“I demand nothing, but I want it all.” – Embody the Invisible, In Flames

1. I will not be able to participate in the 2010 States Championships (vacation is long overdue), and
2. I’ve already traded one of my two Jace, the Face-Smashers to the local store for a Primeval Titan and two M11 packs (which netted me a foil Fauna Shaman…), and
3. I’m almost ready to unload my collection

So, even though I won’t be participating, I did have the inkling to create an updated list of the (no longer appropriately titled) “Jundslayer” deck. Were I to sleeve up and sling spells, this is what I’d bring to the arena:

“Red Deck Fails*”, W/U Control (ZEN/SOM/2011)

Land (25):

4x Celestial Colonnade
2x Sejiri Refuge
4x Glacial Fortress
2x Halimar Depths
5x Plains
3x Island
3x Tectonic Edge
1x Marsh Flats
1x Misty Rainforest

Planeswalkers (5):

1x Venser, the Sojourner
2x Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2x Jace Beleren

Creatures (11):

1x Sun Titan
1x Frost Titan
1x Sunblast Angel
4x Baneslayer Angel
4x Wall of Omens

Other Spells (19):

2x Ratchet Bomb
2x Jace’s Ingenuity
1x Marshal’s Anthem
3x Day of Judgment
1x Mindbreak Trap
1x Stoic Rebuttal
4x Mana Leak
2x Into the Roil
3x Condemn

Sideboard:

1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
3x Kor Firewalker
3x Luminarch Ascension
2x Revoke Existence
3x Flashfreeze
3x Negate

Notes:

• I’ve gone back and forth between Wall of (Blawesomes) Omens and Preordain. I like the Walls because they provide good swap spots for the sideboard, and they’re fantastic game 1 against Red Deck Duuuuuuh, but I also like Preordain as it shapes better hands and it can dig you out of tough spots. I’m leaning towards the Walls (mostly because I really hate monored decks). Were I to go with Preordain, I’d drop the Halimar Depths for two more Islands.
• Venser is absolutely bonkers and I can’t believe there are W/U decks—especially with any number of Titans—that don’t run at least one of him. I think he is deceptively good, and I feel he is actually the best planeswalker in the format. Remember, his first ability reads, “…permanent you own“, not “control”, which means you can get back ANYTHING that was confiscated from you. You can also save a dude from Day of Judgment, remove any Pacifism-style auras, reset other planeswalkers, and on and on. He is probably my favorite planeswalker ever made.

That’s all I have for now. I’m just about to head out to P-town, OR for a vacation, which is a concept I haven’t experienced in 4 years now. I need a friggen’ break. Have fun at States, reader of my words.

* I am open to suggestions for a better deck name.

On a brighter note, as the vast majority of Magic writers have espoused, M11 is quite possibly the best core set ever created by Magic R&D, and the return of Mana Leak was a much-welcome tool to herald the return of good old Draw-Go. The titans are also quite the cycle and each is definitely a force with which to be reckoned. With the release of this set of awesome—and since the sorting of my collection was driving me bonkers—I decided to update the “Jundslayer” list and sling some Standard for a few weeks and get some more mileage out of a really fun deck. After some various tweaks, I have arrived at the following list:

“Jundslayer”, W/U Control, version 04

Land (25):

4x Celestial Colonnade
2x Sejiri Refuge
4x Glacial Fortress
2x Halimar Depths
6x Plains
3x Island
3x Tectonic Edge
1x Misty Rainforest

Planeswalkers (5):

1x Elspeth, Knight-Errant
2x Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2x Jace Beleren

Creatures (10):

1x Sun Titan
1x Frost Titan
4x Baneslayer Angel
4x Wall of Omens

Other Spells (20):

1x Martial Coup
2x Jace’s Ingenuity
2x Marshal’s Anthem
3x Day of Judgment
2x Oblivion Ring
1x Deprive
4x Mana Leak
4x Path to Exile
1x Condemn

Sideboard:

1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
1x Elixir of Immortality
3x Kor Firewalker
3x Luminarch Ascension
4x Flashfreeze
3x Negate

The deck has performed quite nicely, and went 4-2 at the last FNM, where its only losses were to an already awful match-up, W/U Turbofog/Mill, with both matches lost to the same player (swiss, then top 8). I added the Elixir to the sideboard  specifically for that match-up, but it’s still probably no better than 25-75, post-board. I added the Anthems as soon as Worldwake was released, and they’ve always been fantastic. The late game of this deck is very hard to beat. It simply preys on any deck sporting the red mana symbol, and it’s quite good against the “mirror” as well (any non-mill W/U control). It’s trouble matches are the usual W/U trouble match-ups: Turboland, WUr Superfriends (which I haven’t seen at all lately), and sometimes Mythic, depending on the draws.

