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

Hey guys, just wanted to know what you guys were going to do with the new M13 core set. I personally think its going to boost white weenie exponentially in standard and that is probably what I will be running with at FNM's. Also a weird mill deck could jump in somehow, theres a few cards for it. I'm just now getting back into magic after sitting out nearly all of Innistrad block because I wasn't too interested in it. Hoping Ravnica will be just as amazing as I am hoping for, although I heard a rumor the guilds may not be back in it >.>

Deck discussion for Magic 2013 Discussion.

well, if we go into storyline, Dissension was in referrence to the dissension of the guilds. i thought only a few remained afterward.
although with the addition of Fog Bank and Augur of Bolas, i see Mono-Blue Talrand Control being exceedingly effective, and could even see remnants of old R/U tempo strategies arise from Chandra's Fury and Thundermaw Hellkite.
Though the genuine all-star of M13 imo is Thragtusk- that thing is INSANE. ETB and LTB that all make up for it NOT being a 5 power beatstick that PUKES green card-advantage? i dunno, but my foretelling sees top tier decks Restoration Angel-ing/Cloudshifting that BAMF.

Mono blue talrand would be a personal favorite of mine to run, hadn't even thought of it. Blue is my personal favorite control color, although M13 didn't add too much control cards. And thragtusk? That's just gonna be a booster for my friends stupid stompy deck >.<. I still do see white weenie being near the top, I havn't looked much into the other current standard blocks but my friends played a very aggressive white weenie in FNM and won, seems as though this is just going to boost it without harming it much due to the lowering of Mirrodin

personally i run the W/r humans in standard. i think scars leaving is gonna hurt it bad. no more hero of blade hold :| i really dont think m13 brought in anything to really really help hero leaving. there is odric that im considering. but im not sure yet.

Well, I threw together a R/U Chandra and Talrand burn/control deck as well as a U Illusion Mill deck (link below). But I think that door to nothingness will be seeing some use.

I'm loving the soldier theme that came with odrics deck. Pairing cards like captains call and captain of the watch with avacyn restored's cathars' crusade is so amazing. Here's what I did with it if you feel like checking it out. :)

I wish war falcon wasn't limited by its effect. A nice 1 drop 2/1 flyer. A good addition to a deck like that.

I am planing on making 2 DtN decks, both standard, 1 for multi-player. I would use mana ramp land search to get out Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and use his effect for DtN. And for multi-player games I would thow elbrus into the mix.

@ gaspartacus, doomed traveler and the falcon would be a good way to put it to use, especially if u can put in some crusades or something annoying like that. Another white card I personally like is armored warhorse, 2 mana for a 2/3 is pretty nice to have

Reminds me of the time I was playing 2HG at FNM. My opp swung with a 20/20 sigarda when we were at 20 life. No one on my side had a flyer, but I had a doomed traveler out and a go for the throat in my hand. You see where this is going. We still ended up losing, but we had fun doing it.

Sounds like a fun match kjsj3, almost as good as my best 2hg story ;) it was 30 to 9 and we were losing. I was playing naya aggro and squiggy_b was playing grixis control. The other guys were running gw creatures and br control. We held out for 15 turns with no damage done, then I played a hamletback goliath, and squiggs played a tricks of the trade on it. To our delight, they had already used all of their kill spells, so their only hope was creatures, which just made it bigger. First attack on our side was an unblockable 13/13. Next turn, 16 damage from me, and squig used a searing spear for game. That was a great day xD the goliath became one of my favorite cards, IMO the best rare red creature in the set. :)

haha my favorite 2hg game ended up being a 2v1 estentially xD my opponents were playing r/g aggro and w/r humans. my friend played b/u control and i was playing mono green elves. my friend got mana screwed the whole game. while my opponents werent able to stop my mana ramp to easy. but we had to keep taking the damage because i could lose my ramp. they got us down to like 5. i ended up with like 5 random elves 4 token elves and i had 2 elvish arch druids out. top decked 1 of my genisis waves. casted it for like G/G/G/43. i basically put my library into play haha. used nisa's +1 gain 2 life for each elf you control. next turn i put out my eldrazi monument and won the game.

