Who haven't you seen in ages?! Me! I'm showing up for this one. I'll have cards to sell as usual!

There will be several people of awesomeness in attendance.

I personally would prefer reclamation over harvest. I also like haunted crossroads, especially if you can get either one working with your evoke creatures or krosan tusker. If you want to run trygon...

Trygon Predator seems to be missing from your list ;-)
I also found from my playing of normal skittles that aether mutation is pretty snazzy. I also liked running a decent amount of life gain like...

23 land and dark ritual seems excessive. If you are losing to jace, why not run duress? With the aggro build you have here dropping the 3 wasteland for 3 duress seems like a good trade. Also, you...

Has anyone played with Nevinyrral's Disk in the sb with any success recently? I think I may run 2/3 since they kill aggro and affinity pretty well. It is fairly slow, but damn powerful

Just to make a point, all of the discard we run (especially if you run therapy along with duress) that once you see what is in their hand wasteland can cut them off of whatever color they need....

I like:

3 hydroblast
2 umezawa's jitte
2 Llawan
3 spell pierce
3 submerge
2 relic of progenitus

Taking that some of the lists I see here are dropping bitterblossom. I could see therapy becoming much weaker without bitterblossom. I still see bitterblossom as a very strong card for this deck

I'm intending on keeping with nonLED and playing the sphinx/zealot kill again. If you are going to win, win fast before they can gain positive board position. What we can hope for game 1 is to go as...

Yeah, it can fizzle. But the big upside of therapy is you can whiff once and then rip multiple copies from their hand afterwards.

I see several people dropping cabal therapy, this is a very powerful card especially if you educate yourself with decks that you will be facing. I may be more partial to the card than some since...

Apology for the double post, but I'd like to address this.

I think some are taking a more aggro approach with the deck. A lot of these newer builds are more mono black aggro(suicide-esque). I...

They printed Nightmare Lash back in Mirrodin and we weren't running it and the equip cost is 1 life less for nightmare lash. I would assume you would almost always want to cast and equip the same...

@slypher: I would take that obliterator/persecutor statement as a matter of opinion, not fact. I personally do not like the BBBB casting cost, since I think its a pretty big mistake not to run...

I took some time away from this deck and am starting to pick it up again. My list is pretty much the same as it was months ago when I was actively testing this deck. Bant and rock are picking up in...

Unless you are facing merfolk all the time I wouldn't concern myself with maindecking fiestorm. Aside from merfolk I don't see many decks gaining that much ground against us if they maindeck mm. And...

Not to just be a nay-sayer but that seems pretty bad. Not running 4 breakthrough when the rest of the deck seems streamlined to win fast seems pretty poor. Also, forbidden orchard? If you aren't...

Truth. MM is going to be a larger issue in decks that run other counters, although even against merfolk running 4 fow, 4 daze, 4 MM running less 1 cc outlets isn't going to help you.

You don't. But even before mm was printed sticking a permanent discard outlet is more important than the speed of LED. LED lists forgo tribe for the speed of LED. Tribe is going to win you more games...

Most if not all LED lists run LED in place of tribe. Against merfolk, this decreases your turn 1 win percentage, maybe not by huge amounts, but it does. Winning game 1 is the big benefit of this...

The LED version is much worse against merfolk which will indeed pick up popularity will mm in the picture.

How do you use breakthrough wrong? If you have any dredger in the grave you will want to cast it if you want to win quick. If you don't see another dredger in those top 4-6 cards it whiffs. It can...

I don't believe you can actually protect your mutavault with an effect that makes it into another land type. It is still a non basic land on top of it being a whatever land type it gets changed to....

I can probably count on 1 hand out of hundreds of games that I actually cast breakthrough and it won me games without running the speed kill. True that is an amazing accelerant, but breakthrough is...