The Fargo BOO, take 1

The very first local BOO draft has come and gone, and it was loads of fun. A ton of awesome designs and mechanics were created, including a very cool take on snow mana:

• Mechanic: “Chill”
• Activated ability: “Chill — 2, reveal [cardname] from your hand: put an ice counter on target land. That land is snow for as long as it has an ice counter on it.”

My own 45-card set’s main theme was enemy-color (as I felt that Eventide was a massive failure of design), and this card is probably my favorite design as I love lands, it produces mana in one of my favorite combinations, and I am retarded for reanimator effects:

The set turned out great and it meshed together quite nicely. There were a few cards that were argued to be too powerful, and I ended up agreeing, for the most part. Here are a few others that help define the set:

A few notes:

• Since these designs are purely for personal entertainment, I don’t mind using artwork from the web. No one who played in the BOO used any of the images for personal gain, other than that they made our cards look sweet. If any artist objects to my posting of their art here, I will certainly take it down. I am a designer myself, and I understand how awful it can be for people to steal your work for their own gain.
• Even after a full round of reviews, some broken stuff got through. If you plan on participating in a BOO draft (and you should, it’s crazy fun), remember that it’s definitely a work in progress, and you can’t catch everything the first time. Something is bound to slip through.
• You’re going to argue over cards. There are no two ways about it. Just keep a cool head and you’ll get through it, and your designs will probably get better as a result.

I had a blast and I can’t recommend forming your own BOO league enough. And now I’m too tired to continue, so the EDH discussion will have to wait until the next article. Good night, Ned.

“Stay away from the pornography, I’m saying, ‘Let’s be like the mountains’!” – Addicted!, Devin Townsend

I have evolved the “Cacaderator” deck quite a bit since the last time I posted a list here. My first move was to eliminate the green aspect of the deck and replace it with blue. The main reason behind this decision was that I felt Brave the Elements was not only a better protection spell than Vines of Vastwood, but it also provided mass protection instead of individual protection, and it can also serve as an alpha-strike enabler. And since I no longer needed green for Vines, I felt blue provided better deck manipulation. Since the deck was mostly white with a green splash, the change to blue left the core of the deck intact.

With the release of Worldwake, I also removed Enlisted Wurm and replaced it with 2 Archon of Redemption and 2 Martial’s Anthem. Anthem felt like the missing key to make the deck really shine, as it allowed the deck to absorb removal and fight right back, and the synergy between Anthem and Archon is just gravy. This change drastically improved the matchup versus Jund and most other aggro decks, and I thus redubbed the deck “Jundslayer”.  The other spells I swapped out for general substitutes.

“Jundslayer”, W/U Control, version 01

Land (24):

3x Celestial Colonnade
3x Sejiri Refuge
4x Glacial Fortress
8x Plains
4x Island
2x Tectonic Edge

Planeswalkers (3):

1x Elspeth, Knight Errant
2x Jace Beleren

Creatures (14):

4x Baneslayer Angel
2x Archon of Redemption
2x Battlegrace Angel
3x Guardian Seraph
3x Wall of Reverence

Other Spells (19):

4x Everflowing Chalice
2x Marthal’s Anthem
3x Day of Judgment
2x Oblivion Ring
2x Divination
3x Path to Exile
3x Brave the Elements

Sideboard:

3x White Knight
3x Kor Firewalker
3x Luminarch Ascension
3x Celestial Purge
3x Flashfreeze

After a few weeks of testing, and then the subsequent release of Rise of the Eldrazi, I made a few more minor changes and made room for the mighty return of Wall of Blawesomes, aka Wall of Omens, which looked like this:

“Jundslayer”, W/U Control, version 02

Land (24):

3x Celestial Colonnade
3x Sejiri Refuge
4x Glacial Fortress
8x Plains
4x Island
2x Tectonic Edge

Planeswalkers (3):

