Removal or Gift of Orzhova against extreme aggro
Deck Help forum

Here's the deck: Don't mind my Junk
Now the question: "Should I bring in extra removal, or maybe go with Gift of Orzhova in the sideboard instead to help with the racing?"
I can picture a turn 2 Sylvan Caryatid with a turn 3 gift to help stabilize against quick aggro decks, AND Gift helps with the Black Devotion, and gives my guys evasion
Thoughts?
My only qualm with the Gift of Orzhova is that you're not a 25+ low curve creature deck, so having a creature you can enchant on the field is not always a given. Where as say more Doom Blade s will always function as more removal regardless of the contents of your hand or current boardstate.
You're the control deck against aggro, you don't want to be instigating a race. You want to stabilize and land something they can't deal with.

I like what Slycne said here...but let me ask you this.
Instead of more 2 drop removal, how about using Blind Obedience ? Comes down turn 2, and I can board out all my big drops + draw cards (since they make me lose life anyway) so I SHOULD on average have an extra mana to extort off of

My thoughts, playtest, I like more removal, but this isn't a bad idea either. I would like to see/here concrete results though.
