Arena Standard - Lolth's Venom '22

Control

This is the Deck I used to get to Mythic in the July 31st - 10th Season.  Special shout out to @Hellogoodgame for the Assists and the great Discord he has!  Check his youtube out if you ever need help!  

This deck design is control based. Usually you find your self just Digging for Blood on the Snowimage While using the Learn mechanic on Eyetwitchimage and Hunt for Specimensimage for Environmental Sciencesimage in the early Game, even if you have extra land, the life gain from sciences can help survive against a lot of Aggro Decks.  

The Deck has a draw engine in Plumb the Forbiddenimage, Deadly Disputeimage, Skullport Merchantimage and Lolth, Spider Queenimage.  You also have a kind of draw engine with Tibalt, Cosmic Impostorimage when you use his +2 to exile the top card from your, and your opponent's decks.  

It also has a sneaky Aggro option in Zariel, Archduke of Avernusimage when combined with Mascot Exhibitionimage that can give you an explosive win.  

Also having Sedgemoor Witchimage helps with maintaining a defensive board state and much needed life gain from all the pest tokens.  

Bloodchief's Thirstimage is mainly used for spot removal of either annoying creatures or planeswalkers.  And Necrotic Fumesimage helps remove unkillable threats like Koma, Cosmos Serpentimage, Kaya, The Inexorable or Toski, Bearer of Secretsimage.  You can also use Tibalt for the same job as the Fumes.  

The deck has variable stratigies based on each of the "Top" meta decks in Standard 2022.  Usually its about knowing what their key cards are and trying to kill or remove those.  Or just relying on the Blood on the Snow to get everything dead in the case of Aggro like Mono White or Goblins.  

Difficult match ups can be The Green Black deck that uses Skeletal Swarmingimage since there is no removal in the deck for the enchantment.  Mono Green with its Ranger Classimage can be especially tough if you can't get into your Blood on the snow and keep your board protected.  Also Izzet Dragons is especially anoying with its counter spells and Goldspan Dragonimage into Alrund's Epiphanyimage.  

GL if you decide to use this deck and have fun!
