In game 2 you can sideboard Rest in Peace and he can destroy it or can sideboard Supression field for delay his cycles but in game 1?
If you flood the board then he comb and if not, he can combo too put 3-4 creatures and wins easy
If i play in a troll modus like not playing anything and discard my self my creatures? so when the comb all my sisters/serras comes to play too LOL

Has anyone had an success splashing green for sideboard Melira to help with the infect match up? I saw a guy do this at an FNM but I wasn't sure if there was an actual list out there.
I am new here and I have a couple of questions to ask about my soul sisters build.
I have read a few pages of the 67 but not everything, please forgive me if you guys have covered it earlier.
FIrst of all, here my list:
I have been playing it for a few months and got average results at FNM.
I do not like Serra Ascendant at all in this build and as you can see I already removed 2 of them. I feel like removing them all for 2 other Doomed Traveler. Without Martyr of sands it is really rare that I get to hit the 30. Instead of hoping for this to happen, I'd rather give me some tools to be able to recover faster from mass removals, which is so far the biggest weakness.
Don't know what you guys think about that? Feels like it is blasphemy to question Serra Ascendant in a SS build...
What about Hopeful Eidolon? (To replace Serra). Fechable by Ranger of Eos, and ok to top deck or having in opening hand. Can enchant a big pridmate for example.
I've never not wanted Serra Ascendant in my deck. Not including it is like taking out the Goyfs in a BGx deck. They are a requirement, or you might as well play Knights or Soldiers tribal.
With Collected Company decks poping up everywhere, soul sisters can be on the rise again. I played against an Elves deck and he killed my Affinity deck on turns 4 and 5 (so 2-0). I can see Soul Sisters having a good matchup against these decks. Our Wrath effects would beat them pretty bad. Mirran Crusader could be MD.
Also that GWB deck that goes infinite with Kitchen Finks, Vicira Seer and Murderous Redcap ETB triggers can be nullified with Auriok Champions. I see us at a really good spot right now...maybe...except for the Jund menace.

Maindeck 2x Return to the Ranks. The simultaneous triggers on, say, two sisters a pridemate and a sac'd martyr, make this card a serious bomb. Plus, it's very active against midrange grindy decks, and grindy against aggro decks like affinity. I only really side it out against scapeshift and the like.
Tolarian Community College just showed me Sanctimony in a video. Does this merit discussion for our board? Kills burn better than Leyline, while making Jund and UWR easier. I don't think there's room for it, but it seems funny.
Why has no one brewed up Collected Company Sisters yet? It seems like it would be a powerful splash.
Here is my quick slap together. I managed to flip Matyr and Squadron Hawk a couple times. Nothing feels better than flipping a matyr and a hawk, putting 3 hawks in your hand, and then gain a crapton of life, dropping an ascendant then archangel of thune.
Been testing it against my burn deck, and unless they kill you before your turn 4. It is basically "I Win".
I think we could probably jam some GW goodstuff and do well. To be honest, the only reason to splash another color is if you wan't play martyrproc.dek
Voice of resurgence could be a very good card here.
Fleecemane Lion is another Card in competition for the 2 drop slot.
Gavony Township - Solid Utility land
Loxodon Smiter - Solid 3 Drop.
To be clear (as the author of that article), I would put Soul Sisters at tier 3 before anything else. I also don't really believe in .5 tiers, or at least, I don't think there's a good way to identify them consistently. But even as a tier 3 deck, I think Soul Sisters is very well-positioned right now. Burn is rampant, Affinity will never go away, and Grixis Delver is rising. Soul Sisters excels in those matchups, which puts it in a strong position in this metagame.
All of the burn decks I go up against run Skullcrackx4 and Atarka's Commandx4 main board. I don't think burn is as good of a match up as most chalk it up to be.
They are probably maindecking 8 skullcrack effects because of you. There is one Soulsister's Player that bounces between my store and another one. When I see him I switch my deck up for 8 skullcrack mainboard. Hard for me to win otherwise. There are still games where he gains too much life for me to be able to burn him out before taking lethal from squadron hawks.
Maybe, I run into it plenty when playing my G/r tron deck though (stops me from saving myself with Wurmcoil Engine, the bane of burn decks). I usually know asap if they are mainboading Wooded Foothills and a singleton Stomping Ground. Between Skullcrack, Atarka's Command, and Eidolon of the Great Revel, my sisters deck runs into plenty of trouble with the 2-3 regular burn players. Too bad I'm too busy loling my way into the top 8 with Titan Bloom ATM :3
I'm thinking of taking out the stony silence, and probablly revoke existance from my board in order to play options against these decks specifically, i'm just unsure of what our best options are against them?
I have seen a few decks on MTGTOP8 that plays 1 or even 2 karn liberated in a "black splash for lingering souls" soul sisters version. Any idea on what kind of match up they bring him in? And what strategy for him?
