I like both of those, I'm also considering Sphere of Safety to keep them sitting there while the Bloodgift Demon and Stab Wound bleed them dry.

The altar's reap scares me. Also the murder rather than the victim of night scares me. But mostly the Altar's reap scare's me.I would run Liliana of the Veil. I would also run a single ethereal armor. But mostly just Liliana of the Veil.

The one colorless difference hasn't been an issue in testing at all, and I like that Murder has no restrictions. I'll give it a shot with Liliana and see what that does for it. Thanks for the feedback!

it sounds like you are planning to use Bloodgift Demon on the opponent
this would be stupid use it for yourself and i would trade card:Altar's Reap with Sign in Blood

It can go either way, if I've got a hand full of removal and they're locked under a Curse of Exhaustion why not bleed them for a few life to finish them off?

cards can change anything either way if you are in the lead why give them any hope of coming back

I would replace Shimian Specter for Desecration Demon and replace Stab Wound for Unhallowed Pact ...

Removed the remaining copies of card:Altar's Reap and replaced them with card:Curse of Death's Hold, as well as swapping out both maindeck copies of Nevermore for Sphere of Safety . I'm not sure how I feel about that, especially with the ability to dig through their library with Shimian Specter and find a good Nevermore target. Overall it seems to have helped in both the mid-range and aggro matchups.

I might steal your idea and slightly modify it. I really like what you did with the curses.
December 24, 2012 9:51 p.m.
Tragic Slip since you are playing counter removal. I like this idea, Mind if if I borrow your idea for Standard?

Please be my guest Baatosan, as long as you let me know how it does! If you find anything that works significantly better I want to know about it!

Unfortunately, I felt it slow and so did my colleagues, they helped me out a bit and made into this. Curse of Sorin

I love the idea, unfortunately Tap Out's shuffling algorithm is completely bogus. I tried 5 playtests and in the first 4 turns never drew another land. usually started with 3-4 in my opening hand.

Binaryraven I feel you bro. But i assume tappedout's shuffling algorithm is equivalent to "Tournament Shuffling". I assume you shuffle while putting 1 land and 2 cards etc. While Tournament Shuffling does not allow you to do that.

what about card:Curse of Death's Hold and Curse of Thirst ? that seems like the type of control Orzhov is more likely to do, making their creatures suck and not letting them cast any creatures if you get enough out
