Deck Description

I'm fairly new to the whole mtg scene and have only recently gotten into the workings of the game. I have a thing for Sirens and Muses, and seeing as how there aren't many muses in the game, I worked with all Sirens (and ghost ships). My friend (who is also new to the game) has decided to be the devil and put together a faerie deck... from what I understand from blogs and articles I have read... fans of mtg are not big fans of the faeries - I now understand why. Long story short - I needed a deck with flying and quick instants or sorcery spells that dealt -1/-1 damage (as most faeries are 1/1), all while staying in a theme. Let me know what you think. I welcome ANY hints, tips, or tricks. I created a green/white deck (that I love), but it didn't fair well against the faeries... *grabs the fly swatter*

How to Play

Take control of the enemy's creatures (Siren of the Fanged Coast / Hypnotic Siren) - create an army of Sirens - destroy any defense an opponent may put up either by taking control of target creature or returning target creature(s) to the opponent's hand (Eye of Nowhere, Whelming Wave, & Voyage's End). If target opponent's creature is weak (1/1) - Midnight Charm will remove it from the playing field (only costs 1 mana). Favorable Winds beefs up the Sirens (+1/+1) - Chorus of Tides creature cards hit for the biggest damage.

Yeah, Faeries are nasty little buggers, ha. Can't blame you for wanting to build a deck to counteract them. If I could make one suggestion, I think you need to roll with Ponder rather than Whispers of the Muse. That card is the weakest link in the deck if you ask me. Otherwise, cool looking deck!

I was thinking of adding Ponder which is indeed a great card but it's Banned in Modern, Restricted in VIntage, and can only be played in Legacy. Granted I'm still purchasing it for casual play. Ha ha! But thanks!!!

Yeah, that was exactly my train of thought; since it's casual you might as well!

I've gone ahead and edited the deck - I played several times against the faerie deck my friend has and I couldn't get past his instants. My creatures wouldn't last long enough on the field so I decided I needed shroud. I added Clout of the Dominus, Protective Bubble, and Robe of Mirrors. Thoughts anyone?

Nice deck, found a few gems for a "take control of" deck I'm working on, if you worried about faeries and this deck is to counteract them, maybe pyroclasm would be good to be able to sweep them or other similar small annoying swarms. Looks pretty good overall.

Thanks! I can see how pyroclasm would be beneficial - I would have to edit the deck to include mountain lands... I'm not sure I could draw this card quick enough along with the necessary manna to do it. I could try adding "Sulfur Falls" x4 to my lands so that I have a better chance... this requires some thinking...hmmmmm
