I can sub the Shield Sphere for it?
I thought the Sphere being free...and 6 defense, would be great for blocking.
But Cathedral Membrane was the agreed card.
Done :)

Not the Ram!!! I love it.
It's so cute and sparkly!!

Not feeling Earthquake in this deck...it wipes out most of your creatures...sure, it leaves the important ones...but there has to be something better!

You burn them at the stake, duh!
Will take a look, for sure.

Thanks. Any deck you want me to take a look at?

Here you go:

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/blazing-effigy-and-stuffy-doll/

180 damage using Blazing Effigy on Turn 6.

Or.

Turn 1. Shield Sphere
Turn 2. Blazing Effigy
Turn 3. Mogg Maniac
Turn 4. 2 Blazing Effigy
Turn 5. Furnace of Rath and Lightning Bolt to the 1st Blazing Effigy. Play Pact of Negation to prevent disruption.

End Result. Sack the 3 Blazing Effigies to each other into a Mogg Maniac which does 36 damage to the opponent.

Good game.

Something like this:

Turn 1. Shield Sphere
Turn 2. Blazing Effigy (opponent plays 1 creature)
Turn 3. Mogg Maniac (opponent plays 1 creature)
Turn 4. Furnace of Rath
Turn 5. Stuffy Doll
Turn 6. Mirrorweave and Lighting Bolt to your Blazing Effigy. Play Pact of Negation and/or Mana Tithe if your opponent tries to disrupt you.

Result. Your first Blazing Effigy dies, which targets your Shield Sphere (which is considered a Blazing Effigy), which targets your opponent's 1st creature (which is considered a Blazing Effigy), which targets opponent's 2nd creature (which is considered a Blazing Effigy), which targets your Stuffy Doll which targets your opponent.

Outcome = 180 damage to your opponent.

Good game.

Yes, naysayers and Spike players, this is a one trick pony deck. Isn't going to work most times.
When it does, it will leave your opponent slack jawed, though!

I do think this is a better version of the other Blue control deck you have :)

Why the Orchard card?
Something like Faerie Conclave is much better. Not sure if it is Modern, though.

This deck needs a lot of work, friend.

1st) You have 4 creatures in the deck. Not good. You need more. The 4 creatures does work well with the Orchard card, so good job there.
So, you need more creatures or ways to steal other creatures like Control Magic. Or something like Cryptoplasm.

2nd) Even with 16 counterspells (which is probably too much) your opponent WILL get threats on the board. You need a way to remove them. This introduces idea of Bounce cards like Boomerang. Or a Modern Version of that..like Void Snare.

Would suggest something like this...to playtest and see if it is any better:
-1 Bident
-4 Counterspells
-1 Aqueous Form
+3 Creatures
+3 Void Snare/some sort of Bounce.

Good luck!

Why, thank you.
Sleeper Agent and Stab Wound is very fun!

Simple.
Decks on Hot Pages get likes.
Decks not on Hot Pages get no likes.

TO get on the Hot Pages people have to be able to comment/suggest cards on your deck.
Most Tourney decks does not provide the chance to suggest cards.

Could of not said this better.

Post it here, friend, when it is done.
And you didn't come off as snobby :)
We are all here to make better Magic Decks.
Any help is much appreciated.

Cockatrice, I think, is what some people use.

Not going to disagree with you, friend :)
Will add some Tutors.

Added to Sideboard. Thanks!

Yep, good stuff :)

What's not to like with Blink/Splicers.
:)

This was only my third or fourth aggro deck attempt out of over 100 decks I have made.
I suck at them! :)
