As Standard is about to change slightly and evolve into a new format, I wanted to do something different for a local FNM one night. \u00a0I decided to go Old School and give props to a good friend of mine, Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas<\/a>. \u00a0He and I go back to when I opened less than a box of Mirrodin Besieged at a prerelease (18 packs from 1 box and 14 packs from another) and he graced me with his presence…4 times.\u00a0\u00a0I knew then he would be by my side to bring out the Phyrexian in me. \u00a0Here is our story…<\/p>\n

I needed to fly the Esper Resistance Flag<\/p><\/div>\n

As it was Thursday, I was pondering what I wanted to play for Friday Night Magic. \u00a0I typically do not have a ton of time on my hands to take apart decks and rebuild new ones all the time so I usually play about the same deck or two. \u00a0Lately it has been Esper Solar Flare, which I did a deck tech on a week or two ago. \u00a0I have always loved playing Esper \u00a0(Blue, Black, and White) and with the cool things like Forbidden Alchemy<\/a> and Unburial Rites<\/a>, who wouldn’t? \u00a0It has been doing great but on this day, I awoke with a different perspective. \u00a0Before I went to work, I looked through my binder and the decks I had prebuilt to see what I could come up with. \u00a0I wanted to brew something that was currently different in the meta, had a theme, and most importantly, unexpected. \u00a0I sort\u00a0my\u00a0binder by colors and when I got to the near end of it…my answer had arrived. \u00a0It was Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas<\/a> and he was starring at me with his lifeless eyes…black eyes…like a dolls eyes (Jaws reference). \u00a0It was then, I knew what I had to do…<\/p>\n

I have played Tezzeret a few times before and its a super fun deck. \u00a0He is the closest thing to Jace we have in the format and he cost only 4 mana! \u00a0My 2 previous\u00a0lists were a custom brew and\u00a0Shouta Yasooka list from Worlds. \u00a0Since we had some new cards I wanted to try and incorporate some even though the Innistrad block\u00a0isn’t\u00a0really an artifact block. \u00a0After some deliberating I chose the list below. \u00a0Keep in mind this was built on the fly with no testing and kind of geared toward my local FNM meta game (Delver, Infect, Wolf Run, and Zombies).<\/p>\n
