White/Blue Wincons/Combos needed for Grand Arbiter Augustin IV EDH Deck
Deck Help forum
Posted on May 23, 2013, 11:08 p.m. by Joshuawesome
I've tried making some 3 color EDH decks recently, only one of which I cared for ultimately.. wanna try my hand at dual colors. I'm trying to overcome my aversion to using counterspells, so I'm attempting to making a white/blue control deck using Grand Arbiter Augustin IV as Commander, but I can't think of anything I can include as a win con. Help would be appreciated. I'm also interested in some ideas for some snazzy combos to include.

Since you can run white, why not try the Helm of Obedience
+ Rest in Peace
combo? It would snipe a single opponent quite quickly.
When it comes to blue, Bribery can be a win condition in itself. Oh, I'll go ahead and take your blightsteel or eldrazi and beat you in the face for a couple turns. Your general lends itself to spells with x in the cost. Blue Sun's Zenith would be pretty good and help you draw a lot of cards.

Are you looking to make this deck super competitive?
Also, what is your budget?

Epochalyptik Looking to make it as good as possible in 1v1, and decent in multi if that's doable. $500, but can prolly go a little higher.

And aside from the land help I mentioned, I'm interested in any assistance with non-land suggestions.

If you can bounce their commander to the bottom of their deck you can practically mill them out with Tunnel Vision

I personally have no experience with with grand arbiter, but check out Copied GAAIV Deck. It recently top 8'd a major 100 player tournament in France. Obviously, it's not my deck, I just copied/pasted it since it is nearly impossible to find a decent GAAIV list anywhere and I like having one to playtest against. Keep in mind, it uses the duelcommander ban list, so many changes would need to be made, but it is intended for 1v1 and should be a good resource.

Check the post dates before you comment. You just necro'ed a 1.3-year-old thread to post a link to your own deck.
