Simple BW Control

Alright, a bit of an update.
-1 {Hero of Bladehold}
-1 {Skithyrix, the Blight Dragon}
-1 {Angel of Serenity}
for
+1 {Vampire Nighthawk}
+2 {Kitchen FInks}

Just doing some testing with various cards.  Thoughts?

Taking out the dragon is fine, but I'd keep the {Hero of Bladehold} at least, as it does so much. {Kitchen Finks} is good sideboard for aggro, not so much main deck. {Vampire Nighthawk} is the same kind of thing but is more versatile, so should be sideboard also

[Silent1236]

Hmmm, drop the {Elixir of Immortality}s for the {Kitchen FInk}s or just ditch the finks altogether?  And so far it has run fine with the 3 {Vampire Nighthawk}s, so I may just bump it back down. 

Then put 1 or 2 more {Hero of Bladehold}s in?  I'm thinking keep it at 3, but I'm not too sure what to sub in for the last one.  And then replace the Nighthawk with the {Angel of Serenity} is what I'm thinking.

Drop the Elixir for finks. Adding more {Hero o Bladehold} is up to you though, I would experiment and see what works.

Ok, thanks!

Got a chance to test what I've got from this out last night.  I played a match against an azorious control, and lost 1 game, won the next two.  {Rest In Peace} was so good

Nice! What caused you to lose? Let's analyze a bit

[Silent1236]

Drawingthe wrong cards at the wrong time. 

He had {Restoration Angel} out equipped with a {Runechanter's Pike} late game.  He had a ton of instants/sorceries in the gy.  I just drew a {Hero of Bladehold} and....... I'm drawing a blank on my other card...  I survived one swing, then top decked a {Plains}.

Yeah, not much you could do there. The only thing you can do in modern to reduce land draw late game is running fetchlands.

[Silent1236]

Ideally I want 3 or 4 {Marsh Flats} and 3 or 4 {Godless Shrine}s, bit I don't feel like sinking that much into it right now

[Silent1236]

I got to thinking about it, and I don't think I really want to put the {Angel of Serenity}s in here.  I just don't know what to replace them with lol

You could always do {Sun Titan}

[Silent1236]

Well, I don't know.  What are your thoughts on {Angel Of Serenity}?  In just thinking "Why spend 7 mana to blow up 3 creatures when I could play {Rest in Peace} and {Angel of Despair} and get rid of a permanent indefinitely?"

But I think i may just need to try playing the angels against a more midrange-ish deck with more creatures.

You could always throw in 4 emrakuls, i heard those do really well in control decks.. O.O

I find he fits better in my Eldrazi deck

[MisterJH]

Nah 15 cmc creatures go well in every deck
