It went 3-1 last Friday (09/27/2013). I didn't have the entire deck complete last Friday either, but still ended up getting 2nd place. The game I lost was against an Esper control deck. the whole game was a lot of "Land for the turn. Pass". He milled me out with Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver , because she exiled my answers before I drew them.I sided 2 Pithing Needle & 3 Renounce the Guilds for Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver & Obzedat, Ghost Council . I never saw one of them. Overall i annihilated rush down with board wipes and spot control, and other midgame decks were to slow and just gave me extra time to counter everything they played. And/or kill it.

I kinda like Boros Charm in such decks, when you're playing against removal yourself, or to protect your own creatures against a verdict. But it is more of a win-more/trolling thing, I guess. :)

I kinda don't like the Omenspeaker , but can see the point playing a early creature to block fast decks, before they're overruning you. But is Imposing Sovereign maybe not a better idear? He can't scry, yeah, but he is nice against those annoying RDW early haste mobs.

Another sideboard option maybe could be Council of the Absolute .Which prevents opponents AEtherling or Sphinx's Revelation or can even kill this new Purphoros, God of the Forge / Assemble the Legion combodeck.

I think Glare of Heresy and Annul are great cards, but not in this decks sideboard, for the things Annul does you have counterspells or removal and Glare of Heresy is mainly against Voice of Resurgence but Anger of the Gods does the samething way better. :P

And sadly you can't target Obzedat, Ghost Council with it. Better add an Anger of the Gods and something else you wanted to sideboard, but couldn't yet. ;)

Thanks for the in put. I'm not to good with making sideboards, so i appreciate the help. Council of the Absolute totally slipped my mind. Yes he would be quiet useful in the side board. Anger of the Gods is an amazing card i know. I will try to get 1 or 2 more for the board. Imposing Sovereign is also a great card, and i do own 2 of them so i will throw them in and take Omenspeaker out for this weeks FNM. only thing i don't like about Boros Charm is the 4 damage straight to their face is great, but the other abilities are iffy since i don't have that many creatures in this deck obviously. I will test a few things with them and see if they are worth it thanks for the help!

As mentioned, Boros Charm is more playing around, since it's not really needed but the indestructible part is for permanents, which is nice against Hero's Downfall or enchantment removal.

I say thanks for appricating my tips. ;)

Wish you good luck at your FNM!

Hunga, I think you have some good ideas but I don't think Council of the Absolute works on creatures. So AEtherling could not be a target for it. Also Glare of Heresy would work on Obzedat, Ghost Council unless I missed something. He is at least white. Aside from that, so long as you exile him before their end step with Glare of Heresy they cannot put his trigger up causing him to exile because your exile would have taken care of him already.

Glare of Heresy is no instant, so the Obzedat, Ghost Council will be "phased" away in safety. And Glare of Heresy is no instant!

Okay, Council of the Absolute is not good against creatures, but helps taking out a counter of opponents in mirrors.Where banning a Planeswalker or removal, or counter could be crucial. ;)

It seems pretty good. I hope my USA control build does better this time. I think I have it right for the way I want things to role. I changed my win conditions up from yours with a playset of Warleader's Helix . My deck has a few less creatures and few more spells. I am not sure how much your creatures do you justice. I will try to let people know how I do at FNM this week.

Sinobite says... #16

You are absolutely right Hunga. Perhaps a couple Quicken s + Glare of Heresy . I know that's two cards but I am sure an opponents turn Quicken + Anger of the Gods could be a thing too. Renounce the Guilds when playing Detention Sphere could jam you up on what you need to remove.

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!?

October 6, 2013 11:40 p.m.

SovietPuma says... #19

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

October 7, 2013 10:35 a.m.

archerylizard says... #21

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

October 7, 2013 10:37 a.m.

SovietPuma says... #22

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

October 7, 2013 4:18 p.m.

archerylizard says... #23

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?

October 8, 2013 1:08 a.m.

archerylizard says... #24

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

October 8, 2013 1:12 a.m.

SovietPuma says... #25

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
