Deck Help forum

A few months back, I made Girl's Night Out. It's a standard version of the Rock deck. Once M12 and Scars Block cycle out, I will need to give the deck an extreme overhaul, because a number of cards in it will no longer be in standard, namely:

• Birds of Paradise
• Glssa, the traitor (a major component in the deck)
• Grave Titan
• Sheoldred, Whispering One
• Solemn Simulacrum
• painful quandry
• Despise
• Distress
• card:Life's Finale
• Ratchet Bomb
• Thrun, the Last Troll
• card:Black Sun's Zenith
• Beast Within
• Surgical Extraction
• Memoricide

If anyone has suggestions from M13 or has heard of RTR spoilers that would do well here, I would be glad to hear them.

Note: I would rather not splash White, but I will if I have to.

Duress can be put in replace of Despise and Distress . As for Grave Titan , Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis should do fine as a powerful win condition. With the shocks coming back in rtr, Mutilate can take over the destroy all creatures effect of card:Life's Finale and card:Black Sun's Zenith. Also since shocks are coming back, Arbor Elf can function as well as a Birds of Paradise . As for your other cards like Memoricide and Sheoldred, Whispering One , I'm not aware of any replacements atm. The problem with trying to update your deck this early is that there aren't any spoilers for the new set yet so people can't even begin to speculate as to what decks and what cards are going to be powerful.

lol Arbor Elf is far away from a good option to run in a deck that has 4 forests, but I do agree on the need to wait until RTR is spoiled. The one card that has been spoiled so far would be decent in this deck though (the Jarad from the next duel deck is going to be in RTR).
