Five With Flores

Basically Shaheen Soorani’s deck… But with more Sphinx of Lost Truths

Just another super quick post for now.

Though I will get up a report — such that it is / will be — on States (probably later in the week).

I was working on Top Decks tonight, which features the Shaheen Soorani U/W deck (U/W from Shaheen… go figure). Evan Erwin shipped the deck to me before States but I kind of dismissed it due to hating Islands in this format. However in order to write a halfway intelligible article I played Shaheen’s deck about five matches in the Tournament Practice Room… won them all easily (though for some reason no one gamed with Jund).

Does anyone know the Jund matchup for this deck?

I am considering playing it at the Philly 5K this weekend.

Anyway, here is “my” version… With Sphinx of Lost Truths. I generally dislike Sphinx of Jwar Isle due to its being expensive and crappy. The other Sphinx is more mana efficient and also fits better in the theme of progressive card advantage. I also cut the Cancels from the sideboard due to their, you know, also being crappy.
