2nd @ MNM —Jan. 20, 2015
R1 (2-0): The guy ran a very clunky faery deck, all of his creatures could block my spirits but he couldn't keep up with my token generation.
R2 (2-1): Faced a really cool burn deck that ran only elemental creatures like Spark Elemental and Hell's Thunder. Leyline of Sanctity swung the games in my favor, he turned his burns towards my tokens but couldn't keep up.
R3 (2-0): Faced another B/W token deck but my build was better. I sideboarded for Bile Blight and smashed face with my soldiers.
R4 (2-0): This round was a very annoying U/B control deck. Had to top deck to squeak out the first win but then sideboarded for Rest in Peace which killed his draw cards, he delved a lot.
-------Top 8-------
R5 (2-1): This was a very well constructed burn deck. There are many of these decks in my meta so I have many responses in my sideboard, but every game I was flying by the seat of my pants. Leyline of Sanctity ultimately won the round for me.
-------Semifinals-------
R6 (2-1): Faced a Jund Midrange that had a lot of good removal, thankfully, so do I. In the end I just outran him thanks to Sorin, Solemn Visitor's first ability.
-------Finals-------
R7 (0-2): This Tron deck was vicious!! Tron is not only the worst match up for my deck but I am pretty sure that this guy didn't even lose a single game. Every time I was in a position to strike, Engineered Explosives wiped me out. Honestly it was the most fun I've ever had losing, his deck was impressive.

Hey I am running something pretty similar. Check out Orzhov Token Control for some ideas. How has this deck been treating you against the local meta?

Oops... the correct tag for MY version of the deck is Orzhov Token/Control

I don't know why it showed up like that, I didn't put deck-large into the tag...weird.

ya tapped out has been acting a lil weird lately, but, xzzane i was checking out your non-budget deck for some serious competitive upgrades and i think you make a good point about Tidehollow Sculler being a good disruption card but too easy to remove with the current meta. I will be doing the following:
1x Thoughtsieze, 1x Zealous Persecution, 1x Path to Exile > 3x Tidehollow Sculler
I am also considering:
1x Auriok Champion > 1x Honor of the Pure
with 6 buff enchantments there is still a high probability that I will see one if not multiple during any given game. Plus being my only creature and with an awesome lifegain ability, Auriok Champion needs to make an appearance more often. Its too bad they are so hard to find.
As for the fetch lands, Marsh Flats are sitting at around $25-30 which makes them cheaper than some of the others. I will be collecting those slowly and integrating them into the mana base.
Thank you to both xzzane and jerrynyg for linking me their decks, you have given me a lot of inspiration and some guidance for how to make this deck competitive.

No problem, glad to help. I'll also help you out with yours if you want, jerrynyg. Do you have any more questions regarding the main board? I can offer my assistance with your sideboard as well. Some cards like Utter End need to go immediately.

ya lol you are right xzzane, Utter End was a throw in cause my mind is still kinda geared towards standard. I need to replace it with Stony Silence to negate any artifact interference. Please point any other glaring holes in my sideboard plz!

Temple of Silence needs to go. Bile Blight has better replacements. What is your meta?

rlly!? temple is no buano, what would go in its place? The MNM I play modern at gets fairly large, 35+ players but most of that Ive seen are variations of Red Deck Wins. Burns, creatures with built in shocks and of course the smack face and die creatures like Hell's Thunder. But yes, there are many red decks in my meta....and one very annoying merfolk deck hahaha

upon further review, Fetid Heath is much better than Temple of Silence lol I will try to pick some up at my local store
January 19, 2015 12:21 a.m.
Leyline of Sanctity and Auriok Champion are your best bets against RDW and burn. Burrenton Forge-Tender also does pretty well. As for merfolk, try Engineered Explosives.

How competitive do you want this to be?
