Sorry didn't see that. Idk though I like the scry, regardless of the shock. I corrected the above post. Read the Bones can put you a good 4 turns ahead of your opponent. While Pilfered Plans gives you a card advantage of only 2.

Decks have placed first running 4 Sphinx's so it isn't unheard of. Not a big fan of Pilfered Plans. Three mana for the opponent to mill two and draw 2 cards at sorcery speed? I'll stick to Revelation. Just my personal preference. It isn't the life gaining alone that makes them concede, you just drew a ton of cards to increase your resources against your opponent. Odds are you got something to hold them off, win the game, or both.
Don't really need to run that in this deck. If I exile something with the priest and then I need to verdict the field, they get the creature back that I exiled. Counter productive.
Only reason I run 4 is because the draw options are not as good. Control lost Think Twice which was a bigger hit than anyone thinks. If we had better draw I would run 3 but I'll be fine with 4. Lots of control decks run 3-4 anyways and I don't want to be too heavy on counters.
I have thought about Omenspeaker, I have her in my Azorius control deck. Can't seem to fit her in cause I'm not sure what I would take out. I do have a lot of Scry in here as it is though...
Well that is why I only run a one of it. It does have it's drawbacks but it isn't a complete waste to have. At least in my opinion...
I only run one because it is a 2 mana kill spell. That is really the only reason. I like Hero's Downfall a lot but I just want the option there in case I need it. That is really the only reason.
My sideboard idea is dumb? I have thought about putting in Essence Scatter but just didn't. If I was going to put another counter in then it would be Swan Song.
Yea I keep hearing about Swan Song and I'm going to play test it. A 2/2 bird isn't that big of a threat comparing to what you're countering. Thanks a lot!
I have been thinking of dropping it for HD and the more I read yalls comments the more I lean towards it. Keep the input coming. Also plz like the deck. It would mean a lot :)
I agree with Ninja and Helios. Blood Baron is nice but maindecked isn't much of a threat. Comes out sooner yea, pro black and white, cool. It can still get taken out. AEtherling is much harder to get rid of once he hits. If I need to Supreme Verdict then Blood Baron still gets destroyed. I can slow blink out AEtherling after an attack phase to board wipe. Then he'll come back at the end of my turn.
Thanks for your input. I wanted Blind Obedience in the board but couldn't remember it when I made the deck. I took Merciless Eviction out of the maindeck and added a 4th Verdict. I appreciate your input.
Sorry didn't see your comment. I'm going back and forth with Ultimate Price/Doom Blade in my head. Liking Blade better to be honest. Doom Blade can't kill Obzedat either but you did make other good suggestions lol.
It happens. Sorry for misunderstanding.
Thanks for the input. Greatly appreciated.
True. If I do decide to take her/him out any input on what I should put in?
Maybe you're right but I do like the -X. I could just use it on myself if I have too? Really wasn't thinking of using her as Drownyard though but I can see why you or anyone would think that. Like I said though I have to test everything out. If anything it is a utility card that is slowing milling out my opponents resources with the possibility to give me one of their creatures.
Wasn't trying to be a douchebag and no I don't want Ashiok to be drownyard. Wasn't even thinking of her like that. Also you didn't get me butthurt but the way you commented made it seem like you were saying no one should run planeswalkers because there are too many answers for them. If I misunderstood you then I apologize. I have Ashiok in here cause I just like her. Him? Thank you for your input though.
So then no one should run planeswalkers because there is too much planeswalker hate. Might as well just take all creatures out of every deck with that logic...
I'm switching them in and out at the moment. I'm just pulling sample hands and wont be able to do actual tests till I get home. I'll see how I like it though.
