Oh, pretty nifty thing I picked up the other day too. If you activate the Spawnsire of Ulamog's 20 mana cost ability, than you can play "All is Dust" because it's a Tribal Eldrazi Sorcery. As long as you resolve It That Betrays before All is Dust, you can gain control of all the colored permanents, including all lands, creatures and enchantments they may have on the field. Then if you resolve Emrakul the Aeons Torn afterwards, you'll gain another turn after you summon Emrakul. So you're pretty much looking at a straight shot at your opponent's (or opponents') life points and they will have no creatures or enchantments to block with, and even if they have a card in their hand that could counter your attack or render it useless, they can't play it because they have no lands to tap for mana to play them with. At this point in the game, the W is essentially yours. Enjoy!

B/G Control

2nd @ Gameday 10/27/12

Cosmicfool, 12 years ago

2nd place at R2R Gameday (10/27/12) Losing only to first place holder who was running a fast paced Rakdos Demon deck

Update #1

FyreBlastkin, 12 years ago

I really need to test this deck out, because I expected nobody to ever comment on it. So, I did what Hidden_Blade recommended and made one more Rakdos, took out Rakdos's Return in favor of Thundermaw Hellkite. (Always loved that card. Pulled one from my first box. Shame I don't have it anymore. q_q Keep the suggestions coming. It helps a lot.

DragonKing1997, 12 years ago

Round 1: Played a Jund deck I was going to beat him next turn, but then he pulled a bonfire of the dammed for 11 then swinged with avacyn pilgrim for game. Second match got slaughter

Round 2: Played a blue white reanimation, I got mana screwed both matches.

Round 3: Played Izzet deck, won both times.

Round 4: Played a golgari deck, won both matches.

Round 5: Played Rakdos deck, lost both times.

I concluded that the deck needs more kill, so I'm adding 3x Ultimate Price, 1x Abrupt Decay my friend let me barrow one, and 2x Tribute to Hunger.

FNM

stoopkid, 12 years ago

Played this puppy at FNM on 10-26-12 and went 2-1.

1st round I played was an izzet guttersnipe control deck. I went 2-1 against that. I got mana screwed so i couldn't get anything in our first game. but in the 2nd and 3rd I got Predator Ooze pretty huge and won.

2nd round I played a 4 color ramp, Epic Experiment Deck and went 0-2. He had no creatures in his deck so it was hard to get going fast enough.

3rd round I played against a rakdos deck. I won 2-0. Predator Ooze won the first matchup for me, and Stuffy Doll and ooze won the second for me.

Changes

sgtsouthpaw, 12 years ago

I changed this around a little bit to give it more consistancy than having 2 of everything. i like having one angel and one gisela. It kinda gives me different options of what i want to do to win. Did better after i changed it. Faced a lot of mirror decks and won them.

Halzen, 12 years ago

Skirsdag High Priest gets a lot of hate in play, so a couple other win cons have been added.

Too many lands

babbonatale, 12 years ago

Removed 2 Mountain. Added 2 Changeling Berserker. Thx to player:lil_cheez

Mana

joelxdoom, 12 years ago

I just fixed the mana using the chart tappedout gives you. I would like to add more snapcasters maybe but I don't have even 2 yet so i'm just play testing with proxys atm

marceldizon, 12 years ago

I've tried this deck out last FNM and did pretty well, 2-0 an izzet control on the first round but got beaten by jund deck. My deck couldnt handle 4 Thragtusk

Vorxis, 12 years ago

Updated after quite a long time.

FNM 25-Oct and Game Day 26-Oct

HiMastaHi, 12 years ago

FNM 3-1 and Game day 3-1

This deck is amazing and I lost due to stupid mistakes and opponents nut draw. I lost in the final of FNM to a grixis control deck, first game I had 4 lands to work with and gave him the game once he got Nicol Bolas, Plainswalker out. The second game I should have mulligand an all land had and I kept drawing more

Game day I lost to a selesnia agro deck which overan me in the first game using Revenge of the Hunted. Second game was mine through Liliana of the Veil's -6 ability. last game I lost turn 4 to a strangelroot geist and 2 topdecked Revenge of the Hunteds and 2 Rancor

Bump got Bumped

Valentine35, 12 years ago

Took out Bump in the Night, and added an extra Searing Spear and 2xPillar of Flame...

kirimi, 12 years ago

put in some counter spells and the sideboard is more for when going against aggro will continue deck testing thanks for the tips so far

kirimi, 12 years ago

took out clone and made thrag and resto angel 4 main deck... mist raven surprisingly is bloody amazing especially since without him my only flicker targets are slime, and thrag. He is a repeatable unsummon and when i ghostly flicker the raven and a slime and kill a land + their big baddie goes back to the hand where he usually cannot be played again but i may take out raven for main board detention spheres please give me some input for my sideboard... so far control decks have been wrecking havoc on me when i dont draw early ramp and the fiend hunters i feel are better at 2 in main deck because if i go vs control round one they are useless and vs aggro i can always side in 2 more. but yes all your thoughts help me ALOT

Ahmeng, 12 years ago

Took out Rogue's Passage, 2 Deviant Glee, and a Rakdos Guildgate. I've added 2 Mountain in their place.

