Decklist - Metakiller [B/W]

So what did I want to talk about that one week? A deck I devised to take on the current meta.

Do realize this was literally made the night before New Phyrexia Game Day, so Big Boy Jace and his Stoneforge Waifu were still around in T2.


Metakiller
---Lands (22)---
x6 Plains
x8 Swamp
x3 Marsh Flats
x1 Mystifying Maze
x4 Terramorphic Expanse

---Creatures (23)---
x2 Abyssal Persecutor
x3 Baneslayer Angel
x4 Leaden Myr
x2 Leonin Relic-Warder
x3 Myr Battlesphere
x3 Palladium Myr
x2 Sun Titan
x4 Wall of Omens

---Artifacts (7)---
x2 Everflowing Chalice
x3 Myr Reservoir
x2 Prophetic Prism

---Spells (8)---
x3 Dispense Justice
x3 Go for the Throat
x2 Smother


---Sideboard (15)---
x4 Sadistic Sacrament
x3 Memoricide
x4 Celestial Purge
x4 Divine Offering


This one kinda looks like a mash between the Myr and Phylactery Lich decks. Suppose if you play with the parts long enough, you'll figure out if they can help in a particular situation or not. The situations aimed for, in this case, are Exarch Combo and Cawblade.

Breakdown:
- Marsh Flats, Prophetic Prism and Terramorphic Expanse: Mana fixing. Purely. Said it before with Liches, but this time I purely want them for Sadistic Sacrament. And my usual bad luck.
- Everflowing Chalice, Leaden Myr, Myr Reservoir, and Palladium Myr: Ramp. The Reservoir is aimed at Myr Battlesphere, but we can't forget the disentomb effect.
- Celestial Purge, Divine Offering, Go for the Throat, Leonin Relic-Warder, and Smother: For getting in the way of Exarch Combo as well as Stoneforge Mystic and her weird collecting hobby.
- Dispense Justice: Mostly aimed at Abyssal Persecutor, but I won't complain about slowing down a Batterskull or Blightsteel Colossus with it.
- Abyssal Persecutor, Baneslayer Angel, Myr Battlesphere, and Sun Titan: Win conditions. Sun Titan particularly enjoys long frolics in Zendikar with the Marsh Flats, Relic-Warder, and Wall of Omens. Strange tastes indeed.
- Memoricide and Sadistic Sacrament: Love these things. A 'Sad Sac' eats all the single artifacts those pesky Quest and Cawblade decks. Memoricide, good against combos. One murders Valakut almost completely.



But yeah, that's it. Shame I only got to test it out at one FNM, and not even against the decks it was aimed for. Afterall, a few of these require the little ramp doing their thing to get the drop on or a little luck to turn up, or so I suspect. Oh well, happens.
