Yesterday i just lost for my illusion deck...

With 4 {Gideon's lawkeeper}s you lost to your illusions? Maybe you could get some {timely reinforcements} and mainboard some more {mirran crusader}s {hero of bladehold} is just so good I would encourage more as well. I guess I should probably also ask what happened when you were playing against it. Meaning what problems did you run into?

Bernardcs · December 21, 2011, 11:39:33 AM

Hexproof...
Was I cheated?

BlackJester · December 21, 2011, 11:53:50 AM

Nah. If Illusions can slap down an early {Lord of the Unreal}, {Gideon's Lawkeeper}s are pretty useless.

Take out {Elite Inquisitor} and put him in your sideboard. Take out {Elite Vanguard} and replace him with {Selfless Cathar}. Add one more {Mirran Crusader}.

Validan · December 21, 2011, 12:36:14 PM

Ew {selfless cathar}. Idk I'm not a fan, and especially not if you're taking out what he has, I'm thinking more removal of creatures or artifacts

Bernardcs · December 21, 2011, 12:56:59 PM

I agree with Validan...

I like {Selfless Cathar} if you can swarm, and land a fatal Alpha strike. Depends on your game plan, I suppose.

Validan · December 21, 2011, 01:14:44 PM

He could put in more {honor of the pure} though and that would benefit better than a one time alpha strike bonus

I agree with Validan...

If you don't like the Cathar then you could always use {Champion of the Parish}.

That's true. I'm not championing Cathar here, but it is a creature, and it triggers {Champion of the Parish} and can pick up some equipment and charge in to the fray. I can see swapping it for Honor, though, if you already have a good creature base. I just think the if this is going to be a full WW, it really wants a low curve critter base.

Validan · December 21, 2011, 01:57:02 PM

I agree with you on the low curve creature costs. And I know this spell isn't exactly low but {divine reckoning} and {day of judgment} may be good cards to side board in case of decks like the illusions or {invisible stalker}s that's just a though that came to me as an alternative to creatures

BlackJester · December 21, 2011, 02:37:46 PM

I agree about the sweeps, although I would favor {Day of Judgment} in this case. You don't want your opponent to hang on to their {Grave Titan} and all you get is your {Fiend Hunter} or something.

Validan · December 21, 2011, 02:56:13 PM

Very true I just hate seeing ALL the weenies die lol
