Daily Digest: How To Blow Up The World

#SCGWOR is just a few days away, and if the shifts in the Modern metagame are any indication, there could be a few surprises at the top tables at the $5,000 Premier IQ! Don’t be surprised to see this one up front!

During the Dallas Modern Premier IQ I saw someone making a pretty deep run with Restore Balance. Today’s deck looked different, but they’re both trying to do the same thing: blow everything up.

This deck can only cascade into Restore Balance, and breaks the symmetry of the effect by using creatures with suspend and Greater Gargadon to sacrifice all of your lands, which will then blow up all their lands. At that point, you should have some beaters ready to come in off suspend while your opponent is crippled.

After sideboard against Burn is hilarious since you can side out all of your Restore Balances for Kor Firewalkers and always cascade into them. In a sense, you become an entirely different combo deck, one that is incredibly potent against them as well. To add insult to injury, you even have a full set of Leyline of Sanctities.
