    Re: [Primer] Food Chain Combo

    The only card I play that isn't mentioned in the primer is drift of phantasms. It is tutors for food chain and fierce empath, and can be pitched to force. It is just a one of in my list, but I is...
  2. Re: Wall Combo (silly back up deck for an up coming tournament)

    One eye of ugin would be worth it if you keep crop rotations. One fierce empath would also be worth it if you run green sun's zenith.

    Re: Food Chain Combo

    The point of maniplate fate is that it isn't just a tutor. It is big time card advantage. I have found that 6 copies of food chain (2 drifts) and misthollow (2 manipulates) have been the right amount...

    If you add black, you can tutor for rune-scarred demon to get food chain. Lots of mana though. The build I posted last has been testing very well. Primeval titan could be another target if you just...

    I think faerie macabre is the best for the fizzle route for the reasons Holly stated above.

    Good point. I may test soul of the harvest in kozi's spot. He would be much easier to hardcast than the other options. He draws your deck with misthollow combo.

    Revoker stops pridemage, even if pridemage resolves first. You name pridemage as revoker enters play, so they can't use pridemage on revoker in response.
