I recommend wingmate roc. Wins gamed and is nuts with sorin and abzan charm.

I second the roc. It can completely flip board positions.

-2 High Sentinels, need the sorin and elspeth, courser, 4 hero's downfall, -2 utter end, -2 murderous cut, -2 drown in sorrow

Also consider brimaz. Especially if you're trying aggro. High sentinels could be good with ajani. Also adds another flyer to swing with wingmate

Thoughtseize is more helpful than despise in mainboard, but despise can be helpful as sideboard against creature heavy decks.

Thank you for all the advice and feedback I've made some adjustments based on peoples responses, I will be playing this at FNM tomorrow so I'll write up how it went soon as I can.

Rakshasa deathdealer and fleecemane are good cards, you can interchange both depending on matchup. If you don't mind maybe you can also critique my decks :)

Plummet may help with those fliers, it's a two cost (1G) that destroys any flier and an instant

I would drop the last sentinel and a land for a couple Rakshasa Deathdealer s. Great early and late especially with tons of mana

Have you tried herald of torment? :)

Complexbullet says... #14

I originally had an aggro build using herald for granting flying to creatures and early pressure with evasion however I found if the games ran long they would kill me, -2 a turn from two heralds doesnt sound like much but mid-late game its a real bummer to be killed by your own creatures. I've added Master of the Feast to the maybe board for now simply because of its size and ability to block stormbreath but I may return to herald if I get another sorin and now I have two Wingmate Roc .

mmmdonuts says... #15

I think 3 wingmates are good :) yeah master or herald are better for more aggro but iIl probably try them soon.

Complexbullet says... #16

Nice, you'l have to let me know how it goes, and if you come up against constant Stormbreath Dragon s from every other deck :s

The only stormbreath I encountered in fnm was despised before it could be used :) wingmate then gg. What an amazing card. Sometimes I just side in my despise because our meta is creature heavy.

Tested out Rakshasa Deathdealer found it was useful on occasion at the start but less so by 6 mana as I would rather spend it casting removal/card draw and/or playing a bigger creature. New testing of -2 Rakshasa Deathdealer +1 Courser of Kruphix , +1 Brimaz, King of Oreskos .

In addition going to experiment with Spectra Ward instead of Elspeth, Sun's Champion

Try 2 - 3 brimaz :) it's always a pain for opponents

November 3, 2014 7:46 p.m.

Complexbullet says... #21

Yeah I was thinking that too, Ill sideboard the bow for now as it doesnt come into play much for a second brimaz.

November 4, 2014 6:39 p.m.

mmmdonuts says... #22

Right now I placed 2 heralds in my deck for bestow purposes. Will see how it goes in fnm this week.
