I am looking for 4 more cards to round out the deck list, comment if you find any cards that I should put in or any ways I could switch up the side board and the main board.
Tier 1
The main goal of this deck is to get
Chalice of Life
out on the battlefield and flipped as quickly as possible. The best scenario, for me, is to have
Martyr of Sands
out on the first turn so that I can gain anywhere from 6-12 life on the second turn. Failing that I'll play Rest for the Weary which will get me up there in life.
Tier 2
Supporting cards like
Perimeter Captain
and Serra Ascendant aim to gain a few extra life and provide some extra bodies. And Serra Ascendant could be an alternative win condition if you just can't seem to draw
Chalice of Life
.
Tier 3
Cards in this tier are meant to stall the game to allow you to trigger
Chalice of Life
enough times to kill your opponent. These cards include Path to Exile
+
Safe Passage
+
Wall of Denial
. And Spell Pierce
+
Negate
are to counter any spells that would target
Chalice of Life
.
And finally, the side board
If you play a match against someone, where you win the first game, but when they sideboard in you completely get decimated, on game three take out
Chalice of Life
completely, and side in one more Serra Angel and the rest of the Negate
+
Spell Pierce
's. This will serve the purpose of making it so that your opponent will have a couple of completely useless cards in their deck, while you beat them down with Serra Angel's supported by Negate
+
Path to Exile
+
Spell Pierce
, Wall of Denial, and some extra life. When you side in the extra Spell Pierce
+
Negate
's also put in an island for a plains, to compensate for the extra blue mana symbols. I would side in Unwinding Clock against TRON, because you might be able to get in that 5 damage with
Chalice of Life
.Mindbreak Trap is to side in against
Jeskai Ascendancy
or, probably unlikely, a delver deck.Torpor Orb is for Splinter Twin.And finally the board wipes are for you to judge when to side in.
