It's actually been really interesting to see these lists develop over time. Most of the lists I've seen start with a bunch of spot removal and whatnot for creatures and other permanents, but...

For the most part, I agree with Zombies here.

If I had more money to throw into the deck, I'd consider Bazaar and Tabernacle, but only getting the deck fully black-bordered. The cute thing with...

Honestly, I'm just too braindead to identify which pieces are essential to combos. This has sort of inspired me to build a deck that's just trying to use Saffi to get value out of all kinds of ETB...

The previously discussed Retainers is an infinite loop with saffi.

Pattern of Rebirth seems really good. Sac Saffi targeting something irrelevant, get Loyal Retainers. Or get Twilight Shepherd,...

@ aggro_Zombies: I posted an updated list over on mtgcommander, since more discussion seems to happen there.

For anyone else, here's the link

Honestly, I've got to disagree. Some of them are pretty terrible without more creatures, and some just aren't that good, but you asked for suggestions. There are a few in there that I'm pretty sure...

How about the Survival of the Fittest style package?

Survival of the Fittest
Fauna Shaman
Oversold Cemetery
Oath of Ghouls
Genesis


I really like cards like Nim Deathmantle with sac...

there are two things that jump out at me as things that have significantly improved gameplay with most groups that I've played with. First is house bans. If a card is warping your metagame, and is...

So, this seems like a fun idea. Here's my take on a Library of Alexandria deck that isn't blue-based. It's also a mishmash of pet decks that aren't very good, but it seems like an interesting idea,...

No, he means greater good.

1) Cast Emrakul
2) Take extra turn, beat down
3) Sac to Greater good
4) Emrakul + Graveyard Shuffles in
5) Tutor up emrakul with Survival
6) Repeat

What do you think of Grove of the Burnwillows/Punishing Fire in this deck? It might let you cut down a bit on the Magma Jets/1cc Removal, and it seems like it's a huge beating for creature decks,...

I would run Hall of the Bandit Lord and Minamo, School and Waters' Edge.

I'd always be afraid to run out Niv without way to win the game on the spot. Hall is like lightning greaves, in that...

Nim Deathmantle is something I've been recommending to everyone. The card is nuts, especially with Martyr of Sands in your deck. Worst case, it's a way to rebuy either Linvala or Iona after one of...

Changes:

-Reveillark
-Cloudstone Curio
-Reliquary Tower
-Mystifying Maze
-Bant Charm
-Swords to Plowshares
-Dark Tutelage
-Dark Confidant

Land's Edge is a second copy of Seismic Assault. It's a little less color intensive, though a little risky.

Bubbling Muck + Urborg gives you ways to generate large quantities of mana in a single...

It's not much, but you could add a Snow-Covered Swamp to up the swamp count without messing with Tainted Pact.

There was a similar list being discussed for awhile on MTGSal, let me see if I can...

That's fair enough. I've started making a number of changes to the list, I'll edit in a new list sometime tomorrow.

What do you think are the best draw engines for the deck? I'm probably cutting...

I don't run wasteland because I don't want another effect like that. Strip mine is just better, and I picked Ghost Quarter for two reasons. Firstly, my group HATES land destruction, so I draw less...

It's really pretty interesting that a similar concept can have such divergent results.


Which worldwake manlands have been doing the best for you? I'm okay with adding one or two of them, but I...

This is the deck I've been working on a lot recently, and I've been pretty happy with it. I'm hoping to get a few suggestions for cuts/additions to tighten the list up a little more. I'll give the...

Vesuva is insane in EVERY deck I put it in. It copies Hideaway lands, utility lands, and Thawing Glaciers for all kinds of sweet plays.


My metagame is comprised of a lot of token decks and...

Hall of the Bandit Lord to give stonebrow haste?

I can understand you not wanting to run Yosei/Ranger. That's just my personal preference. With your non-basics ramping you up/generating card advantage for you, I feel like having an active...

From the recent GP:

Brainstorm
Cloud of Faeries
Shelldock Isle
Emrakul
Solitary Confinement/Shared Fate to stop you from decking.

I had a 5 color tap out control list on this forum somewhere. I'll try to dig it up in case you'd like to look at it. It's been a blast to play, though people do tend to get a little tired of it...
