Eidolon of Midrange (Standard MTG Deck)

Golgari constellation deck, built to get card advantage through Eidolon of Blossoms with Lotleth Troll filling the graveyard and Pharika, God of Affliction turning the creatures in graveyard to draws with eidolon on field.

Land base is the way it is because of budget.

Pack Rat/Lotleth Troll keep the graveyard with creatures for pharika to use

removal is removal. Hero's Downfall is better v planeswalkers, Silence the Believers does real well against monsters, Abrupt Decay handles Detention Sphere , Banishing Light, Chained to the Rocks, or red deck wins

Thoughtseize i only have the one of. Brain Maggot is a thoughtseize that triggers constellation.

mana dorks are things. I wish I had Courser of Kruphix , but budget. same goes for more Sylvan Caryatid.

so just finished my first tournament with it, pleased with how it ran. Went 2-2, winning vs american control and green aggro, losing to american control and R/G monsters

round 1, went 2-1 against an american control deck. Was very grindy, and his deck didn't play well the first game. started our game three with 5 minutes left, and I played out as aggressive as it plays for a win.

round 2, vs mono-g aggro, was against a friend of mine, won 2-1, getting in Whip of Erebos for a win game one, and the same way of lifegain game 3. after how well it played I traded for a second whip to run

round 3, really good american control, I played through 2 jaces and an elspeth game 1, but after many Sphinx's Revelation, keranos, god of the storm proved too good for me to handle. I need to get some Unravel the Aether to handle keranos in these decks

round 4, played against R/G monsters. Game one I lost to a xenagos planeswalker and missed a couple land drops, specifically the black kind. couldn't hero's downfall until after he ult'd, and after hitting 7 permanents with it, too much damage to live through. Game 2 I got a win through doomwake giant and then using pharika to make 3 snakes in a turn, wiping all the sylvan caryatids he had. Game three, there was nothing I could do against two ghor-clan rampagers, a polukranos, and two stormbreaths. I also forgot to side out Abrupt Decay and drew both of them, ending in two dead-cards after a mull to 6. not my best play.

all in all, I know I need to get more Hero's Downfall, get some Unravel the Aether for sideboard, and get a second whip to fit somehow. should be fun. any other suggestions would be appreciated. It was a really fun night.
