Welcome back everyone! Today we are playing a Jeskai Spirits deck that Anton took to a seven-win finish on MTG Arena for the day one of the Alchemy championship event. I've seen a lot more varied decks in Alchemy than I have in Standard but have not seen Jeskai Spirits yet. After seeing that it played Obsessive Collector, I knew I had to try it out!
Let us go ahead and look at the decklist!
Time Stamps:
02:47 - Match 1
14:58 - Match 2
19:58 - Match 3
25:03 - Match 4
31:41 - Match 5
Jeskai Spirits | Alchemy | Anton
- Creatures (21)
- 2 Obsessive Collector
- 3 Skyclave Apparition
- 4 Clarion Spirit
- 4 Katilda, Dawnhart Martyr // Katilda's Rising Dawn
- 4 Stonebinder's Familiar
- 4 Usher of the Fallen
- Instants (2)
- 2 Geistlight Snare
- Enchantments (11)
- 3 Circle of Confinement
- 4 Paladin Class
- 4 Showdown of the Skalds
- Artifacts (1)
- 1 Portable Hole
The deck performed really well for us, I knew Katlida, Dawnhart Martyr // Katilda's Rising Dawn would be strong but did not know it would be that strong. The protection from Vampires matters in Alchemy and it ended up coming up! Sadly, I did not get to see Obsessive Collector in action, but I still like it as the 5-6th Showdown of the Skalds and would just play with it more. This deck could be ported to a best of three list. I would just run some more countermagic and Ray of Frost to combat dragons!
That's it for today, thanks for reading/watching!
