Just Die (Standard MTG Deck)

Essentially the goal is to maintain a clear board with removal while getting my mana up to dropping Grave Titan, Sunblast Angel , or Entreat the Angels (Wouldn't mind changing this to some other white bomb). It should be noted I won't be putting Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in this deck because she's too expensive for me to go out and get/trade for just so she can rotate out.

Sorin, Lord of Innistrad let's me disrupt and gain life through the lifelink vamps. His ultimate is also fun. His emblem(s) allow me to buff the zombies that Grave Titan produces.

Liliana of the Veil helps with creature removal and fills in the 3 slot with Oblivion Ring.

Sever the Bloodline destroys token decks and works around their Stony Silence that is run against the usual Ratchet Bomb, and acts as general removal otherwise.

3x Surgical Extraction in the side means against control matchups I can just get rid of their counter magic.

Gut Shot is for popping mana dorks, delver, champion, etc.

Trying out Gideon Jura over Sunblast Angel but money.

Entreat the Angels in side against control matchups so I have more threats to bring to the table.

I fucking love Pristine Talisman in my 3 drop slot so much. I was having trouble sometimes hitting my t5/6 land drop, and this is really helping. Plus lifegain.

Played at the fnm at my lgs, played against Wolf Run. Non-targeting removal was definitely the star. Being able to knock off Dungrove Elder with Tribute to Hunger feels amazing. :P I primarily lost the match up because of play mistakes. Went 1-2 against it. I tried out Barter in Blood, but I don't think it's worth the BB casting cost, in addition to it taking up a spot in my curve next to the opposing WW Day of Judgment. Going to try out 1 Black Sun's Zenith and 1 Terminus as alternate board wipes. Might go to 2 Terminus depending on testing and how prevalent zombies are at whatever meta I take this to. -1 Surgical Extraction +1 Nihil Spellbomb in sideboard because I felt like 4 Surgical was too much and cantrip+graveyard blowout is nice, especially since Lingering Souls is so popular. I think solar flare is also run at the card shop I'll be playing at next anyway.
