This is my FNM Orzhov deck. Any feedback is appreciated. My meta is full of aggro so my deck is slightly tuned to deal with the amount of Fire Deck Wins! and White Weenie that I play against. I only lost to a U/B control played by a 15 year magic veteran running like 10 counters. Basically my strat for this deck is to control the board with Devour Flesh and Hero's Downfall and to take out goodies with hand destruction before they become a threat until turn 5. Turn 5 is the point of no return. If the opponent has not beaten me by turn 5 I win 9/10 times. With the combination of Blood Baron, Obzedat, and Elspeth, it requires the right combination of control spells in order for an opponent to reestablish control of the game. Whip of Erebos is in the mix to help whip back in destroyed creatures and also Obzedat, Ghost Council is whipped back in permanently. The extra lifelink for the guys that don't already have it is nice too.