First tournament run

MysticEnvoy, 12 years ago

So I went to a semi-local card shop today with a few friends to enter Magic Game Day. Clearly I do not spend enough money on my decks to have them be competitive, which is a bit disheartening. I lost 0-2 in the first round to a B/W/G flicker life gain deck with a lot of flyers, and 0-2 in the second round to a R/B aggro. I had to leave after that, but I got some decent feedback. I'll keep trying to perfect this deck.

erikhandel, 12 years ago

Added Warstorm Surge, works really well with the whole Myr and Wall and Giant army summoning this deck has

RtR game day

agnara, 12 years ago

RtR gameday report:

Local store ran 5 rounds + top 8

Match 1:

Paired up against a Selesnya lifegain deck that splashed black for Lingering Souls' flashback. I managed to get trample on my Brushstriders, which made his 1/1 spirits almost useless at blocking which, I ended up killing him before I saw any of the lifegain. In the second game he had sided in Golgari Charm, which if he had had a black mana would have wiped my side of the board. In the end I got two turn 5 wins

Match 2:

Paired up against an aggressive rakdos deck. Even though I had initially thought this to be a good matchup with both vigilance and prot black in my deck, but I ended up losing both games. The first game I was stuck on two mana, and could only get a single threat out at a time, for which he had just enough removal. The second game I managed to find myself in a similar situation, but this time stuck on a single white mana, with two Silverblade Paladins, and an Elite Inquisitor on hand. Having Gavony Township ended up losing me the game. Getting the right colors can be very very important in this deck.

Match 3:

I'm up against green-black zombies, which I think is one of my best matchups. Game 1 I get a Knight of Glory helped by a Silverblade Paladin to attack for 6 turn 3, followed by another 16 damage turn 4 from Rancor + a Selesnya Charm. Game two I cast a Fencing Ace. With my opponent being low on cards I risk throwing a bunch of enchantments on it, and I attack for 16 turn 3. My opponent scoops.

Match 4:

Up against a similar Selesnya aggro deck, this one featuring Loxodon Smiter and Sublime Archangel instead of my enchantment package. We end up attacking eachother back and forth a few times. Each of us winning the match where he got to play first. His Sublime Archangel worked very well against my deck, as I would not remove stuff from the battlefield, merely rendering them unable to attack with my Bonds of Faith and Burden of Guilt. While I was faster, he would have the bigger creatures if the games went long. I ended up winning 2-1, likely because I won the dice roll.

Match 5:

I draw in to top 8.

Top 8, match 1:

Restoration Angel + Thragtusk we end up racing a bit. I never got my vigilant creatures out, but win 2-1. Incidentally we both win the ones were we start. Doesn't feel as satisfactory as it could have.

Top 8, match 2:

Up against yet another Selesnya player. This one running a lifegain theme. I couldn't handle the lifegain from Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, followed by an Armada Wurm moving him up from 1 hp to a somewhat more comfortable 11

All in all, I had a lot of fun. I think I'll see if I can get a Sublime Archangel as a one or two of, and I got to reevaluate the value of the Gavony Township. As it can easily get in the way of an efficient 3-4 turn kill due to missing colored mana.

Final results. 3-1-1. Lost in semifinals of top 8

Edit: I need to learn the difference between quarter and semi finals.

FNM1

kaesea2, 12 years ago

Please suggest more im planning on taking this deck to FNM and gonna see how it does

Ravnica Game Day

Pelorn, 12 years ago

I tried Silklash Spider vs Entreat the Angels, but discovered that you've probably lost if UWR control is at the point of casting entreat.

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben was a much bigger factor. I increased her count to 4 in the sideboard, and added a complementary 4 Elite Inquisitor. These eight add to or replace Call of the Conclave and Selesnya Charm for fast aggression. Elite Inquisitor obviously gives zombies a sad day as a bonus.

I'm too poor to own Sublime Archangel, so I'm using Angel of Jubilation. If you have sublimes, swap them for the jubilations.

Garruk, Primal Hunter is a pretty big player in this deck, the card draw is very important.

Silverblade Paladin + Loxodon Smiter + trample from Selesnya Charm is very excellent. I've cut Centaur Healer completely for the moment. You can replace Elite Inquisitor with Centaur Healer in the sideboard if you're facing more aggro than control.
