Blue Chip deck by Zelt

By Zelt4 min read

All penguins are welcomed! Today we will dive deep into the cold ocean and become one with ice on our journey. All the experiments I've done and all the struggles I overcame on my way to DUMMY THICC and #10 at peak led to this deck. In this article, I will be sharing my experience and perspective on how to master the blue deck.

Decklist breakdown and Synergies

Actions Spring a LeakCard preview Can be used in so many different ways — to protect your own penguins from being iced, to prevent opponents from drawing cards, etc.

Send It Too HardCard preview Opponents' worst nightmare. So powerful, a board wipe that makes your opponent's eye twitch.

Bedtime StoryCard preview Our main single penguin removal that helps us to deal with penguins that are causing some troubles.

Unlikely FriendsCard preview Great late-game removal that makes our opponent encounter a tough decision, which you can exploit.

Cool Story Bro!Card preview Awesome way to fill the shortage of cards in the opponent's ice in order to be able to play Bedtime StoryCard preview or Send It Too HardCard preview, or to finish the opponent.

WhatATwistCard preview Most versatile card in our deck; there are so many different ways that you can use it:

  • Helps with icing the last cards in the opponent's deck with either Miss Chief, Keeper of KeysCard preview or Penguin With HoopsCard preview + Penguin Who's OKCard preview combination.

  • In critical situations, you can cycle your deck with Penguin With HoopsCard preview to find Send It Too HardCard preview and clear the board.

  • Produce some extra pudge by unflopping Blue Wizard PenguinCard preview and playing more actions.

Ingenious IdeaCard preview Provides us with an additional card draw. Pairs extremely well with Penguin Who's OKCard preview.

Penguins & Relics Penguin Who's OKCard preview Considering the number of cards that it can ice throughout the game with our draw mechanisms he is our earliest game top priority 

Blue Wizard PenguinCard preview Most important pudge-producing penguin in this deck.

Penguin With HoopsCard preview Main card draw force. This penguin's value increases drastically in combination with Penguin Who's OKCard preview.

Sneaky PenguinCard preview Increases our chances of getting the cards we need the most at the exact stage of the game.

Popcorn PenguinCard preview Helps you to deal with aggressive decks and a lot of key low-vibe penguins in the opponent's huddle in the early game. Also, because we have 4x Inspiring StoryCard preview in our deck, Popcorn PenguinCard preview becomes our deadly weapon that is hard to counter.

Miss Chief, Keeper of KeysCard preview Strongest late-game finisher card that, in combination with Inspiring StoryCard preview and WhatATwistCard preview, could ice a ridiculous amount of cards. So, you should consider protecting that penguin at all costs.

Miss Place, Forgetter of ThingsCard preview Can completely crush your opponent by eliminating the cards they need the most in the late game.

Mulligan guide

The secret of mulliganing is to set priorities:

  1. 0-cost rod actions: Cool Story Bro!Card preview & WhatATwistCard preview. At the beginning of the game, you want at least one of each.

  2. Low-cost penguins: Penguin Who's OKCard preview and Blue Wizard PenguinCard preview.

  3. Card draw mechanisms: Penguin With HoopsCard preview and Sneaky PenguinCard preview. You can also keep Ingenious IdeaCard preview, but only if you already have Blue Wizard PenguinCard preview.

In general I recommend avoiding any heavy-cost cards because without a properly managed early game, your chances of winning decrease significantly. Win conditions You have two main ways to secure a win with this deck: 1.Ice in my veins: Your top priority is to try to mill your opponent's deck with Penguin With HoopsCard preview + Inspiring StoryCard preview or Penguin Who's OKCard preview + Penguin With HoopsCard preview. 2.Vibest among the vibers: If you cannot mill our opponents deck in time, consider trying to win the last vibe check with a bunch of Inspiring StoryCard preview.You can use Miss Place, Forgetter of ThingsCard preview in order to counter Bunkus, Who Is the StarsCard preview or Bizmo, PhD CandidateCard preview. Always keep one Spring a LeakCard preview in order to counter opponents actions.

Strategy breakdown

Early Game:

  • Lose early vibe checks — additional card draw gives you a lot more variety.

  • Let the opponent take the upper hand and counteract.

  • Start building up the foundation for your future plays with cards like Penguin Who's OKCard preview.

Mid Game:

  • Control the board with single-target removal tools and start icing the opponent's deck more actively.

  • Try to set up your win conditions based on what’s happening on the board.

Late Game:

  • If facing unavoidable danger of losing, utilize Send It Too HardCard preview to change the pace of the game.

  • Mill the rest of the opponent's deck with Miss Chief, Keeper of KeysCard preview or other available tools.

Potential Substitutions

Keep DiggingCard preview. Additional action removal that works best against action-heavy yellow decks.

Got 'Em!Card preview and Daydreaming PenguinCard preview. Both cards serve a similar purpose to Popcorn PenguinCard preview in icing crucial low-vibe penguins.

Miss Place, Forgetter of ThingsCard preview You can add up to 4x copies in case you are facing purple a lot.

Bridge With Layer ZeroCard preview Basically an additional cheap penguin removal that combines well with Popcorn PenguinCard preview.

CONCLUSION

Blue Chip is a powerful control deck that is based on patience and strategy, slowing down opponents to eventually take control over the game. Deck building is an ongoing process, but I do believe blue has the potential to become one of the brightest colors. Keep experimenting and adjusting to find the optimal balance for your personal playstyle and the ever-changing meta of VIBES!
