Made a huge change to the deck based on suggestions, I still need to get quite a bit of the new cards, mostly the expensive ones.

I submit Gideon JuraMTG Card: Gideon Jura, Venser, the SojournerMTG Card: Venser, the Sojourner, and virtually all of the new DKA spirits for your careful consideration.

Dungeon GeistsMTG Card: Dungeon Geists Would be great instead of ClaustrophobiaMTG Card: Claustrophobia. Def recomend Gideon JuraMTG Card: Gideon Jura as well.

Village Bell-RingerMTG Card: Village Bell-Ringer Might be useful if you want to tap a whole line of monsters with your Gideon's LawkeeperMTG Card: Gideon's Lawkeeper and Avacynian PriestMTG Card: Avacynian Priest. Also, Niblis of the BreathMTG Card: Niblis of the Breath is a much better alternative to Avacynian PriestMTG Card: Avacynian Priest, especially with all the human decks I've been seeing in standard.

Obvious one, but putting in Seachrome CoastMTG Card: Seachrome Coast x4 and Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress x4 in exchange for 8 basic lands will make this deck even better. Tell me how it works out, it looks really fun to play!

Frost TitanMTG Card: Frost Titan and Y U NO call it Tapped Out? lol

March 12, 2012 12:36 p.m.

Not sure if it's standard but Curse of ChainsMTG Card: Curse of Chains would run really nicely in this deck :3

Burden of GuiltMTG Card: Burden of Guilt is also fun

What if they play no creatures? What is your plan VS control decks? Perhaps you can do something in your sideboard to remove creatures for fewer smaller creatures and a few larger ones as well as add in some control? Day of JudgmentMTG Card: Day of Judgment and DissipateMTG Card: Dissipate for example. Also Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extraction can help against control. Obviously not comprehensive but thought I'd share...I tried to build something very similar myself a few months back.

Due RespectMTG Card: Due Respect would be an interesting card to see thrown in there, especially in combo with Sunblast AngelMTG Card: Sunblast Angel, on their turn you tap everything and boom all their creatures are out next turn. Also, just an idea as a response to shawning, if you come up against a deck using minimal or no creatures you could sideboard in SpellskiteMTG Card: Spellskite x3 for the Stonehorn DignitaryMTG Card: Stonehorn Dignitary x3 to deal with control decks as you wittle them down. Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extraction is a must in your sideboard as well.

I would go with a land ratio of 7 PlainsMTG Card: Plains: 4 IslandMTG Card: Island. With 4 Seachrome CoastMTG Card: Seachrome Coast and 4 Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress, that comes to about 6 Islands and 10 PlainsMTG Card: Plains.

Thanks everyone, I'm actually going to get some Dungeon GeistsMTG Card: Dungeon Geists, Seachrome CoastMTG Card: Seachrome Coast, Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress, and Frost TitanMTG Card: Frost Titans. I'm also thinking of mainboarding some DissipateMTG Card: Dissipates and then sideboarding some other controll spells, hopefully Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extractions.

Ohthenoises says... #16

honestly i think frost titan is underplayed. You cant target him with inferno titans without paying 2 and if hes swinging every turn he can keep one creature tapped down indefinitely or he can tap lands.

I'm going to agree with a few posts here: Venser, the SojournerMTG Card: Venser, the Sojourner could definitely be added here to make the control elements of your deck by themselves a thing to be even more greatly feared. He forms a further point of synergy for your cards on top of what they already have: with Stonehorn DignitaryMTG Card: Stonehorn Dignitary, alone, aggro decks are completely shut down; it also gives a recharge point for your Tumble MagnetMTG Card: Tumble Magnet, and a reusable board sweeper with Sunblast AngelMTG Card: Sunblast Angel. Not to mention his ultimate - wooo! Also, Venser gives you more options to explore synergy between your control elements and win conditions, e.g., Frost TitanMTG Card: Frost Titan (which I agree is underplayed) would both be a win-con and (reusable) point of control. On top of that, whatever your win-con, you could eventually think of adding Day of JudgmentMTG Card: Day of Judgment whilst protecting the win-con with Venser's bounce ability. DoJ might clash with the avenger, but only by trading off with merciless board control.

For the love of god add dungeon geist he is on his knees begging to be put in here

Regarding your control question... I feel like your explanation is pretty solid for the NegateMTG Card: Negates, but you aren't ALWAYS going to tap everything on the board as you hope you could. Its smart to give yourself a backup plan if necessary, possibly filling in some spots with Vapor SnagMTG Card: Vapor Snags to control fairly quick aggro decks so you can get your creature tapping control out on the field. Just a thought.

This needs Gideon Jura

You could throw in one or two Village Bell-RingerMTG Card: Village Bell-Ringer (one of my favorite Innistrad commons) so you could either get multiple uses out of each tapper, throw in some blockers out of nowhere, or tap all their guys and drop a Bell-Ringer to untap your Gideon's LawkeeperMTG Card: Gideon's Lawkeepers and such and then drop a Sunblast AngelMTG Card: Sunblast Angel and wipe their board.

Nice Idea!

This deck will utilized underplayed cards like Gideon's AvengerMTG Card: Gideon's Avenger, Sunblast AngelMTG Card: Sunblast Angel and Tumble MagnetMTG Card: Tumble Magnet. Nice to see a new kind of deck.

add:

Seachrome CoastMTG Card: Seachrome Coast and Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress - for mana fixing.

Frost TitanMTG Card: Frost Titan, Dungeon GeistsMTG Card: Dungeon Geists and Gideon JuraMTG Card: Gideon Jura

to make this deck more awesome!
