Side for sure

Needs more low cost permanents to drive the shrine. Ash zealot is pretty good.

Also pithing needle is one of the best answers to aetherling and planeswalkers.

Barrel through them. Make them counter things you want them to so they can't counter more important spells. Just remember they gain life like crazy on top of drawing large numbers of cards. Maybe use erebos to stop their life gain and improve card draw. I think this would work better if you splash red into the black devotion build.

If you want to play these colors I'd also recommend rakdos return and thought seize. You will also want to run a few smaller creatures to bait removal and counters. Maybe cackler or spike jester. In addition, I'd consider cutting burning earth entirely and use something that can boardwipe instead. Remember that u/w is only going to be about an eight of the field most of the time.

and havoc festivle is terrible...just aweful...unless you build around it, but it is just too slow to make any difference in the long run.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but I don't see it beating u/w control unless you get very lucky.

Oh...and d sphere is better for this than doom blade (which is more of a sideboard card)

I like what people are saying about the swap for more verdicts. Debt to the deathless is not very good. I would also ditch far and away for a set of jace...he is too good.

He is right there. You need more win cons. And I would have a variety as well. Maybe run one ofs and use elspeth ashiok or the like in addition to an aetherling and an obzedat.

I disagree. Blood Baron is a bad magic card that is good because of the current meta. Obzedat is a better creature. Having said that...blood baron may be a bit easier for you to cast, so it may be a sideboard card if you get some.

Agreed, Soldier is awesome.

I wouldn't. Doesnt seem like a fit for the deck. It would be a savanna lions, and nothing more.

Heh...this deck is history actually....moved on to something a bit more consistent and far more speedy.

Guildgates are essential until the scry lands hit...maybe even a one of after (though I would try my damnedest not to)

Seems like it is really weak to removal, which is really strong at the moment. I would recommend either finding some hexproof creatures or figuring out a way to make them indestructible. You don't want to find yourself out of creatures during a match!

Its a five drop that untaps all of your mana and allows a flashed in creature on their turn...but Ito each their own

U/B can ramp to it easy enough

Prophet of Kruphix is awesome

Not a huge fan of render silent for this build. Its good, but not as good as dissolve or even cancel most of the time

maybe...

-2 Syncopate
+2 Divination or Essence Scatter (either would be good)
