Finally, I 'll write about Mono Blue.
I have posted articles about Mono Black and Mono Red. For people who want to know what cards I will buy and sell in the coming month, here is an ever-updating page: Cards to collect and sell.
I found some cards going well with Blue devotion:
Mindreaver (UU)
I expect another UU card in Dragons of Tarkir will fill the slot.
Encrust (1UU)
It doesn't tap the creature but I like the UU mana cost.
Cloudform (1UU)
A hexproof flyer.
Bident of Thassa (2UU)
Jace, the Living Guildpact (2UU)
What we don't have at this moment: Early damage cards.
This is a problem backfiring all plans for Devotion, except the green one. Last year, Mono black devotion was equipped with Pack Rat and Desecration Demon, both are finishers; while Mono Blue always dropped Cloudfin Raptor turn 1 to start beating. They have nothing comparable in this Standard. The hope is on Dragons and Magic Origins.
After reading the full list of Dragons on 14th March, I sold all my Master of Waves and we will keep seeking new ideas for deck building.Sorry, mono blue control.
Things get better on Mono Blue now! Please read my new post with Collected Company here.
The list:
Master of Waves 4
Shorecrasher Elemental 4
Thassa, God of the Sea 4
Triton Shorestalker / Gudul Lurker 4
Hypnotic Siren 4
Mindreaver / Chasm Skulker/ Stratus Dancer 4
Cloudform 4
Hall of Triumph 2
Bident of Thassa 2
Collected Company 4
11 Islands
4 Temple of Mystery
4 Mana Confluence
4 Yavimaya Coast
Test Result:
Blue is much slower than Green Red aggros or Red Decks now. I think with currently small drops it's hard for Mono Blue Devotion to come back as top deck.
