Sullivan Library – Building Singleton Psychatog
While there are an abundance of potential builds to Psychatog, they all share some common traits that make them succeed. One is inevitability… if the game gets to keep going, Psychatog will win. In the old format, it would try to counter the key spells to slow the game down. Then, card drawing would take over, with the odd counterspell here or there to keep the game from getting out of control. Finally, at some point, Dr. Teeth would smack himself onto the table and win in a single brutal turn. Psychatog is so powerful, in fact, it becomes very hard to build a counter-control deck that doesn’t win with him, because he is such an efficient finisher. All Tog decks have the Tog, which allows for inevitable wins. . They all have countermagic.
And they all draw spells, digging around in their deck.
It’s that digging into the deck that makes specializing your Tog builds so reasonable.
