The basic idea of our deck is to get a Braid of Fire, which can product a ton of mana each upkeep, on the battlefield at the same time as an Upwelling, which keeps mana from emptying from mana pools at the ends of turns and phases. The good news is there is another option: instead of playing cards to take advantage of mana produced on our upkeep, what if we played cards that allowed us to use Braid of Fire's mana whenever we wanted? This is the direction we ended up going with the deck, and I'm super happy with how it turned out. My first idea was to just work around this problem by playing instants like Searing Wind and trying to kill our opponent on our upkeep, but this seemed pretty bland, like a bad burn deck.
Since the mana it makes is added to our mana pool on our upkeep, we can't use it to cast anything except instants and cards with flash. The second challenge has to do with the timing of Braid of Fire's mana production. As such, one major challenge of the deck is staying alive long enough to make Braid of Fire actually matter.
To really get a major benefit from its mana-producing cumulitive upkeep cost, we need it to be on the battlefield for several, and preferably many, turns. Against the Odds: Braid of Fire Deck Techīraid of Fire is a really challenging card to build around for two reasons.

As a bonus, we'll try to answer the question: just how much mana will Magic Online let us make?Īnyway, let's get to the videos, but first a quick reminder. As a result, this week, we are heading to Modern to play a deck built around Braid of Fire, one of the strangest enchantments in the format. In fact, Braid of Fire brought in 37% of the vote-one of the highest totals ever on our Against the Odds polls! Meanwhile, our two Standard options, Permeating Mass and the combo of Imprisoned in the Moon and Crumble to Dust, came in second and third, while Ixidron in Modern and Legacy Slivers came in at the back of the pack and will fall off this week's poll for new options. Welcome to episode fifty-three of Against the Odds! Last week on our Against the Odds poll, Braid of Fire blew the competition out of the water.