1x Elspeth, Knight Errant
2x Jace Beleren

Creatures (17):

1x Sphinx of Jwar Isle
3x Baneslayer Angel
2x Archon of Redemption
1x Battlegrace Angel
3x Guardian Seraph
3x Wall of Reverence
4x Wall of Omens

Other Spells (17):

2x Marthal’s Anthem
1x Martial Coup
2x Mind Spring
3x Day of Judgment
3x Oblivion Ring
2x Path to Exile
3x Brave the Elements

Sideboard:

1x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
2x Wall of Denial
3x Kor Firewalker
3x Celestial Purge
3x Flashfreeze
3x Negate

I played with this version for a couple of weeks, and I was still unhappy with the numbers. I really missed Chalice, as it just made the deck better all around, and more and more I felt like Brave the Elements, while definitely a good card, was unnecessary in this deck, as the deck already had a great late-game plan.

What I say next will probably sound like blasphemy, but I have to go with my gut, and my gut says the following: Spreading Seas is mediocre. i switched some numbers around to include the playset of them like every other deck on Earth currently running blue, and I was seriously underwhelmed. If I didn’t have multiples in my opening hand, the only thing it did was set both players back a turn. Yes, it’s nice to shut down manlands and Savage Lands on turn two, but it almost never held the opponent off long enough to establish control of the game, unless again, I had multiples in my opening hand. Couple with that the fact that I much prefer to be proactive to my own plan than be reactive to their manabase caused me to drop them out of the deck again mighty quick. After some more testing, this is the list I am currently running:

“Jundslayer”, W/U Control, version 03

Land (24):

4x Celestial Colonnade
2x Sejiri Refuge
4x Glacial Fortress
2x Halimar Depths
6x Plains
4x Island
2x Tectonic Edge

Planeswalkers (3):

1x Elspeth, Knight Errant
2x Jace Beleren

Creatures (16):

1x Sphinx of Jwar Isle
4x Baneslayer Angel
2x Archon of Redemption
3x Guardian Seraph
2x Wall of Reverence
4x Wall of Omens

Other Spells (17):

3x Everflowing Chalice
2x Marthal’s Anthem
1x Martial Coup
2x Mind Spring
3x Day of Judgment
3x Oblivion Ring
3x Path to Exile

Sideboard:

1x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
1x Scepter of Dominance
1x Relic of Progenitus
3x Kor Firewalker
2x Celestial Purge
3x Flashfreeze
4x Negate

A few notes regarding this build:

1. If I had any Jace, the Ball-Stomper, they’d definitely be in over “just good” Jace. But, I’ve been quite happy with JG Jace.
2. Guardian Seraph is amazing, and yes, she DOES reduce direct damage redirected to planeswalkers, as there are two replacement/prevention effects that occur simultaneously, and the affected player gets to choose the order in which they occur.
3. The Scepter in the sideboard is to battle the Polymorph and ramp Eldrazi decks to shut down Annihilator triggers before they occur.

On a more personal note, I will be moving to a new place, with more space and more rooms, and I hope to begin assembling my audio production desk soon. Because of this, I am planning on selling off the majority of my Magic collection to get a good start on not only piecing together the home studio, but to buy a new truck as the old girl has served me valiantly, but alas she is on her last legs. I will be keeping my EDH decks intact as I still plan on playing long, drawn-out, argue-riffic games of multiplayer insanity, but my competitive days will soon be over. It was fun, but I have other plans, and they are most certainly not cheap. I’ll post my Sisay, Kresh, and Grand Arbiter EDH lists soon. Also, it looks like the BOO will actually happen. Put it in gear, motherfuckers!

In preparation for States, I’ve been trying out different decks, most aimed at trying to gain an edge on both Jund AND Boros, which is no easy task. Most of the time, you’ll find you’re good against one but then you’ll end up losing the edge on the other. And if Worlds and recent 5K events are any indication, Jund and Boros are going to be everywhere.

