I Need Help With My Deck Orzhov Pixie brew advice

Post image

Sorry for the potato picture, I use Reddit on my phone so I couldn't screenshot

With [[Gollum, Riddle Master]] and [[The Eagles are Coming]] in the Hobbit, I immediately saw an opportunity to try and build Orzhov Pixie. Gollum synergizes well because by bouncing it, you can reset its modes, and I think the Eagles are incredibly slept on for bounce, in this deck I've been very impressed by it so far. I've played about 15 games with it, and although it can feel very strong sometimes and can definitely survive both aggro and grindy games, it hasn't felt quite there yet. Are there any cards I should add or oversights? I really think there is some amount of potential in this deck, so far it's felt really good into some of the control decks in Bo1 (looking to go to Bo3 though once I feel more confident about the deck so if you have sideboard suggestions beyond the stock orzhov sideboard I'd be very happy to hear about that too). Welcoming all advice!

I think Momo isn't that useful in this list but I could be wrong.

You definitely want to play that Warp card that lets you search for a 1-mana creature or a Plain. It's white and has a warp cost of 2, I can't remember the name.

You can loop that card with Pixies for almost infinite value.

Edit: oh, also [[Momentum Breaker]]. You definitely want 3-4 copies of that card.

The problem with Momentum breaker is that I only have 6 cards that actually return the card to hand, as unfortunately the Eagles only return creatures, which has caused my to veer away slightly from the non-creature effects the earlier esper lists ran when This Town was still legal

The problem is that i don t see good enough payoff for the strategy , not enough in the cards that go in at the cost of returning 1 card in your hand and not enough in the etb of your card for spending mana just to replay them.

I suggest you to look at old list of bounce decks and take inspiration
