R/W cards to remove Obzedat, Ghost Council
Standard forum
Posted on Dec. 14, 2013, 7:14 a.m. by WalzY
Can someone tell me what R/W cards in standard are capable of removing Obzedat, Ghost Council at instant speed, i.e. vs a player who exiles him at the end of their turn. He seems to dodge all burn, and I can't think of any reasonable cost white cards that can remove him either! Thanks :-)

I think your only option is Trostani's Judgment . Bad, but fills your requirements.

Hopefully by "reasonable cost" you're refering to cash cost vs casting cost. Pretty sure you're stuck with a double burn spell in that case.

While not getting rid of it, Blind Obedience or Imposing Sovereign at least turn him into just a 2 power drain, or force your opponent to leave him in play for sorcery speed stuff like Glare of Heresy .

If he's attacking with it you can Celestial Flare too, or Avenging Arrow . I had assumed he was being careful and just pinging for 2 each turn.

A lot of times you'd either have to 2 for 1, block with some guys or hope they forget to exile him. Blood baron is a good blocker vs him though.

Another card you could run, but shouldn't is Explosive Impact

If your opponent ever leaves him in play Glare of Heresy . But apart from double burn or mass blocking, there really is no other way

Spear of Heliod will stop him from attacking! provided you keep mana up, but yeah, he's a bit of a problem op for your deck. Maybe Aurelia's Fury ? It's much more flexible than that Boulderfall garbage. You could also splash green for Selesnya Charm if it's a REAL problem. You could add in Temple of Abandon , Temple Garden and Stomping Ground and keep in in the sideboard. If you're running blitz, you're probably already running Temple Garden s for burning-tree, but yeah, he's a large problem for boros, and this is the best I can offer I'm afraid.

The Q&A handles rules questions only. Moved to Standard.