I first tried a WUB Solar Flare-style deck with lots of early control, Sphinx of the Lost Truths to dump Sphinxes of the Steel Winds and Iona into the graveyard, and Rise from the Grave to bring those game-enders back. It was loads of fun to play, and a single Robokroma was usually enough to smack Jund and Eldrazi Green around like toddlers with muscular dystrophy. I have since moved on to other decks, but if you like straight-up control, I would definitely recommend giving it a try. This is the list as it last looked:

“A Mighty Wind”, Reanimator Control

Land (25):

1x Gargoyle Castle
4x Marsh Flats
4x Glacial Fortress
2x Drowned Catacomb
5x Plains
7x Island
2x Swamp

Planeswalkers (2):

2x Jace Beleren

Creatures (12):

2x Iona, Shield of Emeria
4x Sphinx of the Steel Wind
1x Inkwell Leviathan
1x Sharuum the Hegemon
4x Sphinx of Lost Truths

Other Spells (21):

4x Rise from the Grave
3x Punish Ignorance
3x Day of Judgment
4x Esper Charm
1x Soul Manipulation
3x Negate
3x Path to Exile

Sideboard:

2x Identity Crisis
2x Mind Control
3x Zealous Persecution
4x Celestial Purge
4x Flashfreeze

Next, I tried a Bant aggro deck, but I only went through the testing phase and never brought it to any real match-ups. It basically focused on dropping turn-2 Rhox War Monks off of early Noble Hierarchs or Birds of Paradise, which is usually enough to cripple both Jund and Boros right there. It also ran Stoic Angels – I still don’t understand why they aren’t played now – , Baneslayers, blah blah blah, aggro deck stuff. It also ran 4 each of Path and Bant Charm – remember how awesome that card was? It still is. – for problem duders on the other side. I think it’s also a good deck, but I didn’t have enough time to playtest it and work out the kinks before this weekend, so I ended up shelving it.

That brought me back to the deck of which I had been thoroughly getting to know the ins and outs, and that is G/W Cascaderator (see previous article for the decklist). I played with it for about a month and a half, and I had come to learn its weaknesses and strengths. First, it had some issues game one against hyper aggressive decks such as Boros and mono-red. The maindeck Luminarch Ascensions were usually a wasted slot against those decks game one, and I always sided them out, either for creatures or Celestial Purge. Second, while I have always liked Garruk, he works better in a dedicated Ramp or creature-explosion deck, and he was pretty underwhelming in this deck. Third, Enlisted Wurm has saved my bacon too many times to count. There would be times where I would be sitting on 4 life with an empty board, staring down two creatures and an opponent with two or three cards in hand, and I would top-deck Wurm into Wall of Reverence or Baneslayer or Day of Judgment or Elspeth… and steal a victory out of nowhere. I have never been unhappy to have a Wurm in hand.

So, after many games of trial and error (lots of error, but plenty of wins, too), I have come up with a list that’s better prepared for the aggro metagame:

“Cascaderator”, G/W Control, version 2

Land (24):

2x Emeria, the Sky Ruin
4x Sunpetal Grove
4x Graypelt Refuge
4x Forest
10x Plains

Planeswalkers (1):

1x Elspeth, Knight Errant

Creatures (17):

4x Enlisted Wurm
4x Baneslayer Angel
1x Battlegrace Angel
3x Guardian Seraph
3x Wall of Reverence
2x Borderland Ranger

Other Spells (18):

1x Behemoth Sledge
4x Day of Judgment
3x Oblivion Ring
4x Rampant Growth
3x Path to Exile
3x Vines of Vastwood

Sideboard:

4x Great Sable Stag
3x Qasali Pridemage
4x Celestial Purge
4x Angelsong

Some quick notes about this version:

1. Guardian Seraph is so amazing against Boros and token-based decks. It’s funny having to explain that “EACH creature is a source. I don’t take one less damage total. I take one less for EACH dude there, dude.”
2. I wanted something to fill the void left by Garruk, and Borderland Ranger gets me more mana AND trades with Dorkbraid Elf.
3. Emeria is awesome to have late game with a graveyard full of Baneslayers and Seraphs. Just sayin’.
4. After sideboarding, Vampires is basically a bye. That deck is ghey supreme.

If I were to make any changes to this deck before States, I’d drop a Day of Judgment for another Elspeth, but unfortunately I don’t have another one and they’re very hard to find, at least locally. I’ve had a ton of fun with this deck, and I’m going to do my best to rampage through States. Thanks for reading, and yes, I know I said I was going to discuss the Boo, but it’s been put on the backburner for the moment, and States is looming, so pardon my frick.

