This deck is my attempt to upgrade the deck that "SaffronOlive" made for budget magic on MTGgoldfish.comCheck out the site because they are always doing great magic related resources that are unique and wont be found elsewhere.
While several of these cards don't seem to really win the game (see citadel seige) the goal of this deck is to simply lock up every creature they play and hold the board until one of my win-cons give me the game.
The main win-con is to mill with draw triggers and Sphinx's Tutelage. With the help of my enchantments, I can often live long enough to mill the entire deck.
My deck has a second win condition in Sigil of the Empty Throne. The purpose of it is to try and create a stone wall of angels that block anyone attacking...but if they have no fliers, it can also swing for game once I have 4+ angels.
One of the biggest strengths of this deck is that it has no non-token creatures. This allows me to effectively bypass every creature removal that this meta is so full of. Against one player, they left a
Ruinious Path
in their maindeck because their plan was to awaken it targeting one of their own guys. When that is the best sideboarding a person can do, you know you've got a good anti-meta deck.
The main form of enchantment removal in standard is Artarka's Command and no one really even plays it.
Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Utter End are about all I worry about...and only Ulamog can't be countered, for the other two there is Negate. With nearly every dack having very little answers to my plan, I'm fairly anti-meta.
