Moments Before the Wind

Liquimetal Control (G/R Style)

So, this is something I’d seen done before by Jesse Callaghan (machineorthodoxy.tumblr.com), but I was on MTGO and looking to make a deck that I could play in Standard without losing every match, but I only had two tickets to buy every card with. Here’s the decklist:

Artifacts:
4 x Liquimetal Coating
2 x Elixer of Immortality

Creatures:
3 x Manic Vandal
4 x Viridian Corrupter
2 x Oxidda Scrapmelter

Enchantments:
4 x Viridian Revel

Sorceries:
1 x Rolling Temblor

Instants:
3 x Crush
3 x Glissa’s Scorn
4 x Naturalize
4 x Shatter
2 x Slice in Twain
2 x Ancient Grudge
2 x Fog

Land:
10 x Forest
10 x Mountain

The goal of the deck, and almost absolutely necessary, is to stick a Liquimetal Coating on turn two. Then, from that point on, using all of the artifact hate, destroy every permanent your opponent tries to stick. Lands, creatures, enchantments, planeswalkers, any and everything. They can all be turned into artifacts and destroyed. This deck also is extremely budget. There’s not a single rare. I built the entire thing by shopping at a bot and trading a little over a single ticket. 

I’d prefer more Ancient Grudges in place of some Shatters, but I don’t have them yet. I’m also considering running more Rolling Temblor mainboard, but I’ll have to test for that. I have two more in sideboard.
