You'll need some Banishing Lights to be able to deal with artifacts and enchantments.

Maybe im wrong but this format isnt multicolored, except for the Siege Rhino

@DarkPaladin11Honestly, it depends on what DTK gives us. Most aggro decks use a variety of both mono and multicolored creatures, but against control they have completely mono-colored wincons.

This format is definitely multicolored DarkPaladin11. The mana given to use helps in this regard quite well.

Except for Abzan decks, there really isnt much other decks that us multicolored, the only other thing i can think of is Mantis Rider and that can be killed by a Bile Blight

I would probably edit out the part about Jace considering he's no longer in your deck ;)

I love this deck, but I'm not sure about Radiant Purge. Personally I will build a deck similar to this but in my meta theres not a lot of multicolred going on. I'd side these in my build and throw in some more Hero's Downfall or maybe Bile Blight

Radiant Purge and Ultimate Price should really be in the sideboard...
March 12, 2015 3:43 p.m.
DarkPaladin11 says... #11
I definetly think Ultimate Price is great in the main but not Radiant Purge
March 12, 2015 4:23 p.m.
DarkPaladin11 says... #12
replace a Radiant Purge for a Hero's Downfall that card should be a 4 of in all control decks

Have you considered Murderous Cut? Its a one cmc removal spell
March 12, 2015 5:12 p.m.

needs Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver back in it. I don't know for what. be it's so good.
March 12, 2015 5:14 p.m.
Lazy. Imma edit it all after I finalize things again after DTK's full spoiler.
I'm torn between which kill spells to play...Hero's Downfall is definitely the best mainboard option, but I really like Ultimate Price and Radiant Purge too...and call me crazy but even Reprisal, though the latter purely as a SB option against Abzan aggro and Rakshasa Deathdealer. Last Breath was great last standard, because of Voice of Resurgence, and I think it could be still, again because of Rakshasa Deathdealer, but also because of Valorous Stance.
The problem is, Bile Blight is too good to not play, and I need to fit it back in. Too many removal options, dammit xD!!
Surge of Righteousness and Self-Inflicted Wound are good SB options (the latter being potential mainboard, depending on the amount of Abzan in your meta).
@MAGESTIC_LLAMA(again)
Murderous Cut is not a 1cmc kill spell. I want to keep my GY full of cards to delve away for Dig Through Time. While definitely a good card, I want and have better removal options.
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver is definitely too good to not play.
I feel like another massive update is coming, lol.
March 12, 2015 10:21 p.m.
Uuuuhhhhhh crap... Now I don't have room for Ojutai's Command and Silumgar's Command Dx
Too many spells I want to play.

I would take out the Negate for another Dissolve, its only 1 more mana. and it allows you to scry and counter creatures. And only two islands for a playset of both Flooded Strand and Polluted Delta seems risky. I feel like they will put you in situations where you have useless land. I also think you could drop both Jace's Ingenuity for Anticipate, this card does wonders for a deck like this, that has no free two drops and can get screwed on land quite easily. Also it adds to your delve.

Considering you're running fetches, Murderous Cut is pretty well costed. I would playtest with both, but it works for me in my control. You can check it out BTW if you're interested.

What about Drown in Sorrow? At least in the sideboard against rush decks.
March 13, 2015 11:18 p.m.
Murderous Cut is good, but I still feel like it isn't worth using over other spells I have.
I can do some testing with it, and likely will, but I'm not sure I'll play it.
Drown in Sorrow I feel like I need as well, but I'm not sure what to take out for it. Perhaps I'll drop a Surge of Righteousness and a Silumgar, the Drifting Death from the side.

as for mainboard changes I think your running alot of land. Whenever I playtest this deck I always get 6 or more land in my opener. I would take 2 out for something. Maybe Anticipate?

MAGESTIC_LLAMA says... #24
Yeah, you do not need 28 land. You need at most 25
March 14, 2015 6:14 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #25
I would actually say at least 26. Standard control needs a lot of land. Aggro decks run around 22-24.

I appreciate you telling me! I'm glad people actually take time to read my description xD
Sometimes I think I'm writing all that for nothing lol.
