"Soul of the lost, withdrawn from its vessel.Let strength be granted so the world might be mended"

This deck attempts at killing the opponent with hard to deal with creatures while maintaining control over the board with spells and planes walkers. Liliana of the Veil removes creatures and with plenty of flashbacks her +1 ability is valuable for us. Jace, Architect of Thought gives us great card advantage with his -2 while we weaken attackers with his +1. Dimir Charm is good removal early game against the many 2/X creatures but with Jace those 3/X creatures are going to suffer too.

Disruption and control help get damage through while protecting us at the same time. Obzedat, Ghost Council and AEtherling help close the game down .

Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and Liliana of the Veil can lock done aggro and midrange decks easily when paired.

My sideboard gives me answers to other decks if I need them be it Gideon, Champion of Justice for control or Terminus for aggressive builds with a lot of indestructables.

#2 in tournament @ rockin rooster comics and games — May 17, 2013

Edit

Went undefeated tonight at FNM. I went against some very aggressive decks but managed to go 2-0 against all of them. I ended up splitting between the other guy and walked out 2nd out of 16. My match ups were:

Boros aggro 2-0

Naya aggro 2-0 (opponent had a nut draw with 3 Burning-Tree Emissarys but I countered the first one to slow them down.)

W/U/R control 2-0 (I went very aggressive this game by playing a Geist of Saint Traft with Cavern of Souls followed by Liliana of the Veil then Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. After his wrath I sealed the game with my AEtherling.

Gruul aggro 1-1 (We decided to split since we both went undefeated) I ended up just playing my grixis for fun afterwards.
