From Friday Night Magic to the Pro Tour, Adam Prosak loves all types of tournament Magic. Currently, Adam is working in R&D as a developer.
Khans of Tarkir is coming! Three-color wedges are about to make their way into Standard and every other Constructed format, but by no means will they be new to tournament Magic. Today and last week we looked at Pro Tour-winning decks that have been based in one of the wedge clans from Khans of Tarkir.
Today's Deck is from Hall of Famer Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa, and is his winning deck from Pro Tour San Juan. Playing Zendikar Block Constructed, Paulo's deck combined the best cards each color had to offer to become the first player to win a Pro Tour after losing his first two matches.
The backbone of the deck comes from its mana acceleration. Lotus Cobra, Explore, and Oracle of Mul Daya make it easy to quickly put lots of lands into play. This makes Avenger of Zendikar an incredible threat, and it can easily provide a lethal attack in one turn cycle. Red provides some efficient removal to help buy you enough time to develop lands (and kill opposing Cobras and Oracles!). Blue? How about Jace, the Mind Sculptor? That seems like a great reason to play blue by itself.
