Sideboard


Maybeboard

Sorcery (3)


The idea here is to keep wiping the board, using detention sphere and other enchantments to make it impossible to attack you via sphere of safety. Once you have your pillowfort established start dropping Traumatizes to put your opponent on a short game clock. Ideally you will leave at least one blue mana available when you cast Traumatize so you can Dispel your opponents' counterspell. Elspeth is an alternate win con, and an additional board wipe, if necessary.

Heliod and Thassa are meant to be played as enchantments, Heliod for his ability to poop out enchantments each turn and Thassa for the free scrying. I mainboard Rest in Peace so that your opponent won't have any chance of regaining cards lost due to Traumatize, and because it helps the enchantment count for Sphere of Safety.

If you notice your opponent boarding out all their removal spells, sideboard in the Azor's Elocutors, Haunted Plate Mails, and Elixir of Immortalitys in place of the Traumatizes and Rest in Peace's. Now the strategy is to wipe the board and swing in with Haunted Plate Mail (or use Thassa for unblock able ability), or cast Azor's Elocutors and hold on for 5 turns.

Play both Spirit of the Labyrinths against control decks. The rest of the sideboard is to deal with aggro/creature heavy opponents.

Swapped out the Dispels for Swan Song, they fit this deck style perfectly and are way more flexible. Also switched out Essence Scatter in the sideboard for a pair of Revoke Existence to deal with Detention Sphere and those nasty gods. Still not sure if I should add Divination, and if I did what I would swap out.
