IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?
I built this deck to punish my opponent’s mana as much as possible. I wanted to have a deck that had more controlling elements than a typical Atog deck but was also able to close games faster than a normal Shops deck because of Atog.
​
It has more artifacts than a normal Atog deck and a lower curve than a normal Shops deck.
​
MEMORIES FROM PLAYING IT?
I built and played the first version of this deck at the Winter Ball 2 where I went 12-0 in games on the day.
​
MATCHUPS?
Generally good against everything because of the quality of cards that you play. The toughest matchups are The Deck and Lion decks which are heavy on Disenchant and Divine Offering.​

​​
SIDEBOARD SUGGESTIONS?
Don't change much when sideboarding because you can't afford to water down the core of the deck. Mostly just swap out some of the weaker lock elements for cards that better address the hate that you expect your opponent to bring in against you.
