Which Wall is better?

Deck Help forum

Basically, I'm making a U/W deck, and I'd like to know which wall you like better and which one is worst.

-Plumeveil

-Wall of Omens

-Wall of Denial

1. Plumeveil (Surprise Blocks)
2. Wall of Omens (Early blocks, helps you get to more control spells)
3. Wall of Denial (long lasting blocker but does little to remove threats)

That's my opinion anyway. Funny you ordered them the same as I ranked them :D.

1. Plumeveil
2. Wall of Denial shroud is important if your plan is to have it sit there forever. An x/8 is a tank.
3. Wall of Omens because running a bad creature just because it replaces itself isn't great

That's in a vacuum. What format are you playing them in, and what's your gameplan?

For the purposes of being an actual wall, Wall of Denial is king. You can't shift the geezer!

Wall of Omens does replace itself into other threats or answers for you to use and is easy to play, but obviously is not as long-lasting as the Wall of Denial .

Plumeveil is the one of these walls I've never played with before. It's not resilient per se but a surprise blocker that can kill an opponent's creature in combat is pretty awesome for its cost.

It depends on the deck. Wall of Omens can be really good in a board wipe heavy control deck. It can slow down your opponent and replace itself, so if you play a wrath you're not losing any card advantage.

Plumeveil can be a combat trick and therefore can often be a 2 for 1. Killing one thing by surprise and trading with something else later on.

Wall of Denial is more likely to stick around and can block turn after turn, but it's never going to kill anything, so all it can do is save you some life here and there.
