Vintage MtG — Captain Crunch vs. 4C Xerox
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 08/07/2020

For this UOL season, I decided to play a brew of mine. Similarly to Modern Birthing Pod and Legacy Nic-Fit, Captain Crunch is a midrange deck that also features a combo in the form of Captain Sisay and Paradox Engine.

After resolving both, you first tap Captain Sisay in order to get Mox Amber, casting it to untap your permanents. Then, you get Mox Opal and do the same. After that, you get whichever other pieces you'd like, such as Hope of Ghirapur, Emry, or a planeswalker. With each loop, you float mana from your mana rocks and mana dorks so that you have enough to cast a huge payoff, which in this case is Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger (but which could, instead, be Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.)

Here's my decklist via MtGgoldfish…
