I would think that Brave the Elements has less opportunity cost possibly. Also possibly a sideboard card for 'clasm or anger.

What do you think about Imposing Sovereign or Blind Obedience ? Personally I think Blind Obedience could see play, since it slows down the robot decks and aggro.

But what do you think fluffybunnypants?

Blind Obedience and Imposing Sovereign also shut down Twin. But for that Blind Obedience is better since it can't be bolted.

There is a huge lack of Leonin Arbiter , which is one of the best hatebears out there. Path becomes 1 mana exile target creature no drawback, Ghost Quarter becomes Strip Mine , Fetches cost 2 mana to use, etc.

As Potato said, Leonin Arbiter is essential. Along with him, Aven Mindcensor is brutal.

Voice of Resurgence is also fantastic versus anything with U (aka all of Modern, sans Pod).

Some folks, myself included, like 1 or 2 Restoration Angel for the extra utility.

I would consider some Swords, at least sideboarded. I use Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of Light and Shadow when I do these types of decks, because both really pick up the power late game.

Best of luck!

Dryad Militant is awesome for shutting off Snapcaster Mage / Past in Flames .

Ethersworn Canonist destroys storm. They only run like 2 bolts and have no other way to interact with it. It's solid against Affinity as well.

As Jay said Voice of Resurgence is fantastic.

Loxodon Smiter is reasonable with Lili around.

Wilt-Leaf Liege also sees some play in bears to pump the bears and it's resistant to lili.

Spellskite is absolutely dominating in some match-ups

Phyrexian Revoker same as above.

I prefer Sword of War and Peace and Sword of Fire and Ice to Sword of Feast and Famine .

If you can afford it Noble Hierarch is so much better than Birds of Paradise .

I wish I could run Heirarch, but money is kind of an issue unless I sell/trade other cards I have, but most cards I am trading to make this deck. So yeah.

Thanks for the help guys :D I may pick up Voice of Resurgence and figure out some other things with the suggested cards :D

Sword of War and Peace is fantastic if you see a lot of Zoo. Punches through most of their big guys and widens the life-gap.

Magiclover318 says... #8

I don't have Zoo at my lgs I don't believe, a lot of control though, like every match I played at the GPT at my lgs was against control.

Then use Sword of Fire and Ice to get past Snap/Cryptic/Bolt

April 17, 2014 2:08 p.m.

My policy with swords: run both.

Go 1 of Fire and Ice, 1 Light and Shadow, 1 War and Peace.

That way you're prepared for everything!

So run 3? I love fire and ice, but is that a mainboard card? Are swords mainboarded? Cause I am unsure what I would remove for them.

April 17, 2014 2:16 p.m.

Jay says... #12

I would mainboard 2. Usually when I do 3 I get them too early. Maybe remove 2 Sublime Archangel ? They both serve to close out the game.

April 17, 2014 2:18 p.m.

Magiclover318 says... #13

Okay, that works :D So one fire and ice? or two? if one, what other sword?

April 17, 2014 2:20 p.m.

Jay says... #14

1 F&F for sure, and then one of the other 3 depending on your meta. If it's neutral, I would go Light and Shadow to recycle your guys and protect from almost all removal.

Magiclover318 says... #15

Okay, sounds good :D Thanks!

You probably want some Burrenton Forge-Tender s in the SB. It's generally the best anti-burn/anti-red sweeper card.

April 17, 2014 2:34 p.m.

Magiclover318 says... #17

Yeah, that's an interesting card... Shut's Grapeshot down?

April 17, 2014 2:47 p.m.

Blakkhand says... #18

Sadly no, as each copy of Grapeshot counts as a separate source. Its main purposes are stopping Pyroclasm s and Anger of the Gods ', while also being a huge hate card against burn.

April 17, 2014 2:53 p.m.

Magiclover318 says... #19

Oh okay, haha well its good to know, those are frustrating cards to deal with.

April 17, 2014 2:54 p.m.

Blakkhand says... #20

Yeah, if you want to beat storm you probably want Ethersworn Canonist or Rule of Law .

April 17, 2014 3:07 p.m.

Magiclover318 says... #21

Well I have a few cards sideboarded for storm, So I am not worried about that.

Maybe take out he 2 Sublime Archangel s for 2 Voice of Resurgence because unless the archangels do a really great job in here i don't see them being as useful as the voices.

April 22, 2014 1:09 p.m.

Magiclover318 says... #23

Sublime Archangel is amazing in this deck, she buffs up creatures so much.i don't know what I gotta take out yet, I'm still thinking :/ but she is staying in haha

April 22, 2014 1:33 p.m.

Hjaltrohir says... #24

ok, I dont have much experience playing her so i didnt know. maybe 1 pridemage and 1 grand abolisher?

April 22, 2014 1:35 p.m.

Magiclover318 says... #25

That's what I was thinking too haha weird. Okay I will try that :D thanks man!
