Main Deck (65 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 discussion for Empires deck

I understand you own this deck IRL, and realise you might not want to buy individual cards, but im gonna list off things i think will improve the deck if you replaced them with what you have:

To add To remove

Fogbank OR Gideon's Lawkeeper x4 <> Tumble Magnet x4
Diabolic tutor x2 <> Rune-scarred Demon x2
Merfolk Looter OR Jace Beleren <> Ponder x4 (Banned: Legacy Only)
Go for the Throat x2 <> Increasing Ambition x2

And to finish off:
Remove x2 Islands
Remove x2 Swamps
Remove x1 Solemn Simulacrum

Reasons:

Tumble magnet is a sub-par card compared to fog-bank and gideons for control.

Diabolic tutor is core to this deck's theme and less expensive than demon.

Ponder, unfortunatly, is banned. If you care about this at all, looter and jace are both cheap drawers that can replace it.

While Increasing Ambition is a great card, it requires too much mana to effective in a deck without fast-mana. Go for the throat adds to the control you need to surive until you get your combo.


Hope this was useful.

Also, removed lands and solemn to reach 60 cards. 22 should guarentee steady land pulls, and solemn needs a different kind of deck to be effective.
