Deck Description

Standard is quite creature oriented and what would be better suited for that than a deck made of removal?

At first it may seem like the deck doesn't have much going for it besides creature removal but don't be fooled...

How to Play

Control the board and build up your mana reserve. Cabal Stronghold starts to generate additional mana at 4 basic swamps and yes, you can have multiple on board at the same time.

If there is nothing to be killed draw cards with arcane enclycopedia at their end step or cast Dark Bargain to find what you need.

Plaguecrafter can be used as an answer for planeswalkers as well as killing creatures but it can also be utilised as discard when your opponent doesn't have anything to sac.
Chupacabra is pretty straightforward as is every removal spell, Price of Fame has added spice with surveil 2 that helps with setting up draws. Ritual of soot is there for when your opponent manages to get multiple small creatures on board.

The Eldest Reborn can remove creatures and planeswalkers, forces our opponent to discard and at last turn it can bring back any creature or planeswalker from your opponents graveyard or an other chu / plaguecrafter from your own.

Opponent is strugling at this point and if you haven't won with their creatures or just running them down with chu's (unlikely) you cast Josu with kicker and WHAM 20 power on board with menace.


Sideboard can steer the deck towards heavier hand control if your opponent is playing deck with fewer creatures or you can bring in lifegain if it's needed.
