In a meta dominated by Mono Red Kuldotha, Dimir Terror and Grixis Affinity, how about playing an anti-meta list affectionately named Good Cards Tribal?

Hey, there, folks, how is it going? I am Tiago Fuguete, and in today's article, I'll tell you guys how I got to, or rather, how this Sultai Control got to me.

As a content creator, I get a lot of lists and questions such as, "what do you think of this list?", "is this good in this deck?", "how do I improve this deck?", and many others. I have to confess I get some pretty cool lists, and I have even tested out many of them while streaming, but one day my friend Gilberto "Kebraossos" sent me this list, a Sultai Pauper (Magic Symbol uMagic Symbol bMagic Symbol g) deck.

From the start I thought it was weird and that I'd never play it, but I liked the idea and I decided to test it out in one of the free tournaments I set up.

I didn't play exactly this list he sent. I ended up making a couple of changes, but right at the first tourney I got a 3-0 and I confess I was quite surprised.

In the second test, I got up to the final in another tournament and I decided to make a few more changes to play an MTGO League, and surprisingly, I ended up getting the very sought-after 5-0!

After all of that, I decided to introduce the deck at once to you guys in an article and make eternal this idea in our current metagame.

About Sultai Control

After this story on why I decided to play this deck, let's talk about it and show what's different about it.

Sideboard Against the Main Matchups

Here is the point I wanted to get to and discuss why I believe our deck fits the current metagame. I simply think it has everything to play against the main decks, and I'll leave an explanation below each one:

vs. Kuldotha Burn

I think we all agree that Kuldotha today is one of the best and most popular decks in tournaments. And how to win against this deck?

To accomplish that, our deck already comes prepared with Weather the Storm and Pulse of Murasa, to give us some room to breathe, and plenty of removals to also deal with the board.

That is without mentioning more side cards such as Hydroblast, Dispel, plus Weather the Storm and even Moment’s Peace.

vs. Dimir Terror

A tough match, but one I still think is sort of good for our deck, as the opponent has ).push({});
