Updated Sideboard —April 23, 2012

Updated the sideboard a bit. Built this on Magic Online, plays really well and consistent in casual games. Can't wait to try this out in a Tournament, I know it'll probably be stomped by more dominant archetypes (Modular, Ramp-drazi etc) but I'm sure it'll be fun nevertheless. (:

Haven't looked at the deck, but the name alone deserves a +1. Especially since that is how half of the population where I'm from would actually pronounce 'orgasm.'

Now that I'm looking at it, why no Sigil of the Empty ThroneMTG Card: Sigil of the Empty Throne? That card is a win condition in itself.

STG says... #3

Haha, thank you. (:

And interesting... Would I make that a 1 or 2-of in the deck if I were to add it?

dont know if u actually need it but what bout AuramancerMTG Card: Auramancer to get destroyed enchantments back?

April 4, 2012 3:14 a.m.

STG says... #5

AuramancerMTG Card: Auramancer is a bit too slow for my liking, and Nomad MythmakerMTG Card: Nomad Mythmaker does that job and better anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Two Sigil of the Empty ThroneMTG Card: Sigil of the Empty Throne. No Curse of ExhaustionMTG Card: Curse of Exhaustion? I think you ought to frustrate your opponent a bit more.

If you're doing mono-white Emeria, The Sky RuinMTG Card: Emeria, The Sky Ruin seems like it would be a good include as a 1 or 2-of.

April 4, 2012 10:17 a.m.

metalmagic says... #8

I definitely think 2. That is a card you want to see, and if you happen to draw both, well you pretty much win.

+1 because I played kor spirit dancer in standard back in the day and SUCH a great name. Greater AuramancyMTG Card: Greater Auramancy makes it so your creatures can only have one aura each just sayin.

Also, my favorite of all auras (Cho-Manno's BlessingMTG Card: Cho-Manno's Blessing) was not included :C just be careful picking white!

@ Theophilus + metalmagic

Alright, thank you for the suggestion of Sigil of the Empty ThroneMTG Card: Sigil of the Empty Throne. I'll put 2 of them in and see how they go in playtests. (:

As for the Curse of ExhaustionMTG Card: Curse of Exhaustion, that sounds more like a sideboard card for aggro. My question is though, would I use that or Ghostly PrisonMTG Card: Ghostly Prison instead? They're both quite good at slowing my opponent down.

@MarkBGH

I'm not sure. In my experience running mono-white, I've never actually reached the point where I have 7 plains on the field to make use of Emeria, The Sky RuinMTG Card: Emeria, The Sky Ruin's effect. I'll consider it, but it may not suit how quick I want the deck to run.

@asuraofcards

Thank you. (:

And hm, I might drop that down to a 2-of. Thanks for pointing that out. Thats a tad annoying haha.

Thank you for all your feedback so far!

This deck runs too fast for most of the cards in the 4-5 mana range. You could replace them with some cool one-drops and Blessing of the NephilimMTG Card: Blessing of the Nephilim (I'm thinking of Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion, Boros RecruitMTG Card: Boros Recruit, Figure of DestinyMTG Card: Figure of Destiny, Zealous GuardianMTG Card: Zealous Guardian, and sideboard Elvish HexhunterMTG Card: Elvish Hexhunter. Also, some other cool one-drop auras are:Edge of the DivinityMTG Card: Edge of the Divinity (for use with Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion)Gift of GraniteMTG Card: Gift of Granite (to surprise some attackers/blockers/damage)Genju of the FieldsMTG Card: Genju of the Fields (could be good, I guess)Holy StrengthMTG Card: Holy Strength (its pretty good)LifelinkMTG Card: Lifelink (because you won't have many creatures, its important that you gain life as a pseudo-blocker)

Thats my advise, +1 for the name!

@mtuchler

That was actually the one aim of this deck when I first thought of making it: to be really fast and become big really quickly.

I've taken out the Sigil of the Empty ThroneMTG Card: Sigil of the Empty Throne again because I playtested it heaps and I only got it to work once while playtesting. I also removed Autumn-Tail, Kitsune SageMTG Card: Autumn-Tail, Kitsune Sage because while nice and providing an awesome effect, I never really enchanted him once he got out and chose to further enchant the Kor SpiritdancerMTG Card: Kor Spiritdancer or Mirran CrusaderMTG Card: Mirran Crusader. I've put in 3 Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion like you suggested because I needed a 1-drop creature.

Hopefully with these changes it will become a more faster deck. (:

crixalis says... #13

I believe you need some more creatures to enchant, cheap creatures that must be able to grow fast.Elite VanguardMTG Card: Elite Vanguard for example, a couple of them, pumped by the auras may win the game by theirselves

April 5, 2012 12:12 a.m.

