Standard season? Let’s find out! This time their reintroduction came with a few new tools that care about guildgates. Guildgates are the budget land of choice for many deck builders, and it is great having them back in Standard. With the return of Ravnica, comes the return of guildgates. I will be streaming this deck at noon MST on Saturday, October 13th. 5C Omniscience Decklist: It’s Tuesday O’Clock! Time for a Deck Tech