Back when Time Spiral and Lorwyn blocks, along with 10th Edition and Coldsnap, were what comprised Standard, I was running a GWu “Big Mana” control deck for a few months. It was a blast to play and it led to the types of games I love: grinding, back-and-forth wars. It could stall the ground attacks, refill its hand, wipe the board clean, and swing through the air with giant beaters. Here is the list I ran:

“Big Mana” (G/W/u)

Land (23):

2x Treetop Village
1x Urza’s Factory
2x Wooded Bastion
2x Horizon Canopy
3x Arctic Flats
1x Boreal Shelf
1x Saltcrusted Steppe
6x Snow-covered Forest
4x Snow-covered Plains
1x Snow-covered Island

Planeswalkers (2):

2x Garruk Wildspeaker

Creatures (11):

1x Akroma, Angel of C**t
1x Twilight Shepherd
1x Cloudthresher
1x Crovax, Ascendant Hero
1x Aeon Chronicler
2x Chameleon Colossus
4x Wall of Roots

Other Spells (24):

2x Loxodon Warhammer
1x Austere Command
2x Primal Command
4x Wrath of God
3x Harmonize
3x Oblivion Ring
2x Search for Tomorrow
4x Into the North
3x Condemn

Sideboard:

1x Oversoul of Dusk
2x Cloudthresher
2x Vexing Shusher
3x Riftsweeper
1x Magus of the Tabernacle
2x Teferi’s Moat
2x Tormod’s Crypt
2x Krosan Grip

It consistently trounced aggro decks and even had a decent game against Faeries when that abomination started gaining steam after Morningtide. The deck did some awesome things, and there are few things that feel better than swinging with a Warhammer-equipped Akroma. Looking back at the list now, I’d probably drop two of the Forests for two more Treetops.

After the rotation of Time Spiral, I left the archetype to try other areas of interest like Bant Control, Titanic Tokens (adding red to the G/W tokens deck for Titanic Ultimatum), and DCR (Doran Clearwater Revival… because it’s (tree)Folk Rock), a B/G/W rock deck, abusing the symmetry between the changeling spells (Nameless Inversion and Crib Swap) and Scarblade Elite.

Well, now that the entire Zendikar set is revealed, my G/W Control nerve center lit up like Neo in Matrix: Revolutions. There were so many cool options to sift through, and I still can’t believe Vines of Vastwood was spoiled correctly. How is that card a common AND so ridiculously cheap? I’m telling you, that card is going to ruin many players’ days. The first thought I had at seeing that card in the spoiler was, “Wow, that seems like the best Baneslayer protector ever.” Let’s see, shrug off your removal spell, then blast in for an EIGHTEEN-POINT LIFE SWING? Yes, please. Don’t forget, you can also target an opponent’s creature with Vines to counter their own support spells. I can’t say enough about this sweet, sweet spell, and it is most certainly going in the Commons Cube (Rick is a friend of mine and we’re constantly updating our Commons Cubes) that I am constructing.

And then there’s Luminarch Ascension. I still can’t believe how cheap this card is currently going for (Star City Games has them listed at $3.99). As others have said, this card is simply amazing and is just about guaranteed to go up in price once people realize its potential. I also believe that Emeria, the Sky Ruin is a sleeper and will help to solidify the end game by repeatedly returning offed Baneslayers.

So, after some initial shuffling and rearrangements, I have ended up with the following list, as a hybrid of the old “Haterator” archetype and G/W Control:

“Cascaderator” (G/W Baneslayer control)

Land (24):

2x Emeria, the Sky Ruin
4x Sunpetal Grove
4x Graypelt Refuge
4x Forest
10x Plains

Planeswalkers (3):

1x Elspeth, Knight Errant
2x Garruk Wildspeaker

Creatures (11):

4x Enlisted Wurm
4x Baneslayer Angel
3x Wall of Reverence

Other Spells (22):

1x Behemoth Sledge
4x Day of Judgment
3x Oblivion Ring
3x Luminarch Ascension
4x Khalni Heart Expedition or Rampant Growth
3x Path to Exile
4x Vines of Vastwood

Sideboard:

3x Devout Lightcaster
4x Great Sable Stag
3x Celestial Purge or Harm’s Way
4x Silence or Summoning Trap
1x Path to Exile

A couple of notes about the list:

1. I’m curious if Khalni Heart Expedition is worth exploring. If not, Rampant Growth will then take the spot.
2. The sideboard is speculative and will be dependent on the metagame. I don’t know if Summoning Trap will be worth it in such a creature-light deck, but the power of that card can’t be denied. There may also be a need for artifact/enchantment removal, but again, this will depend on the metagame.

