Deck discussion for Zealous Humility

It still looks like you have thought this out pretty well though. Let me clarify though, just to make sure I'm seeing this correctly: Isochron Zealous Persecution, play Humility, and proceed from there? The only thing that I can think of is that you might want to consider Orzhov Pontiff. He's already a 1/1 and is just another way to combo with humility for a board wipe (2, potentially).

Other than that, I can't really say. Looks like it could be highly annoying to play against.

Please comment on my "Power of the Orzhova" deck.

I'll look into how the whole Haunt mechanic will work with Humility. Isochron Scepter isn't really necessary, but it does help divide their attention. Humility is much more likely to survive when there's a Scepter with a board wipe on it... i just need to find the right way to go with creatures. There aren't too many ways to make an army that don't rely on creature's abilities.

I was thinking less of the haunt mechanic as a whole and more specifically just the Pontiff, since his ability is essentially a board wipe with humility. The only thing is, now that I think about it, would Haunt even work with humility, seeing as Humility strips all abilities from creatures.

As for a creature base, it seems like token producers would be best. I forget the name at the moment, but the spell that puts 3 1/1 spirit tokens for 3 white mana could be useful, and if you could get around the mana cost somehow, Storm Herd would probably help solve your creature problems.

Agreed. i was just thinking about Baku Altar and Spirits and Arcane spells. I might go with Esper colors and add Djinn Illuminatus and Spiritual Visit. Replicate the Visit as many times as possible to put a crap load of counters on the Altar. That's about all I can think of.

Spectral Procession was the name of the card, and those are definitely going in.

I'm retarded. Djinn Illuminatis would never work.

You might also consider Raise the Alarm, Promise of Bunrei, and Martial Coup. All give decent card advantage, and Martial Coup can act as another board wipe if you pay enough mana for it.

And not to bother, but if you could comment on my orzhov deck, that would be helpful. I'm only planning to use it for casual play since I don't play tourneys, but i could use all the help I can get to smooth out any wrinkles it has.

Godhead of awe would set your opponents creatures up to be 1/1s permanently, and you could keep the abilities of your creatures, only problem would be the fact that it costs 5 white mana since you are just running black and white.

Humility and the Curse of Death's Hold is a good lock. That could work really well actually...

humility, icy manipulator and Isochron scepter with: -holy light -orim's chant or -zealous persecution.
Low casting cost, quick, and painful. You can even add in a Caltrops. For creatures...you can consider either Godhead of Awe, Razor Golem, Wall of resistance, soul warden and nomads en-kor. And you can even throw in Ajani Goldmane and/or Elspeth, knight errant planeswalker. Glorious anthem is perfect, never thought of it. Enlightened tutor is a good way to get your combo out quickly. But Charge across the araba, might slow you down. Morale is also a good instant to have. Otherwise, very good deck, and fun to play with. It's the closest you'll get to a white control deck!
