Description

Just a simple deck to beat Omnath, rogues and aggro.

 

# Deck

4 Murderous Riderimage - Destroy and block

3 Hagra Maulingimage - Play as land against control.

4 Castle Locthwainimage - Draw more cards

4 Pelakka Predationimage - Discard threats.

3 Agadeem's Awakeningimage - Return Acquisitions Expertimage, Nighthawk Scavengerimage and Scourge of the Scyclaves. Also a land.

3 Acquisitions Expertimage - Annoying discard/block hybrid

3 Inscription of Ruinimage - Discard early and kick it in the late-game.

4 Bloodchief's Thirstimage - Absolutely needed.

2 Nighthawk Scavengerimage - Threat. Blocker. Finisher.

2 Scourge of the Skyclavesimage - Finisher.

4 Mazemind Tomeimage - Engine. Draw and gain life.

2 Extinction Eventimage - Board wipe

2 Erebos's Interventionimage - Versatile tool that also gives life.

3 Necromentiaimage - Yes, maindeck. Target Omnath, Embercleave and maybe Soaring Thought-Thiefimage or Zareth San, the Tricksterimage

3 Liliana, Waker of the Deadimage - Finisher. Very good to prevent the enemy from coming back up again. I would

 

# Sideboard

3 Duressimage - Against counters, Ultimatums and all that annoying stuff

2 Witch's Vengeanceimage - Against rogues

2 Kaervek, the Spitefulimage - Against rogues, bugs, snakes and red stuff

3 Sorcerous Spyglassimage - Maybe. Actually not really needed anymore. Maybe against Ashiok, Nightmare Museimage. Ugin honestly isn't that big of a problem.

3 Shadows' Verdictimage - Exile all the rogues, goblins and snakes you can see. But beware - this also hits your stuff and really messes up with Lilianas ultimate..

2 Sparkhunter Masticoreimage - Maybe. Against Aggro (indestructible blocker that can block Questing Beastimage

 

# How to play against Omnath

Omnath is insanely good, thats why we have to hit it with Necromentiaimage. I can't promise an easy win, the trick is to either prevent them from going off (exile Omnath, discard with Liliana) or -when they get off- to let them mill themselves. Usually they will draw their whole deck by themselves, we just have to survive until then.

Omnath decks usually have multiple win-cons: Omnath, Shark Typhoonimage, Elder Gargarothimage and maybe Ruin Crabimage, Terror of the Peaksimage or Ugin. The latter three are "easily" removed, but Shark Typhoon is annoying once it hits the board. I would recommend to target it after Omnath.

Depending on the game flow, try to exile Omnath, Shark Typhoon or Genesis Ultimatumimage.

 

# How to play against rogues

Just destroy everything. Between Kaervek, the Spitefulimage, Witch's Vengeanceimage, Shadows' Verdictimage and Extinction Eventimage they have no chance.

 

As usual, the meta develops, so who knows how Omnath decks look in a week - until then, have fun!
