BW Standard Gisela, the Broken Blade Meld. Version II

Thanks for stopping by, I am always looking for suggestions on better cards be that sideboard or main board etc. Please leave a comment and have a great day.

(I played Version 1 at a local standard tournament a few months ago but found that it was to inconsistent. When the Brisela, Voice of Nightmares combo was achieved I won, but found my early game was often to slow, especially if I missed an early land droop. This remake is an attempt to capitalise on what worked and create consistency for this deck to be viable in standard tournaments.

Main Board

Gisela, the Broken Blade The main stay of this deck - she cops a lot of hate and is killed or exiled a lot. I'm considering adding in a 4th but for what...

Bruna, the Fading Light One weakness is if she is exiled early however found late game most removals had already been used.

Thalia's Lancers is a late game search for the Meld combo or Archangel Avacyn  ...

For early game I have added 4x Lone Rider   , 4x Essence Extraction and 3x Blessed Alliance for a turn 3 It That Rides as One   - Original deck lacked this combo and it has worked well in play testing.

Succumb to Temptation , Liliana, the Last Hope and a late Sorin, Grim Nemesis provide card advantage.I am considering replacing 2x Gideon, Ally of Zendikar for another 2x Succumb to Temptation ...

Side Board

2x Flaying Tendrils for low level board wipes and 1x Fumigate to provide a broader board wipe.

Added 4 Fragmentize to combat Smuggler's Copter and Aetherworks Marvel which are popular at the moment.

Added 3 Lost Legacy to remove Emrakul, the Promised End or other nasty cards.

Added 2 Stasis Snare to help battle Archangel Avacyn  , Emrakul, the Promised End or similar combo's.
