Today is the last of the Retrospective series for a while, as Sedris is deck number five. Sedris is fun, but I saved it for last because its a very straightforward affair. It plays huge creatures and tries to cheat them into play. It has next to no interaction, just trying to make the largest presence it can while drawing massive numbers of cards.

There are a few cool things about the deck beyond having a Jin-Gitaxis in play on turn two. The deck makes excellent use of Morality Shift as a way to find Past In Flames and Songs of the Damned to play the whole deck in one shot. Flayer of the Hatebound is hilariously good at just killing everything. The deck also has a number of two card combos. Kiki-Jiki and Deadeye Navigator can pull outrageous plays, and Zealous Conscripts is totally respectable on its own. The core problem in the deck is that it pays tons of life to power its various effects and only has Whip of Erebos to gain life. Now, Whip can gain you a non-trival amount of life, but its still a glaring weakness. Also of note is that there are no counterspells and virtually no removal. If anyone at the table is playing an interactive game you are going to fall victim to their removal almost 100% of the time. This is not unintentional. It means you are fast enough to outrace people that are playing an unfair game, but vulnerable to people who are playing a fair game.
