So FNM... —June 1, 2013

Two weeks ago I went to FNM and had to leave early. I did pretty darn well until the Esper Control Match up. What are some ways I could tinker the sideboard to do better against that?

Why is Blood Scrivener mainboarded? You really don't want to be emptying your hand in a deck like this, it would probably be better suited in the sideboard for decks running things like Sire Of Insanity and Rakdos's Return (aka jund)

Alright, that seems to be the most criticism I'm getting for the deck. I understand that Blood Scrivener has some issues, and I will probably have 2 Selesnya Charm or Blind Obedience if he really is a dead drop. Scrivener is my favorite card from Dragon's Maze for some reason and I want to try him out. If he doesn't work I'll update. Thanks!

I agree he is an amazing card, but he's not optimized here. Getting him and a Sire Of Insanity out on the other hand...

Although you don't want to empty your hand in Junk midrange, you usually do. I've found Underworld Connections the best in my deck.

I'm not gonna lie, I saw that it was in your deck and I'm definitely considering that. It would go so well with my lifegain theme. I just wish it didn't mess up my curve so bad. Then again.. I don't really plan on playing Scrivener turn two anyways. I might have to pick two of them up.

Ugh I just need to test this thing out already.

Maybe chuck in a few Unburial Rites for one to two Obzedat's Aid ? It can't get your planeswalkers for you, but it can get you a ton of your creatures. And also has a flashback cost for one colorless less. Don't know how in love you are with obzedat's aid, but Unburial Rites just seems like it could be better for your deck. You can get twice the use, just a thought!

Also, I would maybe consider a Craterhoof Behemoth . Between the Resto angels and it having haste, not to mention I've played this color combo before and it does well with keeping creatures on the battlefield. Might as well let them boost up, and give your creatures a heft boost for a win! Don't know how it looks for your CMC, but that would be another suggestion I have.

Thanks for the tips! I played in an FNM finally with this deck. I could only stay for the first 3 rounds. No defeats for the first two matchups (American Control and Gruul Aggro). After that though I faced Esper control that milled me to death as I kept drawing lands. Unburial Rites would have done so much more work than Obzedat's Aid and is probably gonna end up as a 2 of in the sideboard with one aid. Craterhoof Behemoth is interesting and would do great with the tokens. I'm almost looking for a bit more help with control however.
