Raphaël Caron's Brewing Ideas

This one is pretty good with the Eye as well.

Cool interaction!

Another tool for the Unnatural Selection deck?

Hand to Hand allows you to cast cards with flash without worrying about an opponent interfering!

Or should it be used in Reanimator to protect your fatties from Swords to Plowshares?

Is it loading one creature with cheap "draw a card" auras?

What's the best thing you can do with Scarab of the Unseen?

Cards I'm considering to play along those creatures:

My next new brew:

I said Finals but it's really Top 8!

My Blasts deck has been voted in for the Spice Paradise Season 2 finals! I'll be facing @elendrile.bsky.social 's amazing Dragonstorm deck first!

Clearly C.

Always a pleasure Phil! You're the best ambassador!

Got interviewed by @mtgbanding.com about Parfait in Premodern and my brewing process, among other things. Subscribe to that newsletter asap!👌

I'm not done with Sanctuaries! One way to make Samite Sanctuary one-sided is to play basilisk-like creatures: with enough mana, you'll save your own creatures and your opponent won't have the same option.

Big fan of Oath of Ghouls in this!

Yep, it's Vodalian Zombie, not Llanowar. My bad.

So that leaves us with the infamous Ana Sanctuary. Sadly, Llanowar Zombie is a nonbo with it. There are some interesting cards to consider though. What about a hard-to-block ub deck with a green splash for Naturalize and the Sanctuary?

It's hard to argue against Sterling Grove as the best Necra Sanctuary companion, but I guess you could build an Enchantress variant or even an aggro deck using good bears like Victual Sliver and Llanowar Knight.

Is there a Madness build that could use Ceta Sanctuary and cards like Meteor Storm or Stormbind as discard/value outlets?

I was looking for something that could take advantage of the lifegain, but the zombie could fit in for sure.

Let's try to find other great pairings for Sanctuaries...

Soon!

Plus this?

These should see more play... together!

For decks running Nether Spirit that would like to play more creatures, may I suggest Cyclopean Mummy?

Is it time to build Phasing Flag?

Lots of options in red. Do you know Scalding Salamander?

Is Engineered Plague a maindeck card? If you're on BR, you might want to consider Mogg Infestation, a card that turns hard-to-deal-with creatures into 1/1s.
