Enduring Lockdown

Main Deck (63 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Stall with walls until you have the mana for an Enduring Ideal, use it to get 4 paradox hazes, then have fun wrecking your opponents

This is still a work in progress, so constructive criticism is more than welcome!


Edit: Took all the red out, increased mana ramp. Result? Runs waaaaay faster.

I like it. If you want to be a little more agressive once you get the Enduring Ideal, you would be able to try Sigil of the Empty Throne. (Whenever you play an enchantment put a 4/4 angel with flying into play.) Just more options but I really like the deck!

I thought of that, but it doesn't work. Sigil says that you can put an angel in when you play an enchantment. Enduring ideal just puts it onto the field. Thanks for the suggestion though!!!!

Looks like fun!

The first thing I'd look at is running a slight difference in the ratio of Plains to Forests that you're running -- Green has all your mana ramp, so you want to see them earlier and more often. Having Forests means you can probably get access to your Plains. It might also be worthwhile to add a few Vivid Meadows to the deck, as entering the battlefield tapped won't hurt too much in a slower multiplayer game, and having early access to some of your off-color spells could be beneficial.

The other thing to consider would be making your deck more able to find an Enduring Ideal. Have you considered running Wall of Blossoms / Omens? Either card would dig you a little deeper, while also synergizing with your Overgrown Battlement.

You can also help find your Ideals by trimming down your deck's size. I would cut the Painful Quandries and Worships -- the Quandry really isn't a legitimate win condition, as by the time you cast your Ideal and then fetch it out, your opponents will have had plenty of time to build up a strong board position; they won't need to cast many spells at that point. Worship is great when you have a tough-to-kill creature on the board, but this deck is running no such cards. You have pretty strong defensive measures with FotD and Dovescape + NoSB, and I think that will be enough. Trimming these cards will help you hit the select few that you always want to see.

How about running Mystic Decree or Humility? Either one would keep all creatures from attacking you in conjunction with FotD. Also, Humility + Dovescape is an extremely difficult lock to break for most decks (no more killing your Dovescape with Acidic Slime, et al!).
