by Setherial on 03 December 2009

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Sorceries (4)


Instants (4)

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

created for the Deck Challenge: Nicol Bolas. I don't think the current mana base can really support a deck like this but hey, Type 2 was the restriction so here is a type 2 planeswalkers deck. I'm guessing it will do ok in casual play and in multiplay games.
The deck is untested and the landbase will require work.

The sideboard probably sucks, negates should be mainboard in tournament play (versus jund)

1 more obelisk terramotphic instead of panorama some counters
drop the terminates
maybe some walls

btw i replied on you comment onder my valakut combo deck
valakut is absolutely not a 4 of cause it takes away other colored mana slots or mountain slots and i absolutely need all those mountains valakut is no mountain
an dmake trigger 2 of them is good enough even one is killer

Negate in main and terminate in side would indeed be a lot better. The mana base is the main issue. I need 3 colors early game, URW. Without proper fetchable duals that don't enter tapped this deck is a gamble anyway you put it. Against Jund it will loose despite all the removal as it can't keep up with Sprouting Thrinax and cascade. The deck concept however is strong.
The reason for the lack of walls (wall of denial would be good) is Day of Judgment, but it's not that big an issue . Playing a creatureless deck has it's benefits though.

Creatureless? Blergh, I can see your Days of Judgement being counterspelled - and as soon as you play a planeswalker, you'd pull threat, and have to deal with a wave of creature aggression - good luck handling that with your terminates. Of course, maybe this is only for duels, like most decks here. 75 cards? *shakes head*

Yes decks have 75 cards if they include a sideboard, what planet do you play on?
This is T2, there are no counterspells being played aside from negate and aggro doesn't play negate. If it wasn't for the dodgy landbase this deck desimates aggro. It still does but as I said the mana base needs work. I can easily see it beat vampires for instance. I think you just don't have any experience with control decks. With last years landbase this deck would be good when piloted well.
