Introduction
I can't take most of the credit for this deck, October of 2019 Merchant (Youtube/Twitch) made a video about a zero rare Beamsplitter Mage
deck. It was created prior to Ravnica Allegiance and War of the Spark sets had been released. I feel like this needs to be revisited, but as a less budgetted version with the addition of cards like Dreadhorde Arcanist
and Samut's Sprint
. Due to rotation we converted it into a Traditional Historic/Pionner legal deck.
The Pinball Wizards (Feature Cards)
Beamsplitter Mage and Dreadhorde Arcanist are Jank Shenanigans at its finest. Not only are we getting the copy from Beamsplitter, we're also getting a free cast from Arcanist that we target with Beamsplitter again and copy it a second time letting us in theory have four itterations of said spell on creatures.
The Legends (Other Creatures)
The Multiball Bonus (Targeting Cards)
- Brute Strength
is a better alternative to Barge In, in my opinion. - Samut's Sprint is such a good card, you can practically scry 4 with a Beamsplitter and an Arcanist on the board from first main phase to declaration of attackers.
- Shore Up is better version of You See a Guard Approach or Dive Down.
- Slip Out the Back is a good way to save one or two creatures from a board wipes.
The Pinballs (Support Cards)
- Impulse has replaced Deliberate bue to be able to dig a bit deeper into the deck.
- Riptide Laboratory, Shore Up and Slip Out the Back bring a level of protection that it didn't have prior.
- The Royal Scions lets up look for cards that the Arcanist can target, buff a creature with first strike and trample, and their bomb is a solid finisher of you can't do it through combat damage.
Full Tilt (Sideboard)
Mostly tailored to slow down control and go wide aggro. Even though it also slows us down a little bit, it adds counterspells, more incidental damage.
Overall Concerns
The biggest issue with this deck is that it's inconsistent. I've done some additonal play with it on Arena and Paper. With Impulse, The Royal Scions, and Samut's Sprint should help in scrying through to getting the cards you need. The longer the game goes the lower the percentage of being able to win. Still a fun deck to play, just isn't the meta.
I do have to admit I don't know when to stop when it comes to brewing decks, so many times that is the reason it becomes inconsistent. So if you haven't had much luck with it, it solely falls on my shoulders that it fails.
