Stopping of Supreme Verdict
Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 24, 2014, 10:28 p.m. by VileVulture
I am currently running this deck : RG Devotion? and the only thing i am worried about is control decks, i am running Ruric Thar, the Unbowed but i dont feel as if that is enough. i am wondering what instants i could run that could give all my creatures something such as regenerate, even if they have splashes of other colors due to the ability of Sylvan Caryatid and being able to tap him for any color.

Let's see, Supreme Verdict ?
It actually has a lot of limitations. In addition to Devonin's suggestion, Boros Charm can make your creatures indestructible and Golgari Charm can regenerate them (as the Verdict has no anti-regenerate clause).

Honestly, before getting cute and trying to splash answers in. I would first consider Domri Rade as your best weapon against control decks.
Remember that Supreme Verdict is just one way they have to interact with you, so any card you bring in requires that you both have it in hand, have mana open for it and they have Supreme Verdict . Domri Rade on the other hand pressures them regardless of what answers they have. If they do something to remove Domri Rade that's one less removal option coming at your creatures, if they don't it digs you more creatures and survives cards like Supreme Verdict . And if Domri Rade ever ults it's virtually impossible for you to loose that game.
If you stick a Domri Rade in a control match-up your heavily favored to win.

Honestly though Slycne had a pretty good suggestion, I just want to say. I like that approach.

Boros Charm is probably better for you in an all around situation than golgari. Seems like boros would be the more useful of the two with it's ability to increase your damage output as well as protect your creatures.

Golgari Charm can also kill enchantments which is relevant in the U/W matchup.

+1 about Domri. The extra cards he will usually get you are wonderful. And if they want to drop a dsphere to kill him that's good, one less to kill Big Xeny.
Against UW, IMO, it's more about pacing yourself and forcing them to use resources how you want them to rather than trying to be reactive to their reactive play. As nice as it is to preserve a board from a supreme verdict I think it's even more fun to force them to verdict two turns in a row and then drop another threat to finish them off. Mistcutter is awesome for this. Inbetween UWx and MUD he's a 4-of in my 75.

The enchantment point is a good one. I haven't actually played in 4 or 5 months since I'm studying abroad and wasn't thinking about the prevalence of enchantment creatures and the like that are being used now. Golgari Charm is probably the better choice.

Domri Rade and Ruric Thar, the Unbowed are awesome.Also, Xenagos is brilliant vs comtrol in both his forms. The planeswalker lets you pump out 2/2's with haste and the God just makes everything hit big.

Rootborn Defenses is probably your best bet to deal with a boardwipe in a creature heavy deck.
Also, this isn't actually a Q&A questions, which is for rules problems. You should probably have asked in Deck Help.
