Haakon + Nameless Inversion anybody?
Umm no, I see no 1-ofs in that list. What are you looking at?
I'll take "Most of" to mean > 50%. Here's the ones that see heavy play:
SFM
SCM
CB
Thalia
Hymn
Goyf
Pridemage
Right when I started I traded Clockwork Dragon for a Necropotence, a Time Walk, and a Yawgmoth's Will.
Granted, the guy actually was knowleadgeable and just traded them to me for a day so I could...
I'm of the opinion that a manland plan is actually a pretty good idea in this deck. The reason being that if a deck like this wants to succeed it has to be tuned against creature strategies...
I would not play manaless dredge when Rest in Piece is in the meta.
If your deck has a bad mu vs. miracles, try Remand.
How does this deck fare against anything not control? I can't really see it winning vs. aggro or combo...
Shackles is terrible vs. Teeg. Sure, you've got their dude, but it's a 5 mana 2/2. You still can't combo.
Is anyone trying out Stax-like permanents in this deck? I feel like that could be a route.
Why no Energy Field?
Re: discard vs. countermagic
I find that discard is much more effective than countermagic in the early game. That is to say, discard is very good at removing things proactively which allows the game...
Yeah, in testing I've found
Ideas Unbound
Seismic Assault
Life from the Loam
Lotus Cobra
Manamorphose
Prismatic Omen
to be the best shell. Idk, going combo is a really hard route and the...
I wasn't really suggesting Timetwister for storm. Even then, I don't think it's played all that much. I like that it is gy hate, tutor hate, and a CA engine all wrapped up into one. It seems good in...
Yeah, I'm trying it out with Summer Bloom. It can be fairly explosive, but it requires a lot of tuning/balls to be any good.
Thanks for the input.
Yeah, I'd agree with your assessment of Strip Mine, dredge totally skipped my mind. Dustbowl is also a good way to kill shops and academies. If you exhaust your resources, at...
Except why would you run Shaman as a 4-of unless you wanted 8x Noble Hierarch. Shaman is not going to be > 1 of.
Why strip mine over dust bowl? I realize bowl is more mana intensive but you probably won't nuke their lands if you don't have mana for your spells.
If you do run strip mine at least cut the...
Yeah, after some serious testing I'm finding that RIP doesn't really work all too well as a four-of. Your mini combo RIPfield actually hoses tribal pretty well. Another combo with RIP is misthollow...
If you think about the MU's where you get 7 cards in hand, they're landstill and draw7.dec
And considering the nature of the two MU's, I'd say it would really only play a role against landstill. So...
Yes, and?
That's a three card four mana combo if you're saying it's overpowered. I think that Cire's list is actually beautiful. Paincast is basically the only way wizards is going to let red, the...
Ok, here are a couple cards that don't see much play for a reason unknown to me:
Demonic Consultation
Ok, I know it isn't incredible for toolbox decks with a lot of 1-ofs, but I imagine it could...
BWish for Wheel of Fortune? Show and Tell? Honestly I can't see the utility when Demonic Consultation isn't really played.
Also, let's not forget that it seems every keyword people were excited about vanished. There are no good gate cards (<- this guy wanted them).
So, is this getting started?
I'm planning on splashing blue. I know I know, it's a bad idea. But when I'm done brewing, you'll see why. (Energy Field is a big reason)
Does RIP + Energy Field work? If so, I'm building it.
Oh holy crap. It works with Helm of Obedience too.
:) This is my favorite card in all of magic now.
Yeah, I'm not sure what you all see in Rakdos. He's a beater for four, which means you really want to play him at the top of your curve and not later. It'll be harder and harder for your...
