Deck Description

Just looking for a new angle in Standard. Etrata makes an attainable enough win condition to be the focus of a really nice control deck I think. If you get a helm of the host on her, it's basically over.

How to Play

Entire idea is to stall until you can win with with Etrata. Most of the control is focused on things that aren't creatures, so you can get your hit counters.

Blackblade is in there for an alt win condition, in case you aren't getting creatures to hit. It's also why deep freeze/capture sphere is in there as a soft removal. If they aren't playing any creatures at all, you can also use Dowsing Dagger to gift them a couple of plants you can hit.

Ideally I'll be using Etrata for creature removal. I know sometimes you gotta kill something, but Ive gotta leave something on the board for her to hit.

Search is really nice, and I had that in here while I was paring down, but ultimately it felt like an expensive (money wise) luxury. I couldn't decide what I would replace it with.

Could definitely sideboard 2 more Vraskas.

At the end of the day, I decided I was better off soft removing creatures, but obviously sometimes you gotta kill shit. What would you remove for Cast out?

I liked to play Ritual of Soot also in my version as a mass removal if neccesarry and Unmoored Ego is the show stopper against Teferi Control
