Best possible uses for Venser, the Sojourner in standard

Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 1, 2011, 10:33 p.m. by DofusTal

So I know a lot of people make Venser, the Sojourner ally decks, mnemonic walls decks, titan decks, and even golem decks, but my question is what are some of the best uses of him? The main reason why I'm asking is because I have a Venser, the Sojourner now, but I'm not 100% of what kind of deck I should make. I would also like to be able to use him in a deck after the Zendikar block leaves standard (which means jace, the mind sculptor and Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle also leave standard thank goodness]]. Thank you greatly.

Sea gate oracles and wall of omens should be in any venser deck.

personally I believe he works best in the Ally environment, or in a tight control deck using him to dump something with used counters every turn - that way you can get his emblem.

Just me opinion.

Pierce strider. every time you blink it your opponent loses 3 life. Also sunblast angel. you can blick it to destroy every creature your opponent attacked with.

All of these are good ideas. I'm really tempted to make my cheap ally deck first and then concentrate more on it once Zendikar leaves, because Valakut decks are crazy.

Go green/white with a splash of blue, the green and the white defenders could do good. and some etb effect creatures, like acidic slime, or sea gate oracle, (wall of omens could also be a good target) and back it up with either counter or protection spells. That might help against valakut...

I like bouncing Razor Hippogriff with it to return my mindslaver for infinite control.

Still My Turn (Updated)

Venser in conjunction with Glimmerpoint stag is also useful for bouncing an opponent's creatures until the end of their turn.

Venser is right now my favorite planeswalker in standard. He's not as busted as Mind sculptor, but still one of those planeswalkers that is just so much fun to use.
