Krenko's Command... ...really??!.... ...man, how could you come up with that?.. ...it's 2 1/1 tokens with no abilities, why would I play tham in this?.. ...Why not Gather the townsfolk, or Lingering Souls?.. ...I wouldn't draw dead, 'cuz I have 10 lands that could add white mana...

...there are lots of useless stuff in there... ...check out this modern Elf deck, than reconstruct youres: http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399962 ...also... ...check out my standard Junk Midrange, when you have the time: http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=410489
...you don't need that many Spectral Flight, since most of your dorks have flying, or unblockable... ...it's nice with Geist, but it's not worth it to run 4... ...I suggest you drop all 4 Flight & add 1 more land, 1 more Pilgrim, 1 more Curiosity & 1 more Sphere... ...if you have the time, please, check out my Junk & Jund Midrange stuff!..

A wisely constructed ramp/midrange deck doesn't hame more than 4 mana creatures... ...the rest is Farseek, Keyrunes &/or Borderland Ranger, may be Ranger's Path... ...so the Staticaster is only good as sideboard at a competative enviroment... ...against zombies, 1 Staticaster could only shot down Gravecrawler & it could be re-casted... ...& Staticaster is easy to delt with, so it's only temporal medicine...
I was also concerned about that, when I made the deck, but when I tested it, it appeared, it's not needed... ...when I need more removal, I add before game 2, but I usually can win without it... ...Sorin's ultimate could easily get activated, I can destroy with Wraska, I have 3 Sever wich could be flashed back & an Angel of Serenity, that exiles 3 creatures... ...I also have a Vault of the Archangel for Deathtouch... ...usually it's enough to block off the board with Armada Wurm &/or gain enough life with Thragtusk/Restoration Angel of Serenity to endure offence until I''ve got things crackin'... The 4 draw spell as Elvish Visionary also helpes me to get whatever I want & it could be flicked by Restoration Angel... ...I can also draw lots of cards with Garruk... ...with this, the 3 Sever, 2 Vraska & 1 Serenity is enough... ...& Sorin is really not hard to ultimate, when it's needed, 'cuz I can protect it... ...this deck is Midrange, so expensive removal, like Sever, Serenity & Vraska could be cast easily....... :) Thanks for your comment!..
...of course :) ...why did we waste this many words for this question?!.. :) ...it didn't come to mind, that it's that simple, yet, when I play the deck, I do it like that: block, if I need to, than tap before my creatures die pherhaps... ...it's a must, that you tap those creatures in your opponent's turn, in the latest phase possible... Thanks for reveling this obvious truth to us silly dorks!.. :)
Drop the Demon & use Abrupt Decay as a sideboard & only 3 of it... ...drop Liliana!.. ...Primal Hunter is better here instead of Relentless, cuz' you can draw many cards with it with Thragtusk, or Hellkite in play... ...3 Pillar is enough... ...you need 4 Farseek & 4-5 Keyrunes(I use 3 Rakdos & 2 Golgari in mine)... ...with 16 land, that could add black mana, you could use Gerafl's Messanger, or Sign in Blood... ...both would be nice in this... ...or just add a 2nd Kessig Wolf Run... ...drop Nighthawk & add a 4th Tusk &/or 3rd Hellkite!.. ...here is my Jund Midrange, if you need further inspiration: http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=403243 ...& here is my Junk Midrange, wich I want to get feedback on, 'cuz I consider running it on FNM: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=410489
This isn't any of my tournament decks, but when I play this, the Highpriest works out great... ...you can tap creatures for it that's effected by summoning sickness, so it's not that hard... ...I'm playing quite a low curve here, the Traveler & Angel gives me tokens, that could also be tapped... ...& the main thing is: The opponent doesn't want me to lose too many creatures with Blood Artist on the field, so they'll stay for the Priest... ...I can block with enough creatures & when I can't, I won't... ...I usually make enough lives with Blood Artist anyway... ...if I make some of those demon tokens, I'm gonna' strike enough first... ...I have many removal spell, so blocking is not alwayes nesesarry... :)
...you'll have the token to block & usually, the possible attackers are smaller, so the opponent most likely won't attack at all... ...& I also have 4 Dreadbore, 3 Tragic Slip, 3 Bone Splinters & 3 Volley for removal... ...of course, against R/B & Jund zombie aggro is different, but I have Pillar & Killing Wave in the sideboard...
