Today, my metagame is a constantly-evolving animal. There's not much else to put in history - the deck is still in alpha phases. Taking inspiration from fast, spell-based decks like Moxnix's Jeleva Storm, I designed Sidisi Ad Naus, with the idea being to quickly cast Sidisi and tutor for my one-card combo. However, what I really wanted was a deck that could *tutor* its combo, kind of like Arcum Dagsson or Yisan. I knew dedicated Ad Nausem was possible in this format I had seen Zur lists doing that, and even bad Maralen decks posted on SCG.com.

I wanted to build something too, something not-seen-before in my meta. However, several other members of my meta had second decks, and I was jealous. This deck was and continues to be very successful even in my competitive metagame. It was the best deck in my meta when we first really started wanting to compete, though we were still unevolved compared to where we are today.Įventually I built a killer Jarad combo deck, which became semi-well known on this forum and reddit. After a couple years of stagnation, my meta started to really evolve as I made friends in early high school. Including ways to give Hidetsugu lifelink or other shenanigans was the beginning of my career as a brewer.


It eventually evolved into a casual Heartless Hidetsugu deck which I began to really tune. At the time I didn’t even really realize it was considered a dickish thing to do - I just had four or five LD spells and started working from there. My first EDH deck was a terrible, terrible Eron the Relentless deck, focusing on land-destruction. I started playing Magic when I was about seven, and EDH when I was about ten. Before we begin, I'd like to talk a little bit about myself and my history in magic, and the deck's history.
