This is my first design of a Sultai-Control deck. In this deck I wanted Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
+
Phenax, God of Deception
as win-conditions.So it is a little bit about milling your opponent out. I build this deck out of my card pool, therefore there aren't that old cards in it. I hope you like it and may could comment with some improvements becaus this deck is very important for me.
Dakra Mystic
+
Minister of Inquiries
are the one-drops that can start milling at the beginning. Both can help you to trigger Delirium for Grim Flayer
+
Moldgraf Scavenger
or start milling your opponent out of cards. The Dakra Mystic is also able to draw cards for you and control that your opponent doesn't draw what he could need. Also the Dimir Charm is there for controlling the opponent draws. It is also usuable as a sorcery counterspell or a removal for weaker creatures.
As card draw i wanted to improve other cards that need energy like Glimmer of Genius
+
Minister of Inquiries
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
+
Murderous Cut
and also Abrupt Decay
+
Sultai Charm
are there to get rid of the new gods like The Scarab God. Also Abrupt Decay
+
Sultai Charm
are able to remove more than just creatures. Sultai Charm also can filter your cards in hand if needed.
Grapple with the Past
+
Strategic Planning
and Search for Azcanta
are in there to activate Delirium; filter out cards, that you don't want or are able to bring back creatures that were killed by your opponent. The backsite of Search for Azcanta also can give you card advantage to seek for removal spells or so on.
Gonti, Lord of Luxury
+
Grapple with the Past
are also good if you combinate them. First of all with the enter the battlefield trigger of Gonti you can take over removals or cards that could put you into danger and you can cycle the others down to their owners library. Also Gonti helps you to collect information about the deck you opponent is playing. With his Deathtouch he is a perfect blocker and when you get him back with Grapple with the Past and play him again you get his positive effect again too.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang is a card which you can play fast if you need him. With a 4/5 Body he is a perfect blocker against aggro decks and also he can mill five cards by tapping him with Phenax, God of Deception. He also can gain card advantage by activating his ability.
Last but not least i have Curse of the Swine. It is there as a one of and its function is an Exileboard whipe that only 2/2 Boars are facing you. This Helps to get rid of indestructible creatures or creatures with huge die triggers.
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver is the card you want to defend. You plus him until your opponent is out of cards or you hit a big threat with him. Also if you can't defend him with your hand you may can use a creature exiled with him to buy you some time.
So this deck shall survive until you can mill your opponent out. So I want to hear your ideas to improve it and which cards are very good yet. Thank you for reading all this.
