Sorcery (1)


It's a Superfriends deck, but I like marvel, so in my head-canon Oloro is kind of the Coulson of the group that brings the group together.

There are quite a few different things this deck can do, I'll try to break down some of the more important/powerful combos that you should know about.

We're playing a lot of planeswalkers, these cards are pretty important to the deck, as it makes our most powerful cards even more powerful.
I know there are playgroups that hate infinite combos. I do not play in one of those playgroups. Therefore, this deck is designed to go infinite in many different ways.
More than just counter-spells, this deck can and will eventually lock down the board to keep your opponent(s) from being able to get any sort of position on the field.
  • Silent Arbiter + Kor Haven: Is your deck creature based? Oh, that's too bad...

  • Elspeth, Knight-Errant's emblem + Nevinyrral's Disk = Nobody can recoup from this. Nobody.
  • Nevinyrral's Disk + Academy Ruins = Same as above.
  • Venser, the Sojourner + Archaeomancer = You can use this for a counterspell, a tutor, removal, or card draw. Coupled with a Wrath of God, Supreme Verdict, or Cyclonic Rift it's devestating.
  • Counterbalance+ Sensei's Divining Top = Countertop. It's usually a Commander staple, and it's here as well.
  • Jace Beleren + Consecrated Sphinx = Extra Card Draw
  • Drogskol Reaver + Oloro, Ageless Ascetic as my commander = Extra Card Draw
  • Oath of Jace + eventual board state = Let's you dig through your deck, finding cards you need/want to play.
  • Oath of Jace + Narset Transcendent = At worst, possible draw, with multiple 'walkers, guaranteed draw.
  • Narset Transcendent + Sensei's Divining Top = Guarantee a draw off Narset
  • Narset Transcendent + Jace, the Mind Sculptor = Guarantee a draw off Narset
  • Venser, the Sojourner + Liliana Vess = Control my first draw every turn

  • Venser is a beast, especially when there are plenty of things to have him play with.
  • Venser, the Sojourner + Archaeomancer = Spell recovery

  • Venser, the Sojourner + Detention Sphere = Move the Detention Sphere, really good against tokens
  • Venser, the Sojourner + Isochron Scepter = Change the old, outdated thing on the stick
  • Venser, the Sojourner + Dungeon Geists = Move the Dungeon Geists
  • Venser, the Sojourner + Basalt Monolith = Free untapping, saves 3 mana.

  • Isochron Scepter has a few different targets in this deck, here's a handy list.
  • Azorius Charm = Lifelink on whatever creatures we have is good, drawing cards is also good, and it can also be used for creature removal. Combined with Silent Arbiter, It's even better.

  • Cyclonic Rift = Bounce a creature, as above with Silent Arbiter, it's great.
  • Enlightened Tutor = Combined with Sensei's Divining Top, this lets you tutor whatever instant you need, when you need it.
  • Mystical Tutor = Same as above
  • Vampiric Tutor = Same as above
  • Path to Exile = Removal with a small bonus to the controller of the card removed.
  • Swords to Plowshares = Same as above
  • Remand = Repeatable counter

  • Rings of Brighthearth is a powerful card. In this deck, it can become immensely powerful. Here are some of its interactions. Remember, these effects cost 2 mana, and you can pay that cost multiple times.
  • Isochron Scepter = See list above for all possible outcomes.

  • Arcanis the Omnipotent = Draw 3 cards
  • The Chain Veil = Activate a planeswalker ability on every planeswalker you control as if you haven't this turn.
  • Kor Haven = Prevent combat damage from one creature this turn. Helpful if you don't have Silent Arbiter out.
  • Academy Ruins = Put artifacts from your graveyard on top of your library.
  • Contagion Engine = Proliferate twice.
  • Contagion Clasp = Proliferate.
  • Sensei's Divining Top = After using Sensei's draw ability, draw Sensei's top again
  • Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver = Exile top 3 cards of opponents library, or double the creature ability if the CMC is the same. Situational at best.
  • Dovin Baan = Target creature gets -3/-0, or gain 2 life and draw a card.
  • Elspeth, Sun's Champion = Get 3 1/1 soldiers,
  • Gideon, Champion of Justice = Put a lotalty counter on Gideon for every creature target opponent controls.
  • Jace Beleren = Draw a card, or everyone draws a card.
  • Jace, the Mind Sculptor = Scry 1 with an opponents library, brainstorm, or bounce a creature.
  • Jace, Unraveler of Secrets = Scry 1 then draw 1, or bounce a creature.
  • Liliana Vess = Target player Discards a card.
  • Narset Transcendent = Draw a noncreature, nonland card from the top of your library. Only worth it if you have prior knowledge of the top of the deck.
  • Sorin, Grim Nemesis = Reveal the top card of your library, then put it into your hand. Deal CMC damage to each opponent, or deal X damage to target creature or planeswalker, you gain X life.
  • Sorin, Lord of Innistrad = put a 1/1 lifelink vampire into the battlefield, or gain an emblem with creatures you control get +1/+0
  • Sorin Markov = Deal 2 damage to target creature or player and gain 2 life.
  • Sorin, Solemn Visitor = Creatures you control gain +1/+0 and Lifelink, or create a 2/2 Vampire with flying.
  • Tamiyo, the Moon Sage = Tap target permanent, it doesn't untap during your opponent's next turn, or draw a card for every tapped permanant your opponent controls.
  • Teferi, Temporal Archmage - Look at the top 2 cards of your library, one goes into your hand, the other on the bottom of your library, or untap 4 permanents.
  • Tezzeret the Seeker = Untap 2 artifacts, or Tutor for -x on tezz to find an artifact with cmc x or less.
  • Venser, the Sojourner = Bounce a permanant you own, it returns at the beginning of your end step.
  • This deck is fairly powerful. With a perfect hand it can win on turn 5, but it's not explicitly built to do that. It's a control deck, using planeswalkers to force your opponents to either divert their attention or suffer the consequences. Typically your first few planeswalkers will die before you end up with a superior board position.

    Let me know what you think of the deck, or any issues that might come up in play. I tried to keep the mana base fairly inexpensive, considering the price of most planeswalkers.