Nice. It was one sided for us and not in our favor. We were using a B/W token deck with a B/R vampire. They were using a G/W mana ramp human angel and a U/B zombie. I didn't get out an fliers and my friend got mana screwed. If she had had one more mana we could have one. The sad thing is her next card was a land.

i have a feeling Return to ravnica would concentrate on mainly on black,red and blue.

judging by Niv, jace and Bolas has Blue on them we can expect some great Blue cards to support their flavor in Ravnica.

Anyone have any ideas to abuse door to nothingness? I was thinking mana ramp land search with voriclex, voice of hunger. I think elves might slowly be coming back. Also, what do people think about the card homicidal seclusion. I don't really like it even though I made a deck around it.

I love homicidal seclusion. If you have a creature with something like "sacrifice a creature: this card gets+ 2/+2 until the end of the turn" you can attack with like 10 and lifelink in one turn. In a black and blue version you can even make that 10 lifelink unblockable... I also have a deck around it, feel free to click on my name and check it out.

So far ive settled on green as one of the colors ill be playing. Something about thragtusk and rancor being standard again just gives me chills, and i dont usually run green. Id love to do monogreen, ideally. And if that falls through, green/blue talrand using mana ramp and draw spells to poop out drakes each time sounds fun, though it lacks removal. Ive also been very interested in wild defiance as a deck center. Any ideas all? Ive never really played standard in my 5 or 6 years of playing and m13 and rtr seem like a really fun time to get into it.

I think M13 is kind of preparing for Return to Ravnica, i hope to god I can run a U/W or U/B deck in that when it comes out. I didnt't start playing til eldrazi times, so I missed the first ravnica cycle, I hope i can live through the good times.

Second best duel lands in the game. The shock lands were excellent.somebody correct me if im wrong, but i think with the way theyre worded(id have to check) you could pay the 2 life to untap them when farseek puts it into play, unless it being "put into play tapped" circumvents that. Be cool if it worked.

The guilds will indeed return. Five of them in return to ravnica, and the second set, gatecrash, will have the other five. Apparently the third set will have all ten at once. Also, there is art up in the various spoiler sites, and some of it looks like computer animation.

The cards I'm liking are Jace's Phantasm, Talrand, Sky Summoner and Jace himself. I feel you can make a control deck to summon drakes with each control spell while forcing a grave on your opponent with Mind Sculpt for your 1 drop Phantasms.

Gee, its too bad the whole point of mill is to kill not through general damage, or I'd like Phantasm. Jace has been around us long enough that we know he's not good outside mill. Talrand is ok, but he's not very good when you consider the fact that you have to drop him behind protection, or he dies right away (unless you use phyrexian mana spells).

So far, I've seen a ton of love for the new Blue/White cards above. But how much love did they actually get? Odric is the only thing white gets (not even as good as hero), Ajani is overrated (and already dropping in price), and Blue is probably the second worst off color this set (other than red). No Leak, no Snag, no Ponder, no good Blue. Talrand is overrated, and Negate/Essence scatter will NEVER (don't pretend) replace Mana Leak, and Ponder is the best cantrip in standard right now and isn't coming back. However, that said, Auger of Bolas is AMAZING. There may be no game-changing blue in Return to Ravnica (even with Jace), since Wizards MIGHT have learned their lesson with Delver, Snapcaster, and JTMS over the past 2 rotations. The overall best color in the new set, from my perspective at least, is Green. I think Green got away with so much love in M13. Now, this may not be to obvious, but the best reprint in the set is Rancor (again, don't pretend), and Thragtusk is absurd. White won't be bad, per say, just unplayable in mono-white form. The best white card (if not the best overall) in standard is Restoration Angel, but it wants other colors to be with it. Until rotation, there are too many playable boardwipes in standard (Mutilate, BSZ, Bonfire, Whipflare, Slagstorm, and Day of Judgement) for White Weenies to work very well. Don't get me wrong, I think white is pretty much the most playable color in Standard, just not by itself, and the new white cards are pretty lackluster.
