EPTEdit: Should clarify, Sphinx is a problem regardless, pretty sure that Vault does nothing against Esper but Stensia gives you something to do with your mana.

Edit: -2 orzhov charm, +2 mizzium mortars? Also went to 2 appetites in the side and placed a stensia there. Double Edit: went +1 mizz and +1 blasphemous instead. Triple Edit: That terminus on camera by Shaheen LOL | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 2 Reforge the Soul 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Stromkirk Noble 4 Ash Zealot 4 Vexing Devil 4 Boros Charm 4 Madcap Skills 4 Searing Spear 2 Scorchwalker 1 Stonewright 4 Hellrider 4 Sacred Foundry 3 Clifftop Retreat 13 Mountain 1 Thunderous Wrath 1 Plains 1 Legion Loyalist SB: 4 Boros Reckoner SB: 4 Skullcrack SB: 2 Ghost Quarter SB: 2 Gather the Townsfolk SB: EITHER 3 (Firefist Striker) OR 2 Cryptborn Horror 1 Assemble the Legion I have some wiggle room to pick up cards tonight, but this is just built from what I have. Any ideas on fixes and my sideboard question? I basically want to play superfast Rw Agro, Boarding in Gather the Townsfolk for Naya Blitz or other Agro. My Rites plan is to just hit even faster than before, Pulling Vexing Devils for Firefist Strikers. I do have a playset of Cacklers, but I don't know where they should go. | ||

Ive got charms for verdicts, 2x cavern of souls perhaps? Slayers' stronghold works wonders, just play one creature at a time and keep buffing it. If they verdict your single creature, fine, you haste another one next turn. I also use angelic overseers, as they can eat a verdict if i have the requisite human up. | ||

Triple Edit: That terminus on camera by Shaheen LOL Why are you taking out Orzhov Charm? is unconditional removal of any creature at instant speed. Sure you lose life but with nighthawk and ghost council I dont see that being an issue. Honestly I think Boros Reckoner and Thundermaw are the issue here. You're playing a mixed midranged control style yet have 2 aggressive creatures. I would look into faithmenders or something to combat planeswalkers like Orings. Edit: Is Looting good in this deck? the only card you can use in the yard is Lingering souls, seems kinda loose but I guess it's your only way of digging for cards. | ||

And later I put them back in after realizing I needed the instant speed. The TMaw is my "finisher" along with the two ghost dads. The reckoner is there to block and kill another creature in the agro matchup. The spot between midrange and control is where I want the deck to be as I am anticipating a low amount of control decks. My biggest issue, I feel like, is going to be facing reanimator. | ||

I run a straight Orzhov midrange deck right now, and I normally lose game 1 but with board help you should handily win with access to RiP or tormods crypt plus your discard package. | ||

Edit: I also bring in slaughter games against reanimator, I feel like. vs Reanimator: +3 appetite for brains, +2 slaughter games, +2 RiP. -3lilis, -4 Vampire Nighthawk vs Midrange: +2 rakdos's return, -2 tragic slip (if they run boros reckoner -2 bonfire) vs Control: +2 Duress, +1 stensia bloodhall, +1 assemble the legion, +2 rakdos's return, +2 slaughter games. -4 vampire nighthawk, -2 tragic slip, -2 bonfire Double Edit: Oops, forgot aggro. vs Agro: +2 Rolling Temblor, -1 tmaw, -1 olivia (??? I think this is correct. Both seem too slow to have too little impact when they hit the board) | ||
