Sorin, Ob, and Gideon Walk into a Bar

Standard* Competitive Control Midrange WB (Orzhov)

Krhaynes1


Sideboard


Stop me if you've heard this one before; Sorin, Grim Nemesis, Ob Nixilis Reignited, and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar walk into a bar...

And become the new control in standard. My original rotation deck I built was really sub-par after play testing. Thus, I built an Orzhov Control. Shadows gave a plethora of control oriented cards for standard, and as the metagame slows a little control is very much in the mix.

KEY PLAYERS:

Sorin, Grim Nemesis- +1 ability drains opponent-X kills creature/planeswalker and gain life-9 wincon and he starts at 6 loyalty so tough to kill once you get him out

Ob Nixilis Reignited- +1 Card draw-3 kill spell-8 wincon. Ob helps regain upper hand once mid game arrives

Gideon, Ally of Zendikar- +1 gives you big creature0 Gives you guys-4 buffs up you creatures

Archangel Avacyn  - she's just that good, flyer with flash and gives everyone indestructible

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet- Gives you guys, lifegain, and exiles opponents creatures.

REMOVAL:

Anguished Unmaking- its a Vindicate at instant speed. SOOOOOOO good

Grasp of Darkness- a nice spot remover

Ultimate Price - Alot more use now that tri-color creatures are gone

Immolating Glare - kill the aggressive attack

Languish- most effective sweeper out there right now

Alot of this has exiling features, which is really important with SOI since so much can be brought back from the graveyard that's my reasoning for alot of choices. But there's enough destroy/kill spells to feed Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. Suggestions are welcome.
