W/B Sacrifice/Sorin

Greymind · February 13, 2012, 12:25:10 PM

I am looking for some guidance here fellow planeswalkers. I've been playing for about 6 months now with a solid group and enjoying the hell out of it. While we started casual, we moved to standard due to everyone showing up with crazy combos and banned cards. I find standard even more fun due to the limitations imposed on deck building. There's only one hitch with this new hobby: I'm tired of second place.

Out of our group of 10, I was always demolishing unless I played Rei The White.
He always goes U/W, and is very control orientated - never swinging unless he can keep his life total and weenies untouched. He gets me damn near every game, and it's apparent in his conversation and interaction he feels pretty secure on his throne. He is the only one of us who has had previous MtG experience, yet even though we all feel we understand the rules and intricacies as well as he, none of us seem to be able to close that gap.

Here's where you guys come in (hopefully).
I bought a booster box, and pulled 3 {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} and a plethora of nice W/B cards. I need help collaborating on this to come up with a deck before this Friday. I would LIKE to keep it W/B and sacrifice themed. But of course the goal here is to take down Rei the White. I am open to any and all criticism, just add something helpful afterwards so we arent wasting anyone's time.

Thanks in advance guys. Help an ambitious planeswalker out

Extra Intel: last Friday he ran a U/W control that themes around {Oblivion Ring}s and that god damned Venser. He was blinking his rings in and out basically turning any card he wanted inactive, until Venser had a couple "emblems" and I was screwed.

I built a deck that uses thraben doomsayer human tokens to sac for archdemon of greed. If you wanna get token friendly, add some intangible virtues. Vault of the archangel would be a plus too, since it's activated ability gives your creatures lifelink & deathtouch until end of turn. You can always o-ring his Venser and naturalize or ray of revelation his o-rings.

Also look into Sudden Disappearance. It exiles all nonland permanents a player controls until end of turn. That would also reset Venser's counters.

Yeah, but it's 6 to cast for an effect that may not really win the game.

Is this for Multiplayer or 1v1?

1vs1. We usually end the night in one or two giant multiplayers.

Lucky right? At first I was bummed because I got zero Huntmasters and Immerwolfs and only Helvault as the other mythic, but it dosent look like a werewolf deck would be as competitive as id like and to boot I pulled 3 of the 5 Sorins out of 10+ people so I can't complain.

I like the cut of your jib. I could offer you silver bullets for multiplayer, I'm like Fezzik, i'm best at taking on groups for local charities, not so much 1 on 1.

That being said, nerf that mofo's O-rings with hexproof {Invisible Stalker}s or similar. Or just burninate his face with RDW. That's my answer to control, be uncontrollable.
