Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Play tested and figured out a couple weakness' : Day of Judgment, & Crucial spot removal.

A couple of ideas that i'd like to play around with but don't know where to find the room ...

1) Ideally some form of "Negate" would solve both problems, obvious issue however is that i do not run blue, and splashing a color and making this a 4color deck is not something I'm interested in

2) i've thought about "Vines of the Vastwood" great way to protect my win conditions from spot removal but does not help me against "Day of judgment"

3) Duress is something that i've been sitting strongly on, lets me get an early / sometimes crucial view to what my opponent is wielding and lets me pick of nasty spells like "Day of judgment"

Please if anyone has any comments or constructive criticism / input please dont hesitate.

you want to counter day of judgment? totem armor, done.

also counters a single use of doom blade and the like, basically anything that says destroy.

also to counter your probable follow up comment, just use a sideboard and grab what you need after you figure out what your opponent is running.

I certainly don't agree with totem armor. Seems to me like the only way i could use it as a reactionary response is to run Eel Umbra (which is blue) and like i said I'm not keen on the idea of running 4 colors.

Seems like i would need to fill multiple 4x slots of umbra's in order for it to be reliable / effective where-as 1 negate would have done the trick for that DoJ

but if you would like to explain i will listen ... you'll just have to tell me what you would take out, and what you would substitute in

(oh, and obviously i would use a sideboard i just did'nt post it because its not relevant)

you dont need to use it as a counter, prevention is always a better counter. and i dont undestand the line where you said "as 1 negate would have done the trick for that DoJ" im looking at 4x 4 creatures that can beat your opponent down single handedly, 1 totem armor does the same thing, either way its your call totem armor is quite versatile and you should try it.

as far as taking something out and substituting it in really depends on your own playstyle, id probally go for hyena umbra and drop out 1x Lord of Extinction 1x Harmonize 1x Baneslayer or reliquary that call is a bit difficult though.

and i found the solution you were looking for, emerge unscathed lets you save one creature from day of judgement like totem armor, gives you a few uses in actually fighting, and stops spot removal like vines of vastwood would

Emerge unscathed does not prevent day of judgment from killing a creature. The way protection works is your creature with protection can't be the target of spells of the color it has protection from and can't take damage from sources of that color, but since day of judgment neither targets of deals damage(it simply destroys) protection will not stop DoJ.

dauntless escort will stop day of judgment and you won't have to add another color GL.
