MTG Salvation

Thats cool, Man. congrats
After watching that entire video, I find it funny that Jim says the deck is terrible the entire time he is playing it. But goes 4-1

So are there any other changes you wold make?
Sinister Sabotage for negate and dive down?

Here is Jim Davis playing the exact deck.

Here is a list that finished 4th place at Star City Games Standard IQ Fall River Feb 03, 2019



Interesting to note that this version plays all expensive spells with no early interaction.
The top 3 finishers at this event were
1 Mono Red Aggro
2 Mono Blue Tempo
3 Esper Control

Why do you think that? He is much more of a heavy hitter, especially with the trample. He comes out faster and is a better lazav target for sure.

Sure thing. I like flashing in an attacker that bounces something. And surveils for for free.
Also, this deck probably does not want a three cmc counter. Negate and disdainful stroke would be my choice.
Overall the deck looks pretty cool.
How many activations are you getting from Lazav?
Oh and if you dont want to go all in on vraska's Contempt then Murder may be a nice choice.
You could also add Arguel's Blood fast in the side for control matchups

Doom Whisperer sucks balls.
Dream Eater is better than expected.

Since they've put in traditional ranked on mtga, I'm sure that bo1 ranked is going to be 100% rdw, so this will be my goto if I decide for quick games. I did enter my list into a Bo3 event and the few matches I ran against control I lost game 1, but won the matches. Dawn of Hope is where it's at, my friends.

Details please. Dawn of Hope seems painfully slow. Is this a main deck choice too?

maybe you could splash black for

• Kitesail Freebooter
  
• Thief of Sanity
  
• Drill Bit
  
• Cast Down

You could max out on Grace / Dawnbringer
Or there is

• Vona, Butcher of Magan
  
• Basilica Bell-Haunt
  
• Seraph of the Scales
  
• Resplendent Angel
  
• The Haunt of Hightower

Or you could add Kaya, Orzhov Usurper if you havent already

Your exact list. I was play testing it on tappedout.net and noticed I frequently had a ton of land extra.

Sure, Treasure map allows you to scry, draw cards, and flips into a land. You are probably safe to go to 24 land.

Would this deck run just as good with one less land and one more creature?



PS: I was play testing this deck on tapped out. It's REALLY fun. I just need to figure what to put as the last three side board cards for my meta.

Hello Thesedaiv, What does your list look like?

looks like we are back to multi-color good stuff decks

do you guys think Quench sucks?

Hello Everyone,
For the first FNM of RNA, I brought the list in the first post to my LGS. And it is an expen$ive deck. With only four rounds, the turn out was smaller than usual because of SCG Indy.
Unfortunately I went 0-2 and threw in the towel. Losing to Naya RGW Big Dinosaurs and Rakdos Midrange. There were however mulligan issues in both matches.
Perhaps Orzhov Control is really only good at beating Gruul Aggro. Or maybe I am looking at the construction of the deck incorrectly. But it seems the concept of Orzhov control is a failed experiment. Sorry folks
Any comments and criticism are welcome
Thanks for the support.

It doesnt have flash though? It's good though.

Ahh damn my dreams are crushed

What do control decks want?
Card draw.
Life gain.
Mana sink.
Evasive creature.
Hydroid Krasis answers all of these. And it has flash on top of that. Ridiculous.
Your'e in Bant. Should be an auto in.
