Face it. No one around you plays Darkblast correctly.
Also, when I was discussing the E Tutor sideboard with my friend, we were joking. It sucks.

How odd. On the way back from the tournament this weekend we came up with a similar idea-but it had Solitary Confinement w/Sword of Fire and Ice, and Phyrexian Totem instead of a single Negator. We...
"Well, we don't have Dance Dance Revolution here, so, you're dumb."
I totally didn't make the connection.
"Wow, where do you get your weed?"
"From you, Dante."
"Oh yeah! What's up!"
...
Wait, how so? I'm not saying to take out Dark Rit my any means. I'm just saying with 4 land out, Avenger lets you cast it and Sinkhole on the same turn, where a 4 cmc creature wouldn't. This isn't...
Because Vigilance is that sick. Avenger also allows you to cast 2 spells on turn 4 without a dark rit.
Reason 3? http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=83771
The way I look at it, Jotun Grunt would be probably the last creature to die, given a creature's dieing for each Node to fill is c. upkeep, and he's 4/4. It's completely untested though. As for...
Deathwing: It's not getting 2 white on the table-it's keeping 2 white on the table. An opening hand with Avenger just means you'll probably be getting Scrubland before Swamp with your fetchlands....
So I tried this whole Plague Spitter and Serra Avenger thing.
Spitter kills Confidant. Bad idea in my book. Serra Avenger, however, I've actually liked having a 2/2 split with Nantuko Shade. The...
Taking out Dark Confidant for Spectral Lynx is a bad move. He's your only draw engine. Nuff said.
Probably, if they cant afford Cursed Scrolls, Jittes, or Juzam Djinn.
The really sick part? I was putting my Winter Orbs back in my Revised last night and saw Meekstone, thought "This would be awesome in Deadguy because it shuts off alpha striking with creatures...
Kezzerdrix isn't a bad choice, but Juzam is still the best option at a 5/5 (kills anything short of a Mystic Enforcer). This deck can't afford to run Negator, since there's no burn element to clear a...
I want a threat that goes through Chalice @ 1, Chalice @ 2 in the sideboard.
And a Cursed Scroll that just taps to activate. As well as a less mana-intensive Nantuko Shade.
I'm thinking about...
Honestly, I think this deck lost something when it lost Gerrard's Verdicts-hymns 5 and 6 were just that good IMHO. Not that it would make any matchups better besides combo, but just for the sake of...
I don't think this deck runs enough white period to rely on a Chrome Mox. Lotus Petal would give the same boost and not cost a card in hand.
Tainted Field has really been obsoleted by Godless Shrine, as it's a white source you can search for with fetchlands, and the opening hand of wasteland-field is unkeepable.
The problem I have with...
I'll have to admit, I've had 3 Jotun Grunt in place of Withered Wretch for quite a while. It's huge compared to Wretch-while it comes down the same turn-That's sideboard though-I still run Rotting...
I'd think by the time Graverobber's ability would be useful, they'd have an answer for it-regardless, it wastes their removal on something other than Shade or Grunt(who, in theory, has excellent...
Over Jotun Grunt?
No way. It's double white(which is retarded for a splashed color to attempt), is smaller than Grunt, and has no utility to deny any resource of an opponent's whatsoever. If that...
Indeed they are-it's just my opinion that Negator answers the question you posed. ;)
I hope I answered your question appropriately though. If you have any more questions about state-based effects,...
There is...it's just that no one besides me has the courage to play him.
I'm assuming you mean a Thresholded Bear. Power/toughness attributions are the last applied state based...
Phantom: The reason to run 3 Shades over 4 is because you can rarely keep 2 alive on the board while still disrupting their hand and board. I do agree with you about Dystopia. Infest is my choice...
So the only time Negator was really bad for you was at a misplay-doesn't seem too bad. I think the single Jitte could be even more amazing with the Grunt(as you stated, over Cursed Scroll)-but I'm...
Why Soul Spike over Spinning Darkness, or Kaervek's Spite? 7 is alot of life to pay from Bob, especially when you're getting rid of 2 other cards in your hand to cast it-I'm not going to get into the...
QFT.
I see a whole page dedicated to the fact that I'm testing Negator, when in fact it's one of many solutions to the problem this deck has: lack of a clock.
Jotun Grunt and Rotting Giant are...
