Overview:

Welcome to Quincymccoy’s Creative Deck Archive, a compendium including links to all profiles, articles, videos, and more that I’ve created, piloted, and/or used over the past 9 years here on the site. Going into 2026, this page will also houses direct links to my most recent IRL deckbuilds, if you want to pick up and play something that I use IRL.

Feel free to use this post as a reference point if you are interested in seeing if I’ve ever covered an archetype before (which I probably have), especially if you’re planning to try out a deck for the first time. Below the spoiler for my IRL builds, Archetypes/themes will be sorted by alphabetical order, and for themes I’ve covered multiple times, I’ll link all past profiles that apply. Please pardon the dust – This post was last fully updated on January 1st 2025, but will be undergoing major updates.

Spoiler

As of the October 2025 TCG format, I am currently running a few different decks regularly. This list will be regularly updated, as well as the builds on Spellbook.Life.

1: Artmage K9 – View on Spellbook.Life

  • This deck is by far my most powerful right now, leveraging the K9 engine to force the opponent to waste interactions early, then following up the K9 endboard with a full Artmage combo. While it doesn’t run many handtraps, it is built to play through them quite well. And yes, off a standard hand – not even the best one – you can end on up to 9 disruptions when going 1st.
  • You can see an earlier version of this deck in action: CDP: Artmage K9

2: R.B. Orcust Sky Striker – View on Spellbook.Life

  • Featuring absurd OTK power through disruption and many one-card combos, this build leverages the strengths of the R.B. TCG World Premiere archetype while still balancing the build with hand traps and other toolbox options. Even when forced to go first, this deck can put up a solid array of disruptions, while gaining valuable knowledge from their hand with R.B. Lambda Cannon.
  • You can see my current build in action in a CDP coming in December 2025.
