thanks, I have been considering adding Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to the main, I just haven't tried it yet. I think the best way wold be to run 2-3 along with Wall of Omens similar to the way RWU splinter-twin was.

Hey, solid list! I moved from hard control over to Nahiri not too long ago, but I think I still have a couple things to say.

Personally, I wasn't sold on Archangel Avacyn  Flip and it was also hard to control how and when she flips. I think you could cut her, and even Keranos, God of Storms can be too slow or a liability against opposing Nahiri deck. With that said, I still think they can be solid cards, but maybe running Goblin Dark-Dwellers in their place is a better 5-drop because it provides value on ETB and synergizes with Ancestral Vision and Restoration Angel. Just some food for thought.

I think the sideboard is a little all over the place and it's hard to address. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker seems like a wasted slot to be honest because unless you're a dedicated combo deck, you won't pull it off very frequently and running it just for ETB shenanigans doesn't seem worth it due to its fragility. Ojutai's Command is versatile, but slow, and the fourth Lightning Helix seems a little unnecessary. If you feel the need for more burn/aggro hate, look into 1-2 Timely Reinforcements.

While I'm not a fan of Pyroclasm I can understand running it. I would still recommend a second Anger of the Gods before running Pyroclasm. You also don't need 2 Celestial Purge these days. Look into cutting one of those.

With all your cuts I recommend adding more counterspells for your sideboard such as Dispel or Negate. Versatile counterspells help hit a lot of decks, making them awesome sideboard tools that you end up bringing into a lot of your matches.

Lastly, look into adding your 4th Ancestral Vision in there somewhere, especially if you decide to go with the maindeck Goblin Dark-Dwellers plan. Good luck and I'd be happy to respond to any questions or concerns with what I've said.

Thank you olag. so for the side-board, i haven't updated it in a while, i agree with you for the most part but I will keep Celestial Purge as it is the best answer to Nahiri. I like Goblin Dark-Dwellers i just haven't tried it yet.

Maybe a Vendilion Clique? Not to much power as far as creatures so maybe a Geist of Saint Traft?

@darklord1135 thanks for the suggestions but this deck doesn't need creatures, the plan is to win once the bored is clear of threats, with Jace, the Mind Sculptor or Celestial Colonnade and Snapcaster Mage

Nice. Now all you need to do is rename this to "The American Government" and it will be perfect.