Rites is good here, 'cuz your deck isn't grave-based, so the opponent doesn't have enough reason for sideboarding Rest in Peace & stuff... ...though, 3 Rites is enough... ...but the deck is kind of a disaster & not in the good tense... ...you have only 22 lands, yet freakin' high mana curve... ...you have 17 lands that could add green mana & only 9 for white & black... ...& still, you are playing cards, like Nighthawk... I'd play 23 lands here... ...drop the Deathrite Shaman, Nighthawk, 1 Rites, Mana Bloom & Murder... ...add a 4th Healer, 4 Pilgrim, a 3rd Oblivion Ring & 3 Borderland Ringer... ...here is my standard tournament JunkWalker deck, if you'd need some inspiration... ...check the mana base, because youres won't work!.. http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=410489 Happy Holydayes for you as well!!..... :)
Undying helpes you have 3 creatures at a time...
1st: what you run Spectral for here, all your dudes has flying?.. ...look... ...Bruna is not a good standard player... ...it's useless to run her in this format... ...the opponent just Slaughter Games it & you've lost... ...I understand, you like the card, but trust me, when I'm saying, that she's not worth running in standard format!..
...I ask: what do you human being think, when you comment on a deck & say nothing about the deck in question?.. ...I wonder how could people be this obvious & unintelligent... ...here is my advice for you: Take your wack attitude, your 94 - 98 point IQ, your amature builds & inexperience, add your stupid deck links, flip 'em sidewayes & stick it strait up your di.k hole!...... Take my advice & stop spamming!..
Goblin Ralley is a sh.t card... ...I don't get it, why you playx 4 of it & only 3 Devotion... ...sorry for sayin', but this deck doesn't hurt at all... ...the enchantment stuff you run here is better in U/W with Detention Sphere, Oblivion Ring, Nevermore & stuff... I don't have anything to add for this deck, 'cuz if I did, it would be a whole other deck....... ...here is a deck, that is cheap for standard & still competative: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=398933
...glad you like it... :) ...though this is only an experiment... ...it works nicely & beats ass, but won't win an FNM at any of the places I'm playing at... ...probably won't make top-8.......
I love the idea!.. ...this is a very creative deck!.. ...I haven't thought of using Ajani with Geist... ...it's a huge idea!.. :)
...this has no green, so no "mana dorks"... ...if you think this is slow, than you haven't seen the sablinic U/W Flash decks in action yet... ...this is actually faster than those.......
Agreed... ...& he uses decks that he didn't put togeather the 1st place... ...he has no insight on the game & building & no creativity at all... ...he won't beat any of my tournament decks even once... ...I usually create something new, or take an already great type of deck to a higher level, just like I did with Hayne's pro-tour winner deck, as I've added red(for Bonfire) & a little green(for Noxious Revival) & also used Ponder that time(it was standard legal)... ...here is the deck, if you're interested: http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=343423
Unsummon is bad against Thragtusk, Thundermaw Hellkite, any creature with Undying, etc... Feeling of Dread could stop 2 creatures temporarly & has flashback, wich is an important part in this deck, because of Thought Scour, Izzet Charm & Desolate Lighthouse.... ...Izzet Charm is also a 2 mana instant draw, like Azorius Charm & is better with the draw/discard ability, 'cuz I have 8 spells with flashback... Izzet Charm is also an early game counter spell, wich is important in this deck & it could also shot down small threats... Thanks for your suggestions!.. Check out my tournament R/U/W control deck, if you have the time: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
I've seen this type of deck in action, also played against it & it's solid, expecially against midrange, but weak against token decks & wisely constructed aggro... ...also decks with a strong removal set wipes this out... ...either if it's Grixis with fast & effective removal, or Bant/America/Esper with mass removal & basic control spells... ...these weaknesses are because this deck runs few cards you could win the game with... ...you have 2 Entreat the Angels in the sideboard, but it's still just two cards type of cards along with Restoration Angel... ...removal reduces your chanses at finishing the game, no matter how solid your control set is... ...also, if the opponent has 3-4 Slaughter Games in the sideboard, you can pack your cards quickly from game-2 & farward....... ...here is a similar deck I've made only for an experiment, 'cuz I wanted to raise the comteaitvity of this solid deck type... ...it's R/U/W, has a little higher chanse to finish the game, playes on flashback a little bit more as I run Feeling of Dread along with Think Twice & Izzet Charm, plus Desolate Lighthouse along with Thought Scour... ...it's still not tournament quality as far as we concern the places I'm playing at: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=413490
