Drop red your barely using it. Add

{ajani's chosen}
And
{arrest} instead of the rw stuff and chained

Id add a some vanguard of brimaz or something of the sort just to add some devotion to activate your gods and to have some kind of creature out earlier in case you have a couple bad draws and have to mulligan

Brimaz himself would be a sweet addition to this, to keep up the draw from dropping {assemble the legions} tokens that it was pushing out.

Yeah brimaz would be great but its also a $30 card. I just think the deck needs more devotion and a lower mana curve because it seems like itll start out slow

Didn't know it was a budget build, just tossing ideas.

Idk if its a budget build but thats still expensive for a card that isnt a necessity for the deck

There are much better 3 drops in white than the elder. I would list them but there about 10 or so.

I have a play set of {Brimaz, King of Oreskos} and I am just aiming for something really different. the gods don't have to come on line right away, {Chained to the Rocks} is so good it's hard to drop because it deals with everything at all points of the game I could drop {Assemble the Legion} I just thought it was a nice little win con as about 99% of players in the meta can't deal with it.

I don't know about 99%, {Revoke Existence} is a real sideboard because of gods and it deals with assemble quite nicely. And if I were you I would definitely play Brimaz. Just my 2ยข.

Tbh this is a solid solid deck! I like it a lot! I'd stay stick with Red bc Chained is amazing and so is Assemble.

Only problem is probably control right?

So your SB should be to for vs. control bc you should be good enough vs. aggro/basically any creature deck

I think control will be the issue but I haven't really played this yet it was a half idea I had wile half asleep last night and just seeing what others thought before I throw it together.

Add {Boros Charm} to the sideboard for U/W and Esper control, great against {Supreme Verdict}.

Although true he needs won cons vs. control bc as soon as I see UWR game 1 my {Revoke Existences} come in vs. Assemble so its not stating long plus my d spheres. Elspeth will never last a turn vs control.

I feel like you should side in something like {AEtherling} as odd as that may seem

I am working on the sideboard and any help would be most welcome

Sideboard has been updated. the main decks I am having trouble are UWx control and mono-black/BW decks so I am hoping this sideboard will help with that what do you guys think?
Title: Re: Something Different
Post by: Bookmeister on February 23, 2014, 09:20:08 AM
{God's Willing}, {Brave The Elements}, & {Boros Charm} are all good against Mono Black. Also {Mizzium Mortars} is a must for your board for {Stormbreath Dragon} & {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}. Those two cards will beat you by themselves. I run 4 Mortars in my board.

I really like where you are going with this. A few more suggestion though. I run a similar list only without the blue but the synergy between Ephara and Brimaz is sweet!  You don't need 10 blue sources here and with all your white mana symbols I would drop 1 fountain and 1 vents for 2 {Nykthoa, Shrine to Nyx}. All my creatures are heroic and if I were you I would drop the {Auramancer}'s for {Fabled Hero}'s. I would cut 1 Heliod and the Pacifism's for {God's Willing}. Fabled Hero is immediately a target and nothing makes an opponent's heart sink like a {Hero's Downfall} that gives your Hero +2/+2!

Good suggestions Bookmeister. But that's not what HIS deck does YOUR deck might run a more heroic version but HIS is mostly enchantment based Pillow Fort. I think his list is good without Fabled Hero bc he wants to stall a bit

Sure, I was just making suggestions. He is free to choose otherwise.

As much as I hate the card, I feel obligated to suggest {Aetherling} for the sideboard at least. He's just an unfair threat that can win many games, plus survives board wipes and blocks pretty well.
