First tourny — July 20, 2012

I changed the deck to match what I played on thrusday. I went 1-2 :(

Round 1: 2-0 vs g/w humans Round 2: 1-2 vs g birthing pod / undying. I blew him out game 1. No land game 2. All land game 3. Round 3: 0-2 vs grixis plainswalkers. too much removal and hand disruption for me to handel. I scooped both times when Karn Liberated hit the board. (i hate that card)

In friendly games before the tourny, my deck seemed very strong. I even got a turn 4 kill.

I built this deck to be post rotation, but I would probably use Go for the Throat for now instead of Murder .

any other current cards that would help that i forgot?

-1 Murder -1 Lingering Souls +2 Oblivion Ring just to add in some more flexibility.

I almost think that you could drop your Ring of Xathrid for a full playset of Lingering Souls . If Sublime Archangel hits the field, then 4 spirit tokens per spell is going to make a big, big difference.

I was thinking of the ring's regen ability saving the Tormented Soul or whatever I swing with while the additional +1/+1 counter would be a bonus. But you make a valid point, they can boost damage through the archangel and can be chump blockers.

You could perhaps drop your Sorin, Lord of Innistrad s for the rings. He's good, but doesn't make a whole lot of sense in an exalted deck. If you don't already have them it will also save you a decent chunk of cash.

Ok, i now have 4 Lingering Souls . I am keeping the Sorins because I already have them and he can win games on his own.

has anyone play tested this against wolf run ramp? bc im thinking of making this for my area, but wolf run is the main meta and the U/W planeswalkers control.

for a cheaper solution to this deck theres always Gather the Townsfolk instead of using planeswalkers.

#12

I am curious, how is Gather the Townsfolk a replacement for planeswalkers?

I would add more exalted stuff if i couldn't get the planeswalkers... Which ill have to do for now. Ajani is hard to get. :(

i love the card:Faith's Shield for the big swing-in, and to deter removal. how do you find Nefarox does? i couldn't justify the expensive spot. i like the idea of doing mass damage with less 'scary' dudes you know? here's my take on the deck, it goes harder on the tokens as an alternate win Moral Support (B/W Exalted Tokens) check it out :) +1

Take the rings out for Fiend Hunter.

Essence Harvest . If you cast it after attacking you double the damage you deal and steal some life. I'm using it in my Exalted Assassin.

Those are interesting ideas. I'll have to try them out...

I keep getting color-screwed and i don't know what to do about it because it's not just needing more white every game. It fails in both directions: needing black and having only white or needing that 2nd white and never seeing it.

You have far too many 3-drops. If you want to use this successfully at FNM you need to smooth your curve a lot.
