Now, I’m not saying which of these came first – a) Nole’s desire to create a Control deck that totally avoids anything that contains blue, or b) his lengthy partnership with a certain Canadian known for his severe allergic reaction to Islands – but I think we can all agree that this ain’t no coincidence. This deck is also no joke (even if I still can’t quite take Oros, the Avenger seriously); it will beat you in the face like an angry, Mardu-colored monkey jealously guarding its food.
Moral of the story: don’t poke the monkey. Or the Spitemare. Or Nole. Or anyone, really. Just keep your damn hands to yourself, people.
Enjoy.
I told you not to do this. When you get hit with Final Judgment, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Nole’s deck list (complete with commentary):
Commander: Oros, the Avenger
Lands:
33 boring lands (basics, mana fixers, less optimal strip mines. Nobody ever reads this section anyway.)
Mana Rocks:
Equipment Package (‘Cuz Sunforger may be the best Magic card ever printed):
Sunforger (Best thing ever)
Batterskull (Giving Oros Lifelink may be the other best thing ever.)
Basilisk Collar (Deathtouch plus Lifelink…Never mind about Batterskull, giving this to Oros is the second best thing ever)
