Stiflenought Tempo

Featured list~$2642LEGA SPARTANA - SECONDA TAPPA (Premodern)

Overview

"Ub Stiflenought is a blue-black tempo-combo deck that cheats out a 12/12 Phyrexian Dreadnought and stops it from sacrificing itself. Stifle and Vision Charm counter or fizzle the Dreadnought's enters-the-battlefield trigger, while Gush, Opt, and Portent dig and Counterspell, Foil, and Daze defend the threat. The black splash adds Duress for proactive disruption, Smother as removal, and Psychatog plus Lim-Dul's Vault for a resilient backup plan."

Game Plan

Drop Phyrexian Dreadnought and neutralize its sacrifice trigger with Stifle or Vision Charm, then protect the 12/12 with counters and Duress while it ends the game.
