Is Nefarix worth the cost? (B/W, Standard)

Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 17, 2013, 4:16 p.m. by Metroid_Hybrid

I recently invested in some bigger guns for my Exalted Orzhov deck.. Exalted../Flying../Double Strike../Lifelink..

Recenly included; Blood Baron of Vizkopa , Obzedat, Ghost Council , and even a Fiendslayer Paladin , all of which I'm pretty happy with. Things became questionable when I decided to throw in a Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis just because it was there, and at the time, it made sense.. (Because it seems like he would be really powerful if it made it out on the battlefield..)

Was this a good move? Is this card worth the high cmc? Do I need more mana? Or should I just throw it out in favor of something I could conceivably cast much sooner??

I could use some input please! :3

Well there are a few questions you need to ask your self. Do you have a way to make him stick on the field when you play him? Next do you see it being a complete game changer when it comes in to play or even in general? I do see it my self as an ok card. Its is a very high cmc for the standard format. I wouldn't run more than two. For you deck in general seeing as its is a dual color deck i would suggest atleast 23 to 24 land. You will see less of a problem with your curve if you do it that way. I would take out the guildgates and put in basic lands or Vault of the Archangel .
