Pyramid Scheme
Hello, do you have a few minutes? I’d love to talk to you about taking infinite turns…
Pyramid Scheme is a Blue/Green mid-range combo deck that charges up artifacts with the Proliferate mechanic and uses them to take all the extra turns it needs to win!
A versatile Blue-Green midrange deck that combines efficient threats with interaction, scaling into powerful late-game options.

Game Plan
Early Game
Turns 1-2
Make efficient plays with Fog and Opt and set up your mid-game. Don't overextend into sweepers if you have a lead.
Mid Game
Turns 3-4
Develop your board while leaving up interaction. This is where the deck's threat-answer flexibility shines — read the matchup and pivot accordingly.
Late Game
Turn 5+
Leverage Kumena's Awakening and Flux Channeler to dominate the late game. Resolve your biggest threats and protect them.
Deck Play Profile
Derived from automated card-by-card analysis across all known versions. The Capability Profile shows how the deck measures up across six functional dimensions — pressure, interaction, card advantage, and more. The Play Style hexagon uses the same data to place the deck on the aggro–control–combo–midrange spectrum.
