control and life gain

by CALamity on 24 August 2009

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (24 cards)

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 in the beginning with flood and counterspells until you play the sandskin/pariah combo. or use a godhead and some hermetic studies to pick off all of your opponents creatures. the win comes from words of worship combined with well of lost dreams for huge life gain, and then a test of endurance. in case any of these artifacts/enchantments aren't showing up there's the enlightened tutors. greater auromancy just makes it so that the opponent cant do anything to stop the pariah/sandskin.

sideboard has all the circles of protection and control magic/confiscate for decks with particularly good or annoying creatures, the steal enchantments, aura grafts, and confiscates can help to counter decks based around good enchantments. spirit of the hearth for burn decks.

hit me up with any suggestions.

Glarecaster would be right at home in this deck.

I would also include Trade Secrets. You never know when you might catch your opponent napping...
