How to Play

Use Elite Arcanist with Silence to lock down your opponent. Liliana's Reaver enchanted with Aqueous Form with Whispering Madness ciphered onto it while Notion Thief is in play so that your opponent has no hand. Kill your opponent with unblockable damage or wait out with Azor's Elocutors.

Shocklands or scry lands imo. This deck should make people flip tables with Elite Arcanist. However, because of the time it takes to play the Arcanist, you might consider adding a few board wipes such as Supreme Verdict. I only say that because if you play an aggro deck they might have 3-5 creatures already out swinging. Maybe take out the Wispering Madness x4 and add Detention Sphere x2 and Supreme Verdict x2. Also, to echo the comment above a little more, Ultimate Price is one more mana to cast and thats cheap coming from a "destroy monocolor creature" and going to "destroy target creature or planeswalker."

Wispering Madness is great when you dont have anything worthwhile in your hand. However, since you are looking for a combo of cards in your hand, I think Wispering Madness needs to be removed. I thought about it awhile before I wrote this section, and I dont think it matters short or long term for what you are trying to do. This kinda goes for Jace to. I mean, I love having the "do nothing, opponent mills 10" option, or even the +1 to draw a card but, IMO, take out Wispering Madness.

One last thing you should consider for your sideboard is "Mark of the Vampire." I am not sure how helpful it is, but it would make your Reaver a 6/5 deathtouch and lifelink. Pairing that with aqueous form and it can get pretty nasty fast for your opponent. I say sideboard due to the fact that you might not want to play it all the time.

Thoughts? How has it played for you?
