How do you think i feel about the entire story unwinding? this is a funny ass deck though, +1 from me

I'd suggest cutting the Isolation Zones for Stasis Snares because efficiency's sake.
Looks good, +1 from me!

Triton do you think that not having Isolation Zones for enchantment removal be a problem?
In my meta there's at least 2 emchantment-heavy decks, so that's why I have them instead of Stasis Snare

Okay, thanks for the clarification TheHelvault! I should've followed my gut, since I knew Isolation Zone could hit enchantments, didn't know what your meta was like.

Your picture is Vryn Wingmare, but where is he in the deck?

Once Eldritch moon hits, Rogue's Passage is going to rotate out of standard. It's most recent printing was Origins so you'll need to replace that...

poopiepoopiepants1 I originally had 4x Vryn Wingmare instead of 4x Thalia, Heretic Cathar. I decided I like the art for Vryn Wingmare better XP
leon_bulminot No, Rogue's Passage is fine in here. What's in Standard?

ahhh!!!! I misunderstood the most current 3 rules...I thought it was sets. I thought they were done with the whole block thing??

Seeing the discussion between isolation zone/stasis snare above, may I recommend Quarantine Field? If you want to drop it for 4 mana, (exactly the same as Isolation Zone) it will hit not just enchantments, but any nonland permanent. Furthermore, if you draw it later in the game, it can hit 2 to 3 nonland permanents. Definitely worth it if you ask me :)

Never mind! I didnt even see the playset you already have of quarantine field. Ignore me aha.

"I hate Emrakul being on Innistrad.
Avacyn is Dead."
That was my exact reaction to these last two sets. They almost made me quit magic... Well this deck shines a little hope on standard in these dire times, and I will wait out the rotation where there is no SOI or EMN.
I love that this deck hates on wizards' ruination of the best set, Innistrad.
Easy +1 from me and one of my favourite deck flavours I have seen in a while. Regards, The Sardine a.k.a AnonymouSAvatar

I really love the idea but I wish it had some sort of planeswalker hate that is cheaper than Quarantine Field. If you were in B, Ruinous Path would have been a thing but alas.
God I hate planeswalkers so much.

"I hate Standard"
"Avacyn is dead"
Lmao did you hear what happened to Sorin Markov? XD Look up the MtG Story Campaign of Vengence if you haven't, totally got what he deserved XDD

I think 4x Quarantine Field is overdoing it. Removing a nonland permanent at sorcery speed for 4 mana is not that great. I'm also not sure on how well this deck would tax other decks. You're playing expensive/limited sorcery speed single removal spells in a format that is characterised by flooding the board with coco's and cost-effective. Cards like Center Soul and Dazzling Reflection are pretty bad therein. I would try a build that also runs white and focuses on more lock and control. Try Imprisoned in the Moon, Lunar Force, Sigarda's Aid etc.

blasphemale, there's a few things wrong with what you said.
Imprisoned in the Moon is also a 1-for-1, even though it's cheaper. Quarantine Field can not only target any non-land permanent, but it can get rid of multiple permanents (with a little more mana) and not provide the opponent with more mana. Plus, Imprisoned in the Moon is blue, and if I can keep this deck mono-white, my budget will be happier.
Lunar Force isn't a card yet.
I have no equipments for Sigarda's Aid, but if I did, I would have that in here, because it's a powerhouse.
Center Soul protects Gideon, Ally of Zendikar from spells like Ruinous Path, Roast, Murder, hell, even Imprisoned in the Moon and all the other removal spells in the format right now. Being my only win-con besides Sigil of the Empty Throne, I figured I should try to protect him.
Coax from the Blind Eternities is going to make Eldrazi decks really good. Not only do they not have to mainboard Eldrazi anymore, but they can pull them from Exile, too. Emrakul, the Promised End is going to be almost unstoppable. Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Kozilek, the Great Distortion can be slowed down by Dazzling Reflection, which also gains me life.
The only thing that I agree with you on is that half of the meta is Co-Co decks.
I appreciate the help though, even if it wasn't helpful

Lunar Force is okay, but I don't like it. Sure, it's a 3 cost enchantment that sac's for an uncounterable-counterspell, but it sits on the battlefield. It has to be sac'ed when your opponent casts a spell, even if it's a Sludge Crawler. If it was a "May" ability, I would consider it.

Choking Restraints is a new card from eldritch moon that stops cretures from attacking and can even exile them for a cost.

I wana face your deck with this deck just for the flavor of it. DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. I like it. Meta will be slower come kaladesh so this stands to stay in the format a while. Better than my deck will.
bretters says... #1
the new Thalia should be in this deck over vyrn wingmare. Your whole deck is non-creature spells so I don't know why you want to tax yourself so much . New Thalia stops haste and helps slow some of the opponents lands.
