COMMENTS
Stuffy Doll is the ultimate end-game, especially when paired with Guilty Conscience. The safest way to set up a “Still Had All Deez” play is to silence them first, so you know you are safe. The mixture of win conditions makes it impossible for the opponent to play around all of them. Daru Spiritualist is at its best when you have other clerics in play for it to protect.

The manabase is fairly self-explanatory, though I realize I am in the minority by trimming Quicksands. Let’s be realistic, we can’t just play all colorless lands! Starlit Sanctum lets us sacrifice our Clerics for added value. Quicksand gives us more defense for free. Plains gives us a great way to Nomads on turn one.

The sideboard is fifteen different cards because I am friends with Hall of Famer, Gabriel Nassif. Nassif (or Yellow Hat, as he is affectionately referred) collaborated with myself and Hall of Fame hopeful Mark Herberholz to invent the Dragonstorm archetype and take multiple spots in the top eight of the World Championships. He is also addicted to mising and I can’t say I blame him! Getting value from this technique is detailed in the ultimate Magic: the Gathering strategy guide, Next Level Magic.
