Tempo DECKS

In the wacky world of Magic: The Gathering, there exists an archetype that dances to the beat of its own drum – quite literally! Behold, Tempo decks, where timing is everything, and your opponents are left scratching their heads as they try to keep up with your cunning maneuvers. 

​

Picture this: you're playing your favorite Old School deck, and you drop a couple of mischievous creatures like Savannah Lions or Serendib Efreet onto the battlefield. Suddenly, it's like you're hosting a rave party, and your opponent wasn't invited! With a gleam in your eye, you start flipping cards like it's a Vegas magic show, countering spells, and bouncing their creatures back to their hand faster than they can say "Abracadabra!" It's a ballet of bafflement, a waltz of wackiness, and your opponent is left wondering if they accidentally wandered into a madhouse.

​

But here's the kicker – Tempo decks aren't just about confusion; it's about pure, unadulterated fun. It's like playing a game of musical chairs with your opponent's sanity. So, next time you're diving into a match, give Tempo a whirl and watch as your foes struggle to keep up with the offbeat symphony of spells and shenanigans. It's the kind of Magic that'll leave you and your friends laughing, scratching your heads, and wondering if you've stumbled into a Monty Python sketch. Just remember to keep your sense of humor handy, because with Tempo decks, the laughs are as unpredictable as the cards themselves!

I was looking for a Swedish Old School Deck that had a decent matchup vs. the deck and also fit my preferred play style (tempo).  [...]

MONKEYBALLS

(Kyril Dubson-Remillard)

I created this deck when I first started playing OS. In fact, it’s the only deck I consider to have ‘created’, other decks were just meta variations on established archetypes.  [...]

SINDBAD

(Martin Birket-Smith)

This is a highly synergistic deck that revolves around the Sylvan Library + Sindbad engine. Very few spells draw cards in Oldschool and this deck plays two of them. Your primary game plan is to stabilize around these cards with Mazes, Counterspells, Factories and Pendelhaven blockers.  [...]
