Don't run cancel. Disallow is strictly better.

[Chaosix]

Don't run cancel. Disallow is strictly better.

Jesus i completely forgot that was a card. Will Replace.

It seems this deck wants to be playing a control game, stabilizing with archfiend of ifnir and pulling the win with Drake haven.

 

This makes shadowstorm vizier a little extraneous, at least in my eyes.

 

Have you considered adding red? Both Sweltering Suns and Cut//Ribbons are insanely good.

 

Shadow of the grave isn't going to make it here. It really isn't worth it unless you have New perspectives online. Considering the cost in cycling each card, getting them back only to have to pay said cost again isn't worth the trouble.

yea I feel like you need red to play control in standard right now. Magma spray, Harnessed lightning and sweltering sun are all great cards in this meta. Also, you want gearhulks. You don't need a playset of them but at least 1 mainboard will make this deck so much better. Oh and pull from tomorrow. Its a sphinx rev lite and gives you endless amounts of late game gas.
