Deck Description

A W/U humans deck built using Rin Satou's runner-up deck from the Hiroshima Grand Prix as a (loose) template.

The main changes are the removal of Sword of Feast and Famine for Hero of Bladehold, along with a reduction in the number of Geists and Angelic Destiny to add Oblivion Ring. The deck also replaces Gideon's Lawkeeper with Doomed Traveler, as I often find that opponents will either hesitate to block the Traveler or be unable to block the spirits they generate. It's otherwise very similar, though I'm still completely undecided on the sideboard.

Comments and advice would be most welcome, as I still have a lot of testing left to do before I feel confident in calling this build "final".

Made the change to the sideboard, and also tweaked the mana base slightly based on your deck and a few others I've seen - in my experience, I'm beginning to find that drawing more than one island early can hurt you when you've got so many WW spells. Thanks for the advice!

I'm seeing that the main difference in our decks is that you've got 3x Gideon's Lawkeeper maindeck vs. my 3x Mana Leak; have you found that the additional tempo/Champion of the Parish pump of the 1 drop helps you more than the Mana Leak vs. Wolf Run Ramp decks or UW Illusions, or do you generally board in the Mana Leaks for those?

i haven't play any good wolf run yet ,in my local events most people use control uw ub , aggro w uw gw , rdw , illusions, rbu grixis . Generally against any varietion of control i mainboard 4 mana leaks ,against agressive decks like illusion mana leak i think isn't a good option, for the woulf run i probably prefer to mainboard o ring and mana leak leaving out fiend hunters because they usually run slagstorm. My mainboard is swift depending the deck i play against
