I prefer Darkblast because it is cheaper and more easily reusable. It is also immune to the anti-equipment cards Deadguy sees in Game 2 (or goddamn stifle on germ trigger) and doesn't mind being...
So hypothetically, what about a list that looks something like this?
4x Dark Confidant
4x Stoneforge Mystic
3x Serra Avenger
2x Mirran Crusader
4x Vindicate
4x Hymn to Tourach
4x Duress
What's wrong with Aether Vial? Is Misstep really that bad? I run Serra Avenger, but I don't see how she's especially good against Zoo. I'm still in the camp of trying to untap with Mother of Runes...
The slot that I dedicate to Zoo is generally 3 Perish. It also helps against decks that rely on green creatures primarily, and Progenitus (see: NO Bant etc). I'm honestly not convinced that Phyrexian...
Having more removal helps (and having 4 Gatekeepers makes B/U Reanimator and N.O. decks pretty much a bye), but keeping the 1CMC card count high enough makes sure the StP matters. If I know you're...
I got 45th place going 5-4.
Funyun45 has it right; I think that the acceleration that Mox offers is not consistently good enough to offset the card disadvantage. I'd imagine that Tim the...
Hey everyone. I just got back from Gen Con having piloted a Deadguy list into Top 64. These are some of the things that I learned about the deck:
I much prefer the creature-heavy version of...
Have people given up on Oblivion Ring? I haven't seen much of it in sideboards these days. As for Perish v Retribution of the Meek, I'm definitely going to be weighing their usefulness in the...
IMO Engineered Plague is useless. There are just better options. Deadguy has a positive matchup against Fish, Ghostly Prison does a similar job (if not better) against Goblins and Zombie tokens, etc....
Tim, could you answer my earlier question about SoBM in all builds of Deadguy? Do you think a more creature-heavy version would benefit as much from SoBM as your more token-oriented build? During...
I'm a little skeptical about SoBM being the only sword needed main, at least as a sweeping claim. Maybe a build with less creatures (~10-12) that uses BB and Elspeth would like it because of the...
Oh, I agree. I'm saying I'd play Obliterator (probably cutting Mirran, actually) as an alternative win condition in an environment where I believe there'll be an abnormal amount of equipment hate...
If the deck can play either, I prefer Obliterator to Percy any day. Both put the player on at least a 4 turn clock (from 20), Percy has flying but Obliterator reads as unblockable unless your...
Some aren't a fan of him but Jotun Grunt sweeps the dead artifacts under to be tutored again, is a solid body against Zoo, and is mainboard GY hate.
Did you find that your non-token creatures were thrwarted without MoR? Did you face Zoo? What inspired the 2-of Tidehollow? And did the 1 Diabolic Edict ever come up?
I've seen a few lists with Kitchen Finks; I'm assuming they run it in a slot where they'd normally run Mirran Crusader or maybe Vindicate. I don't see the advantage of running it over MC besides...
I usually run some 10-card collection of Hymn/Duress/IoK, which with Revoker makes my Combo/Control matchups just fine. I think a lot of Deadguy players do this. Chains is a nice alternative, though....
At two-of, and considering the amount of discard and fetches he runs (let alone SOBAM) I think Jotun Grunt is a fine choice. This is the most approprite list for him I've seen, honestly.
With all...
Re: Rizso
Thanks for your comments. One question: Can you explain a little how the list tries to do too many things rather than 1 or 2? In the design I was going for the deck playing like Deadguy...
Hey guys, I'm looking for a little more feedback on my list please:
Creatures
4 Dark Confidant
4 Mother of Runes
3 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Tidehollow Sculler
4 Vampire Hexmage
Cool. I'll definitely give that a shot. Since you used to run this deck, do you mind posting what your sideboard was? I know it's meta-dependent, but I need some general ideas for grave hate, combo...
As long as I've been playing Deadguy, there's something I've always wanted to try, if you all can humor me:
Creatures
4 Dark Confidant
4 Mother of Runes
2 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Tidehollow...
Oh definitely. Serra Avenger has been a house for this deck. I rarely see a build without 4; mine sure has a playset. I thought we were discussing whether the deck would rather use Jotun Grunt, Goyf,...
Jotun Grunt is generally removed before his upkeep becomes unaffordable; not a lot of decks want to stare down a 4/4, especially if an equipment is waiting to be attached to it. Besides, he's a...
Why the copy of Runed Halo in the SB, out of curiosity? I understand its general merit, but what specific matchup does it shine in?
