Sideboard ( 15 cards)

Deck Description

built around abusing the crap out of stonehorn and venser! i'd love your thoughts/opinions! also, finished up my first draft of the SB! :)



there are a few cards i'm looking at. :) let me know specifically in the comments what you'd think of each of these? if you've got some spare time and feel super nice. :) haha



i want 2x think twice

i want 1x sunblast angel

i want 1x or 2x elspeth

i want 1x more sun titan and 1x more phantasmal image

i want 1x more sphin

i want 1x more moorland haunt

i want 3x disperse (well, i want 3x into the roil... but ya know...)

i want 2x wurmcoil

i want 1x pentavus

i want 1x karn

i want 3x deceiver exarch

i want 1x more frost titan

i want 2x tumble magnet

i want 1x more o-ring

i really really want 4x squad hawk, 4x big jace, and 4x stoneforge, along with 1x batterskull, 2x feast and famine, and 1x war and peace



also, keep in mind. i'm not these mid-range with answers uw decks like caw-go, caw-blade, puresteel etc... that have been ruling the world of UW



also, this is a modified version of the previous "stonehorn lockdown" deck that i made a while back, here's a link to that one. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

let's start with a basic understanding of each card and how it works:



~~~spellskite: used to protect against aggro and control, and is a solid 2 mana 0/4.

~~~sphinx: a one of to help in that it survives dismember and gives me awesome card advantage. i'd really like to have 2 in there, but idk what i'd drop. maybe -1 snapcaster (i only have 11 instants and sorceries) for +1 sphinx?

~~~stonehorn: a key part of the deck that is good to save me a turn until i can stabilize further, and just a beating with venser

~~~sun titan: used here to get back o-rings, images, and snapcaster mage. also a good 6 drop.

~~~frost titan: works well with venser, swing then bounce for twice the effect, and generally just a really solid card, much better than most cards against a control deck that doesn't run many creatures

~~~phantasmal image: obvious, and works great with sun titan, sucks i can't bounce him with venser, but that's okay. still useful. :)

~~~snapcaster: used to grab a day, ponder (awesome play btw), or leak for the turn.



~~~O-ring: just a great way to deal with anything. xD and o-ringing the o-rings that they put on my venser or stonehorn or whatever is also just swell



~~~gideon: a great stabilizer, creature killer (-2 then bounce to get back up to 6 with venser) and a win-con in his own right

~~~venser: the real key of the deck. the card is just the bees knees. works well with stonehorn, sun titan, frost titan, o-ring, snapcaster, and gideon. he has a ton of targets, not to mention if i'm in a stand-still and can't exile their shit or whatever, his -1 can win me the game hardcore.



~~~day of judgment: just a really obvious one, it works great, and with venser i can bounce what i want then day, also good with gideon

~~~ponder: though i admit that it's not as good as preordain (an auto add where ponder isn't for control), it can help me search up some awesome combos and what i need (stonehorn + venser, sun titan + image, day + gideon, snapcasters, or even just an o-ring)

~~~mana leak: obvious. just really really really even more obvious than day. xD
