Control

Alright this is my first brew for Theros and I am glad I picked these colors; Alright lets dive in ! When I draw my hand the first card I hope for is Starfield Mystic; it is your best card in this deck - it will allow you to control the board state so much quicker and will get buffer as each enchantment goes to the graveyard.  Of course you want to draw Aphemia and Tymaret together as well.  Idyllic Tutor is in this deck to make sure you have access to Doom Foretold and Akroan War if you don't draw it.  But can be subbed for one Tymaret and one Akroan War if you'd like. I just like have the Tutor's in there for Assurance.  This deck was able to go 17-4 which put me on top #50 mythic constructed bo3.

These cards are powerful when casted back to back, casting Akroan War basically controls one of opponents creatures, which will be sacked to Doom Foretold instead so the creature won't go back when Akroan is done.  Choosing to go with Akroan War first followed by Doom Foretold or Vice Versa all depends on what is going on, it definitely varies between different board states.

Doom Foretold however is your win condition; I know it doesn't sound all that great, but this whole deck synergizes with it; this decks purpose is to control the board allowing you to attack with your 2/2 zombies and win, just make sure you always want to have permanents on the field. Don't be scared to cast Doom Foretold with nothing on the other side, and also don't be scared to cast Omen of the Forge or Oath of Kaya to the opponents face! Having Permanents on the field is an important factor to win.

These cards will help you tremendously on trying to build your board presence (you'd be amazed how quit you can dish out creatures in this deck);  Drawing these cards together is very powerful, but they are also very effective by themselves.  It is pretty easy for this deck to have stuff in the GY; prepare for some Zombie Making!!!! Really feeels like how you get zombies from Field of the Dead Decks; you create zombies while your mana is free for other things; powerful.  I have won on turn 5 with this deck before. Make sure you are exiling creatures from Tymaret to produce the zombies, because Aphemia can only Exile enchantments; you want to save the enchantments for Aphemia.

Treacherous Blessing is broken in this deck; Definitely nice to draw three cards for two cost when mystic is out or three; then use it as a sacrifice from Doom Foretold which allows Doom Foretold to last one more turn.  It can't get any better than this. Just becareful when you are playing Cat/Oven Decks and Burn Decks, you can side them out for removal if risks outweigh the benefits.

Oath of Kaya, Omen of the Forge, Akroan War are all of your removal spells - since the new standard is Creature Heavy, these cards will do justice!!!  These are also the cards you will be replacing your sideboard -- The sideboard consists of different types of removal for the rest of the meta, cept for the two lily's.

 

Nissa is a bad bad card against this deck, Cavalier of Dawn is the answer to Nissa; it also of course answers any big threat; Cavalier dying will trigger an enchantment back to your hand as well allowing; I know the Cavalier is a great card but the Cavalier is not the answer, Cavalier is very effective but there can be something better.   Must play more games and figure it out.

Stay Tuned.   

--- Out of the 40+ games played with this deck, I still have yet to play a game where I board Lily to the Main, there might be a better card for the sideboard --
