[Standard] Etrata Control
« on: October 09, 2018, 01:18:11 am »
A fun way to get an alternate win con, or just smash face with demons. I would appreciate any feedback on the deck. Thank you.

Etrata Control

Keep your opponent under control long enough to start hitting them with Etrata. Use the bounce spells to return Etrata to hand or flicker her and go again.
Use the Deep Freeze to shut down threats and to ensure fodder for Etrata to hit.
Against green force your opponent to discard out those hexproof things.
If your opponent is running tokens bring in the ritual of soot, if planes walkers the sorcerous spyglass and vraska's contempt.
Well, i did not see that coming....

For the sake of budget, I can suggest Citywatch Sphinx, as it gives cardselection on dying and you don't need the trample from doom whisperer.

Not bad though the 6 mana cost and 4 toughness make it not ideal. But for cost cutting it might work.

I like the deck.

Why these rescue, sirene´s ruse and jace?

blink of an eye, main- negate ... some carddraw with opt maybe or a remouval could be better?

Thanks BobWiz. Rescue is cheaper and siren's ruse means not having to recast etrata. Negate can't deal with chupacabra and sinister sabotage allows you to dig. Removal would mean there's no one for Etrata to put a hit on. Jace provides digging since you attack with unblockable etrata and have cheap flyers but he can be replaced with opt or anything else that gives you card advantage. There is some good removal in the sideboard to help against stompy though. :)

You could also use Mastermind's Acquisition in Jace's place.

@jace: with this non-flying tokens jace, cunning survivor is the worst printed PW, even tybalt is better ...
