Devotion —Dec. 13, 2013

So this just got really experimental. I've been running the deck lately as a sort of black devotion with a green splash or Reaper of the Wilds, Abrupt Decay, and Golgari Charm, which has had some mixed results. I feel these three cards are strong enough that, with enough backup, can stand on their own in my main board (I also just think they're really) and warrant this seemingly odd build. Essentially this list reflects the deck running as a control-leaning midrange BG deck, which can change gears and transform into a full-on mono lack devotion deck with a green splash.

I'm working on a sideboard plan, and I'm sure this list will evolve as that comes to fruition as well, but I look forward to testing this deck tomorrow night

I love it man! awesome build I might take out the caryatids for maybe some more scoozes. also i would consider Deadbridge Chant because since you are so controlling it will be like an extra draw step. also you can help change the odds in your favor by sniping out unwanted cards with deathrite shaman or scooze. please check out my deck Don't bother, I'll kill it anyway (rock) of similar build and insult all my choices. +1 from me

I also highly recomend Gaze of Granite for the side board, excellent against not only tokens but any devotion deck as well

Thanks! I used to run Gaze of Granite in the sb but i never found myself with enough mana for it to make any impact. I'm getting some other mixed reactions from running a playset of Sylvan Caryatid s, so I may bring that down in exchange for a late-game sweeper like Kalonian Hydra or AEtherling if i suddenly decide to go BUG) I'll definitely check your deck out
