"I serve only justice. But through that duty, I serve all of Ravnica"

Introduction

This is my Isperia, Supreme Judge very azorius blink/control EDH deck. The decks goal is to be the biggest possible bureaucracy, by placing rules onto the game without becoming full on resource denial. It is not a pillow fort deck, Isperia wants lots of small creatures to attack and not have the opponent pay 6 extra mana so thier Eldrazi can attack. It is not a taxing deck it prefers to flat out prevent lines of play by decree.


Playing the deck has given me a reputation of hating fun amoungst my play group, I like to think I am keeping things fair :).

I prefer to build decks with 'card advantage engines' rather than simple goodstuff style decks. I have choosing Blink for this particular deck it is preverlent in UW very powerful and there really is only 1 card that stops it. Although has I explored the control elements of the deck the blink theme has been becoming less and less strong there are only a couple of cards for the sole purpose of blink left.


I have some $$ and card availability issues there is only a small number of more expensive cards but the core of the deck works find without these cards. Originally this was a super cheap deck It got started with Venser, the sojourner half of the duel deck and a 3 shocklands I traded for a bunch of cards to get started. And has been added to slowly over time. It does supprisingly well against fully kited out money decks.

Stoney slience:
nothing puts a wrench in the works of a deck like suddenly not being able to use artifacts. A friend once said "if you could use stoney slience as your general you would"

Kismet/Frozen Aether/Loxodon Gatekeeper + Stasis?

Quote from Loozar402

Kismet/Frozen Aether/Loxodon Gatekeeper + Stasis?

Stasis?

His deck isn't even that scary, and he says his friends already hate it. So you suggest Stasis? Wat.

Well people weren't much help last time but I will try again.

I have obtained a Luminac ascension... but still no one will trade me a gideon.

I have a Bident of thassa I haven't decided what to remove for it.

So I have a delemma, do I take this deck apart? and build a real blink deck with the new general?.

I could try to remove the blink parts of this deck and replace them with U/W control cards. I was slightly leaning that way anyway. Trying to find more flash creatures and adding more counters. except some cards have such good ETB effects :S.

I returned the loon to the deck because I am having some card draw problems and with my assorted hate I really need the filtering to find the right hate for the right situation.

I was kind of hoping I could blend this deck with the new decks but it definately wont work.. I mean I really like Delervi but this deck is built to turn off decks like hers. I don't think I have the money to build a whole new deck a lot of the cards in this deck overlap with what I'd want in Delervi.

Letting go of stoney silence is really hard :(.

Any ideas on if it is at all possible to make Delervi, no fun allowed?
My friends have some to accept the deck, they know what they are in for now.... I really like the way this deck constricts the game without closing it off. It is like a pillowfort for spells instead of creatures.

And so this deck it vanquished the combo menace but it resurfaces stronger than before!

So my meta has developed a lot since I posted this a lot of new players a huge injection of decks from the commander 2013 being released.

Combo has returned and this is my weapon against it. This is (D)Isperia's, no fun allowed It is my duty to server justice to infinite combo decks. It is kind of a Azorius theme deck, all about the bureaucracy.

where as before it was just Mikeaus, the unhallowed now it is a whole host of combo decks.

The targets
Sharoom, the hedgemon, infinite turns
Talrand extra turns
multiple Niv Mizzet decks
RUG Riku Twin combo or Aminmar
Scion, of the Ur dragon
Azami
mono black deck with bond and blood combo sherei I think.

Add to that semi combo decks
Nekusaur, (a big problem and the cause of all this combo)
Jarad, entomb exhume
Purphrous.

I even put a combo in my own Glissa deck I sometimes loan out.

these.. must die.

U/W Control on a budget.. can it be done?

current deck.


I now own a stifle... trying to decide whether to use it here or sell it.

Necro! whoo.. its been years!

After some time trying out other UW generals.. I am back where I started... but with the intention to switching to Dragonlord Ojutai when I get one. somehow my deck just worked better with (D)isperia at the helm despite it appearing to be a mostly vanila flyer.

1.5 years, a growing collection, several general changes and an impactful rules change later we have



It has actually been running relatively well certainly compared to what it has in the past even with other generals. I has a lot less blink and a lot more counterspells (somehow I have still been unable to obtain a counterspell) There are a few obvious Isperia synergy cards that I'd remove if I switched to Ojutai.

Currently I am a little underwhelmed with Angel of the dire hour, bident of thassa,sawtooth loon and to an extent Capsize. I needed my solemn for another deck. I actually sold or traded away a lot of my hate cards when I switched generals including damping matrix and suppression field :(.. although that allowed me to use more planeswalkers and fetchlands.

I personally prefer not to mess with peoples lands if I can help it but rather to make the things they cast ineffectual.

The last game I won ended with me with Blind obedence, stony silence, rest in peace, rhystic study, citadel siege and an active luminarch acension no non land non enchantment perminants everyone scooped.
The last win before took 3 hours :S.. as I slowly beat my opponent to death with Isperia eventually after holding off the game with stonecloaker and voidmage husher and my fog lands so I suspect scooping saved a lot of time. Winning the game.. is not a quick thing.
