Also Prison Term would suit you better than either Arrest or Pacifism ,

True it's 1 more mana than pacifism, but being able to play it out early on a junk creature and move it at will as more creatures come into play is a huge, huge boon (especially if you don't know what type of deck you're playing against). In either case it'd be a real decent swap for Arrest

I dig that you really kept to the police theme! You might like these: Unquestioned Authority , Diplomatic Immunity , Council's Judgment , Spark Double , Keep Watch , Arrest , Cage of Hands

Also, would White shutdown spells have a place in this deck? By “shutdown spells” i mean cards like Arrest or Guard Duty .

Hey! I think that some bounce spells would be your biggest benifet. They can work on opposing creatures, but can bounce you Arrest ed Hoplite in a pinch. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Thanks hkhssweiss!

I've replaced 3 of the enchantment removals Arrest , Stasis Snare and Pillory of the Sleepless in exchange for a bit more interaction with Utter End , Swords to Plowshares and Unmake . I'm also considering which card I'd want to let go of if I would like Blind Obedience or Authority of the Consuls to slow down the pace.

Thank you for your assistance ^^

Thanks for the ideas Feyamius.

I have play tested most of what you have suggested. Especially the Gateway Plaza,Rupture Spire and the Transguild Promenade. I have found that these lands slow the deck down quite a bit. This is the reason I run the Shimmering Grotto and the Unknown Shores and also the Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds package. Most of the lands (Gates) enter tapped. The Spire, Promenade and the Plaza enter tapped as well and require you to set yourself back even further on top of that by having to pay to keep it in play. They are no good early game. Late game, they can help but by then you should have yourself set up and not need them quite as much.

The Opal Palace and Path of Ancestry will eventually be in here. I don't have extras for this deck yet.

I have played Crop Rotation in the deck. I took it out to add the Search for Tomorrow. I found that it was more times a dead card. I went for ramp instead. I will likely try to add more ramp in the future. It's extremely important to make the land drops and also to get a head of your opponent as this deck plays as a control deck 99% of the time.

Encrust and Arrest have been solid most of the time. They fit the deck quite well. I'm happy with them. With Unmake, The cost is hard to come up with in a 5 color deck.

Soul Manipulation will go in for Remove Soul. Surprised I overlooked that.

As far as adding a Displace. I've thought about it. Although I have shot myself down due to the Drift of Phantasms I play which can be used to search for it (Like running 2 copies) and also running the Izzet Chronarch and Mnemonic Wall the Ghostly Flicker gets recycled and abused. I see no need to add a second flicker effect spell.

The utility lands other than Bojuka Bog don't net me enough benefit to run them. Halimar Depths and Mortuary Mire are the only other two I'd consider.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated!!!

The reasons the card listed above to cut is one of few reasons either they don't do much, better alternatives, or they don't further your game plan enough to make an impact. By meta I meant, the type of decks you are facing as your meta might be filled with more aggro players than if that's the case you might want to add in a Ghostly Prison for example, or if you are facing a lot of reanimation decks than adding in a Relic of Progenitus or Tormod's Crypt can be fairly helpful. Against control players than you might want to consider a lot Silence/Orim's Chant effects.

Aside from that, some non-budget friendly cards are the obvious Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Teferi's Protection, or Vedalken Orrery. Winding Canyons can also be helpful to flash out Evra or your Felidar Sovereign to sneak in that win.

Hope that helps!

Well, if you want to punish wannabe cEDH for ruining everyone's fun, why not considering also have a Ghostly Prison ? Also, Arrest cost 1 more but it's more annoying than Pacifism .

And you can always get even meaner by adding some BLUE to the picture! ;-)

I did something similar in my deck Hanna's World, which also features Avacyn although not as a general (and I hardly ever play).
