Soul Hussies

[FTW]

I wonder how a blue splash and Sky Hussar would affect Modern Soul Sisters. Also, playing deck more centred around interactive hatebears than ways to get out more 1/1s.

Here's a rough starting point.


//Creatures: 33
4 Serra Ascendant
4 Ajani's Pridemate
4 Soul Warden
3 Soul's Attendant
2 Auriok Champion
4 Martyr of Sands
3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
2 Grand Abolisher
3 Sky Hussar
2 Banisher Priest
2 Imposing Sovereign

//Spells: 7
3 Path to Exile
2 Proclamation of Rebirth
2 Detention Sphere

//Lands: 20
11 Plains
3 Cavern of Souls
4 Seachrome Coast
2 Glacial Fortress

//SB: 15
3 Rest in Peace
1 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
1 Grand Abolisher
2 Burrenton Forgetender
2 Linvala, Keeper of Silence
1 Banisher Priest
2 Nevermore
3 Kitchen Finks


The lifegain engine inherently shuts off the Kiki/Twin win condition and should give you good game against aggro. I like hate decks where your core win condition also happens to hate out some of the format. White has access to other efficient synergistic hate tools too. I just picked a few above, but there may be other better ones. In theory, they should help even things out against non-aggro matches.

Advantages of Soul Sisters:

Kiki-Pod/UR Twin -- having enough sisters out completely negates the combo. So does Imposing Sovereign. You can board into Linvala to create more problems. If they have Orzhov Pontiff then you need to kill Pod.

Burn/Scapeshift -- the main lifegain engine puts a huge dent in any deck centred around dealing you a fixed amount of damage. Imposing Sovereign shuts off Spark Elemental/Hellspark Elemental. Forgetenders protect your guys. Finks further pads your life total. Can board into Nevermore on Scapeshift.

Affinity/Zoo/other aggro -- Soul Sisters naturally pad your life total as they crap out dudes. Boarding into more Banisher Priests and Finks should help.

Living End/Melira -- Rest in Peace SB helps (boarding out the 3 Proclamations). Living End will probably wreck you g1 though. Targeted exile removal (Banisher, Path, Detention) should help against Melira pieces. Linvala SB against Pod.

UWR -- Thalia and Grand Abolisher disrupt them from interacting with you. They have big targets on them and will probably get killed but at least help resist them from interacting with you. Sky Hussar cards and Proclamation recursion should help offset getting swept by Supreme Verdict. This matchup would probably be better with Rangers and Squawks.

Storm -- Thalia main already gives you a much better game against Storm than traditional Soul Sisters decks. Soul Sisters themselves seriously crap on EtW. Can side out removal for Rest in Peace, Thalia, Nevermore.

Delver -- Thalia will probably get countered or Bolted right away, but otherwise threatens to really slow down their deck. Thalia, Abolisher and Caverns disrupt their counters plan. Young Pyromancer looks worse when you gain life from the tokens. Only spot removal, lack of sweepers, looks bad against a bunch of white dorks.
