Making an aggressive midrange deck in current meta has been hard for me but I think I have it down now. My sideboard allows me to go control if need be. Please comment any suggestions if you like the idea.
Please help me critique this deck as I plan to use at FNM and to update with new rotations.
Angels, Vampires and Devils meet one another for a Supernatural experience.
MAINBOARD
SORCERY:
Alms of the Vein - With a lot of life hate between Goldnight Castigator, Anguished Unmaking and pain lands I find this card a NEED in this deck while it also helps me get the opponents life total down. I am thinking about carrying 1 more on SB for facing more control and midrange like decks.
Biting Rain - One can make the argument Languish can be in this slot but Languish's synergy with Goldnight Castigator and Goblin Dark-Dwellers does not bode well for me. This board wipe is thus more appropriate and leaves a Madness making it versatile play. Also knocks out most Ally's and Vampires in the current meta game.
Burn from Within - Drop a indestructible like my very own Archangel Avacyn and I burn it away. Also, reanimation is a no go. Nuff said.
Planar Outburst - Ultimate board wipe that won't touch Shambling Vent. I am awaiting the day I swing Shambling Vent for a win off of Planar Outburst resolve.
Read the Bones - Some more self hate for the price of locating the card I am in need of. Great play when Gideon, Ally of Zendikar or Sorin, Grim Nemesis is up next.
Ruinous Path - Destroys any threat without indestructible. Izzet I'm looking at you O_o
Tormenting Voice - Play with Alms of the Vein or Fiery Temper to piss off my opponent. Could easily shift the game in a midrange scenario.
INSTANT:
Anguished Unmaking - Self hate at the expense of removing anything at instant speed. Ill take that.
Death Wind - Could honestly have something better here but right now it is suitable for Planeswalker protection and getting rid of pesky Eldrazi.
Fiery Temper - Provides pressure just like Alms and can target players. This card is versatile which is why I love it.
To the Slaughter - Very good card against Superfriends. Will probably remove one Ultimate Price for another Slaughter.
CREATURES:
Archangel Avacyn - Great card flipped or not. Could easily flip with having 1 of my 6 non-angel creatures in play, a Gideon produced token, or an ultimate Sorin.
Goblin Dark-Dwellers - Great synergy with most my instants and sorceries. Best plays is To the Slaughter on opponents end step and drop Dark-Dwellers on MP1 to come back for another creature or planeswalker maybe 4 total if Delirium is triggered. That is easily going to give me board advantage against Ally, Midrange or a Super Friend deck.
Goldnight Castigator - I have been looking for a way to play this card in Mardu colors and I think I've found the best fit. I am naturally a midrange player and this card reminds me of the VERY aggressive Butcher of the Horde only suck part is if I am facing burn decks I become less aggressive and may not play in a game one. Easily SB also between games.
Linvala, the Preserver - For play when Goldnight has hurt me or when I need that extra push for a win.
Sin Prodder - Love this card for the fact that it is not a suck devil and helps me speed through my deck. Opponent will have make a decision between giving me one of my creatures or planeswalkers or taking at least 4 to the face. If they get rid of a land I have another card type in my graveyard to trigger Delirium.
PLANESWALKER:
Gideon, Ally of Zendikar - Oh how I miss the days of dropping Butcher of the Horde then Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker I have pretty much done the same thing with Gideon and Goldnight Castigator. Except in this scenario I would like Gideon to drop T4 and Castigator T5. Also produces tokens :)
Nahiri, the Harbinger - I love MADNESS and Nahiri brings the madness. Also a T5 is best to play her then she pops directly to 6? Pretty hard to remove in midrange.
Sorin, Grim Nemesis - Lets say I have to play to you until Sorin arrives. He does not like losing. If he is on the field more than 1 turn he becomes an easy game winner.
Thank you ahead of time for your help. All suggestions are welcomed and I will provide SB description at a later time once I have sorted it out correctly.
