Hi, I would like to discuss with you guys some basic strategies for specific match-ups. Deck Im currently playing with is this one:
creature [3]
2 Hellkite Overlord
1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
instant [20]
1 Brainstorm
2 Daze
1 Echoing Truth
4 Force of Will
4 Impulse
1 Mystical Tutor
4 Negate
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Wipe Away
sorcery [6]
1 Demonic Tutor
4 Duress
1 Gaea's Blessing
1 Ponder
enchantment [4]
4 Oath of Druids
artifact [6]
4 Chalice of the Void
1 Lotus Petal
1 Scroll Rack
land [21]
1 Breeding Pool
4 Forbidden Orchard
2 Forest
3 Island
4 Misty Rainforest
1 Strip Mine
3 Wasteland
3 Watery Grave
60 cards
Sideboard:
1 Empyrial Archangel
1 Hurkyl’s Recall
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
1 Krosan Grip
4 Leyline of the Void
2 Null Rod
3 Oxidize
2 Smother
15 cards
As you can see, Im playing with Iona and Misty Rainforest, because I plan to invove those cards into the deck and Im also trying to play without power, at least till I can get some. I will probably test some more cards like Spell Snare, Spell Pierce, Diving Top, Lim-Duls Vault, etc.. I played Oath decks a lot in times of Morphling/Weaver/Feeder or Spirit/Akroma + Enlightened Tutors aka Bob Maher's Oath. But after turning this deck into Vintage format, Im a bit confused how to play all the match-ups. So I might need some help here. The specific decks I will be most likely playing against will be Tezzeret, Stax, Fish, Ichorid, TPS, maybe Goblins.. Could you give me some basic tips on each + a sideboard plan ? You can also suggest some changes in the deck, but this is the best I could afford, right now. Thnak you very much.
Sensei's top is prob a bad idwa, just because the orchards are going to kill you if you keep paying 1 to look
