Avacyn Restored Event Deck Lists

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another edition of the emporium, in today's edition i'll be talking about the Avacyn Restored deck lists which were spoiled via Wizards of the Coast, as per the norm with the lists i'll be talking about the money cards in each build and perhaps what to expect as a whole, so without further ado let's begin.

Humanity's Vengeance - Blue/White


Lands


2 Glacial Fortress
1 Moorland Haunt
9 Island
12 Plains

Spells


2 Dismember
1 Divine Deflection
2 Mental Misstep
3 Oblivion Ring
3 Righteous Blow

Creatures


1 Blade Splicer
4 Fiend Hunter
4 Gideon's Lawkeeper
1 Mirran Crusader
3 Nearheath Pilgrim
2 Nephalia Smuggler
1 Phyrexian Metamorph
4 Porcelain Legionnaire
3 Tandem Lookout
2 Wingcrafter

Sideboard


3 Cathedral Sanctifier
2 Cloudshift
2 Inquisitor Exarch
4 Mana Leak
3 Negate
1 Pacifism

So it appears with this first list we have 4 good rares to look forward to in here, 2 Glacial Fortress, A single copy of both Mirran Crusader and Phyrexian Metamorph since those are the highest value in the decks, with the metamorph being about 7 to 8 dollars these days, roughly but my question is if there are more then enough humans in Innistrad to warrant this deck, why aren't they in here, instead we have a bunch of Phyrexian's and Mirrans fighting along side each other, with stuff like Tandem Lookout which grants the ability to draw a card each time damage is dealt, strange list but moving on, here is the 2nd list which is called Death's Encroach.

Death's Encroach - Mono Black


Lands


24 Swamp

Spells


3 Altar's Reap
3 Despise
2 Dismember
2 Doom Blade
3 Go for the Throat
2 Lashwrithe

Creatures


1 Cemetery Reaper
2 Crypt Creeper
4 Diregraf Ghoul
1 Geralf's Messenger
3 Ghoulraiser
1 Gloom Surgeon
1 Gravecrawler
4 Highborn Ghoul
4 Skinrender

Sideboard


2 Appetite for Brains
2 Crypt Creeper
3 Deathmark
1 Despise
2 Distress
1 Ghoulraiser
1 Surgical Extraction
3 Triumph of Cruelty

Ok so this list is much better honestly, you have both a copy of Gravecrawler and Geralf's Messenger which are both part of the highly popular Blue/Black zombies build, as well as a Surgical Extraction, 2 Lashwrithe and 7 pieces of removal inside the main deck. The real money cards as i said are the Crawler, the Messenger and the Extraction in this deck, each one pretty much pays for the entire thing as a whole, plus what's so bad about 24 extra swamp, just replace them with Zendikar swamps and you are golden, overall i'm more impressed with the mono black list then i am the Blue/White list but i'm going to defintely pick up both as soon as i can get my hands on them and give them a once over as well as a few other things, but for now this is vergil signing off.
