total cards in deck that could be considered a "win condition": 6
4x wandering empurror
1x chromehost seedshark
1x jace, purrfected mind
i'll draw them eventually. i've got time :)
i just won like a 45 minute control mirror using jace to mill them down to 7 cards in deck and leave them with no real options to fight back
theres a bunch of crazy cards in this that are gonna rotate at the end of the year and i wanna get all the value i can out of them while theyre around
between jace, the empurror, the shark, and the punch lands, this deck has four diffurent ways to kill the opponent, and they often require diffurent answers, and theyre all powerful enough individually they dont need to all work together. a lot of games that ive won, they successfully answered 2 or 3 of those then the last one killed them
and with the sheer power of the kamigawa legendary lands and the ixalan punch lands, i can afford to run a juicy 26 land manabase. i could go as high as 27 if i had a few copies of mirrex
another benefit of this deck: it's confusing and demoralizing to play against, so people furequently concede before i've actually figured out how i'm going to win!
many such cases (opponent didnt read my lands; conceded after this)
i bit a tournyament player's list then adapted it both fur what i could afford to craft and what made sense in a BO1 furmat. theres ways i could upgrade this but all of them would need additional rares. ive played like a dozen nightmare control mirrors and its been a blast
