Dublin Ireland?

Yep! The one last weekend!

Woohoo, I used to live there!
This looks like a very solid deck.

I'd recommend sideboard ing in 2 {Triad of the Fates}.

It is pretty solid it came 5th-8th at the pro tour!
{Triad of Fates} is so slow! It's good in commander and casual! But in standard not so sure

What's your reason for sideboarding it?

Removal heavy decks. Also creature heavy decks so you permanently get rid of their things.

The problem with it is that it take two turns to remove anything. One to put the counter and one to exile it, plus you're giving up card Advantage at the same time. Not sure that it's a standard playable card.

{soul tithe} kills gods. It's actually pretty decent right now :)

Keep in mind that this deck was tested for a specific metagame-it was built to kill the mono blue devotion deck (and other devotion decks) and has a very reasonable matchup against the other big players (GW aggro, Esper/UW, and RG Monsters). That being said I think it's a really solid starting point for a deck, but needs to be tweaked for your meta. And I think it was 2 Sin Collector, and 3 Obzedat main.

Desecration demon turning into a pile of money. If you don't pay with mana, you pay with your permanents. It's very much Orzhov

No, triad is much too slow to be standard playable.  His abilities are cool but too slow and expensive for anuthing but casual.

No problem! I've been testing this deck a lot and the Junk Midrange deck that is pretty similar. The main difference is that the green gives you Voices, Smiters, and Advent of the Wurm, which makes the deck play Aggro some games and control others. It's a really fun deck that I think is pretty competitive with the right tuning

I'm going to test this deck out so I can modify it for my local meta which is aggro at FNM
And control on MNM( Monday night magic)

How can I make it do thus deck beats mono blue devotion?

Went 2-2-1 at game day!

This deck should be very well positioned against mono blue. Thoughtseize to take care of Thassa/Bident, and then all of your removal to kill Master of Waves and the other dudes.

I donf need to worry about mono blue so much as my lgs's meta is not very mono blue!

Esper, gruul, RWB, mono red, golgari yes but no mono blue
