Notes
 
This is a close approximation of this deck. There is two variant's here. One that more closely resembles death's shadow and another that more closely resembles mono blue aggro. There's a lot of overlap but some interesting differences in deck selection based off of the life loss aspect. I believe the main package outlined above is massive amounts of card advantage and free spells with the right 1 mana threats. Dark confidant and Lurrus are already besties, as is Mishra's bauble. Everyone's getting ahead on cards. Curious obsession means we get even farther ahead on cards while also pumping our creature. Other Lurrus decks are trying to leverage their CA, where as this deck just converts all CA into immediate actions, which is what CA is good for when everyone has a ton of it. Disrupting shoal is the perfect free spell, as it gives me the edge against other Lurrus decks, and plays protect the queen really well, and mutagenic growth as another free spell gives some added reach and protection with no mana investment, as well as pumping a shadow if it's in the list. From here we fill out threats and more low cost interaction/cantrips. Disrupting shoal probably doen't get to play alongside thoughtseize unfortunately, unless we cut down on our current free spells.

    Interesting are you planing on playing modern soon? Im guessing black is just for that added power?
    • Adam Haggerty | 11-May-2020 18:18
      Deck idea just kinda occured to me so I wrote it down. It's a Lurrus of the Dream Den deck. Mono blue aggro, then white or black or white so you can cast Lurrus. I think black is better. re casting Siren stormtamer, any of the aggro creatures, dark confidant, or curious obseession all seems nuts in a deck like this. With all the added card advantage and number of Lurrus decks in the format disrupting shoal is really good. And unlike the other Lurrus decks and Yorion decks you actually are clocking hard right away, making the game more about answering your threats, which should be hard to do.
