![]() The deck can be hard to play, with subtle sequencing and deck construction choices making the difference between wins and losses. Since then, Breach combo has consistently put up numbers online, showing it is a force to be reckoned with under a good pilot! MentalMisstep proved this deck has chops going undefeated all weekend. then AnziD used Jeskai Breach to beat BryantCook's TES on the opening weekend's Legacy Showcase Challenge, steamrolling the Swiss with 1st seed and only losing in the top 8 to the MIRROR MATCH with MentalMisstep, who won the event. The Epic Storm blog said this deck was maybe cute for the Johnny player but not viable for Legacy (Haters Gonna Hate: ). ![]() ![]() On paper, that looks too flimsy to put up consistent wins against tier decks, especially when the combo bar is set by decks like B/R Reanimator, ANT and TES. Once you start going off, you go off (barring disruption).Įarly criticisms of this deck focused on the fact that it's a 3-card combo and vulnerable to a lot of hate (grave hate, storm hate, artifact hate, enchantment kill, counters, anti-mill, hexproof). You don't need to hope to chain into the right cards to win. Unlike most storm decks (ANT, TES, High Tide, Spanish Inquisition), fizzling isn't a thing. The main lines are deterministic storm kills. Want to KNOW you can go off and not worry about fizzling after casting 9 spells and wasting 10 minutes? Get off on going off at 5 life the turn before opponent would win? Sick of passing the turn with 1/1 Goblin tokens?Įnjoy explosive combo decks and sequencing around subtle stack interactions? Want a change from the usual storm decks? Like winning with no library and no cards in hand? This primer covers hopefully most of the development that took place here on TheSource.Īlways wanted to play Dredge & Storm at the same time? Before the card's release, many early brewing discussions took place on multiple platforms: Discord, Reddit, CFB, MTGGoldfish, and here on TheSource. But combined with Brain Freeze (which puts 3 cards in your GY for each spell cast) and a free reusable mana source like Lion's Eye Diamond or Lotus Petal, it creates a deterministic loop that puts your whole library into your graveyard and generates enough mana and storm to cast any of the spells you need to win!Īs soon as this interaction was discovered, combo brewers went to work. On its own it can do some cool things but is kept in check by the escape costs. as long as you have cards in graveyard to pay the escape cost. The card looks like Yawgmoth's Will for only 2 mana. Play this deck only if your play group is capable of responding fast.EDIT: Regarding naming the deck, what about "Breach Freeze"? "A Cold Day in Hell"?Įver since Underworld Breach from Theros: Beyond Death was first spoiled, players have been brewing decks to break it. ![]() This deck is overall optimal for a consistent turn 5 win con but not efficient enough for cedh level.

MulligansĪ good starting hand is the most crucial part of this deck. Play it if you enjoy combo for the win and is okay with people teaming up against you like a true boss. This is not a cedh deck but its power level is slightly higher than most casual group's liking.
