Not my mainboard (Cudos to Darby and whoever built it) But I did make some changes to the side to fit the meta of my FNM (which includes either G/R Monsters or W/U Control, almost an annoying absence of MBD or MUD). The deck is wildly fun to play, and I was looking for something to use my
Sylvan Primordial
s since they got banned from Commander. Here's the Breakdown:
White:Angel of Serenity- Against Token generation of any kind, this is a boardwipe. Useful to brin back sylvan caryatids that have been Devour Fleshed or Supreme Verdicted.Also fun to link Angels by targeting another copy in your grave.
Chained to the Rocks- Because I don't have another Detention Sphere.
Glare of Heresy
- Because I'm the only one allowed to have a Detention Shere.
Blind Obedience- Kinda hard to attack with those hasty guys when they enter tapped. Extort is also fairly relevant.
Blue:Divination- I simultaneously miss
Think Twice
and love the new art for this card. Cheap drawing is needed against anything that plays Thoughtseize.
Jace, Architect of Thought
- I now see why blue players like this guy as a 4 of. i have repeatedly sacced this guy to use his -2, only to reveal another off the top, and -2 all over again. Good day: free Divination that gives you card choice and attracts damage. Bad day: +1 to lessen the blow that you're about to take. seems decent.
Cyclonic Rift- Almost Like Supreme Verdict, but for tokens.
AEtherling: unkillable win condition with the amount of mana this deck produces.
Black:Doom Blade- for various problem creatures
Red: Mizzium Mortars- for any card named Blood Baron of Vizkopa
Green:Sylvan Caryatid- Love sooo much when the new player tries to target and i get to wave my finger at them, and when you can accelerate like this deck does, 3 life late game from a Devour Flesh is fine by me.
Axebane Guardian- RTR limited all-star is back for more, and 8 defenders in the deck can result in some pretty stupid amounts of mana. 2 of these dudes on board resulted in a
Rakdos's Return
for 19 a little while back. super fun card.
Sylvan Primordial
- Caryatid's big bro is here to play, and anyone who played EDH when this guy was legal know how annoying it can be. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for them results in a Forest for me. Off on colors? Now more than ever. 6/8 Reach is nothing to sneeze at either,
Multicolored:
Sphinx's Revelation
- Draw X cards, gain X life. Instant speed. Nuff said.
Rakdos's Return
- The anti-Rev, this one needs a little bit more explaining. When you have a deck made to make X a very stupid number, you need to make the smart play with this card. It is planeswalker removal first, damage to the dome later. Kill the Domri Rade first, unless you can kill your opponent that turn. Lowering their life total to anything but 0 is in vain if you are dead next time they untap.
Detention Sphere- Very nice if you're on the turn three play right after your opponent linked
Burning-Tree Emissary
, and good on game 2 for Ratchet Bomb or Pithing Needle.
Supreme Verdict- Nice when the G/R monster's player commits to the board when they're still trying to figure out exactly what you're playing. Game 2 is hilarious because you can just
Golgari Charm
and wipe their creatures.
Urban Evolution
-When you're clogged on lands, this is nice for some draw and to (hopefully) get some threats to deal with whatever's giving you trouble.
Blood Baron of Vizkopa- Detention Sphere? I'll pass. Chained to the Rocks? Nah. I'll be gaining life from turn 4 and on. have fun trying to keep up.
Warleader's Helix
- Lifegain in the form of a burn spell, if that makes any sense at all.
Golgari Charm
- Blows up D-Sphere, regens when a verdict hits, and gets rid of weenies.
Selesnya Charm
- Can you tell that I really don't like R/G moinsters yet?
Vraska the Unseen- The planeswalker that's good at killing Planeswalkers. Has never been ultimated in this deck, and doesn't need to be.
That's about it. I probably missed some things, so if you happen to encounter one of those instances, please make it apparent.
