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...
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.
I am running quadlaser with the sb Erik suggested in his article. It has been awesome. I love me some dread return, but I have not missed it at all. Thanks for responding to my question about sb for...
Great article! I have come on board the quadlaser train and have not been disappointed. I posted a reply to his article. I don't know if he will ses it now but how do you sideboard vs the mirror...
Intuition is the only card in blue or green that can tutor for food chain and griffin.
I dropped the living wish package to make more sb space. I have not regretted that decision. Having acces to...
I am not running any show and tells. My current list is on the previous page. Our manabases are identical. How have you been liking ancient tombs? Some games I love them and others, I hate them. I...
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...
@skogre: The biggest advantage of manipulate fate over intuition is that it is a four for one for two mana. Intuition is a one for one for three mana, albeit at instant speed. Intuition is a tutor...
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 can't convince you on coiling oracle and cut them myself. They just don't do enough. This deck isn't like food chain elves where you have a critical mass of cantriping creatures. I am currently...
If you want an empath target that can deal with pesky permanents, aethersnipe is the droid you are looking for.
I am not doing big sample sizes of games and they are on mws, but none of the matchups felt horrible. I think the surprise factor of the deck has something to do with it. People are aware the combo...
Tabernacle is a good idea I has not thought of. Witness has been nice for me in long games where I had wished more than once. I needed another aethersnipe in one game and had already wished for one....
I think faerie macabre is the best for the fizzle route for the reasons Holly stated above.
Inquisition of kozilek is the best discard spell vs extractions. Inquisition hits all the hate cards we...
I you wanted to go the counter/fizzle route, you could pack your own surgical extractions. Extract what they target in response to their extraction. You search your library and fail to find any other...
I do not think I need a creature in Kozilek's spot. I added a tundra instead to solidify the manabase and make it more versatile. Coiling oracle seems like the weakest card maindeck, but it does help...
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.
I considered griselbrand as well. I chose...
Spellskite could be an answer to pridemage or artifact/enchantment removal.
Kozilek has been ok when you are not infinite. Ten is much easier to reach than 15. That said, he is the spot I would switch if there was a card I really wanted main.
The eight dorks have been...
Here is my current list...
// Lands
1 [ARC] Island (1)
4 [ZEN] Misty Rainforest
4 [ZEN] Verdant Catacombs
4 [R] Tropical Island
1 [B] Savannah
2 [TE] Ancient Tomb

Stifle is good vs storm, hive mind, and wastelands.
I would consider running your own wastelands. They will improve your stifles and dazes and they can hit opposing wastelands and mazes at times. Be careful with apostle's blessing because if you name...
I think I would play the orb.
If he pops in response, then you still have half the combo with counter backup.
If he lets it resolve, then I would wait till next turn to go off with 3 mana open....
If I get two tops then I just play the 2nd top and tap it before a shuffle to get rid of it. I also like that it is colorless because it is easy to cast and survives all is dust. It also is great at...
