Your ideal turn-two is to play Curious Obsession with Geistlight Snare up, but Curious Obsession on its own or Supreme Phantom is good too.Īfter that, having two more one-drop creatures or a Shacklegeist is also acceptable, but considerably less powerful.

The deck’s game plan is to commit to the board on the first two turns, then spend the rest of the game playing at instant-speed and being annoying with cards like Rattlechains and Geistlight Snare.

You usually want to commit another creature or Curious Obsession on turn two. I’ll then round it off with some important tips and tricks to be aware of, as well as a sideboard guide for the most played decks! As most Mono Blue Spirts lists look very similar, I won’t give much attention to the decklist, but instead I want to focus on how to make mulligan decisions with this deck and how to sequence out the first few turns, as I think that is much more important with this deck than most others. In today’s article, I will be going through the archetype in depth.

Most importantly, I really enjoyed playing the deck, and it reminded me a lot of playing Blue-White Delver in Standard back in the day. Leading up to the event, I had played the deck quite a lot on Magic Online to decent success, and I felt good about most of my matchups against the top decks outside Black-Red Midrange and Mono Red Aggro. I recently came second at a local Regional Championships Qualifier with Mono Blue Spirits, conceding to a friend in the finals so that he could get the invite (I am already qualified).
