FNM: 5 Color Control

[Bman0121]

Would drop  {Garruk, Primal Hunter} for  {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} so you have a huge threat that will easily win you the game

Thats exactly what garruk does and it doesnt require me to have 2 of my least releant color.

5-0 at fnm

Beat elven ramp fairly easy, one wrath and then turn aggro with kessig.

Beat orzhov bleed with relative ease.

Beat sylvan crypt. This was an interesting deck. The basic idea was {crypt ghast} and dork ramp into big dudes like {sylvan primordial}. The land destruction sub theme was threatening but some well played {slaughter games} and {snapcaster mage} got it.

Beat werewolves. Lost game one to rush and then brought in extra creatures that were bigger than his to buy time into {terminus}. Games two and three were easy.

Beat american control. This was difficult to play but over all a fairly easy match when you play carefully.

Oddly {rhox faithmender} made a huge impact on the games tonight. The extra life, the blocking, and the durability to survive and then get pumped with kessig.

The hardest part about playing this deck is t2 {farseek}. I take a good minute to get my land on turn two just because that shapes the rest of the game.

[SixShotVixXen]

its just so many colors.. ughh. the girly female in me is like :0 COLORS!

[Kaleo42]

I see it as options. A game Ive started playing is every time I hear about a new deck I think to my self "what does my deck do to beat that?" Sure some matches are easier than others, but I consistently have solid answers to every deck. Sometimes I have to change cards in the board for mainboard cards just to meet the meta ({rhox faithmender} is an example of that), but in general I have the appropriate answers for anything I play against.

 uhmm thats one way to go about it. but great job on the deck!!! & good luckin FNM

Made some slight changes, had kinda a crappy fnm last week but for stupid reasons. I got paired up against esper mill which is a losing match 9/10 times and then experienced the worst draws in the decks history in round 5. All in all i ended 3-2 but those last two rounds really sucked.

Yea poor sound quality on my gf's computer. The next ones will be a lot better. This was kind of just a test.

I like how you're not running {Chromatic Lantern}. I always thought that Lantern was absolutely atrocious and the mana was already good enough without it, and I feel {Farseek}, although very different, is a million times better. I also don't like {Aurelia's Fury}. It is extremely situational. I'd definitely play a card like {Bonfire of the Damned}, which is good even without miracle  and insane in the late game. I know that Fury is part of a {Silence} effect but it is often not relevant considering how most of the important spells are instants at the moment. I would probably go up to three {Supreme Verdict}s in the maindeck and maybe go up to the fourth MD {Azorius Charm} or maybe {Planar Cleansing}, which blows out a good amount of archetypes. I'd actually consider one or two maindeck copies of {Rest in Peace} considering how Junk Reanimator has become a large amount of the metagame in standard, and according to most events ie PTQs, Grand Prixs, Pro Tours and Daily/Premier events, Reanimator is 14% of the metagame. Aggro decks are 51% of the metagame so I'd definitely add more {Supreme Verdict}s.
