They Saw Vraska. They Didn’t See Magda Coming. | cEDH Deck Tech

From the top down, this looks familiar.

Jeskai colors, a pile of interaction, Breach, the usual collection of cards that make people ask whether blue was a mistake.

You can see the Ragashie family resemblance.

You know I love Ragashie, so there's no getting away from that.

But the way I'm playing this list is much closer to control farm.

We establish a draw engine early, keep the table honest, and use Vraska to make our participation profitable.

We're not trying to win the drag race against a turbo deck.

That guy removed the passenger seat to save weight.

We brought snacks and a pension plan.

Vraska costs a blue, a red, and a white.

Three mana isn't expensive in ordinary human society.

In CDH, however, three specific colors and no immediate card back is apparently a mortgage.

When we cast a non-creature spell, she makes a one-one sculpture treasure artifact creature.

The trigger happens on cast, so countering our spell doesn't automatically take away the treasure.

But here's the catch.

Those treasures are creatures.

Their mana ability needs them to tap.

Without help, a fresh sculpture cannot immediately pay for the next spell.

Vraska gives artifact creatures vigilance.

Lovely.

Now they can walk to work without getting tired.

They still can't clock in.

So without a haste or replacement effect, we play the longer game.

We cast interaction during our opponent's turns.

We accumulate sculptures.
