Vintage Magic — Drakes vs. 5C Phoenixes

Date: 2019-03-26

Do you like playing completely fair Magic?
Do you also like swinging with a 20+/4 flying creature that can't be hit with Abrupt Decay, laughs at graveyard hate, and draws you a card?
Then Drakes might be the deck for you!
In that case, here's the decklist for you to pore over:
Artifacts (3)
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
Creatures (6)
4 Crackling Drake
2 Young Pyromancer
Instants (19)
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Ancient Grudge
1 Brainstorm
1 Dig Through Time
1 Fire // Ice
1 Flusterstorm
4 Force of Will
1 Gush
2 Lightning Bolt
4 Mental Misstep
1 Pyroblast
1 Spell Pierce
Planeswalkers (3)
3 Dack Fayden
Sorceries (11)
1 Gitaxian Probe
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Ponder
4 Preordain
1 Time Walk
1 Treasure Cruise
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Windfall
Lands (18)
1 Flooded Strand
3 Island
2 Misty Rainforest
1 Mountain
1 Polluted Delta
4 Scalding Tarn
2 Tropical Island
4 Volcanic Island
Sideboard (15)
1 Ancient Grudge
1 By Force
2 Blood Moon
1 Hurkyl’s Recall
1 Null Rod
2 Pyroblast
4 Ravenous Trap
3 Surgical Extraction

Here's the now-outdated decklist for Phoenixes. I've moved past it now as it doesn't have enough mana, making mulligans have almost Dredge-like levels of frequency (as you'll see more readily in a future video.) The next version has Dack Fayden and two Preordains turned into 3 Volcanic Island. Somehow, in deck construction, I missed the mark for how many mana sources were included.
Artifacts (4)
1 Black Lotus
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
Creatures (6)
4 Arclight Phoenix
1 Bedlam Reveler
1 Erayo, Soratami Ascendant
Instants (20)
1 Ancestral Recall
2 Ancient Grudge
4 Entomb
4 Force of Will
4 Manamorphose
4 Mental Misstep
1 Vampiric Tutor
Planeswalker (1)
1 Dack Fayden
Sorceries (17)
4 Careful Study
4 Faithless Looting
1 Ponder
4 Preordain
1 Time Walk
1 Treasure Cruise
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Windfall
Lands (12)
