Barren Death

Modern*

UsagiYojimbo


Sideboard

Artifact (2)

Planeswalker (2)


A tap-out control deck that uses Gideon Jura and Greater Gargadon, backed by discard and spot removal, to pressure your opponent. With Death Cloud, Liliana of the Veil's ultimate and, most succinctly, Greater Gargadon's suspend-sacrificing, we can push the board state toward one with few pieces and a threat. If your opponent answers the threat, they leave us with Barren Glory in play and we can win on the next upkeep.

Notable interactions:

Delirium Skeins + 1-Mana Discard + Howltooth Hollow

Liliana Ultimate + Barren Glory = See, planeswalkers are good because of utility!

Raven's Crime and Flame Jab offer a way to keep land cards useful when you don't want to play them. Also remember, Fetchlands don't have to find any target, you can just sacrifice them for free.

Also note that there are no targeted spells in the main-deck. This is to prevent the possibility of getting a card trapped in our hand during a control matchup, and not being able to win with Barren Glory.
