i have done three sealed events for the month of october...i am bad at sealed construction. out of the three events...i only one three matches and its disgusting.i feel like this format is much more intense in which every move from your first turn is critical so there is no roo to slouch just a little bit. for example this saturday i went to the release party...drafted gbr becuase it was really good, i ended up adding white and playing four colors...four colors...in scars...wtf, but the deck actually wasnt that bad. i had fun playiong with it and seeing how it did against people running one or two colors. my thoery right now is that with all the myr fixers and the lack of removal, it is possible, with the right pool, that you can go up to four colors.
at this point i am devoting all of my time into making this orzhov bw mimic vat control deck.
White
white right now, is the best color to play. it basically has answers to every threat in standard wiether it be artifacts coming out of rise with Revoke Existance, Koth of the hammer with Celestial purge, Valakut with leyline of sanctity and creature based decks with Day of Judgement and Sunblast angel.White also has the better planeswalkers that are currently in print in Ajani,Elspeth 2.0 and Gideon. And with scars comes a new type of weapon against ramp in the form of leonin arbiter. arbiter forces anyone searching their deck to either pay 2 or the spell doesnt go through
i am only briefly touching on whats going on the deck until i do more testing but the reasons behind the cards i am using are there.
Heres the thing with Elspeth...shes amazing.everyone knows that a 4CC planeswalker is obv better than a 5CC but honestly the ability to have her protect you and herself. not to mention that if you have board control already shes just going to gain you life so that you can use her ult to reset the board.
Black
With Shards gone, black has the best spot removal and hand and deck manipulation and black even has draw in the form of sign in blood. quite possibly my new fave 1 drop is the fume spitter. fume spitter is a 1/1 sac creature give target creature minus 1/1. the benifit of having a card like this is that it kills off mana dorks such as birds and cobra and if the myr become popular than those as well. it also combos off with contigion clasp but i will get into that later. another token genterator is skinrender which is the modern day flametounge kavu.
as far as the spells that are removal are grasp of darkness and doom blade as simple spot and cheap spot as well.
unfortunatly, the planewalkers for black are poor so i wont be putting Vess or Sorin in the deck And i wont be main decking consume the meek in favor of sunblast angel.
Artifacts
there are some artifacts in the deck but i am still testing and i want to get it right. with so many options with the introduction of scars, there is a lot to choose from so when i finish the actual deck i will post the list but as of right now the one card for sure thats in the deck is mimic vat and its fucking incredible
