Land destruction and Anti-flying

Iam trying to take out a deck that uses Admonition Angel and Emeria, the Sky Ruin it also uses alot of flying. I am willing to use any kind of deck I am thinking legacy but anything will do.

You can start destroy land earlier as turn 1, and then if never he play a creature use either Pox or Smallpox.

Stench of Evil is your friend :)

If this guy is playing a mono white fattie deck you should have no problem beating him. Mono whites greatest vulnerability is that it can't take a long game as it has very limmited means to gain card advantage. So playing mono white and big creatures is just a bad idea, so his deck is probably very bad.

If you can discard his hand while keeping your hand nice and fat you win, every time. You don't even need landdestruction. Ofcourse packing something like tectonic edge, wasteland, stripmine is always a good idea to get those Emeria's out of the game.

Paul, what is the kill condition? This may work for you but the stuff it relies on will be taken out by Admonition Angel.

If the player can get that angel out then you are using the deck wrong. You should have a land destoryed turn two or three and keep it going like that. They should have no mana and it costs them to play any at all.

In my humble opinion, pox is the overall best land-destruction/resource denial deck in the game.


My 2-cents, a light version of pox splashed with white for vindicate:
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=148534

* Sinkhole, Smallpox, Vindicate and Wasteland for land destruction
* Extirpate, Innocent Blood, Inquisition of Kozilek, Smallpox and Vindicate for removal
* Crucible of Worlds, Sensei's Divining Top, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Marsh Flats for card/mana advantage
* Stuffy Doll, Tombstalker, Mishra's Factory, Exhume and Reanimate as damage based win condition


... it does not have any anti-flying mechanism, but with all resource denial involved your opponent should never be able to cast this creature. Realizing this, it's more likely your oppoent will discard cards with high-cmc for smallpox, enabling you to steal it through reanimate.

Vindicate and Sinkhole are really expensive cards though.

i'll be honest, there are a couple of really REALLY simple ways to completely wreck a deck that uses those two cards.

bear in mind that simply having the angel in play doesn't actually do anything broken, it relies on landfall.

- go for the throat
- oust
- doom blade (you get the idea)

- strip mine
- tectonic edge
- spreading seas

or you could straight-up just counter it with Spell Pierce... seeing as your opponent will pretty much always want to tap out to play his angel, sometimes holding back a land in his hand to trigger landfall. spell pierce is your friend.

there we go. all you need is some reliable answers and you'll be all set.

honestly it's not too hard to get around big 5-mana dudes. a few well-placed cheap disruption spells and you're all set.

Has a bit everything, board wipe, Land detruction, Counter, and Mana Taxing.

Parallax Tide can slow them down or save a bunch of land of yours from the Armageddon

Keep them locked down and swing with any of my little creatures over and over.
