imposing soverign seems really bad in this deck. blind obedience is in a similar vein.counterflux is considered far better than render silent

your lack of sphinx's revelation surprises me!?

Sphinx's Revelation is a great card, but i they are a little expensive. i also have a play set of Stormbreath Dragon and am already at 63 cards for this deck so i will leave it out for now. I am still contemplating if i should use Imposing Sovereign or Omenspeaker for this deck. If you think Imposing Sovereign is bad in this deck then what do you think i should use that is better?

You're a control deck, that comes above all. the purpose of omen speaker is to hold off the initial 1/2drop, so that you can verdict. you already play so much removal, you will likely not die in the first couple turns of the mono red matchup. if you are at 63 cards just cut them outright. silence is another card you will want to cut, it's good for TES storm in legacy. but VERY bad in standard

also, rev is more than likely the best card you can put into this deck. so investing in a playset would be wise

you're probably right. i will try to get 2 for this deck and see if they help.

They will assuredly help, assuming you mana base can handle it. BTW how strong is it? you're casting anger of the gods in a deck that also runs supreme verdict. how has that been working?

oh ya, having the deck be 60 cards also tends to help.

the 3 extra cards don't show a very big difference in game play. The Anger of the Gods works quite well if i am matched up with any type of aggro deck it tends to help to have 2 more "boards wipes" in the deck before i side over 2 more. if i am playing a slower midrange deck they usually aren't needed, but can still serve a purpose. then, they are sided out for something more useful like Detention Sphere , maybe Wear / Tear , or Council of the Absolute

There is a reason why people don't play more than 60 cards, there are some cards in your deck that are better than others, so having the highest chance to draw those super powerful cards--sphinx's revelation-- is very important. it's not that it will hamper gameplay severely, it's just a free way to make your deck better.

PS: out of all your tournaments with this deck, how many times have you boarded in wear/tear?

PSS: are you consistently able to cast anger on t3 and verdict on t4?

I just added Wear / Tear to sideboard, because i have no way of getting rid of enchantments/artifacts that could be useful against this deck other than Detention Sphere , that's my only answer really. Detention Sphere or Pithing Needle can hurt. Most of the time i am never color screwed with my mana. Only once i played an entire game with only one red source, but other than that i can usually play Anger of the Gods or Supreme Verdict turn 3 & 4 no problem if i have them in hand. I guess it was just bad shuffling that one time. Also, i understand having 60 cards is better so you can draw into what you need faster, except i dont really know what to take out that would make it better. got any suggestions? And thanks for the comments and help!

I would cut blind obedience, it was on occasion good at mitigation the damage hellkite and hellrider could do. but now it only really stalls dragon, something that not alot of decks are playing. I personally don't like wear and tear, mainly due to the fact that the most targets it will usually have, in any given matchup, is 0-3. and most of the time it will be hitting DT sphere, something that really si just a 1-1 piece of removal.

OK. I took in your consideration to drop some cards, so how does it look now? Better? Worse? let me know. thanks.

I have decided to just stick with 63 cards for now. i changed the deck a tiny bit to be 60 cards and play tested it, and it didn't do very well it seemed like. It has been working fine the way it was so i am going to keep it that way.

Do not forget that chance always affects games. the logic that I use for cutting cards to bring the deck to 60, is that it has long been established, and completely undisputed among the pro community, that having 60 cards is better than 61+. because there will always be a "worst card" in the deck. I simply identify that, as blind obedience.
