Episode 13: "The Emerald City" (4C Curiosity Control)

Tryhard Academy

Welcome in to a new episode of the Tryhard Academy Podcast.

In this episode, Cole and Jeff swing open the doors to The Emerald City and pull open the curtain on the "Curiosity Control" archetype; known by some as the 4C Rashmi Control Archetype. Since C16, 4C Rashmi Control has been a well-performing archetype over the last few years, in cEDH pods worldwide.

This deck blends reactive control elements, with Curiosity style enchantments, in order to draw a boatload of cards and bury your opponents in card advantage. To further their control gameplan, the archetype uses a few tried-and-true asymmetric, and symmetric, hate pieces that do not affect the deck directly.

If you're a fan of playing Magic on other people's turns and controlling the tempo of the game's flow, then this deck might just be up your alley.
