White Hate Deck: Ephemeral Dreams 3.0

When I was doing researching into the weakness of my black reanimator deck Hadal Depths one thing that picked my interest was the amount of white hate that can be used against it, and after some research on those white cards I decided make a deck using them. Initially it was supposed to be a direct counter to my reanimator deck but when I came across the combo Grand Abolisher + Silence I changed my path from a deck just to punish other decks that don´t cast their cards the normal way to a deck that will make the environment of the game as harsh as possible to my opponent no matter the type of deck it uses. As I´m normally a player that focuses more into fast combo decks, slower control decks like this one are not something that I'm very familiar with so any suggestions are appreciated.

Current Combos:

Grand Abolisher + Silence this combo can render your opponent almost unable to cast any card.
Isochron Scepter can combo with every instant in this deck to imprint them so that you can cast your main support and hate instants anytime that Isochron Scepter is and you have the mana needed to activate its imprint skill.
- Dawn Charm + Isochron Scepter to prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn or regenerate target creature or counter target spell that targets you.
- Isochron Scepter + Path to Exile to exile a target creature by given its controller a chance to search its library for a basic land and place it in the battlefield
- Isochron Scepter + Rebuff the Wicked to counter target spell that targets a permanent you control.
- Isochron Scepter + Silence to prevent your opponent from cast any spells after Silence copy resolves during the turn you cast it.
Gift of Estates + Path to Exile if an opponent as more lands than you do to the Path to Exile effect you can cast Gift of Estates to search in your library for up to 3xPlains and place them in your hand.
Knight of the White Orchid + Path to Exile f an opponent as more lands than you do to the Path to Exile effect you can cast Knight of the White Orchid to activate is ability to search in your library for a Plains and place it on the battlefield.
Leonin Arbiter + Path to Exile to prevent your opponent of searching its library for a basic land do to the effect of Path to Exile unless it pays .
Ghost Quarter + Leonin Arbiter to prevent your opponent of searching its library for a basic land do to the effect of Ghost Quarter unless it pays .
Aven Mindcensor + Path to Exile to make your opponent only able to search the top four cards in its library.
Aven Mindcensor + Ghost Quarter to make your opponent only able to search the top four cards in its library.

Removed Cards:

Aegis of the Gods / Angelic Arbiter / Eight-and-a-Half-Tails / Hushwing Gryff / Iona, Shield of Emeria / Kataki, War's Wage / Planar Cleansing / Rule of Law / Runed Halo

This is all the cards that were on the deck at some point but were removed. They may be included again if needed.

Minor Update (3.0) — April 3, 2015

Edit

Another update to do some minor adjustments to the deck.

Cards removed and reason:

Main Deck:
- 2xImposing Sovereign there is really no need for more than two copies of this card in the main deck and those two spots are needed.
Sideboard
- 2xKataki, War's Wage because I almost never needed to use this card and as so is almost a dead weight.

Cards added and reason:

Main Deck:
- 2xReturn to the Ranks for its combo with Wrath of God as well as given use to the creatures in the graveyard don't letting them be wasted there.
Sideboard
- 2xAven Mindcensor for its combo with Path to Exile and Ghost Quarter as well as a source of restriction against opponents Fetch Lands.

Cards tested but not added and reason:

I once again went through all the process of testing Iona, Shield of Emeria but ended up in the same position as last Update (2.0) not knowing what to do with it and since I really dont want rise the average cost of this deck and also have no plans to remove Linvala, Keeper of Silence from the Sideboard, I will remove Iona, Shield of Emeria from this deck until the day she is needed again.

Minor Update (2.0) — Feb. 4, 2015
