Bazaar Control! 2018
-
I like this deck! Drawing more cards than your opponent is always fun.
I wonder, could you cut one of the Squee's? Since you have Intuitions to find them. Also, the sideboard seems soft against Dredge, are the Surgical's enough?
-
Yeah hmm.
Well Ive tried more or less squees with the same idea, and also more or less bazaars. But actually you often end up bazaaring or Faydening to find squees, its good to have 4 you do want them. You'll see when you play the deck. Also opponents will counter intuition when they know your deck.
Yeah a little soft vs dredge, you wanna hold them off with waste+strip til you get jace+´surgery combo going. If you have a lot of dredge in your area you can change it for meta of course as anything.

Small detail update:
Maindeck
+1 volcanic island
-1 mana crypt
-1 ancient grudge
+1 punishing firesb +1 Stony silence
This is because you want those lands for life from the loam!
Really like ancient grudge but gotta cut something
-
And another final update, 1 more land basically for -1 punishing fire, to get loam working and that precious white for stony silence:

(Testing SB +3 Krosan Grip,
Krosan grip helps vs leyline of the void, oath, yawgmoth's bargain etc, rest in peace but also vs Ravager/Ballista that cant activate.)Grip takes care of sensei top too! Krosan destroys tormod's crypts and nihil spellbombs and likes without activation!
-
@yakuzaxrock dude idk why but I love your list
maybe because I love drawing cards? I'm not that good at magic and I'm not that good at vintage neither but tonight I'll do my best to pilot your list to the greatest record possible! I'm gonna play it on Cockatrice tho so idk how much relevant my score might be. Prolly zero. But who cares. I know I'll enjoy this night! See you later with the update results man. Keep the bazaar rolling! -
@zylvorak also...Is the loam engine that important? It looks like it is... If so how do you get your loam engine going with only 1 copy?
-
@zylvorak sorry for the spam... Kinda new to post. But is the reply or quote buttons the only way to post? What if I just want to give an update?What do I click to open the window where to type the text with no reply quotes etc? Just a normal plain message? One more post to add to the bottom of this topic? Sorry for the bad English too, but I do my best!
-
You use intuition to search for 1 loam, 1 strip mine and then a squee or punishing fire etc.
Yeah deck takes some practice to know how to play since there are a lot of options all the time. To the opponent it doesnt look like youre doing much but at your side you draw a ton of cards and keeping things in control until you win.
-
If theres a lot of aggro, you can +1 Balance - 1 red elemental blast.
Which i think is alright especially in paper.
Balance is ok vs dredge, you dont lose anything vs bug/survival decks maybe a few random goblin and white weenie but the oath/paradox/mentor matchup gets a little less but oath should still be strong with 2 krosan grip. Paradox is usually a fair matchup anyway.
-
Actually finally decided on this, cut a land again to bring in mana crypt (again!)
This makes gush and loam weaker, but with jace you can use those grips better and Balance/1 mana crypt spell for mentor+intuition better as well. Also dack can use stolen moxes better without stony silence.

-
Do you not run into Dredge very often? 3 Rakdos Charm is definitely not enough Graveyard Hate for that matchup.
-
3 rakdos is fine. You have a demonic tutor to find one, if you dont draw it by the ton of card drawing, and you have jace to cast them again. If youre afraid to make it until then, theres intuition for loam and strip mine. Theres also Balance to handle bastards.
There should be 1 more fetch and 1 volcanic less in the list also.
-
@yakuzaxrock
I see you have intuition and life of the loam. Why not capitalize on this by running a land toolbox and a Marit lage package.I don't understand why you are running gush in a deck with 9 islands/fetches that wants to go t1 bazaar?
Your disruption package/sideboard plan seems very light against combo, shops and dredge. How are you boarding in 8 blasts against blue decks when that's supposed to be your good matchup?
-
@macdeath
Thanks.Maybe the land idea should be tested. It looks a little slow and requires mana, which the bazaar deck is sorta slow at. But testing would tell. Usually you kill with colos not damage...
Gush is not as great in this deck as others, but it still has its tricks why it stays. You can use it as regular mana boost+against wastelands with a little minus as the opponent usually tries to kill your groves which you cant bounce. The gush lands can go to fayden discard or bazaar.
If theres a ton of workshop you can add more ancient grudges which is a fine card with bazaar and intuition. Theres just no room! You need a lot of blasts against leovold and control in general. Rebs are good right now, always been but stops many key drawing spells anything blue matchup wise paradox, oath mentor etc etc and good with fayden.
-
New update:
assasin's trophy vs leyline void/rest in peace and vs oath, or bazaar dredge. You can use jace with it. Gush is out... while a great card, most people will still waste-target only your groves anyway so you dont get to use it.// 60 maindeck
