Hand control

Main Deck (60 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

The goal of this deck is to get your opponent's hand down to 0 and to stay there. Mimic vat + liliana's specter can have them discard immediately after they draw.

I think if I were to play this deck I would always want to go second. First turn opponent has 5 cards +1 land, 2nd :3-2 cards +2 land. 3rd turn 2 or less +3 lands, turn 4 0 cards. +3 land

I don't think many standard decks can get a win con out by turn 4 with 3 total mana to use.

Patience will be all I would need at this point to destroy my opponent. Comments or advice would be appreciated.

do you think maybe a bit of kill, just incase soneone has a quickish start perhaps go for the throat or brittle effigy ??

Why do I need those, I realize they kill my opponent, but they lower my likelihood of drawing other discard abilities. With the deck as it is currently it has the ability to stop my opponent from ever being able to play, and the quicker I reach that the better. Once I do reach that, its a done deal, regardless of any enchantment I have in play.

I mean are things likely to explode that fast against me?

If anything I think I would go for black sun's zenith then. I imagine anything that is a really fast start aims to get a lot of creatures going fast, but are all relatively low in defense.

Also, I think I would favor vendetta over go for the throat. Anything that starts off that quick wouldn't have too much toughness. Thanks I am definately adding atleast a couple vendetta.

Try splashing blue to play Leyline of Anticipation! Opponents turn: Draw "I'll play th-" "Mind Rot." And... Bala Ged Thief would work better than some of those sorceries you are using as it can be used with mimic vat.

Both of those are great calls, once I get time I am going to take a good look at what else to splash in with blue.

Actually after checking out rmathis410's deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=161462
The slavering null complete's the same task that I had for the guul draz specter but with a better mana cost.

This allows me to get my opponent down to 0 cards sooner. I increased the number of removal to ensure the nulls can get by unblocked. I then took my own advice that I posted on his deck.
