Dies_to_Doom_Blade:
But Perplexing Chimera is way too slow and you have to have it on battlefield before commander is cast... I will test Ixidron, he is on my test list. I think he can pretty nice in disabling commanders, because there is not so much way in many decks to turn them face up. You just have to prevent them dying.
I'm against Elesh Norn, grand cenobite. It doesn't go along the theme and can be big problem if stolen even for a while. But maybe I'm wrong. Some additional overrun effect would be nice. Craterhoof Behemoth is like a win every time.
FacGame
Added Sunblast Angel to my test list, wondering about performance. Supreme Verdict is out of question by my opinion. We are controlling through creatures so this can be used only with Ghostway or in very bad situation.
Outcryqq
I have already added Arcane Lighthouse, but I hadn't chance to test it yet. Having this and Ixidron can be enough.
ALL
Now my test list is this, any other ideas? (don't want dead-eye too, it will be overkill in this deck for my meta) Ixidron Nevermaker Sunblast Angel
Sometimes you need to cast a Supreme Veredict... maybe it could be replaced by Ixidron (i dont have any.. yet..)
btw, anyone else plays Resolute Archangel? In my meta i always have "acceses" to the angel, or that is what my opponents thinks... they say: "- Damn, im sure he have that f*** angel in hand..."
Either Krosan verge or Riptide laboratory for High market
Lab is good with only a few creatures in the deck and verge does ramp but it takes a while, and it's often that I have better plays
Fiend hunter removal of one thing isn't really an issue when it's a creature and my general does the exact same thing but better
Detention sphere removal of problem cards just mean they come back when I nuke the board with Bane of progress so it's not been that great. It's something I haven't drawn as much but it's often a dead card in hand. It's great with Bloom tender and Brago, king eternal (Who isn't here currently) but eh?
But I'm still wondering how do you get rid of pesky creatures with hexproof / shroud...
I'm wondering how do you solve problems with creatures (mainly commanders) with shroud/hexproof ability. I was fighting the Lazav, Dimir Mastermind deck and I was perplexed that I can't get rid of him. Still beating him, but I wonder about Sigarda, Host of Herons, Geist of Saint Traft and such.
Good list. Obviously a bit more creature-intensive than my list, but I think that's a viable route to go with the deck. How have games gone for you so far? Your deck looks a bit slow, so I'm surprised you don't run a few more sweepers. How has Riftsweeper been for you? What about Faith's Reward and Ghostly Flicker? You might consider Ghostway instead of the flicker, just because it will flicker as many or more permanents as would the flicker, but you can also use it to save your board from wipe.
It is a bit slow, but we have a slow meta, so isent a big problem. I dont need so many sweepers because im the gut been sweeper off, kinda "im the guy who knoks"
I have good results with the deck so far. We usually play free-for-all, 2HG, and 2vs2 or 3v3 teams. In free for all games i usually get focused a bit, because i got the best late game deck. In 2HG or teams i have a very good match if my teammate has a control base deck, i have a almost sure win in those cases...
Riftweeper was a good addition to the deck.
Faith's Rewards its against wraths and armaggedon effects, there is a few LD on my meta, so protect my own lands its very important. Ghostly Flicker is a combo/lock card. Ghosly+archeomancer/eterneal witness+mistic snake/venser/removal its very sick, and you only need 3 mana...
I few friends play with planeswalker based decks, so i cant cut out Brutalizer Exarch, its almost the only way (besides combat dmg) to get rift of them...
No Dies, I meant Riftsweeper. You can Roon targeting their creature and Riftsweeper it into their library. You can even Roon targeting their creature during an end step, untap, and flicker the Riftsweeper, making sure it comes back first.
I recently add Riftsweeper because there is a lot of graveyard hate on my meta, my opponets usually exile the recursion cards of the deck (lark, karmic, etc) But i didint notice the Riftsweeper/Roon' commander removal combo. I tryed it and it works great.
About Clever Impersonator, I'm continuing to play Progenitor Mimic because I can bounce him every time. Clever Impersonator lose creature status if clone a non-creature permanent and not have a populate effect itself.
I'm setting up a new Roon revising my old idea. When the list is ready I share it with you.
About drawing, You play only three card in your actual deck. How many times you remain with few cards? Your list seems strictly related to Prime Speaker Zegana drawing abilities, what happen when you lose her?
I'm thinking to put almost four or five drawing cards in my list: Prime Speaker Zegana Mulldrifter Fact or Fiction Consecrated Sphinx and/or Arcanis the Omnipotent.
About the last two cards I know they haven't no EoB effects and I want to play one of them to avoid Torpor Orb effects. I need always to have a B plan for worst situations. (i.e. I'm playing in deck Wickerbough Elder, you can bounce it and can destroy enchantments without use EoB effects).
I particulary love Clever Impersonator, he is truly a wild card for anything. It is true sometimes you cant flicker it with roon, but u can do it with Flickerwisp
I dont like so much Wickerbough Elder, i think he way too expensive and his ability cost expecific mana, i like more Qasali Pridemage, he cheaper, he has exalted and his abikty cost 1 coloress and you can bring him back with Reveillark
I used to run Consecrated Sphinx, but i cut it off. Opponets can copy it or reanimate it and you lose all your edge.
What do you think about Angel of Finality it seems very usefull have some graveyard hate, but most of the times its a dead card... i was wondering to cut it off
I use this babe on my deck, what do you thing about her?
Resolute Archangel I just love it. When things gone harsh this babe makes averthung easier, but its often copied or reanimated by oppnents...
I like Thragtusk more. Blinking him over and over after lockout still gives a better effect and gives blockers as well. Even without optimal blinking he still gains life and tokens so I think he's better.
Also, Elfen Lied is amazing.
I think angel its better because u can restart your life at once. You dont need severals blinks to do it... especially against sorin or setting life effecs...
Sometimes you need to cast a Supreme Veredict... maybe it could be replaced by Ixidron (i dont have any.. yet..)
btw, anyone else plays Resolute Archangel? In my meta i always have "acceses" to the angel, or that is what my opponents thinks... they say: "- Damn, im sure he have that f*** angel in hand..."
To deal with hexproofed creatures, i use Sunblast Angel and Supreme Veredict

I also run Cyclonic Rift, i forget it. Im thinking add Krosan Grip too.
Its not easy to deal with it. You can search for Qasali Pridemage (you can bring it back with Reveillark if you have to) or use Bant Charm and Beast Within, not much more.
I particulary love Clever Impersonator, he is truly a wild card for anything. It is true sometimes you cant flicker it with roon, but u can do it with Flickerwisp
I dont like so much Wickerbough Elder, i think he way too expensive and his ability cost expecific mana, i like more Qasali Pridemage, he cheaper, he has exalted and his abikty cost 1 coloress and you can bring him back with Reveillark

What about Restoration angel?
I use this babe on my deck, what do you thing about her?
Resolute Archangel I just love it. When things gone harsh this babe makes averthung easier, but its often copied or reanimated by oppnents...
Are you serius? This land its great!
