M:tG Arena Explorer: Drawing Cards? Big mistake, opponents! Mardu Draw, Die!
These days across multiple formats of M:tG, everyone's always trying to draw tons of cards. What, with all of the beanstalks sprouting up all over the place, it's getting a little ridiculous. In this deck, we try to turn card draw against out opponents by pinging them for every cardboard rectangle they snatch off the top of their library. The best way to do this is, surprise surprise, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. If Shelly sits on the battle field, she just wins games. We've all observed this. Underworld Dreams accelerates the clock with additional pings! Stormfist Crusader is a sweet 2 evasive 2 drop that draws cards for us and our opponent while also pinging in the process! With the huge targets these cards have on them, we are going to need protection. That's why we're packing full playsets of Skrelv and Surge of Salvation. We're not giving up our Sheleys without a fight. Combined with all of the interaction you expect from Mardu colors, this becomes a neat prison style deck that can win some games! I have really enjoyed playing and iterating on this deck! It's real janky fun!
