Sarkhan's Unsealing in comp?
Standard forum

I've been playing with the idea of building Sarkhan's Unsealing into a competitive deck. At the moment have a Golgari shell splashing the Unsealing. I think it matches up well against some of the meta decks and takes Carnage Tyrant to potentially game breaking levels. Just wondering what people's thoughts were on this card; how it matches up to meta, whether it's easy enough to make it work, is it worth it etc?
Really would like to build a fun deck too, but don't have any copies on Arena. What about going monored and use Runaway Steam-Kin as an accelerator?

I’ve been playing a Sarkhan’s unsealing deck for quite a while now on Untap. Feel free to take a look if you need any ideas for your own build.
I’ve found relatively good success with the deck if you get things out quickly. Very useful against aggro decks, as well as against some midrange builds. However control is definitely its main weakness, unfortunately kind of a hopeless causes. Other then that, it’s a very fun deck to play that will probably only get better when Ravnia Allegiances gets released in January.

RowdyMagic18 Ok that looks like a really fun deck, I may have to make my own version of it!

RowdyMagic18 Here's what I've ended up with. May edit sideboard some more with testing and will most likely change a lot once Ravnica Allegiance drops but I think it's pretty nice. Went in hard on hexproof to deal with control. GR Stompy Unsealing

Looks great man. Good luck with the build! So excited for Allegiances! Hopefully this will become at least a tier 2 deck!

RowdyMagic18 The shock lands alone I think will make this a pretty viable competitive deck. If they decide to support the 4+ power archetype from Core Set 19 with the Gruul cards, this deck may just make it

I just built a gate colossus deck that uses 2 copies of sarkans unsealing to go with 4 gate colossus as more board wipe/reoccurring damage.
its built around the gates/guild summit engine with risk factor as even more card draw/damage.
and bane fire and inescapable blaze as the primary win condition.
so far pretty fun on arena. B01

not good enough. bad against Vivien Reid, Vraska, Relic Seeker, and Assassin's Trophy from gb, which is the top deck in standard atm. too slow against boros/mono-white aggro. unreliable against jeskai control. might be ok against drakes, but thats about it.
