Hey everyone,

I’m considering playing Trix. I really enjoy combo decks, and I already own most of the blue cards, so this deck caught my attention.

It looks very consistent to me, but I’m wondering why it doesn’t see more play in the current meta. Is there something specific holding it back? Bad matchups? Too much hate? Is it just worse than other combo options?

Do you think the deck can still put up good results, or is it more of a fun/off-meta choice at this point?

Hey guys,

I’m currently playing UG Stasis with Root Maze, and I’m trying to improve my plan against:

Regular Stasis
Oath Stasis

What’s usually the best strategy and sideboard plan for these matchups?

I've been brewing a weird take on Premodern Blue Skies and wanted some feedback from more experienced pilots of the archetype.

Traditional Blue Skies lists with Winter Orb never seemed to put up huge results consistently, so I started wondering if the missing piece was a better way to break Orb symmetry.

The idea here is using Forsaken City + Root Maze together with the usual free spell package (Daze / Gush / Foil) to create constant mana pressure while still developing evasive threats.

Current list:

4 Cloud of Faeries
4 Cloud Sprite
4 Spiketail Hatchling
4 Cloudskate

3 Curiosity
3 Unstable Mutation
4 Winter Orb
2 Root Maze

4 Daze
4 Counterspell
2 Foil
4 Gush
2 Snap

12 Island
4 Forsaken City

The deck is not trying to be full Stasis prison. It's more like a tempo deck that creates awkward mana development over several turns until Orb becomes oppressive.

Some thoughts/questions I currently have:

• Is Root Maze actually good here, or just "cute"?
• Is Forsaken City enough to justify the green splash?
• Is 4 Winter Orb correct if Orb is the actual engine of the deck?
• Is Foil worth it here or too clunky even with Gush?
• Should Snap be a 4-of in this shell?
• Are there better evasive threats for this strategy?
• Is this just a worse Blue Skies, or does the Orb/Maze package create a genuinely different archetype?

I know this is probably still rogue/tier 3 territory, but I'm trying to push the archetype as far as possible rather than just building a standard Blue Skies list.

Would love to hear thoughts from people who've played Blue Skies, Stasis, Prison or Tempo shells in Premodern.

Fala pessoal, beleza?

Tirei minha CNH dia 10/04/25 e ela venceu dia 09 agora. Moro em Olaria e gostaria de saber qual o local mais próximo posso ir pra renovar ela, quanto custa e o que preciso levar.

Valeu galera.
