Interesting on Tendrils. I haven't missed playing without it, but I haven't used it in so long that I can't really judge whether I would've been better off at some point with it in the deck. You...

I like it! I'll never play with MD Tendrils again, myself. Half of the time, a pre-attack Entomb -> Shallow Grave will let you attack with Griz and Emrakul for lethal, and the other half, you find...

Sorry, I guess I should've clarified, but I'm quite familiar with Tin Fins and was just wondering why exactly that tech didn't fit in at all here. You did answer my question pretty well though. But...

I'm new to this deck, so this might be a stupid question, but has anyone tried Children of Korlis as a target? The main drawback is that it's obviously no good on its own, but I see decks running...

I mostly agree with this. I goldfished a good amount yesterday with Gemstone Caverns in place of some lands and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. However, I don't like having to choose...

Unlike the other builds I've posted here, this one comes in with zero testing. However, it struck me that since the combo doesn't take up too many cards in the deck at a minimum, a "Young...

Good to know. I wasn't very sure at all, which is why I phrased my comment that way. I guess if you fear Extraction or saw one in their hand you'd have to play around it somehow, but with Brainstorm...

What? How is Pack Rat a win-con?

Ooh, good question. I think that once Doomsday resolves, you won't have any cards in the yard for the opponent to mess with, so at least with Shelldock, I think it'd be hard to mess with via Surgical...

You can't hardcast her mid-loop, if that's what you're trying to do. Probably the closest thing to what you want is to have Intuition, which can grab your three other Entombs and give you one of...

No need for that. When people say stuff like "there's no other two card instant win in the format," well, they deserve to be informed that Tin Fins is a deck. And to us competitive players, it's...

This seems to work to me. But it's a non-issue anyway, because you can just draw most of your deck and make a lot of mana and then Entomb something other than Dragon (like, say, Oona), play a Cabal...

At this point I'm torn between two versions of the deck. One has Baleful Strix, Gitaxian Probe, and Cabal Therapy. All I have been doing is goldfishing, but Strix seems great. It blocks almost...

Not sure why it matters. You draw your deck and get at least what, 40 mana? Break the infinite combo at some point with Entomb for Oona, reanimating Oona instead of Dragon, then sac Strix to a Cabal...

Thanks for the input! I definitely plan on learning more about Doomsday through the forums and playing it if and when I can acquire the pieces, but I just had that one question for now which you've...

I just found the Doomsday sideboard primer linked to in the first post, and I have to say it has rejuvenated my interest in the deck. I know not everyone loves transformational sideboards, but with...

Wow, I also played Tin Fins at the Open and went 6-3. My build is a little outdated and is only U/B (partly for budget reasons after selling some cards) but I was pretty happy with the deck on the...

The only thing that concerns me about Serenity is the prevalence of Abrupt Decay, plus cards like Disenchant. And it doesn't really do anything for us against Counterbalance.

It looks great...

Just wanted to say first off, before I disagree with a bunch of stuff, that this is a great post, so thanks.



Is your build specifically lacking in shuffle effects? I run 8 fetches and 4...

He says Realm will help against an opponent that does not have a disruptive clock. This is probably because it can't come down until turn three at the earliest. A deck with a disruptive clock will...

I really want to go "Thought Scour you" after that play. I think I've seen it discussed before but I'm not sure that's actually a playable card. It would have to come in over Probes or Preordains if...

I don't think it's so bad. 12-post runs 7 creatures and maindecks S&T. It's just another option to get a guy in play and if your opponent mulls to graveyard hate, you'll probably have some time to...

The reason I ask is, like I said, unless you're S&Ting Griz into play, your Pact protection will probably kill you next turn. And even then, it's hard to go off the same turn you S&T Griz into play...

Three mana is tough to get to, but City of Solitude could be a solid sideboard card. I probably wouldn't bring it in against a deck with Wastelands though.

What I mean about "optimal" sideboards...

I don't think there ever is an "optimal" sideboard, is there? Though with this deck the opponents' hate is pretty obvious so maybe we can come close. If I'm running green, would Ground Seal be a...
