This is a deck that is certainly a work in progress, I would like to add 2-3 liliana the last hope to the deck, but do to low funds im not currently able to add them.

The sideboard is clearly a mess, I wanted to add more duress, but havent do to rotaion, the same goes for languish, hoping a better sweeper comes along, ive also been thinking about adding turn aside to the deck to protect my permanents.

I chose to the slaughter to deal with creatures obviously, but this deck should be able to turn on delirium in order to deal with planeswalkers.

Collective brutality is in the side for control matchups, and the two Thalia's are to side in against more aggro decks.

Ive wanted to play sphinx of the final word for awhile now, and feel it could be a decent finisher.

Havent tested this as of yet, but really want to, any suggestions are very welcome/considered.

Went 1-2 at FNM — Sept. 2, 2016
Edit

Just an update if anyone is interested. This deck went 1 win two losses at Friday Night Magic, match one was a 2-0 win against a budget U/B zombies deck, that deck just couldn't win, it really wasn't even a competition against my deck, my deck did everything I wanted it to, kill his stuff until I could get to my finishers, in this case Avacyn, Linvala and of course Sorin was The win con.

Match two was a whole different story, went up against a Temur Splendid reclamation deck that ran the Eldrazi triumvirate of Emrakul, Ulamog and yes even big Daddy Kozilek. He dumped all his lands, K returns and even some of his creatures into his graveyard just to return them all when he wanted, it was a blowout that I just couldnt deal with in game one. Game two same thing, tried to slow him down by negating an attempt or two of him filling his graveyard, while beating him down with an Avacyn and a Thalia's lancers, got him down to 3 life before he just took over, he was able to cast all three Eldrazi in that game, it was disheartening but also a sight to see, his deck was really good, on top of the fact that he is a more seasoned veteran at MTG than I.

Match three was against a Temurge deck, game one took forever, I was able to hold out for a good long while,even after him casting Emrakul more than once, but eventually there was nothing I could do against him returning Em from the graveyard, and/or casting a second. Game two went to time(thats how long game one was) but I have no doubt he would have won again do to Emrakul.

So....what I learned, Emrakul is a boss lol, this deck needs two things, Liliana(2-3) in the main and a couple summary dismissal's in the side, maybe even a couple hard counter spells(void shatter maybe), also reflector mage did very well in this deck, better than I thought, got rid of tokens, removed Emrakul for a turn to buy me time etc...Thalia out of the side may be removed, but I'd like to be able to test against a couple deck's other than Emrakul deck's before I make that decision.

Anyway's, thanks for reading if you are, and I'll update again next Friday hopefully.
