Just built this the other day. Tested it and it has never came close to losing. I think if I get right mana it will be unstoppable. Any thoughts on it, any weakness. Will be playing in PTQ the 28th, so any suggestions would be appreciated

[Ekann1]

Have you considered playing scry lands? They seem like they'd be useful here...

[Blazingblevins]

Yes I do have them. Was thinking about some temple of silences. What do u think about the rest of it? I really can't see how it could lose if ran right

[Ekann1]

Is 4 thoughtsieze needed in SB? Seems like you could run 3 and have room for something else. Also, how are your blue and black devotion matchups? Blue seems ok, but monoblack seems hard. I'd run another heros downfall sideboard.

[Blazingblevins]

Mono decks have been easiest. Especially black. Just because of {brave the elements} and {gods willing}. Because I don't have to worry about any of there creatures or spells. Well {thoughtseize} is a bitch, but other than that it's great

[Blazingblevins]

And no I don't need 4 {thoughtseize}, actually I have never had to side out cards because the main has been unstoppable. I just thought of cards for the side for problems I might have

[Blazingblevins]

Its not the actual creatures that make it unstoppable, it is the instants. Makes me unblockable any time I have a instant in my hand, more than likely. And by the time they can do anything I have way to many awesome creatures out to do anything. And board wipes I can stop

[Blazingblevins]

Anyone else, please feel free to comment. I need suggestions and or comments

[Kaleo42]

{Cyclonic rift} wrecks this build. Just keep an eye out for smart mono blues and control decks. Esper control seems like the hardest matchup with {supreme verdict} and {far//away} positioned well against you once they {thoughtseize} you.

It looks pretty solid over all thought. I would consider {gift of orzhova} instead of {unflinching courage}. Gift lefts you get around some of the beefier decks that may stall you till you brave and it lets you block {nightveil specter} and {desecration demon}.

[Blazingblevins]

{cyclonic rift} should not be too much of a problem because of {gods willing} and {brave the elements}. {gift of orzhova} is a great idea instead of {unflinching courage}. Thanks for the comments, this should help out a lot. If you think of anything else, please let me know. Thanks

Those won't help if they overload the {cyclonic rift} 😜

Overall I do really like it, do u think it is really worth it to run the black In the deck? Any time u introduce a third color it makes it less consistent, no matter what u say, plus it's a little difficult to side in a {Hero's downfall} with {B}{B} in the cmc. I would say that for the 2 cards in your s/b it just doesn't seem worth it. I run a straight Selsenya aggro and it does very well. I don't feel it needs the black at all. I would personally drop the {gods willing} and throw in {loxodon smiter}. Also I know it's pricey but I would consider {voice of resurgence. 16 creatures is just a little low and you could have the potential if getting overrun.

[JordanCirk]

If they overload rift, since it's not targeting it's just hitting all your creatures, the protection spell won't do anything

[Blazingblevins]

I do already have 4 voice of resurgence in this deck. I used to use loxton smiter, I might find a way to fit him in again. Also thanks I didn't read completely on {cyclonic rift}. That's only one card I really need to watch out for. I agree I am going to take out the black. Thanks for the help

[Blazingblevins]

Yeah. I guess blue might be troublesome. I will definitely side {mistcutter hydra}. Other than blue decks, do you see me having a problem with any other colors?
