As there are many decks to cover, they will be split into multiple sections in multiple spoilers. Different variants include different amount of SoW copies, which correlate to how heavily they require the combo to go off. As such, some variants utilising 4 SoW will use it as a creature denial rather than a dedicated win condition.

Spoiler for Light - Reflective Shield:
Quint Whales
0462c037k00e8080681603812018pq

First on the list is a simple list that utilises Nymph ability to unfreeze the Space Whales, while also using them for SoW purposes. Preferable to Bubble because of the DR on the Shield.

Standard Psyche Metal
037k00c8080380v068160680h018pq

Likely the most standard list in the post. Psyche Metal to force them to play cards, combo the cards, eventually win. Other lists are more optimised at actually winning, but this is the barebones list and deserves a mention.

Tess Reinforce
0362c01m2c037k0027kf098080381q0381106816018pq

Tess forces out opposing creatures, which helps for the combo. Reinforce stacks your deck which gives more value to your own Tesseracts, especially since Nymph Quint thaws.
Spoiler for Bonus Tess deck:
Tess Anubis
045m2037k0047q7058080581q0381106816018pq

Anubis can't be played from hand but only has 1 cost on ability. The tradeoff can be worth it depending on the scenario.

Spoiler for Water - Bubble Shield:
Octopus Duo
037h6037gr048080881q0180v068160680h018pp

Packs the full combo, noting that you freeze cards that you can't combo, and Quint the Octopus as needed. 31 cards used here as the opponent can refuse to play creatures, and a single Psyche copy isn't reliable enough to stop this.

Space Whale Rush
047h4037h6027ke09808048160480h04812018pq

Prismatic Gladius and Bubble-Whale make the deck quite fast, and serve as the primary win condition here.

Water Nymph/Flooding
017gk017i6037h6027h1017hb027h80c81q068160280h018pp

Water Nymphs aim to make either a Turquoise Nymph, or to be used on opponent pillars in situations where they decide not to play creatures.

Spoiler for Life - Emerald Shield:
Emerald Shield decks are much harder to make due to the shield costing so much more than the alternatives, but decks still exist.
Druid Duo
025c401lc4037ac097bu037as0180v068160680h018pu

Very similar to the Squid duo, but runs Druids!

Heal SoW Emerald
025c401lc40a7bu067ai0180v068160680h018pu

Good for EMs, heal off chip damage taken while being selective with combo. This is a standard deck, and Heals can be replaced by a bunch of things. For instance, SoGra for healing over time, Giant Frogs for damage, Adrens for better combos, etc.



Spoiler for Special Mentions:
These decks are by no means standard, but are interesting enough to warrant a place in the post.
