Deck Description

Standard, Bant based, 5 color midrange control...

How to Play

Ramp, draw cards, gain lots of life... ...end the threats with Terminus & Serenity... ...cast Bolas & corner your opponent into an unlivable situation...

I use Scour instead of Think Twice, because it comboes with Azorius Charm's 2nd ability(creature on top of library) & Scour is also cheaper wich I prefer much...


The sideboard has a lot of counters in case I'm up against a Thragtusk user midrange, or Esper/USA/Grixis control...

I have Elixir for mill decks... ...many USA control decks use Memory Adept in the sideboard for decks that use many Sphinx's Revelation, so I really need the Elixir... ...since I play lots of draw spells, I likely get one of the 2 elixir in hand before it got milled away, so I don't need a 3rd.......

I have the extra Serenity for fast aggro decks that has a strong set of removal, because I'd probably need that 3rd Angel in the deck to increase the chanses of drawing 2...

Supreme Verdict is great when I'm up against USA tempo - control, or a counter filled USA aggro... ...sometimes I need more wipes, so I like to add it beside Terminus.......

Gisela is an extra finisher in case I ren into a Jund/Grixis deck that has 3-4 Slaughter Games in the sideboard & a strong set of bord removal... ...they usually don't have time to use those in time & probably won't draw all of them, but I like to evade all that is possible... ...the main perpouse of Gisela is to use her in long ass games that I might need more aces for... ...she's also good, when I have Kessig Wolf Run on board... ...if I have a Thraagtusk in addition, things only get better....... :)


...I think this deck might proven to be a big one...
