I have decided to put together a deck where all but 3 cards are able to be cast at instant speed. Meaning a lot of the time it is a case of 'draw, go' to keep my opponents guessing and on their feet.
The Creature Suite
Torrential Gearhulk - I absolutely love this card. It's fantastic, can flashback 20 of my cards so can get me card draw, removal or counter depending on what I need, so a very flexible card. Also a 5/6 body that can smash in for lots of damage late game.
Spell Queller - flash enabled, and can give great tempo by buying time, also can apply pressure to opponents planeswalkers, if they resolve.
Archangel Avacyn
- Solid flash 5-drop, protecting my spell quellers from board wipes or unfavourable blocks. Also a strong evasive body.
The Instant Suite
Summary Dismissal - One of the best counters I have got vs cast effects like Emrakul's taking turns, World Breaker's destroy target land or even opponents Elder-Deep Fiends.
Negate - Solid two drop counter to stop early game planeswalkers like Liliana and Gideon.
Stasis Snare - Exile removal that isn't an instant. Even the enchantments have flash!!
Blessed Alliance - Again I like cards that give me options, sacrifice creatures or gain life will be my main choices.
Void Shatter - another counter spell. Works well against Emrakul/Delirium decks as exiles rather than graveyards cards.
Skywhaler's Shot - Premium Removal spell, it's relatively cheap, takes care of big bodies like Gearhulks and also the scry smooths out my draws.
Immolating Glare - similar to Blessed Alliance but can actually target rather than sacrifice and is only two mana.
Glimmer of Genius - the card draw in the deck. Yes it's quite a high mana cost, however scry 2 and draw 2 is brilliant at instant speed. Can also be flashed back if I have nothing better to do with my Gearhulks.
The Non Instant Suite
Fumigate - mass removal and gain life. What more do I need in a late game control deck? It is weak against Selfless Spirit, however I have plenty of other removal to take them out early game.
Dovin Baan - a good PW for the deck. Wasn't sure whether to include him of Jace, Unraveler of Secrets. Need to test with both.
This is a fun deck I anticipate taking to FNM and have swapped from my previous deck Summoning Metal.
I'm unsure what's gonna go in the sideboard, I do however have a few options already. But any additional suggestions for sideboard (or mainboard for the matter) are more than welcome.
As with any deck I put together I appreciate feedback for improvements. So please give me heaps and heaps of development for this deck.
