Path to Revelation

Thank you!

I really have to get my head around in Modern... ...it's been over 4 years I last playedModern competitively...

yeah i started playing modern this winter, About four years ago i just got some of my first cards! :)

I started playing MTG in 1999, when I was 9... :)

Oh yes, geist of saint traft is so good, if you are in a control matchup and they tap out thinking, ''well the're not going to twin me out'' and you play geist and they pretty much lose. :)

yes they do, and he is hard as all hell to get rid of. i played a guy running a fuull playset of him, and they had rogues passage as a land to make him unblockable, it was absolute nonsense. i lost quite badly

You guys are helping a lot! :)

hey im just glad you put the faeire conclave idea to good use. its an underplayed card!

here goes the crybaby. are you saying you not going to cry this weekend? don't promise anything you cant keep. :)

Sounds like someone's got a secret deck I donno' about... ...is this the reason you haven't put decks up reacently??

You sneaky s_it, I'll make you cry once again!.. ;)

I'm using the infinite turns combo deck anyway... :)

K... ...I'll bust your a_s with it, then we eat it togeather while having a wierd, romantic friday dinner... ...how's DAT?.. ;)

Thanks, mate!..

I do like the idea of adding in Geist of Traft tho,

better off with sword of light and shadow or sword of fire and ice...

I agree with Z. Runechanter's first strike won't do much if he's unblockable. Also snapcaster will be plucking fuel for the runecaster away. Of the two swords, I would pick Fire and Ice. The card draw might serve better than the creature return, unless you draw into a terminus. Its a risk I would take.

Or you could go a different way and put a Loxodon Warhammer in to increase the beats and gain life. Trample wouldn't do much, but who cares. Your aetherling could pound for 11 and it would be a 22 point swing with your life gain.

Or you could go with Moonsilver Spear after a board wipe and start manufacturing some angry angels.

Ha! Ok. So Fire and Ice it is?

Actually, I would vote for Umezawa's Jitte. The protections of the swords aren't as necessary as long as you can exile your guy at will. The charges on the Jitte remain, so when he gets back he can use them. Some pretty good options there too.

On a side note... have you considered Hindering Light instead of Remand? It also lets you draw a card, but doesn't put the card back into the opponent's hand. Other than tempo, I don't really see the advantage of handing the spell back to the evil bad guy.

Anyway, its a hugely powered deck! More brooms than the witches' warehouse!

As a side note... I'm impressed by Sphinxes Revelation, but I wonder if it will work in play. 3 to get it started and then whatever you pump in for X, it might net less than ideal benefit. Maybe if there was a storage land?

Thanks, Shinza, for the effort to come up with all this! I will have stuff to think about & test now... :)

No worries!

You asked for me to take a look,
and take a look I did :)
Hope it helps.

Good deck tho.

Now I run both :)

AEtherling is harder to dealt with... ...he's more relyable as a finisher...

I'm not sure about that question aetherling is almost like a guarenteed finish so for control its perfect.
