Tezzeret -4, Oh You're Scooping?

Bonjour! Je ne parle pas beaucoup francais, j'etudie a quatre ans. Je n'etudie pas francais a tres ans.

Don't ask me why I just went french there, I honestly don't know. I don't even think that was proper french from a spelling or a gramatical standpoint... Anyways, moving on...

Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas is a card that you better be excited for. He is an incredibly narrow planeswalker, just like his prior version, along with Nissa Revane, Koth of the Hammer, and Venser the Sojourner to a degree. Those guys are nuts when they work, but suck when they don't. Nissa suffers from this the least, because she tutors every turn, but she still places some serious restrictions on your deck if you want to include her. Obviously, Tezzeret AoB must be played in a very heavy artifact deck to function (the absolute minimum being 12 because 60/5 = 12), but we're in the middle of the artifact block so this won't be a problem. I already posted Mark's control deck (and my aggro deck was bad and I will update that soon), so I want to bring out the combo side of Tezzeret. Obviously not as good as Tezzeret the Seeker in terms of finding combo pieces, you can still fetch 5 deep every turn for that 1 card you're missing. Here's the list:

4x Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas

4x Leaden Myr
4x Silver Myr
4x Myr Galvanizer
4x Steel Overseer
4x Perilous Myr
4x Shimmer Myr
2x Myr Battlesphere

4x Myr Turbine
2x Preordain

2x Mox Opal
2x Swamp
2x Island
4x Tectonic Edge
3x Dread Statuary
4x Darkslick Shores
4x Drowned Catacombs
3x Creeping Tar Pit

This is a Tezzeret list at its finest. There are 32 targets for Venser every time he goes +1, so you have an average of 2.6 artifacts to choose from. Your key artifact to make the deck combo off is Myr Turbine. After the Turbine, Shimmer Myr is nice to make your opponent second guess every play they make. How do we combo off? If we have 5 Myr in play and the Myr Turbine, we can tap those Myr to grab Myr Battlesphere, which puts another 4 token Mr into play. If we have Tezzeret at 4 or more, we can -4 him for lethal. 5 Myr + Myr Turbine + Myr Battlesphere + 4 tokens = 11 artifacts, so Tezzeret hits them for 22. If you don't have Tezzeret in play, you still have Myr Battlesphere, which is a beating (and you can fetch another one whenever you want), and if that doesn't work we have Steel Overseer and Myr Galvanizer to make all our mana myr hit for 3 or more. The only thing this deck is missing is resiliancy against Day of Judgement. With Tezzeret you can draw 2 cards a turn to refill the board, and you can use Myr Turbine to make tons of tokens, but in the sideboard I may consider putting in Spell Pierce or Mana Leak. Against a beatdown deck I should be fine unless they are packing Bolts and Blades, although I feel Go for the Throat (still awkward to say) is going to be the industry standard.

Speaking of Go for the Throat, how about re-inventing the Abyssal Persecutor deck? Now we have Consuming Vapors, Go For the Throat, Black Sun's Zenith, and Jace TMS as cards to eliminate the Persecutor. Even without big Jace, we could have some Corrupt shenanigans going on for our mono-black bash face deck. How about this?

4x Abyssal Persecutor
4x Gatekeeper of Malakir
4x Skinrender
3x Grave Titan

4x Go for the Throat
4x Consuming Vapors
4x Inquisition of Kozelik
3x Corrupt
4x Sign in Blood
2x Mind Sludge

24x Swamp

We have Gatekeeper and Skinrender to punish Aggro decks bad, and we have Inquisition and Mind Sludge to wreck the control decks, and we have 15 ways to get rid of our Persecutor (including Gatekeeper).

These 2 decks are both those that I esentially have completed! For the Myr deck, I need 2 Shimmer Myr and 3 Tezzeret. For BDW (black deck wins) I need 1 Persecutor, 1 Consuming Vapors, 1 Grave Titan, and 3 Go for the Throat.

That is all for today, until next time, stay classy!
