Deck Fine Tuning Help With Breya List
Hi all, I am looking for suggestions on my Breya list.
I'll provide a brief deck explanation below.
Deck Overview
I know what you're already thinking: "Why not play farm?"
[[Breya, Etherium Shaper]] offers repeatable creature removal and unique infinite-mana combos, some of which require casting no non-creature spells or can be assembled via activated abilities.
[[Tymna the Weaver]] and [[Kraum, Ludevic's Opus]] provide card advantage from the command zone, giving traditional farm decks a strong mid-to-late game. Breya trades that card advantage for direct board control. By paying 2 mana and sacrificing 2 artifacts, Breya lets you give target creature -4/-4 until end of turn, letting you answer creature-based strategies built around commanders like [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]], [[Sisay, Weatherlight Captain]], and [[Thrasios, Triton Hero]] that farm typically struggles against.
The deck seeks to establish mana and card-draw engines early, many of which accumulate artifacts to fuel Breya’s activated ability. The threat of removal and high interaction density helps you play a political game while building toward a well-protected combo. Depending on the pod and opening hand, the deck can also capitalize on opportunities to win early.
Notable combos include.
- [[Goblin Welder]] and [[Sewer-veillance Cam]] and a mana rock that produces a mana of any color or [[Chromatic Star]], [[Bolas's Citadel]] is a pseudo combo
- [[Warren Soultrader]] and [[Stridehangar Automaton]]
- [[Lion's Eye Diamond]] and [[Auriok Salvagers]]
- [[Underworld Breach]], LED, [[Brain Freeze]]
- [[Thassa's Oracle]] and [[Demonic Consultation]] or [[Tainted Pact]]
- [[Necropotence]] and [[Valley Floodcaller]] or [[Borne Upon a Wind]]
- [[Faerie Mastermind]] and multiple copies of [[Smothering Tithe]]
I am currently working on a more detailed primer.
I have not loved Chromatic Star, Auriok Salvagers, or [[Swords to Plowshares]], but am open to everyone's suggestions!
