Delerium - Silence ft. Elspeth & The Sunbears
Modern Control Death and Taxes Devotion Enchantment Hatebears Mono-White
Instant (8)
Enchantment (9)
Welcome to Sunbear Prison! Where you'll be Silenced FOREVER!
The amount of hatred necessary to play this deck is staggering...
You will either lose friends with the mind-numbing interactions, or have them slowly build animosity towards you from the continuous Silence during both our turns. Not-to-mention taxing their every opportunity to remove a Sunbear or an enchantment.
Evil Right?..."I reject your reality and substitute my own."
So everyone knows , and . Well, I Pondered on how you could combine the three in an even split in . I found that if I went too heavy on any of the core elements of all three methods I was left vulnerable to many strategies. Too much Pillowfort left me with no means of winning or having games go to time. A ZOO of left me vulnerable to removal, and very limited choices in . Then finally having too much taxation left me in a bored state of "drool-monkey" like proportions. Where controlling the whole game but not actually doing anything was my means of playing. + = Fish
To combat all this I decided that all I needed was a strong method of handling the most fierce and lethal decks out there. Be it , , , , and even pesky players. I know there may be a few archetypes I left out, but it's Modern and people will play almost anything. Sigh, damn Slippery Bogles I hate you!
Using the power of Heliod and the heavens to win!
Elspeth, Sun's Champion bringing the late-game brutality!
Elspeth, Sun's Champion singing the chorus of one of my favorite songs is what inspired me to make this deck.
+1 gives me a means to defend myself in case all my die.
-3 is surprising efficient for wrathing big creatures.
-7 is a powerhouse ultimate that surely pushes the win in my favor.
"The dawn of Heliod's justice!"
Sun Titan, effortlessly returning cards from the graveyard since M11!
Sun Titan is the backbone that keeps the whole deck upright. If Elspeth isn't drawn or gets killed then I need other means of winning besides buffed up . He puts in work and returns 75% of my deck from the graveyard. #Value
WATCH OUT FOR Torpor Orbs!
"A blazing sun that never sets"
Mono-white Hatebears making you hate life since 2014!
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is forever the Queen of all Hate.
Thalia, Heretic Cathar is our Queen's upgraded version for a little bit of land hatred.
Mirran Crusader is my Knight of the Realm and keeps me protected from most scary creatures. Elves are especially vulnerable to this champion. He is versatile too by allowing me to be aggressive while the prison is being constructed.
Grand Abolisher holds the utility slot via continuing the Silence theme within the deck but stops EVERYTHING my turn.
"Your superstitions and mumblings are useless chaff before my righteousness."
Kambal, Consul of Allocation has taken a major role within the deeper aspects of my deck even though he's somewhat a non-bo. His ability to hold back most players from wanting to continue to cast spells (Sub-theme of silencing opponent achieved) is fantastic! Storm, combo and control players will have their eyes glaze over in disgust, and I will just laugh at the free life recovery...LOL! Thought my was just for random extorts--no I have this little surprise!
"He has "friends" in places both high and low, and all seem to owe him favors."
Leonin Arbiter is the KING OF HATE!
"Our people are torn by infighting. Until the two sides reconcile, our laws can carry no meaning."
Mono-white control/protection wrapped up in a nice little package!
Keep the Silences and Path to Exiles flowing, and lock down all of combat with the help of Blind Obedience and Ghostly Prison to see your opponent(s) truly get frustrated.
Drop Oblivion Rings for multi-purpose removal.
Use Sunbears when necessary
Finally get Sun Titan out and then Extort your way to victory every spell thanks to from Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. This is a fabulous way to slowly drain your opponent, and puts a big grin on my face when I use Temple of Silences.
"Take a quiet moment to reflect on your sins."
Cleph, Order of Redeemed Souls
Runed Halo is the keystone to self-protection whenever Leyline isn't main-board.
Oblivion Ring The "Swiss-army-knife" of removal and protection spells. Generate infinite loops to permanently exile a non-land, or in very fringe situations use it to enchant your own permanent to avoid Demonic Pact shenanigans.
Archangel of Tithes as my singleton Angel of light. She hits Devotion beautifully, and supplies me with Elspeth protection, while all along upgrading the Sun Prison to MAXIMUM SECURITY!
Imprinting shenanigans are plentiful so take your pick!
Isochron Scepter & Spear of Heliod being the techs of the build really gives the deck different tempos.
The Scepter focuses on locking down the opponent with free instant spells to cause chaos.
The Sun Spear is for hating back when a bear gets killed or for letting in a bruiser to be to be vanquished after combat. When everything resolves ZAP! the creature that hit you with Heliod, God of the Sun's sunbeam. Combine that with a creature-wide anthem and you're golden!
How to lock down the Sunbear Prison
Method A: T2 - Isochron Scepter exiling Silence, T3 - Thalia, Heretic Cathar, T4 - Grand Abolisher & activate the scepter on their turn.
Method B: T2 - Blind Obedience, T3 - Ghostly Prison, T4 - Isochron Scepter exiling Path to Exile & activate whenever.

My gaming history for Modern Events

Match
0-2 Elves: This dude just flooded the board with elves upon elves upon elves. Gilt-Leaf Archdruid being the standout card that wrecked me. Also he had co-co...even though I managed to Scepter a Hallowed Moonlight . He basically teased me with it...and I didn't even bother to take the free card draw...many lessons learned!
Match
0-2 Bant Eldrazi: Dude resolved his Elspeth before me, and Reality Smasherd my face before I could drop Sun Titan to stabilize. Also he got me with a sideboarded Krosan Grip to take out my prison game two.
