MTG Salvation

I decided to put my U/W sword control deck away for a bit and try a similar variation with less creatures the current U/W creature less control lists. I might in the future come back to this but I was having more and more problems with the current meta with this type of build.

I decided that with the upswing in popularity of tokens I need Ratchet Bomb in my 75 so I will be replacing my 2x Revoke Existance with 2x Ratchet Bomb. I wouldn't mind getting a 3rd ratchet in there but I will start at 2x and see how it goes.

As good as Revoke Existance is I think I am having more of an issue with tokens than I am Tempered Steel, O Rings, and Swords.

A few more changes.

I went back to 2x Gideon Jura instead of 1 with Elspeth in the list. I found Elspeth cute but she died too easily to burn and Gideon just stands up to most every non O Ring situation better. Elspeth had a few percs but overall I think Gideon is a better add for the list.

- 2 Negate
+ 2 Disperse This came down to the fact that Negate is sort of null vs a few decks and it irritates me. So I am going back down to 7 counters and it has felt decent so far especially with the Snapcasters to double them up. Disperse is a nice multifunctional effect that has a lot of purposes. I was leery of it at first but I think I like it now. Until I find something better it can stick around.

Also I would really love to fit in 2x Ratchet Bombs in my SB vs the token matchup. I dont really know what I would cut as of right now though... Celestial Purge is another card I am considering to be added to the SB. It is possible that the Timely Reinforcements and or the Revoke Existance might take a hit for these to come in.

Ok... I am not going to really list all the changes that have gone into the deck of late. Essentially I completely overhauled the whole list. I am running a lot heavier control style draw / go type of deck. There isnt much that I would tap out on my own turn for now.

Dropping the creature count really allows me to control the game more at instant speed. It was really sort of a needed action in order to allow the deck to counter more things. Otherwise I was tapped out on opponent's turns too often.

Alright another wave of changes:

+2 Spellskite in the Mainboard
-2 Spellskite in the Sideboard
-2 Sword of War and Peace in the Mainboard
+1 Sword of War and Peace in the Sideboard
-2 Timely Reinforcements in the Mainboard
+1 Timely Reinforcements in the Sideboard
+1 Midnight Haunting in the Mainboard
+1 Negate in the Mainboard

Overall the Timely Reinforcements has been bad in the opposing control matches and even against some other sort of psudo agro decks that dont stack creatures everywhere. I have enough creature support in this deck that it has on occasion been sort of tough to utilize. It is into stricly sideboard now.

Sword of War and Peace has been feeling lacking with how many infect oriented decks are out there... even decks that just kill with nexus so I am pushing one into the SB in case I feel it is still necessary but I haven't been thrilled by it of late.

The Spellskites give me more blockers and a misdirect option which I want to try out mainboard for a bit and see how it goes. I like how it can redirect pump effects so we will see how that goes down. Worst case it is a decent wall. I also like keeping my creature curve decent so I can utilize Moorland Haunt

I have a few changes to make to the list and I think you are right on the Think Twice. I am going to make the following changes:

-3 Forbidden Alchemy
+3 Think Twice
-4 Invisible Stalker sadly he wasnt doing as much as I had sort of wanted from him in this list. I am moving this to be a bit more control and token spawning.
+2 Midnight Haunting
+2 Day of Judgment
-1 Moorland Haunt the creature curve in the list has been going down plus having 2 in play isnt very productive.
+1 Inkmoth Nexus

SIDEBOARD CHANGES
-2 Divine Offering I feel like Revoke Existance is just going to be better going forward. The ability to strip O Rings and the fact that the rez decks cannot recur the target is good. Plus I still have plenty of occasional Wurmcoil Engines that wander past in my playgroup.
-1 Spellskite I dont see this card as highly neccesary in most cases. It is a nice wall vs agro but I already have a lot of agro hate.
+3 Surgical Extraction grave hate. I dont know how much I expect to run into Solar Flare in my own meta currently but we will see I suppose.

With these latest changes I guess the sword count and types are sort of on stand by. I might end up dropping the swords down to 3 as the creature curve has been going down of late and I might want to bump it to 3x feast and famine.

Your Solar Flare hate is...nonexistant. No Spellbomb/Surgical Extraction?

Think Twice will probably benefit you more than Forbidden Alchemy.
