Deck for States, Arena...any comments or sugestions are appreciated.

[Rando]

Looking for any ideas for both the deck and the sideboard. Thus far, I've beaten all deck types I've tested against...not all the time, but at least I don't get thrashed by any one deck type. After side-boarding, a lot of the would-be-tougher match ups are down right easy. I think Black/White is better then a lot of people think. I was also considering taking out one Arena and one land and putting the 2 Echos main-deck, as they can be very usefull against anything using the green token generators, like the new G/R stompy designs, and Elephant/Opp.

2 Desolation Angel
4 Voice of All
4 Spectral Lynx

4 Duress
4 Gerard's Verdict

4 Vindicate
4 Wrath of God
4 Death Grasp

4 Phyrexian Arena

3 Cabal Pit
4 Cave of Koilos
4 Dromar's Carven
8 Swamp
7 Plains

Sideboard
4 Disenchant
4 Route
4 Reprisal
2 Haunting Echos
1 Cabal Pit

Looks good Rando. I sometimes wonder if people aren't deliberately misleading about the metagame. While everyone says R/G is the deck to beat I think there are a lot of viable options for people.

Way too many of those for my liking. Two are good enough.

Maybe:
-1 Wrath of God
+1 Rout
Without counter magic for back up, this might help get rid of Irredescent or Serra Angel. Also, in response to Opposition tapping your stuff at the beggining of your upkeep.

Otherwise, it loooks good!

Good Luck!!!

I think 4 Lairs is a bit much for a competitive deck:
-2 Dromar's Cavern
+2 Plains

Sideboard

Against control, Yawgmoth's Agenda would be nice:
-1 Rout
+1 Yawgmoth's Agenda

Since you're putting in the Haunting Echoes main deck:
-2 Haunting Echoes
-1 Cabal Pit
+3 Addle/Persecute

Happy Gaming!
