Any Good "Win-Conditions"
Legacy forum
Posted on July 16, 2014, 3:46 p.m. by FALLEN-X-ANGEL
My friend is looking for some good win conditions for His Orzhov Control deck. Just came here to see if anyone has good ideas for legacy win condition in an orzhov deck.
Competitive would be Batterskull + Stoneforge Mystic and the Swords of X and Y.

B/W Legacy is typically referred to as Pikula (after Mr. Pikula himself). Some strong examples can be found here. Any format where Stoneforge Mystic is legal will probably use it plus Batterskull or Umezawa's Jitte , possibly a Sword of X&Y from Mirrodin.

X_Kawaii-Extremist_X, can you post a decklist? I assumed in my first comment that you didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a competitive deck like Pikula, since you're not aware that B/W control doesn't exist in legacy. Actually control is very rare in legacy, 90% of the decks are either tempo or combo.

My friend Elemental_Remix has it, yet it's not finished. He plans to change it to Esper Control. Somehow. I can't post his deck because it leads to a completely different deck but just click on his name, then go to decks and just go to his deck named "orzhov control". He really does need help. He's more of a budget player though. Me on the other hand I play U/W Control and I've had a lot of comments when I visited Washington, bought a lot of cards for the deck and had some people help me make edits of what to take out.

Yea, the standard one is it. He's new to the site and hasn't heard of the other formats. He's only heard of Commander, and legacy.

Lingering Souls , Mishra's Factory , Grindstone + Painter's Servant , Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace , Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void , Dark Confidant + Sensei's Divining Top , Deathrite Shaman , Elspeth, Knight-Errant , Tombstalker , Nether Spirit , Cursed Scroll , Goblin Charbelcher , Auriok Salvagers + Lion's Eye Diamond , Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion , Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage , Dark Depths + Vampire Hexmage , Sorin, Lord of Innistrad , Tidehollow Sculler , Bitterblossom , opponent concedes and many more. Finding wincon shouldn't be problem, there is planty of them.

if he's running board wipe orzhov like Damnation or Wrath of God id suggest Bonehoard and Stoneforge Mystic .. highly suggest Vindicate for any orzhov legacy competitive

Just for Table-top shenanigans I like Nuking the field with Wrath of God followed by nuking the lands with Desolation Angel then you slowly swing away getting lands back with Crucible of Worlds pulled it off a few times and its so satisfying tbh

You mean legacy-legal or legacy competitive? For a casual deck I'd suggest something like Obzedat, Ghost Council but that's way too slow to be competitive.
