Free-To-Play Fish: Budget Mono-Blue (Standard, Magic Arena)


Welcome back to another episode of Free To Play Fish!

This week we're gonna take the Mono Blue menace into the ladder and see how we do! We've seen how well this deck can do especially when this archetype took down the Twitch Rivals event! The game plan is to stick Curious Obsession onto any of our small evasive threats and then protect it for the rest of the game with cards like Dive Down and counterspells!

Budget Mono Blue:


Where I'd Like The Deck To Go:
 

Cards to look for in opening hands:

$ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00

 

Conclusion

The deck got us another 7-0 record!! The cards in your opening hands are mostly interchangable with any other one drops in the deck like Siren Stormtamer and some form of protection depending on the match up. If you think its a sweeper heavy kind of control deck, I would try to find Spell Pierce and Wizard's Retort. If it's more of a spot removal style of opponent then Dive Down is perfect. Deck is a blast and it's so cheap to craft and build that I would highly recommend this as one of the decks to grind the queues with to acquire wildcards and gold.
