Although most of these cards recur only the creatures in your graveyard, you can also get into your opponent's graveyards as well. And after you read the game report below, you will see what I mean.Īdarkar Valkyrie, Sword of Light and Shadow, Animate Dead, Debtors' Knell, Phyrexian Reclamation, Beacon of Unrest, Profane Command, Karmic Guide: With all of the destruction you are going to be throwing around, you might as well use some recursion. Otherwise, you will have some really long games. All this equipment will help get her through. As a matter of fact, with all the dragons and other huge fliers out there, sometimes it is hard for her to get her damage through. Sword of Light and Shadow, Sword of Fire and Ice, Loxodon Warhammer, Sword of Vengeance: Although Selenia is cool, she doesn't bring the most power to the table. There is a nice variety in here, with various methods that include card draw, enchantment and artifact destruction, and tucking of generals. She can dodge all this stuff and come back right away. As usual, a closer look at the individual cards: Mass DestructionĪkroma's Vengeance, Austere Command, Damnation, Decree of Pain, Final Judgment, Hallowed Burial, Martial Coup, Rout, Wrath of God, Kagemaro, First to Suffer: Who doesn't like to blow up the world every once in a while? I know that this may seem like overkill to some folks, but we are playing to Selenia's strength here. Since she is an angel, might as well bring a couple of her angel friends along with her. So we are looking at lots of removal to keep the skies clear for her to punch through. And if for some reason you have to discard her, she just hops back to the Command zone, ready for you to play her again. This is a huge advantage over every other Commander out there, and makes kills by General damage that much easier. As a result, the third, fifth, and even the seventh time you cast her she will still only cost 5 mana. As such, the deck will include a decent amount of Wrath effects as well.įinally, after you cast her the first time, she pretty much never has to return to the Command zone again. You can even bounce her before you Wrath of God. If someone tries to Terminate her, just bounce her and replay her again later. In addition, she is able to avoid all types of removal. This means that she is essentially immune to tuck effects. For the low, low cost of only 2 life, you can bounce her to your hand. However, it is her second ability that makes her interesting. She is an angel, so it makes sense that she can fly. She's pretty sweet, even if it looks like she wants to kick your butt. Let's take a look at her up close, shall we?: Instead, I went with the hotness herself, Selenia. So I ended up passing on the spirit idea. But after that you are stuck with stuff like Gibbering Kami. Sure, the good ones were really good, like Kagemaro, First to Suffer, Spirit of the Night (ok, if not good at least a nostalgic favorite) and Yosei, the Morning Star. For this new challenge, I actually started off trying to make a spirit based- Ghost Council of Orzhova deck for you guys, but I realized pretty quickly that there weren't enough spirits in these colors to my liking. It was based on tokens, and I know I have done enough token decks for you. I remember making a Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck a while back, when Painter's Servant was still legal in the format. There are actually only three legends in this color combination. Or at least a match based around white girls with black make up. They seem like a match made in heaven to me. Meanwhile, Black brings card draw and recursion. White brings mass destruction, and the ability to get rid of every type of permanent. Sounds good to me!īlack and White may seem like opposites, but in Magic they have a lot of overlapping facets, and complement each others weaknesses. I was playing against someone (somewhat) recently who said they wanted to see my take on an Orzhov deck. Now let's get back to the type of aggro-control decks that I like. I have had my fun doing things a little bit differently with my last two decks. Introduction: A little bit of Yin, a little bit of Yang
