jfc this must be done

Just came here to say that this list sucks. It's like... at least 1 maybe 2 cards different than what I would play in the maindeck. Geez, get with the times. Like, what year is it, 2015? (I keed! <3...

This is the last known one from JBlinder a while back:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KzQj8YO2Nd5MZDfQ_2K63VNGVXUk84Fn

I'm sure a few specific card choices have changed since then, but...

Oh derp, I missed that. Whoops!

Nice writeup. I find Ancient Grudge to be interesting - do you think being able to board it in as an Entomb target outweighs something like Meltdown that you can wish for?

I also agree on the...

How has Mastermind's Acquisition been without running the Cabal Rituals that Bizarro Stormy does?

Yeah, I think I was just being stupid and forgot that you had to discard any shallow graves in your hand, as you have an empty hand when Emrakul's trigger goes on the stack. Ignore that sentence -...

Old old old builds (Richard Cheese and mine from 2012) didn't have Emrakul - I think they were objectively worse. Emrakul opens up a lot of options, regardless as to whether you're running Goryo's...

Since Brutality was printed, Tendrils of Agony is not needed. You can go infinite with Brutality just like you would with tendrils, but it does so many more things. The time of Tendrils for this deck...

Could easily go up to 8 discard spells: 4 Unmask, 4 Thoughtseize, and supplement the loss of Probe with 1-2 Lim-Dul's Vault.

Maybe this:

4 Griselbrand
1 Emrakul
1 Children of Korlis

4...

Wow, nice write up!

I really like the idea of Night's Whisper in your list. Without the blue cantrip suite, it's probably the next best thing, and will help you against discard people will tend to bring in against you....

Yeah, that's a fair point. If you're running Exhume, LED should 100% be included. And if you're running Wishes of any sort, then it needs to be a 4 of. Your reasoning is solid and I agree. If Silent...

Exhume isn't the worst - although that card might actually want to push back towards Chrome Mox. Since you won't be able to draw as many cards, you'll have a harder time finding an IMS when combo-ing...

Wow, great finish! Sucks about the sleeves and the deck reg. :( Way to represent our lord and savior! Love me some Mentor and Bob in this deck... :D

Funny, that card is cool. Richard Cheese and I tested that around 2012 or so. It's... almost good. I found the biggest bottleneck when comboing with Tin Fins is usually initial mana sources, not...

Yeah, I've definitely won more than 1 game by reanimating a tarmogoyf or something.

Confirmation Bias can be very real. :) But what you describe is one reason when ran more Reanimates as well in later lists. Think the last time I played the deck, I was on 4 Shallow Grave, 3...

Sure, in this deck or the BG version I can see that. I don't like Exhume in Bizarro stormy though, as you really really want Magus of the Mind to have haste.

Try Corpse Dance in the older lists! I've never tested it there, myself, but seems like a reasonable substitute on a budget. As someone else mentioned, you can't make Griselbrand off of a dark ritual...

riiiiight i keep forgetting you guys aren't in blue. whoops, my bad

Yeah, that's similar to what we did in Bizarro Stormy. I think if you're playing LED's, it makes a lot of sense to have a PIF as an Entomb target. It's a 7 mana storm line, just like Infernal Tutor...

Yeah, I don't think I would cut Probe for Bauble. That card is way too good. But, I could see going to 3 Griselbrand for 1 Bauble. You're probably right though, that going down to less makes...

Cool list! Love me some Doomsday transformations (obviously). What do you think about a 1/1 split of Conjurer's Bauble and Edge of Autumn? Bauble has some really cool applications in Doomsday piles,...

Soooooo for those interested in any of the Magus of the Mind shenanigans we were talking about... new thread is posted in N&D here:
