Welcome to my Eldritch themed deck!

Sorcery is probably the first CCG I’ve played that has left me really wanting to build a “themed” deck. This is aimed to scratch that itch.

For the most part this is a collection of all the “deep sea” horrors and then various support cards to try and help it run at least somewhat well.

I have recently added a splash of air (thanks for the suggestion @bleezy). I haven't played the current iteration yet but the old mono water version did have trouble with a heavy top end (it was super slow). I feel like the subtle ramp from a few towers could help as well as the extra core.

Also Air provides some significant card selection options which doesn't hurt.

A note on tactics:

This deck is very mana hungry and can be quite slow. In the early game you are probably aggressively searching for one of two things. Acceleration or a [[Porqupine Pufferfish]] with the goal of getting some kind of deterrent down to help you buy time to build.

The card draw here is spread around a bit. You have 3 [[Deep-Sea Mermaids]] which care great at getting you an expensive card you bottomed while still leaving your draw free from that spell you maybe can't cast right now. There are also a full set of [[Grandmaster Wizard]] because drawing 3 is always great, the spell caster side is mostly flavor text here however it is super useful if you do happen to find the [[Dream-Quest]]. Lastly you have [[Browse]] and [[Dream-Quest]] which while unique are great at finding what you might be looking for. The final draw path is the [[Pnakotic Manuscript]] it does require a bearer in order to draw but combined with disposable low power minions like frog tokens ([[Plague of Frogs]], [[Tadpole Pool]]) it can be a huge source of card advantage.

The real focus/strength of the deck is in card selection/filtering. Between [[Seer]], [[Fenvale Muse]] and the multitude of Ordinary Rivers you are looking at and potentially bottoming 1 to 2 cards per turn that you don't necessarily want to draw.

There isn't anything too clever going on here when it comes to finishing the game. The deck has a pretty heavy top end of big dumb beaters that will take the opponent to Death's Door in a matter of 2-3 turns from full health. It is just a matter of dodging hard removal which in some matchups can be tricky.

A note on the sideboard:

The sideboard is not super focused but more geared towards providing a bit of reinforcement when it comes to opponents who may have a more focused strategy.

Probably the the most useful/often needed in the sideboard is the [[Disenchant]] there are so many spots where it does real work. It is great against [[Enchantress]], strong against any opponent ramping with cores and or [[Philosopher’s Stone]] and also super strong against [[Battlemage]].

[[Atlantean Fate]] is probably more cute than anything. It can be very stong against any opponent playing a lot of non-basic sites. But at unique you can really rely on it too much.

[[Flanking Maneuver]] is helpful in any matchup where you may find your bodies of water broken up somehow or are trying to defend against or corral fast minions from your opponent.

[[Fey Changeling]] affords a bit more “removal” for scenarios where you are being overrun early or the opponent has minions you want to remove/disrupt but the aren’t attacking and don’t venture onto any of your water sites.

Finally there is the [[Lord of the Void]]. Which mostly carries a marginal bit of theme into the sideboard ;). Although it can be useful against opponents who are as mana hungry as this deck is.
