Deck Description

I never see anyone using the Empire trio so I decided to make a deck around it. It works pretty well. It has its flaws but what deck doesn't right? I've been trying to work out the kinks and this is what I've got right now. One problem I'm running into in play tests is artifact and enchantment exiling, so any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated. Tell me what you think?

Deck discussion for The Emporer

First off, make it blue and white. I have tried the scepter as mono white and it was not that great, but with blue you can play counterspells and stuff like Tinker of Fabricate to get what you need and get your combo online. Also drop the spell bomb and elixir, and use shape anew so you can sack doubles of ones you draw and maybe hit another one. I know it sounds like a weird idea vs. your mono white version, but I always ran into the same problem you are and counterspells really make a difference. Now if you truly want it mono, then get Rebuff the Wicked. It is a mono white counterspell the counters any spell that targets a permanent you control for one mana. That with lapse of certainty will help. or use Nevermore in place of journey to nowhere as it can stop the opponent from playing problematic stuff. This is a hard theme to play with and be successful. Hope this helped

It surely has helped. I will look into making it U/W for right now it has to stay mono because I have already ordered some cards haha. Nevermore was always a good card to have for problems. I would always side board that in second round. Thanks for the help, see you at the tourny :)

Now I've been out of the game for a while, but it looks like those emperor cards are big in this deck. How do you get those out faster? The spellbomb looks like it could help, but you know me, tokens > drawing lol.

Stalling is the best thing I can do haha. I'm seriously considering Josh's advice on making it U/W adding Fabricate and counterspells and maybe Tezzeret >:3
