Sideboard


BfZ is here! The eldrazis are devouring everything that we hold dear in Zendikar; from the lands to the deepest oceans all life are turned to dust. For now let us focus on defending the seas. Welcome to my Kiora Hentai Control!

Feel free to leave a comment and a +1 if you enjoyed the deck.

Kiora


Kiora, Master of the Depths has proven herself worthy in battling even against the god Thassa, God of the Sea and have stolen her bident. But will it be enough to stop the edrazi threat? Lets hope so as we go through her abilities:


+1 : Untap up to one target creature and up to one target land.

This is her ramp and protection spell. Have a beafy creature life Bounding Krasis or Sagu Mauler attack then untap to defend for you. She can also protect our Dragonlord Ojutai by keeping him untapped!


-2 : Reveal the top four cards of your library. You may put a creature card and/or a land card from among them into your hand. Put the rest into your graveyard.

At first glance it costs alot; but it should! You get to pick any creature and land card. Whats even crazy, she dumps the rest to the graveyard fueling our Dig Through Time. Expect a Ruinous Path from your opponent? Pop this immediately for a +2 card advantage.


-8 : You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may have it fight target creature." Then put three 8/8 blue Octopus creature tokens onto the battlefield.

Against any creature-based match up, this is pretty much gg. An ult that can kill 3 targets and possibly more targets too whenever you cast a behemoth.



Ojutai

The Creatures
  • Bounding Krasis
  • A good flash body. Surprise blocker, taps would be threats, an instant "protect" Ojutai, a sac fodder for Foul-Tongue Invocation shenanigans and can be your attacker (together with Lumbering Falls post board wipe from Ugin, the Spirit Dragon.
  • Woodland Wanderer
  • A 6/6 trample, vigilance creature for only 4 to cast? Sign me up a playset. It provides a solid attack/defense and can block nearly everything you see from an Abzan deck.
  • Dragonlord Ojutai
  • Dragon sensei. There are little answers to rid this dragon. As soon as he hits the board, the aggression stops. Can swing in for more card advantage and our Bounding Krasis and Kiora protects him too in that small window of him being tapped.
  • Sagu Mauler
  • Whats better than a 6/6 vigilance trample? A 6/6 trample with hexproof. Sagu needs to be answered with combat or some board wipe. Eldrazi scions chump blocking won't even stop this monster.
  • Clever Impersonator
  • Your swiss-army knife. The toolkit in your deck. You can steal an Ugin, Ob Nixilis or any other bomb they may drop, heck you can even copy their Silumgar and the two would have a staring contest forever.


Radiant Flames
The Spells
  • Sylvan Scrying
  • This is what keeps the deck together. The deck wants to reach 5 colors as fast as possible. Good thing Sylvan can search any land; from duals, tri-lands, heck it can even search out Blighted Fen for opposing Ojutai or Silumgar.
  • Dig Through Time
  • Constantly fill the board with threats and have more threats ready in hand with Dig Through Time. It can also search for answers as we have a good number of removals in the deck.
  • Radiant Flames
  • Hello Anger of the Gods . wipes out weenies and halts aggressive decks. You can even control the damage on Radiant Flames so to wipe only their side on the battlefield.
  • Exert Influence
  • Once you can produce 5 colored mana, you can control almost everything from Deathmist Raptor to Siege Rhino. What I like about it is Its a sorcery, once you control it, its yours forever. Forget Mind Control , they have to two-for-one you to rid of the threat they cast themselves.
  • Complete Disregard
  • Some early game removal. A great answer to Deathmist Raptor , Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  . Hangarback Walker and so on.
  • Sultai Charm
  • A flexible removal for creatures, artifacts or enchantments; I'm looking at you Sphinx's Tutelage. The Charm can also filter your hand, discarding cards that are useless against a particular match up.
  • Retreat to Kazandu
  • Aggressive decks can bring you down to the thin line between life and death. Siege Rhino's enter to battlefield ability can also whittle you down to an unhealthy state. Enter Retreat to Kazandu, its life gain to counter such tactics and the +1/+1 counter can make your creatures harder to combat too. It takes more than a pump spell to bring down your hexproof creatures!
