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

HELP WANTED :) First EDH deck, blue black control.

Wrexial, The Risen Deep is my general/commander
Creatures consist of fatties, finishers, and a few weenies with good utility

Generally all the cards should provide one or more of the following:
- support Wrexial (mill opponents, get his damage through)
- cancel spells
- creature removal (doom blade, royal assassin, etc.)
- tap or untap (but mostly tap opponents creatures, setting them up for removal and/or for wrexial to get through)
- life advantage
- card advantage
- misc. game finishers (rite of replication kicked, mass destruction with pestilence demon, time stretch for 2 extra turns, etc.)

Questions, suggestions, improvements or complaints? Please comment! Thanks :)

Deck discussion for Check yoself before I Wrexial yoself!

First things first I would recommend Urborg, tomb of yawgmoth because not only does it help your mana base it also makes your general unblockable.
Assassinate is simply a terrible card, get rid of it, same goes for brink of disaster, evil presence, mesmerist (maybe a jace's archivist or keening stone instead)...
I'd definitely run swift-foot boots and and lightning greaves.
With a bit of tweaking this could be a very nice deck. Keep working on it, and if you dont know many old cards just use gatherer to find what you want...

Thanks Betsy! I know about the mighty (expensive!) Urborg tomb, but my wallet is thin so I put in an Evil Presence for now - it will come out eventually. I own all my decks, no wishlists here :)

Swiftfoot boots, Lightning Greaves and Keening Stone are excellent suggestions and I'll put them on my shopping list. Jace's Archivist looks tempting, it will certainly fill my opponents' graveyards with things for Wrexial to cast-and-exile, though I'm afraid it might backfire - I have no graveyard management and my creatures and precious and few, I simply can't afford to mill myself and lose card advantage at the same time.

I have to ask, why get rid of assassinate and brink, when they work well with my tapping mechanic? Is there something better I could use, maybe affects all tapped creatures (oh how I wish sunblast angel was blue or black kekeke)? Thanks for your support!!
