I'm playing an EDH game on another forum and my general is Wort, Goblin Auntie. I played Earwig Squad for the prowl cost which allows me to look through my opponent's deck and exile three cards. Sad to say, I'm new to this format and my opponent's deck (his general is Captain Sisay), so I'm not really sure what three cards to pick. Any suggestions?

His deck:

I can't find his combo, I can't really figure out what his goal is. Maybe he doesn't have one, I'm not sure. He doesn't run Condemn or Congregate while playing white, so his deck might just suck. I don't know what cards your deck can handle, but since you're playing R/B I guess your main weakness are enchantments. Depending on the amount of direct damage in your deck, planeswalkers could be annoying. Do you run Grave pact and similar forced sacrifice effects? If not, make sure to get Akroma and her memorial. And Gaddock Teeg can shut down whole decks (including his own), I think that's the only card that could be bothersome.

On the whole, the deck seems weak. He lacks obvious tutors and sweepers. He doesn't have Glare of subdual... His two Honden's could be annoying if he gets both of them out. Elspeth and/or Garruk could win the game all by themselves. Depending on the amount of direct damage I would take them.

We already played one game and it seems the combo was using the Captain to get a legendary card, having Reki in play to draw a card when casting the legend, using Garruk to untap lands, and getting Akroma, Akroma's Memorial, and getting Rune-Tail and flipping it to prevent dmg to his creatures. He said he only really feared my General since he couldn't do anything about fear, so he had a couple of cards to remove it (like Path to Exile) when I attacked. It was a pretty short game; he got his engine running pretty well and mine not well at all.

So yeah, the two Akromas and Garruk sound like good choices...
