Modern MtG — Neobrand vs. Simic Infect
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 04/09/2020

Neobrand, aka Grishoalbrand, is a combo deck that looks to stick an Allosaurus Rider onto the battlefield, convert it into a Griselbrand with either Neoform or Eldritch Evolution, then draw through their deck with the combination of Griselbrand's ability and Nourishing Shoal until you find Laboratory Maniac. All of that can be done as soon as the very first turn. The deck's weakness is its lack of consistency, along with vulnerability to Force of Negation and Spell Pierce/Stubborn Denial when on the draw, though it has Pact of Negation for those situations.
