Have you been dealing with competitive decks in your meta lately?

Tired of lossing turn 2 or 3 to quick combo decks?

Are you ready to punish those evil doers with JUSTICE?!

Well get ready to say to say the magic phrase...

WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE

This deck tech is pretty simple but the deck itself will be hard to operate especially with very little tutors or recursion we do have that's viable.

The goal is simple slow the game down (to a halt if need be). Our commander is pretty busted because she/he has the ability to turn off quick combo decks or slow down ramp heavy decks in general. Lavinia, Azorius Renegade is a very strong two drop hate bear, she turns off free spells like Force of Will and Isochron Scepter imprinted spells. Her other abilty also slows decks that are heavy in mana dorks or mana rocks. All for a mere .

Our deck operates as a lock out deck, we want to deprive those dirty THOTS of any hope of playing a game normally as we can.

Why do we hate thots?

We don't hate thots, we just dislike fighting decks that are insanely not power balanced. For example, when you have a pod of decks that are more battle crusier and a young fellow walks in ready to pumble on some decks that he knows are weaker. Well, someone has to stop him right? That's where you come in. You have been given this deck to oppose those who think they are above the law of EDH. Those who think hey I will build decks just to harm children... Okay not that far but you get my point.

Why Hate bears and not just control spells?

Well junior cadet, we have learned after so many years of playing decks that consist of only counter spells. You will eventually run dry. Being proactive is safer and gives you the ability to work around your build and still operate at both sorcery speed and instant speed. Cards like Cursed Totem and Stony Silence to help us stop other players from using their utility. This allows us to focus more on achieving our goal which is oppressing those thots.

Win Con

Our win condition sort of rests on us either controlling the game completely or ultimating our planeswalker for their game ending power.

#1: Knowledge Pool : is our best friend it will lock everyone our of casting spells (besides their pesky commanders). We will focus on getting this out if we can without any risk of course. We need to be safe because this is our main win con and we don't want it toyed with. After successfully casting it along with your general out we basically win the game. Our Elspeth, Sun's Champion basically makes enough blockers and eventually turns those small guys into our Anti Thot Air Force. We can also use our reserve force, Luminarch Ascension .

Now, if our main win con ends up going to the dumps. Fear not because we are renegades ready with a back up. Now it is not as pretty or easy as the other one. But it is really full-filling once we activate protocol: Beat Up Those Thots or better known as B.U.T.T. . We will try our best by controlling proactively and defeating the most threatening thot that is ahead of us and move down the lane.

good match ups

Control type decks

Combo type decks

Weenie type decks

Midrange type decks

Decks we are weak against

Large creature type decks (for example, Dragons, mono green stompee, ect..)

Land type decks (for example, landfall, land destruction, and heavy land ramp type decks)

Turn 1 combo decks... You can only do so much.

Why play this deck?

You play this deck to sort of make EDH a challenge for all players. Most people will frown upon this deck, but let them. In a perfect world everyone will enjoy any deck. This isnt a perfect world and someone needs apply some JUSTICE to these thots. If you Enjoy, control and tempo plays you will enjoy this deck.

If you like quick games, well then you should probably find another deck.

Our great synergies

Ways we can work to control other thots are...

Back to Basics and Thalia, Heretic Cathar , these two help us control multi-colored decks with ease. Well until they are removed at least. Thalia, Heretic Cathar force taps non basics that our opponent controls. Which, so happens works pretty well with Back to Basics

Dream Halls and Lavinia, Azorius Renegade work great in tandem with each other. Allowing us to cheat out spells by discard, while also denying our opponent that ability to do so.

Eye of the Storm and Lavinia, Azorius Renegade shuts off other players instant and sorcery spells also lets us link spells together and possibly get win in there.

Alms Collector and Timetwister or Windfall Allows us to score some extra cards (3 on a four man pod) from our wheels while making them more one sided letting our opponents draw a single card.

Knowledge Pool and Arcane Laboratory is a lock outside everyone's commander.

Also, as a last resort plan we have Cataclysm and Worldpurge . These cards are extremely strong and can reset the game into our favor. Cards like Eerie Interlude and Teferi's Protection to make this one sided wipes.

Now, that you have stuck it out till the end. Are you willing to take the call to destroy all thots around you?

I hope you enjoyed this deck tech. Let me know your thoughts about it in the comment zone. Thank you for checking out this commander deck based around Lavinia, Azorius Renegade !
