I'm trying to make a competitive deck, let me know what you think. I've been editing this deck trying to get it honed in and feel it's almost there. The idea is pretty simple, discard the opponents hand so that they can't do anything, remove any creatures that they happen to play in order to make way for Phyrexian Obliterator and Desecration Demon. I'll explain why I've chosen the cards that I have below.
Creatures
Phyrexian Obliterator- Monster of a card, that is sure to wreak havoc. Here as a beater. Also to put the game out of reach if it's blocked or I use Arena
Desecration Demon- Another beater that will either remove creatures or deal 6 damage.
Artifacts
The Rack- Another Wincon in case I am somehow unable to swing with my creatures. If I do my job, I should be able to deplete my opponents hand and get my beaters out.
Ensnaring Bridge- Makes sure that if I'm getting swung at, it's not by anything to big.
Whip of Erebos- helps me gain life lost from Thoughtseize or Phyrexian Arena or my opponent.
Instant
Terminate- 2 drop removal without the limitations that come with Doomblade or Go for the Throat. Also takes care of re generators.
Slaughter Pact- For if my back is ever against the wall and I'm in a jam.
Dismember- takes care of anything indestructible (*toughness 5 or less) and also is a possible 1 drop removal.
Enchantments
Phyrexian Arena- keeps my hand full
Sorcery
Thoughtseize- best discard card in the game. Can take care of any nonland care turn 1
Wrench Mind- 2 drop for 2 discarded cards. What more can I ask for?
Inquisition of Kozilek- Much like Thoughtseize can romve pretty much any card I will see in modern. or atleast removal or counter spells]]
Blightning- discards 2 cards while dealing 3 damage to a creature or player.
Lands
Blackcleave Cliffs/ Dragonskull Summit - source of red that should come in untapped.
Arena- Can honestly end the game with Phyrexian Obliterator. If my opponent is forced to sack permanents (which will most likely be lands. I gain a huge advantage. Also can remove creatures if desecration demon ends up being tapped
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx- Get's me mana for my devotion, which should be huge with Phyrexian Obliterator out.
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth- Makes sure I don't miss out on black mana when playing Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or Arena
Sideboard
Go for the Throat- In case i'm playing a black deck, so that I can replace Slaughter Pact
Bile Blight- takes care of token decks.
Funeral Charm- Provides all kinds of stuff, most importantly being instant speed discard which will help alleviate top decking. Also swamp walk is nice when Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is out.
Ghost Quarter- In case there is a cool land out there... I can't have that.
Rakdos Charm- Helps me with everything I struggle against. Takes care of swarm decks, which would suck. Takes care of artifacts, which I have no other way of getting rid of. And it takes care of graveyards, which I have no way of exiling other than this.
So that's it, tell me if you like it or don't. +1's are accepted and appreciated. Thanks
