Necra anyone?

[FoundationOfRancor]

Ok-This is my stab at a Black-Green-White control deck in Type II-Post AP. Now, this deck splashes white for disenchants and Vindicates, green the new disk and SpiritMonger, and black for the kill; Necra Sanctuary. The goal is to hold them off long enough with Spectral Lynx/Vine trellis and Disk/Vindicate untill Necra brings them down real low. Then a simple SpiritMonger can finish the job, or just let the Necra do it. The point of the Dega sancts are for the 2 life gain per turn. There are 8 painlands in here, and hopefully that will make it up. A possible replacment for the Dega would be Heroes Renuion and/or Gerrards Wisdom. What do you guys think?

White (8)
3 Spectral Lynx
2 Dega Sanctuary
3 Disenchant

Green (8)
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Vine Trellis

Black (6)
4 Necra Sancturary
2 Wall of Bone

Gold (14)
4 Vindicate (W-B)
4 Pernicious Deed (G-B)
4 Gerrards Verdict (W-B)
2 SpiritMonger (G-B)

Land (24)
4 Llanowar Wastes
4 Caves of Koilos
4 Elfhame Palace
6 Forest
4 Plains
2 Swamp

How about Necra with the chezzy new combo.


4 Sterling Grove
4 Necra Sanctuary
4 Seal of Cleansing
4 Wrath of God
4 Duress
4 Pernicious Deed
4 Vindicate
4 Rampant Growth
4 open slots(maybe that B/W damage-gain life card)
10 Forests
6 Plains
4 Swamps
4 Caves of Koilos


I know, it uses a_lot_of bad cards and its an auto loss to
some decks but it looked amusing.

The Dega Sanctuary is only going to gain you 1 life per upkeep (1 life for black or red creature), not enough to warrant putting it in your deck. Caveman's suggestion for using Death Grasp (? XWB Drain Life) is a good one, that card is seriously solid. Or you can use that new Overgrown Estates (3 life Zuran Orb). Or if you don't like those options for life a double-kicked Necravolver has spirit link and trample.

I would really recommend Charging Troll to back up your Necra Sactuary: not only is it GW but it has very cheap regen, so his chances of survival are good.

Well, I was going to write an article on breaking Necra Sanctuary, but oh well:

Black:
4 Duress
4 Necra Sanctuary
1 Nether Spirit
1 Yawgmoth's Agenda

White:
3 Seal of Cleansing
4 Wrath of God
1 Mageta the Lion
1 Rout
1 Story Circle

Green:
1 Elfhame Sanctuary

Gold:
4 Sterling Groove
3 Vidicate
1 Overgrown Estate
1 Pernicious Deed

Artifacts:
3 Tsabo's Web
3 Ensnaring Bridge

Lands(still in process):
4 City of Brass
3 Elfhame Palace
2 Llanowar Wastes
2 Caves of Koilos
2 Forest
7 Plains
4 Swamps

Something like that...

I seriously considered putting Charging Troll, but I put in Wall of Bone instead...

I think Superguys version is very good, heres my take on it though:

Black:
4 Duress
4 Necra Sanctuary
1 Nether Spirit
1 Yawgmoth's Agenda

White:
3 Seal of Cleansing
4 Wrath of God

Green:
1 Elfhame Sanctuary

Gold:
4 Sterling Groove
3 Vindicate
4 Gerrards Verdict
1 Overgrown Estate
3 Pernicious Deed

Artifacts:
2 Tsabo's Web
2 Ensnaring Bridge

Lands(still in process):
4 City of Brass
3 Elfhame Palace
2 Llanowar Wastes
2 Caves of Koilos
2 Forest
7 Plains
4 Swamps


And actually, the Dega Sanctuary gives you TWO life per turn, so I think its worth looking into in terms of covering the painland dmg.

Wow, I didn't realize the sanctuaries run off of permanents!, I thought they work off of creatures only. How are these things not rare? Some of them I can understand, but the Necra Sanctuary is unbelievable, and only 2B.

You could run Rituals in here for:
Turn one: Lanowar Waste, Ritual, Sanctuary
Turn two: White producing land, Sterling Grove
Turn three: Whatever you want, start Vindicating lands or something.

That is a dangerous and very possible soft-lock.
