Finished 11-3-1 at Regional Championship DC with Niv to Light, good for 26th place! Going to my first pro tour!! 🎉🎉

@Roaringliger1 It’s not too late to feel the sunshine

@NickDeriu Seeing decks like this make my heart flutter. Makes me almost wish I didnt dive into the badgermole hole.

It's finally done! Nearly 15k words on Standard 4 Color Control ✨ This is the most detailed guide I've ever have the pleasure of writing. If you are serious about playing control in standard, this primer will get you downloaded on everything 4CC including...

@MiguelSeSand Sent you a dm ✌🏻

@NickDeriu is your decklist on metafy? :) Im interested in buying the sideboard guide

@CarloAlanChave2 Sent you a dm 😄

@NickDeriu Hello! I would like to purchase that guide

@JP8finity @H_REBOT ⬆️ Exactly. There’s a whole RC season of standard ahead of us. Standard is also still very popular online

@H_REBOT @NickDeriu Sure, but if you are qualified for the next standard RC, this is worth looking into if you like to play control

@JP8finity Thanks Josh 🙏

@NickDeriu Even though standard season is ending, 4 color control is extremely underrated in this current meta and well worth reading his deck guide. Ive playedcit last season during vivi winter and a little bit after switching from jeskai control. Well worth buying into the guide!

In open metagames, deck mastery is key 💯 My (swolest) teammate Nick took that Revelation to heart and it paid off massively, slicing through the PT Lorwyn field! The amount of work he put into this deck is staggering, and it shines through in his guide ✨️

@MiguelSeSand Hi Miguel, you can find all my most recent 4CC decklists are here mtggoldfish.com/player/Nick+De…

@NickDeriu Hello there! I'm interested in this decklist!

9 cards that made me I started playing Magic in Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block, but didn’t play competitively till 2017 when I picked up Death’s Shadow This pic represents some of my favorite cards since then across Standard, Pioneer, and Modern

@Zykles__ I can’t answer this in a single tweet but I do have a positive WR against landfall and will include details for that in my guide

@NickDeriu how do you beat mono green or other decks playing ba sing ge / value engines?

9-6 with my usual Jeskai Black 🇺🇸🖤 in RC Milwaukee After playing hundreds of matches with this archetype - including positive records across 2 RCs and a PT - I wanted to share some insights:

@jpetervoight Congrats on the finish! It will be interesting to see how this deck is positioned as new cards are added to the format prior to that event

@NickDeriu This would be so sweet! I just started playing 60 card recently and 6-1-1ed an RCQ for an invite on the first go. I agree with a lot of your thoughts. Will def be following you along the way as I prep for RC Cincinnati

@RhysticBuddy Thank you, hopefully I have time to do both some written and some video content 👍

@NickDeriu Please do! I have been thoroughly enjoying the 4c control lists and have been trying out various cards in the deck to A. Fit my playstyle and B. My local area meta. Great performance! Hope to see some more about the deck!

@Miquel__bosch Cutting on helix dampens your burn gameplan, and killing fast is importantly in a ton of matchups. Get Lost is constantly a liability. The maps are a huge downside, giving your opponents free value and more permanents to help pay for waterbending. The lifegain is also massive.

@NickDeriu I've tried a similar list and I'd rather have 4 get lost instead of 4 helix. Feels to me like helix kills the small stuff you'd want to wipe T4-T5

@Zelesnya You could play one extra Get Lost main, I wouldn’t go higher than that. The best sideboard cards against them are things like Fire Magic and Overlord of the Mistmoors

@NickDeriu What about dimir midrange kaito :) how would you adapt it if you forsee many of those in a particular event, ty!

I’m considering writing a full guide for this deck if there is enough interest. In the meantime, my dms are open for anyone interested in personalized coaching. Good luck gamers 🫡

The deck has a lot of small decisions that add up over the course of the match, which will reward you for playing optimally. If you like playing lots of colors, powerful interaction, and big flashy spells, then this might be the deck for you.
