Ways to get rid of Erebos for Orzhov
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 7, 2013, 3:09 a.m. by DreamGoddessLindsey
My deck Dark Realms of Orzhov has done well so far, but I know someone is about to play Mono-Black Devotion with Erebos, God of the Dead , so I'm trying to think of ways of stopping it.
This is in Standard, of course. Anyway, since my deck relies on lifegain, I need a way to get rid of that god card. Thing is, the only spell I've been able to find so far is Angelic Edict . That brings me to two questions.
1: Is there anything cheaper that can do this for Orzhov?
2: What in my sideboard can I replace for the card I need to do this?
If there are any better ways for Orzhov to stop Mono-Black Devotion, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.
You can also 2 for one if Erebos is a creature: Wring Flesh & Last Breath

If you threw in a couple of Blood Crypt or Sacred Foundry you could use Chained to the Rocks

When in creature mode Liliana of the Dark Realms and Quag Sickness will also deal with him.

splash blue, run Detention Sphere , it's a similar option to chain, but it can hit a broader array of threats and is a lot easier to cast in a deck that isn't built around it.

I guess I need to stick with Angelic Edict or Merciless Eviction . Most of the other suggestions would either goof up the tempo of the deck or change its composition altogether. Thanks for the suggestions, though, always appreciated.
