New sideboard and a few tweaks —Nov. 27, 2013
Added a sideboard geared primarily against control, because that seems to be the worst matchup. Also changed a few of the numbers and added Gideon, Champion of Justice and a couple Cyclonic Rift. Let me know what you think!
Tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is a phone call, when you are unable to speak?

I think u should add Archon of the Triumvirate, Search Warrant, and/or Dramatic Rescue

@redben346
the Archon isn't that good, and honestly just way too high cmc. Search Warrant isn't better than anything I currently have, so not sure what I would take out. The Dramatic Rescue I will definitely consider in place of the Voyage's End .

I'd stick to Voyage's End . The lifegain is kinda nice from Dramatic Rescue but the scry can probably do more useful stuff helping with consistency.

I definitely like the scry. But I have the Thassa, God of the Sea in there for that. So I'll see. A little life gain is always nice to prolong games.

Love the deck +1 from me. You should consider one Tamiyo, the Moon Sage for extra annoyance instead of one Jace.

The Moon Sage would be a fun annoyance card, but sadly not Standard. Thanks for the +1 tho!

I'm bad, I realy need to pay more attention to the type of format. Well your welcome

What about Render Silent ? It can counter AND prevent them from casting spells for the rest of the turn.

Render Silent would definitely work well with this deck
November 19, 2013 5:04 p.m.
I did consider it, but the thing with Render Silent is that, more often than not, its just a counter. And as far as counters, I'd rather have the Dissolve because it's more flexible cmc wise and it lets me scry, which is huge in a control deck. If its late game and my opponent is casting multiple big spells in a turn, I hopefully have the Silence /Elite Arcanist combo working.

you could always go mainstream and play Sphinx's Revelation which is more of a mainboard card but I'm not sure what I'd sideboad besides things like what I mentioned earlier or Essence Scatter and Negate

I know this deck doesn't have green, but it makes me want to build this Silence / Elite Arcanist combo with a Prophet of Kruphix ... lolz.
November 20, 2013 3:19 p.m.
There are a lot of builds that would be awesome with a Prophet of Kruphix . Such a fun card.

AEtherize for your sideboard, or mainboard if aggro decks are the meta at your FNM
November 23, 2013 9:12 p.m.
I'm trying to get a hold of a couple Cyclonic Rift and maybe another Supreme Verdict . But in the mean time I may add AEtherize , at least as a sideboard for aggro.
