Standard Aggro Combo Control FNM Infinite Combo RBW (Mardu)

Sideboard


This deck is my take on the Aristocrats and it aims to completely slow down aggro match ups while controlling the board state nd combing off of Reckoner and Blood Artist. The deck functions fairly well on all stages of the game. During the early game the reckoners and high priest of penance just take out aggro because they know that most of the time they will lose their board presence if they attack. During the midgame I have established a pretty good board state and can be hitting very hard with Falkenrath Aristocrats or going infinite lifegain with Boros Reckoner. In the late game I can have an incredible board state where one blasphemous act can win me the game, also the infinite lifegain because mor elf an option because of the amount of cards I have drawn up to that point; also Vault of the Archangel will slow down any of my opponents huge creatures like angel of serenity or other bombs by making my 1/1 spirits killing machines. Overall the deck has been working very well and it is definitely a change in pace from my old deck, Naya Humans. Any and all suggestions are appreciated and so is the +1 button, thanks.

First round I played against Naya Midrange and game 1 I wiped the board a couple of times after stabalizing with high priest of penance and ended up winning with Blasphemous Act and Blood Artist shennanigans. Then in game 2 I went turn 3 Boros Reckoner, then turn four swing with it, he flashes in restoration angel for a blocker and I use moment of heroism and Boros charm for infinite life combo. Win in 2. Second round I played against Bant Wolfrun and game 1 I was able to stabilize and keep a Boros Reckoner out until a big blasphemous act with lots of blood artists out while swinging in with falkenrath aristocrats for the past couple turns, game 1 win. Game 2 I got 4 of the 7 cards I side boarded in including ghost quarter, 2 slaughter games, and a skull crack. He got mana screwed and I slaughter games his thragtusks and sphinxes revelation then he scooped. Win in 2. Third round I played against a golgari aggro deck and he had lots of dreg mangles out in the first game but I was eventually able to stabalize the board and got out a couple blood artists then blasphemous acted and gained like 12 life whilst Boros Reckoner death the rest of the 13 damage to finish him off. Game 2 I was able to kill off nearly everything he sent out and gradually beat in with tokens and Reckoner. Win in 2. Fourth round I played against a junk midrange/reanimator deck and game 1 he got really close to gaining lots of life with Trostani but I was able to kill it off and eventually use 3 Boros charm in a row to deal 12 damage and that closed up game 1. Then in game 2 he got severely mana screwed and I had a very borosy kind of hand with 2 Boros charms, so after I brought him down to like 10 he scooped. Win in 2. Overall it was a fantastic night and the deck functioned exactly the way I had hoped it would considering it went undefeated. Anyways, I now have a new found love for blasphemous act. :)
