Arbiter of the Ideal

8/8

Infest holds the place of Drown in Sorrow:

Arbiter of the Ideal

1BB

Sorcery

All creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. Scry 1.


Deck Strategy:

The idea of this deck is to use scry power to look for a Tromokratis and get it out with an Arbiter of the Ideal. Pain Seer is here to look through the library faster and scrying makes sure I only hit lands with it. Before then, I need to stall with Drown in Sorrow and Shrivel .


Card Breakdown:

Main Deck

Aqueous Form : When enchanting Pain Seer , it eliminates risk of Pain Seer dying and also scrys. However, it hasn't done well in playtests.

Dissolve: Counters any spell and scrys. A pretty solid inclusion.

Hero's Downfall: Something needs to kill those pesky planeswalkers and Hero's Downfall got the job. Can also kill creatures.

Hidden Strings: Untaps inspired cards and ramps up to a Tromokrasis. Not particularly good, but not bad.

Infest / Drown in Sorrow: Wipes all the early creatures AND scrys for finishers.

Pain Seer : Draws through the deck and scrying allows it to hit a land almost every time, nullifying the drawback.

Springleaf Drum : Good for getting double black or blue, and allows me to tap Pain Seer without attacking.

Triton Shorethief / Arbiter of the Ideal: Fits along with the theme, swings for 4, and cheats out Tromokrasis.

Vizzerdrix / Tromokrasis: The main finisher. The same practical mana cost as AEtherling and also has "hexproof". Swings for 8 basically every turn after it comes out.

Voyage's End: Stalls and scrys.

Sideboard

Doomblade: Good, hard, spot removal.

Pithing Needle: For those annoying combo decks or planeswalkers.

Shrivel : The bane of agro.

Supreme Verdict: More board wipers after Drown in Sorrow, and I can cast it with Springleaf Drum or Temple of Silence.

Syncopate: Counts many spells for 1U if the opponent doesn't leave a mana open.
