Episode Eighty-Six: Boat Brew

Published: Aug. 9, 2022, 4 p.m.

This week's deck has a reputation.  Specifically, a bad one.  More specifically, one of the worst decks that has been played at a Pro Tour.  Looking at the decklist, that totally makes sense.  Putting playsets of both Mind Stone and Figure of Destiny in the main is almost an anti-combo.  Playing Windbrisk Heights and only nine creatures that cost less than three mana doesn't exactly scream synergy.

However, it fit a specific niche.  Reveillark is more than good enough to carry an entire archetype, and Ajani Vengeant never had a better home.  From the mind of Brian Kowal (and the Magic Cruise) comes Boat Brew!
