MTG Salvation

Ok thanks for all the great advice I dropped to 26 lands cutting 1 ghost quarter and the guildgates replacing the guildgates with basics. I tried gloom surgeon but lost too much card advantage against aggro, If I do ever put a creature in here it would be Snapcaster Mage. I went with 2 mutilates instead and have been very happy with the results played 5 matches with it and won 2-0 all but 1 game witch was 1-2. I lost to a UBr delver and it was close all 3 games. The new deck list is as follows.

So this is the U/B Control list i have been running as you can see it mills and I know "MILL IS USELESS< MILL CAN'T WIN" etc. That is not constructive criticism and please don't waist time for anyone who want's to work on this deck and tune it.

I don't run creatures because of spot removal, it's funny how much that will win games alone just because their hand is full of removal. Basically the deck plays draw go for the first 3-4 turns then it starts to drop PW's to pull attention from the player. Lots of draw, I love the fact that my hand is usually full of answers and really this deck drags the game out to a war of attrition, which it usually wins! Biggest game one problems are RDW, Zombies, and Reanimator. Other decks are easy wins usually hold the insane draws on their side with a really bad draw on yours.

I just posted this to give ideas to people and get feedback hope to hear from you soon!

The creature type is why I chose her, she is repeatable and I can pull her off of lead the stampede, and it helps grab more fuel for her too!

@Neliz i hadn't thought of him, most games I've played he wouldn't be that big honestly, i just ditch late game mana dorks to Scarblade to kill thing like Olivia before they get big, and since it's -x/-x it gets around indestructibility.

Abrupt Decay could only be better if it was an Elf! Any game where it is relevant I put in the 2 others from the board, and you would be surprised how often that is. This is a format run by three drops or less after all!

So this is what I've been testing and it is at 12-6-0 on Cockatrice. I must say I am impressed I like this deck a lot! I had 4 of my wins with rage quits and no game 2. Most notable matches for improvement are RDW, Valakut, and I faced a red/black blightning burn that was rough. Regular Elves can be scary if they drop a champion and swing but not much of a problem after I added the Lys Alana Scarblade repeatable removal is sweet! Any way let me know what you guys think!

So first of all I have been playing this on Cockatrice and it is at 4-7-0 in total games so I thought I would turn here to try and get some help from the MTG Salvation think tank. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I really wish jace would be b/u

Vahn walks into the shop and says "Hello sir." and starts to browse the wares available. Upon finding what he needs he takes the gem to the counter and says "This will be perfect." removing gold from his pouch.

A man slim of frame with broad shoulders, thick curly shoulder length black hair and blue eyes, Vahn has a broad jawline outlined with a thin well trimmed beard without a mustache. Dressed in a long black leather trench coat with electric blue trim and a large attached hood. His hair is always worn down and usually covers half of his face if not more, Vahn wears a blue satchel with a dagger hilt sticking out of it accessable under the left side his coat with a black shirt underneath black leather pants with tall leather boots and leather gloves.

Vahn prefers not to talk to others about his past, what little is known is that he is the only survivor of his family, once a great mercantile power.

When speaking he is quite polite, though he keeps few personal relations, preferring to keep to the business at hand.

As he hands his paperwork to the guard he says calmly. "I believe all is in order, good sir."

ooc: @Cyouni I have made the changes you required to OP

"I apologize, sir, for leaving those lines blank I shall fill them out now." Vahn says quietly.

I personally run a u/w fish list and I love how it is amazingly effective!



The chancery and deprive are cards I use to help my topdeck with halimer, you may laugh until you see how well it helps me dig. Ghost quarter and path together can make a cosi's a big girl, even without the lords. I feel Grimoire thief is MVP in a lot of match ups for her disruption and intimidation to the opponent on what she has hidden and could stop leading them to make sub par plays trying to fish the counter out of her. My sideboard is tuned to my meta so I didn't post it. I take this to FNM and pull in top 3 usually.

A man in black and blue walks toward the guard pulling out his paperwork from the right side of his trench coat, he seems to be all business today his clothes are fairly dirty from the long trip he took to get here.

First of all nice start, I love the idea of this deck! I personally would go a little more black like only 2-3 Lightning Bolt and Stromkirk Noble. Mainly to add Vampire Nocturnus, I'm not sure why he was overlooked.

Here is my list it is really working out quite well and I love it!



Sideboard is a work in progress. try it out and let me know what you think.