Is there a particular reason you're using Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion isntead of Serra AscendantMTG Card: Serra Ascendant? I think it'd be stronger in this deck, myself.

April 5, 2012 11:47 a.m.

VuduChild says... #15

I'd cut Mesa EnchantressMTG Card: Mesa Enchantress for something cheaper, like Vault SkirgeMTG Card: Vault Skirge or another one drop. You have a bunch of cheap auras, but only Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion as a 1-drop creature. Another four 1-drops would really help you get an aggressive start.

MightyPirate says... #16

Swap Hyena Umbra for Armored Ascension! Ascension is a BEAST late game in a mono white deck. On Mirran Crusader you can be swinging for 10 on turn 5. If you're looking for a good 1-drop then consider Student of WarfareMTG Card: Student of Warfare.

Edge of the DivinityMTG Card: Edge of the Divinity is for Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion. My above comment lists a bunch of cards that would go well to make the deck more aggressive.

Blessing of the NephilimMTG Card: Blessing of the Nephilim (I'm thinking of Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion, Boros RecruitMTG Card: Boros Recruit, Figure of DestinyMTG Card: Figure of Destiny, Zealous GuardianMTG Card: Zealous Guardian, and sideboard Elvish HexhunterMTG Card: Elvish Hexhunter)

Also, some other cool one-drop auras are:

Edge of the DivinityMTG Card: Edge of the Divinity (for use with Nip GwyllionMTG Card: Nip Gwyllion)

Gift of GraniteMTG Card: Gift of Granite (to surprise some attackers/blockers/damage)

Genju of the FieldsMTG Card: Genju of the Fields (could be good, I guess)

Holy StrengthMTG Card: Holy Strength (its pretty good)

LifelinkMTG Card: Lifelink (because you won't have many creatures, its important that you gain life as a pseudo-blocker)

I know Guardian's MagemarkMTG Card: Guardian's Magemark is subpar, but it has a nice boost and also fits the theme well. Personally I'd go bant for things like Sovereigns of Lost AlaraMTG Card: Sovereigns of Lost Alara, which is fun, especially when coupled with Eldrazi ConscriptionMTG Card: Eldrazi Conscription. If you do got bant, you might wanna check out Infiltrator's MagemarkMTG Card: Infiltrator's Magemark.

P.S. I haven't actually read the other comments, so if you've explained why you really don't want to splash or something, forgive me.

I know this doesnt really help with the deck. though everyone is give great ideas. But i was just looking and doesnt the girl of Angelic DestinyMTG Card: Angelic Destiny, look alot like Thalia, Guardian of ThrabenMTG Card: Thalia, Guardian of Thraben sisters maybe?? and check out my deck i think its pretty solid, looking for some tweaks that keep theme if you can think of any In The Name of the King

@DeliciousToast

Very true. I even own a playset of them. Why didn't I think of that? Haha, thank you.

@VuduChild

Hm. Personally, I like Mesa EnchantressMTG Card: Mesa Enchantress - especially when you've got her and Kor SpiritdancerMTG Card: Kor Spiritdancer on the field - because she nets a massive draw amount which is pretty important for aggro and their cheap drops. I may sideboard something in her place if I want a quicker game, but for now I'd like to keep her mainboarded.

@MightyPirate

... And I think your suggestion may be my sideboard card for when that happens. Thank you for suggesting Student of WarfareMTG Card: Student of Warfare. (:

However I find Hyena UmbraMTG Card: Hyena Umbra to be a very important card in the deck. Armored AscensionMTG Card: Armored Ascension does work REALLY well in mono-white though. I'll see what I can do...

@buffy

While a very awesome card, it may be a bit out of my cmc range to play it. :<

@mtuchler

That is a very nice list you brought to my attention. (:

Out of the list I'd probably consider LifelinkMTG Card: Lifelink and Holy StrengthMTG Card: Holy Strength the most because I would like to keep it mono coloured and the rest really benefits dual colours. Thank you though!

@theobjection

Thank you for you suggestions, I would however like to just keep it mono coloured for speed efficiency (I hate being mana screwed) and just to fit the theme. (:

@user:Logan%20Pitt

Hah. Interesting observation! I'll have a look at your deck when I get the chance. I must get off the computer now for my girlfriend!

Cool deck. I would laugh is someone played Aura BarbsMTG Card: Aura Barbs against you though.

April 6, 2012 2:32 a.m.

metalmagic says... #23

Fracturing GustMTG Card: Fracturing Gust would also be devastating.

April 6, 2012 4:03 a.m.

STG says... #24

Does anyone ever run those cards though? :P

April 6, 2012 4:36 a.m.

Yoshiman says... #25

If this deck became popular, I would sideboard that card so fast.
