Do you think that Bojuka Bog could have a place in either the main board or side board? It produces black which seems to be a fairly important in the deck, hoses graveyard strategies, and provides food for your processors.

+1 from me, by the way. Love the idea!

My mana base doesn't really have room for it supermill ... if I didn't splash green I might have room. It's a good suggestion though.

I like how Gaddock Teeg only affects your Gideons and Engineered Explosives.

noticed you didnt have it

I don't take alters of other languages DERPLINGSUPREME, alters on here should be in English.

I also have it, in my files. I haven't added quite a few alters yet.

Very kewl :) Sort of sad that no other processors are out there, but whatever.

Is there a specific reason that you're not running any blink effects? Something just as simple as 2x Restoration Angel looks like it might be worth it, taking out one Sigarda and one Gideon. It just seems that you're getting close to no value out of the snakes and processors if you only use them once. Also, couldn't help but looking at the other processors, the only other one that seemed useful was Blight Herder. A bit expensive, but 7 power on 4 bodies is not bad for , and if you put the angels in, you get even more value. Not to mention the colorless cost and the fact that you can ramp some.

how do you add in alters exactly?

What can Blight Herder do that Gideon, Ally of Zendikar doesn't do? Gideon generates a 2/2 token as soon as turn 4 and swings for 5 indestructible on turn 5 whereas Blight Herder swings for 4 on turn six and can easily be Terminated. Not too mention that the 2/2 token will more easily trade with an opposing creature than 1/1 tokens will.

Restoration Angel, I will however take good consideration into. I have a feeling that they might just replace Sigarda entirely, depends on how things play out. I might be able to run a Bojuka Bog if I run Restoration Angel.

Click on your folder icon godofcruelty, and click on the alters button.

I'm going to suggest Stoic Angel as a 1-2 of because it is a moderately early drop that will allow you to prevent your opponents from swinging wide. The ability won't bother you unduly because of the low amount of creatures you already run. I understand no inherent protection can be a problem. That is the only issue I see with it.

Definitely a good suggestion. Will have to test that out along with Restoration Angel.

Awesome. Good luck!

Testing Changes:

Removed:

• 1x Painful Truths
• 2x Sigarda, Host of Herons

Added:

• 2x Restoration Angel
• 1x Stoic Angel

Also tagging xzzane for the current build, and FAMOUSWATERMELON for thoughts on the Stoic Angel.

I mean, it's a fine answer to aggro I guess, but it doesn't really hold up against other matchups. Tron doesn't need more than one Emrakul (and they use walkers anyways), control will swing with Colonnade over and over, it won't last a turn against Jund/Junk. If the Angel had lifelink, then I would be totally sold, but as it stands, all it does is slow down one matchup without really winning it for you. The aggro concern is definitely valid, I'm just not sure it's the best answer you have available. But if it's working for you, I trust your judgment, I haven't tested this deck much.

Cool deck, here's a recent discussion on the archetype.

+1!

Well, you do have to remember that aggro is particularly my weakest match-up. And it is fairly resilient in terms of common removal, as a one of I don't think I'll have any troubles with using it. But I am just testing it out to see how it works. The mana cost on a non-flash creature is pretty hefty.

Not to mention that you have an extremely packed 4-drop slot.

shrugs The 4 mana slot is hefty because my 3 mana is light. I like to play a man-land on turn 3 (I do have 5 of them) so the curve evens out quite nicely for me. Basically 4 mana is when my mana base is pretty much solid to cast a Mystic Snake or Gideon, Ally of Zendikar on the 4th turn.

Can you prove that this deck is competitive?

It's built with competitive in mind Davik100. If you want Tiered ranking decks, go to mtgtop8.

Dammit, Gaddock Teeg doubled in price, adding an unnecessary $35 to this deck's price >.>

With competitive in mind, especially since this is a control deck, I have a hard time believing that this will get anywhere without the usage of Wasteland Strangler, let alone Abrupt Decay itself, which is premium removal in its purest form.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but the general consensus for modern seems to be that turn four is the turn where something needs to happen. Unless you're on the play (and even if you are), Mystic Snake and Ulamog's Nullifier do not look like strong turn four plays.

Another thing that many people have come to the conclusion of is that Spell Snare is not very well worth its spot in the mainboard, and people would rather run Dispel or Spell Pierce. Negate looks like a strict mainboard downgrade from Mana Leak. A narrow hard counter doesn't outclass a conditional counter with a wider variety. Negate is good in the late game anyways, and you're already supposed to be good there in the first place. Leak is more important and much better early on.

Your win conditions are also weaker than they should be. Stoic Angel is essentially a strict downgrade from a boardwipe, such as Supreme Verdict. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar also doesn't seem to fit the role of a controlling win condition. OG Gideon suits that role much better. Not to mention that neither of those are very powerful turn four plays on their own.

Moving on to your mana, your reasoning for not playing abrupt decay is not a good one. Cutting Shambling Vent, the worst man land in your deck, makes plenty of room for 3 copies of Verdant Catacombs or Misty Rainforest. It would also be a good idea to make room for a basic forest and at least one Overgrown Tomb. Abrupt Decay is that good. It would also be your best mainboard answer to a Blood Moon, besides Negate, which shouldn't even be in the mainboard in the first place.

My favorite card in your deck though is the sideboard Sanctimony. I've never known of that card until now, and it seems more fun than Dragon's Claw, but I wouldn't know.

Also, I know where to go for top tier decks, I didn't ask for directions, nor did I suggest that I was looking for them. I very clearly asked if you can prove that it is competitive. The competitive tag is for competitive decks. I can slap the tag on any random pile of jank and say that it has competition in mind, but that proves nothing as to whether it is competitive or not. So my question remains unanswered.

And here we go again Femme. But this time I'll keep it shut :)

@Femme_Fatale I would like to apologize on part on the low-life sickoffenses who keep picking on your competitive labled decks.

I can't even remember if this is the same guy either.... so forgettable, whoever he is.

@Davik100 - I'm tagging you because I want you to answer. Message me on my wall if you prefer. Is your opinion strictly that nothing can be considered competitive unless it is proven in the current modern meta? How do you think these things were proven in the first place? By people like Femme trying things out of the box and putting the time in TOO test them. So my question is, how are new strategies to be developed and tested if they are shut down and not met with support and valid suggestions other than: this is proven and you have to do this?
