The background is very boring for this deck so ill just start with the list.
4 Myr enforcer
4 Frogmite
4 Thoughtcast
4 Archbound ravager
4 Somber hover guard
4 Smokestack
4 Chalice of the void
3 Trinisphere
3 Crucible
4 Ancient tomb
4 wasteland
4 Mox diamond
4 City of traitors
3 Island
4 seat of synod
4 Darksteel Citidel
The deck has been working realy well for me lately, but it seems to be lacking a little oomph that some of the other decks have. The deck has a bad aggro matchup, probably because it lacks the mass taxing/removal that other stax decks have. But in turn the deck is more explosive... playing lock pieces and win cons on the same turn. This gives it a slightly better control matchup. Also the deck is better then normal in the mirror. The only major problem i have been having with the deck is the disynergy between trinisphere and the affinity cards. i was thinking that sphere of thorn might be better here. Thorn is better with the affinity creatures, but is less effective aginst aggro-control, the decks weaker matchup so i guess sphere would be better. Some other options are tanglewire and propaganda. What im looking to do is get the numbers right for this deck and get the right lock pieces.
Thoughts?
