Arena Standard - 2022 - Orzhov Control
Control
This deck's wincons are (most of the time):
Gameplan:
Melt opponent's hand and drastically slow the game with Acquisitions Expert
, Go Blank
, Inscription of Ruin
, Pelakka Predation
and Skull Raid
and eventually with Tergrid's Lantern
while you gain life and draw with Cosmos Elixir
. Most of the time the opponent is forced to top deck every turn, making your job to outwit him much much easier.
Use your creatures to block during the early game (you can let them die in order to gain time) and block key creatures with Typhoid Rats
, but sometimes it is worth taking damage knowing something bigger is coming. If blocking is not required, you can go a long way by attacking with Typhoid Rats every turns.
Once you play your first board wipe, you generally start to take the upper hand. Board wipe are especially important against izzet dragons because targeting the dragons makes things more complicated. NOTE: Do not forget Goldspan Dragon
gives two mana to the opponent, if you suspect he has a Saw It Coming
, take the damage, bait him with a discard spell next turn and then wipe the board with a foretold Doomskar
.
Deal with creatures by casting Flunk
(try to hold on them if you suspect the opponent is playing Faceless Haven
), Priest of the Haunted Edge
, Vanishing Verse
(absolutely hold on to these if you need to deal with a class card) and Baleful Mastery
and of course you can destroy creatures with Inscription of Ruin but keep in mind that is not an instant (you will use this spell to make the opponent discard cards 80% of the time and sometimes bringing back a Typhoid Rats or a Priest of the Haunted Edge will be a godsend).
Wipe the board with Doomskar and Blood on the Snow
. The latter can be used to bring back Professor Onyx, Tergrid, God of Fright, Priest of the Haunted Edge and I know it will sound ridiculous but Typhoid Rats. Typhoid Rats is extremely useful against Faceless Haven, Hall of Storm Giants
(ward is bypassed this way) and any creature without Trample like Cragplate Baloth
(again, hexproof is bypassed this way). Depending on the deck you are facing, it absolutely can stall the early game big time and come back latter to keep forcing the opponent to be passive until you start your Professor Onyx and Tergrid, God of Fright shenanigans.
Deal with planeswalkers with Baleful Mastery, Vanishing Verse and Blood on the Snow.
Most of the time, you will win by triggering Professor Onyx ultimate and/or Tergrid's Lantern, but sometime you will simply finish the opponent with small fries and Tergrid, God of Fright.
