You can get by with just the strong sweepers of Azorius Control or the cheap removal of Dimir Control, but Esper opens up Vanishing Verse as a highly flexible answer, while Duress and Ray of Enfeeblement are the best cards at their jobs and relatively easy to splash off Pathways, Forsaken Crossroads, and The Celestus. Meanwhile, Doomskar and Divine Purge clean up against creature decks like Esper Clerics or Gruul Werewolves.
TIBALT WICKED TORMENTOR FULL
Disdainful Stroke and Divide by Zero (joined by the full set of Jwari Disruption) accomplish this well, with Divide in particular remaining one of the strongest tools in blue’s arsenal. Alongside Key, the other format-defining Alchemy cards are Inquisitor Captain and Town-razer Tyrant - all must-answer cards that you’d rather deal with on the stack than the battlefield. The rest of this list is built to support Key and fight against anyone else who reached the same conclusion. Your control deck now has a proactive nut draw that can bulldoze anything but still helps you take control when you’re behind. It gives you a crucial mana advantage against other control or midrange decks as well as something useful to spend it on (when it isn’t helping to cast Turn 5 Hullbreaker Horror), and it’s impossible for an opponent to adequately prepare for everything that might emerge from its spellbook.
TIBALT WICKED TORMENTOR ARCHIVE
Key to the Archive is an obvious standout from Alchemy: Innistrad. With nothing obvious to target and no precedent to follow, identifying the strongest new cards and leaning into them as hard as possible is a good default plan.
TIBALT WICKED TORMENTOR CODE
Dom Harvey - Esper ControlĪlchemy is a totally unexplored format for now, offering a potentially massive edge to anyone who can crack the code for the Arena Open this weekend. With cards like Thundering Rebuke and Brittle Blast, dealing with bigger creatures isn’t much of a problem.Ĭard advantage, free wins, and a powerful sideboard plan are exactly what I’m looking for when selecting a deck. One of the best things about the deck is the ability to sideboard into a control deck with Conductive Current and planeswalkers. Rahilda, Wanted Cutthroat is truly impressive, plus Bloodthirsty Adversary and Voltaic Visionary allow you to win wars of attrition against cards like Inquisitor Captain. I like a more traditional Mono-Red Aggro list over the bigger Dragon-based decks because I’d rather have the early creatures. It’s an incredible card that you’d need a good reason to consider not using.
Even if they don’t stumble, the game might be over anyway. If your opponent stumbles on mana in the slightest and you have Turn 4 Tyrant, the game is probably over. That said, there’s no card that leads to more free wins in the format than Town-razer Tyrant. I like Mono-Red Aggro, but my confidence level for it being the absolute best deck isn’t 100%. Alchemy is a format that’s far from solved and had plenty of viable decks.
