Alright, I got lucky on some SoI packs lately. I think I may have the mos expensive parts of a standard deck here, or at least a good chunk of it. So far I have:
Along with some other smaller good stuff, but I think these 5 cards are the best to fit together into an Orzhov control deck. I'm not sure the best way to cosntruct the deck though, so Id love suggestions. Id like to not put more than another $100-$150 into this deck (seems reasonable since the Avacyns and Sorins would probably make up the largest chunk of the budget). Basically wanting a good deck for FNM level play
Hey look I made a first draft

Hi!
I've planned a similar deck for the near future. Consider this: I jumped back into MtG recently and what I'd like to do for me is to plan nice decks for the "standard to come" after the fall's rotation.
So, I don't consider any Tarkir / Origin cards. :)
You have to roads: - Midrange with a bit of annoying creatures;- Full Control, built around sorin.
Full control core expense would be:3x Sorin2x Ob Nixis3x Gideon
Around this, you can go on a budget considering the following picks:- Ruinous Path: reasonably low in price, I would put at least 3 copies.- To The Slaughter: not the best in the market, but still good for the price and pretty efficient in the future standard.- Grasp of Darkness (get 4 copies, it's uncommon and one of the beest 1/1 removals)- Biting Rain (pretty understimated, it's uncommon, can be triggered with Madness and gives a nice -2 / -2 wich is nice against aggro stuff.- Get Declarations and Unmaking. 4 of the first, at least 3 copies total of the second. - Both the Zendikar and SoI "wraths" are nice cards to get now. Once Languish will be out, they'll be reliable. 1 of each is a nice choice for a BW Control.
Possible list:
PLANESWALKER (8)3x Sorin (25 dollars)3x Gideon (40 dollars)2x Ob Nixis (12 dollars)
CREATURES (9) 2x Ayili (5 dollars)4x "Something awful"2x Avacyn 2x Kalitas (40 dollars)
REMOVALS/CONTROL (17)3x Ruinous Path (3 dollars)3x Declaration in Stone (15 dollars)3x Anguished Unmaking (6 dollars)2x Wraths (3 dollars)4x Grasp of Darkness 2x Transgress The Mind
2x Forsaken Sanctuary2x AbbeyVarious lands until 24-25
It's something around 150 dollars total. :)
I don't know if it's efficient, but it's a pretty basic kernel I'd make for a deck like this. :)
Cheers!
