It is time for another deck guide with our hosts focusing their eagle eyes on TF Aphelios this week! Learn everything about this deck and flex options as Maitland and Simon break down all of the cards, play patterns and interactions in one of their all time favorite decks to play! 

Some mulligan notes as we forgot to discuss them in the ep:

Keep: aphelios, TF, Veiled temple, duskbringer.

Situational keeps: pick a card (with TF and early curve), gift from beyond (if you really need to trigger aphelios or need an early boxtopus), spacey sketcher (if the body trades for something in the match up or you have an aphelios already)
