Orzhov Humans gets access to the best removal spell in the format in Dire Tactics, alongside a powerful swarm/drain strategy and a great anthem. It’s packed full of 3 mana Enchantments, but they’re all extremely powerful and your opponents are going to be in for a rough time once you set a couple of them up… I suspect this deck will excel against any deck that tries to attack on the ground, having infinite blockers and lifegain in Cruel Celebrant and Bastion of Remembrance.
Glad it played well for you! I wasn’t altogether sure about this one when building it, but I did think the combination of great removal and lots of drains had potential. Were there any changes you would’ve made, any cards you felt were underperforming?
I ran up against a mill/discard deck and had really bad luck (Not the deck’s fault) with land draw and was crushed, but I happened to get rematched against the same exact player and rolled through board control which was really satisfying. I felt like in most matches there was enough removal and chip damage for early game, and then I’d have a wave of low cost humans swinging.
Are you guys going to do Pauper recommendations for FNM? I really appreciate them.
This deck was a blast! I kept playing long after my 1st two wins on FNM at home.