I think this deck will be loads of fun to play (although I severely miss Harmonize) and I see Vines of Vastwood being just insane. Oh, and don’t forgot the sweet Desolation Giant 2.0 play of Enlisted Wurm > Day of Judgment.

Have fun, and if you give it a try, let me know how it works for you.

Up next: a post about a local BOO league (see the BOO article at MTG Salvation for more info) that is hopefully in the works, along with a preview card that will set the theme for my 45-card section.

Don’t let the netdeckers get you down.

Despite my departure from the Standard Magic scene, I still have the itch to build decks. Anyone who’s played against me at FNM probably knows my penchant for building rogue-ish decks. Sometimes I’ll take an existing deck or archetype and fit it to my taste, or I’ll just go flat-out, do-what-I-want rogue. So, while I was reading some of the current information on the metagame (yes, I still keep up), I suddenly got the itch to retool a popular archetype – 5-Color Control. Now, before you roll your eyes and dismiss this as just another 5CC list, remember that I tend to lean towards rogue, not to mention that I have quite a strong Timmy streak in me, which got me thinking – Is it really necessary to run rainbow, or can a similar strategy be accomplished with less colors, and inevitably, an easier mana base?

After some more perusing of sites, I happened to run across an article mentioning Light from Within (Loucks Rogue Report, Van Lunen’s slot on dailymtg.com? I don’t remember; maybe someone else will), and my inner deck-builder suddenly perked up his ears. I’d been wanting to abuse the “demigod” creatures from Shadowmoor/Eventide for a long time, and Light from Within fits the bill perfectly. After some thinking and looking over of various standard decks, I came to the conclusion that it might be possible to build a “5-color” deck, without the five colors, but still keeping the game-plan in mind. Working through various builds, I ended up with two variations. The first uses the resilient Mannequin/Evoke creature package. This is what I ended up with for that build:

Land (24):

4x Reflecting Pool
4x Arcane Sanctum
2x Glacial Fortress
2x Mystic Gate
2x Fetid Heath
5x Plains
4x Island
1x Swamp

Creatures (18)

3x Godhead of Awe
2x Divinty of Pride
2x Baneslayer Angel
4x Mulldrifter
4x Shriekmaw
3x Plumeveil

Other Spells (18):

4x Cryptic Command
2x Hallowed Burial
2x Light from Within
3x Makeshift Mannequin
2x Negate
2x Doom Blade
3x Path to Exile

Sideboard:

3x Burrenton Forge-Tender
2x Identity Crisis
1x Hallowed Burial
3x Esper Charm
3x Celestial Purge
2x Negate

The other variation eschews the Mannequin/Evoke creature package and plays almost identically to the 5CC game plan. Here’s what I ended up with for that build:

Land (24):

4x Reflecting Pool
4x Arcane Sanctum
2x Glacial Fortress
2x Mystic Gate
2x Fetid Heath
5x Plains
4x Island
1x Swamp

Creatures (10)

3x Godhead of Awe
2x Divinty of Pride
2x Baneslayer Angel
3x Plumeveil

Other Spells (26):

4x Cryptic Command
2x Hallowed Burial
2x Light from Within
3x Makeshift Mannequin
4x Esper Charm
2x Negate
1x Essence Scatter
4x Doom Blade
4x Path to Exile

Sideboard:

3x Burrenton Forge-Tender
2x Identity Crisis
1x Hallowed Burial
3x Infest
3x Celestial Purge
2x Negate

I think the second build is probably stronger. Some interesting things about this deck:

1. With the new layering rules, if you have a Godhead of Awe and a Light from Within on the board, any other creature you drop with white mana symbols in the cost will get the pump bonus applied after the quasi-humility effect (which is part of the reason I believe the second build is superior).
2. Infest becomes a one-sided Wrath with a Godhead and Light from Within in play.

I haven’t actually tested either of these builds as I don’t have all of the cards and I don’t play competitively anymore. I’m very curious if it could be a contender, so if anyone feels like giving it a try, please let me know how it works for you.

Don’t let the net-deckers get you down.
