Topic: [Standard] G/u Devotion Competitive
So I've been playing this fringe deck which evolved out of me playing G/b devotion with Doomwake Giant and noticing that both spot removal and especially board wipes just ended up being back breaking. Killing my devotion which is a key advantage to playing a deck like G/b Devotion was easy for most of the other standard decks in the metagame.
So I turned to Blue with counter magic, now that Supreme Verdict is gone the board wipes are all able to be countered.
With Blue I also tap into the power that is Prophet of Kruphix.
I've been playing this deck and tweaking it for a bit at a Grand Prix (early) at my LGS and a couple of SCG IQ. I've had mixed variety of success but totally bombed at the GP with the early iterations of the deck but as I've tuned it to the current version I've seen some success. Was one game away from Top 8 at the most recent IQ in my area and I probably lost on a bad keep in game 2.
Anyway, here is the deck http://deckbox.org/sets/853425 as I'm planning to play it next. Open to suggestions. Basically once I've got devotion Nykthos online with Prophet and counter magic in hand the whole game seems unfair to my opponent. Bident and Hornet Queen are just unfair for card advantage or killing all their dudes and clearing the way for polukranos and/or Arbor Colossus.
Would love to hear the deckbox.org community thoughts on what I've been playing and working on. BTW Aetherspouts is a new addition to the sideboard and hasn't been played or even tested yet.
