Deck Description

There is a SCG IQ coming soon and I haven't been to fnm in a month or so. I could really use some help to get this thing ready.

The cards in the SB are cards that I have to modify the deck with. Even if the card is not in the SB, feel free to list it. Thanks in advance.

Modifying a deck for my friend to use.

Deck discussion for Raka Control FNM/SCG IQ - Help

Ok so first off you are gonna want to drop Ral Zarek and Render Silent. Both Cards in Testing really don't do anything for your deck and you're better off running more burn/counterspells. Also run as many Temple of Triumphs over Boros Guildgates as you can since they are strictly better for like 3 dollars a piece or so. Running Detention Sphere, Anger of the Gods, Or Warleader's Helix are great additions to be added while taking out some weaker drops like Omenspeaker or Cyclonic Rift. Keep Reckoners to the board and just play more control based. Counterspell/Burn with your big winners Aurelia, Assemble, Niv, ect... Overall it's an interesting list though. Well thought out.

I've tested the list a few times (1v1, ffa, planeschase) and it seems to hold up well. Ral and Render have saved my rear a few times. Also the boros guilgates will be changed to sacred foundry when I get them back from a friend.

Considering about 90% of the time i bet you are just doing the -2 on Ral Zarek i would just figure Warleader's Helix would help you stabilize better against a fast list. cause you can almost always assume he is going to die the next turn if you are forced into the situation and his other 2 abilities are below average at best.
