Premodern archetypes that play Decree of Justice
- Landstill: Cycle it for {2}{W} at the end of the opponent's turn and pay {X} more for X 1/1 Soldiers; you also draw a card. Cycling and its trigger are abilities, so Counterspell cannot stop them and Standstill does not trigger, though Stifle can counter the trigger. Cast for {X}{X}{2}{W}{W}, it makes X 4/4 flying Angels, but then it is a spell that can be countered and breaks Standstill.
- Tron: In every list, almost always four copies. Cycling it costs {2}{W} plus X and makes X 1/1 Soldiers at instant speed; it is an ability, so Mana Leak and Prohibit cannot counter it, and only Stifle stops the trigger. Hard-cast, it makes X 4/4 flying Angels, but that costs twice X plus four, is a sorcery and can be countered.
- BW Control: The best threat in the deck, because it never has to be cast. Cycle it for {2}{W} in the opponent's end step: you draw a card, and the cycling trigger lets you pay X for X 1/1 Soldiers. Both are abilities, so Counterspell, Mana Leak and Standstill do nothing; Stifle can counter the Soldiers, but you still draw. Cast as a sorcery it costs {X}{X}{2}{W}{W}: three 4/4 flying Angels for ten mana.
