Score: 5


Description

Please +1 if you like the setup! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as well.

  • Buff up creatures fast and then doublestrike with silverblade paladin.
  • If you can block my creatures, then use guildmage to get the damage through.

Sideboard is built to react to the other top tournament decks I have seen:

Control/Removal: -2 typhoid rats, -3 predators gambit, +2 Duress, +3 Faith's Shield

Reanimator: +3 Rest in Peace, - 3 Oblivion Ring

Mill: - 2 Typhoid Rats, -2 Vizkopa Guildmage, +2 Duress, +2 Unburial Rites

Boros: - 2 Duress, +2 Typhoid Rats

Planeswalkers (Jace, Taimyo): + 2 Pithing Needle

Updates

— Feb. 11, 2013

I updated this deck from the tournament I competed in yesterday. I finished 4th out of 20 with a few misplays that probably knocked me down from 2nd or 3rd. It's a good deck but it still falls victim to removal pretty easily.

Let me know if you think I can make any other improvements.

Thanks!!

Nice deck, I was trying to think of ideas for Orzhov aggro and a lot of my ideas seem to be in your deck. What about High Priest of Penance or Thrill-Kill Assassin ?

With life gain why not run Chalice of Life  Flip ?

I like the idea of putting a Chalice of Life in the sideboard if I have a lot of life but get creature wiped. Thanks!

I'm not totally sure how I would use the priests?

You could use High Priest of Penance along with Frontline Medic

I like the High Priest and Frontline Medic combo. I don't use enough creatures to really implement this combo though. But I do appreciate the advice. I also updated the deck to the recent improvements I made after more tournaments.

THANKS!!

Please +1 if you like.

@dbrannon

What good is Deviant Glee going to do? I don't use red mana.

This deck is basically Orzhov Deck Wins (similar to RDW). I need speed, not control (Sphere of Saftey). I could maybe use one sphere of safety in the sideboard.

Thanks for the suggestions though. I do appreciate it!
