I advise against running a bunch of durdly lifegain like the above poster suggests. Having 40 life doesn't make you win any faster if you don't have decent creatures.

Terminus isn't "better" then Supreme Verdict , they are both very strong sweepers--uncounterability is very relevant in some matchups, just as binning everything is irrelevant in others.

terminus is way better than supreme verdict , it if were talking about aggro match ups, killing everything on the board could lose you the game with geralf's messenger and  blood artist in standard, not to mention gets rid of some of the more resilient creatures like falkenrath aristocrat , lotleth troll , golgari charm and predator ooze as well; It is probably one of the few miracles that are actually worth taking a chance on.

In control match ups where people are using counters your not going to care about having an uncounterable board wipe anyways, a mirror match is probably the only place where the uncounterable clause of supreme verdict is going to matter.

Angel of serenity is probably a good card, but it costs entirely too much in a aggro match up, if your going against an aggro deck there going to kill you before you hit 7 mana without some sort of life gain/wall to defend yourself with, not to mention if you want to hit hard just use the runechanter's pike to ramp up one of your guys later in the game and wail on them; if zombies are the problem just use knight of glory they really can't handle that guy too easily, just make sure he doesn't get hit by a searing spear or something like that.

Ah actually just packed a deck with 4 Nevermores and bouncers and on T3 against UWx they always say "ok ok" when you cast it then when you say Restoration Angel they try to cast it in response

In control match ups where people are using counters your not going to care about having an uncounterable board wipe anyways, a mirror match is probably the only place where the uncounterable clause of supreme verdict is going to matter.

Dawg.

Dawg.

You may not have realized, dawg, but Terminus costs 6, and Supreme Verdict costs 4.

Also, you guys might not realize this (I can understand if you can't for some reason comprehend it) but durdly life gain creatures are a pillar of this format. When your ability to answer threats is garbage, a control deck has to just slow them down enough to be able to take over the game. 

isn't that just the point anyways, just durdle with lifegain then terminus later in the game when they over extend, then proceed to win the game

If i had to run a 7 mana creature with flying i much prefer drogskol reaver over angel of serenity. She is way to hyped. She dies to ultimate price.  While reaver doesnt. I have never liked the bounce On serenity. cause i usually grab my stuff but ill grab their stuff if i have to but she doesnt have hexproof which makes her worse.

is [c]lone revenant[\c] a decent option? a 4/4 hexproof body aint nothing to sneeze at for 5 mana. But if it by itself it gets a nice ability when it deals damage. Maybe 2 in side if there is a bunch of cards with spot removal.

i also like th. Fetergeist idea maybe in certain matchups.

and im right now running 2 terminus an 2 supreme verdicts mainboard with 1 verdict in side.  i us to borrow my bro's other 2 terminus and had 4. Term and 1 supreme verdict main. terminus is better against almost every matchup. In somecases even mirror because u dont want to give them even more moorland haunt activations.

i definatly want to try nevermore now.it be so over powered if it was only opponents couldnt cast. Then ucould use it in the mirror too. I also just got 2 detention sphere and will try these.


has anyone tried knight of glory? Is he very usful against aggro matchups? Because i would have to constantly worry abour spear or pilar of flame.
