I really like seeing this, as I am attempting to build something similar. Have you thought of Gift of Immortality for entry effects advantage? Using Cartel Aristocrat as a sac outlet you can maximize the entry effect bullshit of this deck. Once it gets going, your opponent no longer has a hand, and possibly suffering from Gray Merchant of Asphodel entry effects EVERY turn, which will quickly end the game.

That idea has merit as a 1 of, however this deck is designed as part of a two headed giant team and with the amount of counterspells/removal you're up against it would be hard to resolve the aura successfully I think.

If I WERE To include the enchantment as a one of, what would you remove?

I like it, how is it's consistency?

I'd remove a guildgate. The consistency of having 24 lands, 8 or 9 of which being dual, and Lili's fetch ability you'll almost always have the mana you need.

It's been pretty good so far in playtesting on here, however it's part of a two headed giant team so I won't know until January when the next THG tournament is scheduled at my LGS.

@GreyFawkes: Would you replace it with a different land? another Mutavault perhaps? Or another piece of removal like Devour Flesh ?

Seems a lot more consistent with the change thanks guys!

Sanguine Bond in sb to be a dick hahaWhat will your partner be playing?

I had thought about the infinite loop between that and and the 2 drop guildmage, however I couldn't find room haha.

THIS is actually what my partner will be playing...I'm designing both decks. My deck is linked above but for easy reference it's: Grixis Control (for 2HG)

If you're worried about hexproof, then more than likely there will be life gain going on. That being said, Skullcrack on sideboard for the grixis deck

There is no sideboarding for Two Headed Giant...it's one game winner take all. Round time is the same as normal (usually 50 minutes), but it's best of 1 since THG games can go on a long time

Oh wow. I didn't realize that. In my meta we do 2 out of 3 hah

Really? How long do your matches go for? 2HG games usually take longer due to more players making decisions etc

They usually last around an hour or so. I think were going to start doing timed rounds to get everyone better at critical thinking. Mostly for fun, but it would be the exact same as chess.

Yeah we do a two headed giant standard tournament once a month for FNM. It is a 1 game round each round for 50 minutes. Seems to work well and doesn't force the night into the wee hours of the morning lol

Updated deck to reflect current "tweaks" that I've made.

I think Blood Baron of Vizkopa would be good here. this is my orzhov devotion deck. mybe it will give you some ideas.

What would you take out for Blood Baron of Vizkopa ? I am having a hard time in finding room for it

I would remove 1 Sin Collector and 1 liliana if you are gonna put 2 in. if you are only putting one in, id just remove the collector

Ok thanks for the input!

Your partners deck will ruin your devotion with verdict. I would try to run this with mono red devotion. WIth Fanatic of Mogis.

Your argument is invalid for the same reason as running monored would it? Even more so as this deck runs things like Whip of Erebos and Underworld Connections to add to black devotion whereas red runs mostly creatures...
