On a personal note, playing the deck with such a heavy weight put on percentages and probabilities makes it not fun anymore.

OK, I'll bite. Keep in mind that "people like Vacrix" used to include me.

Using this list of yours (which is I think 3 cards off of my own maindeck):

4 Cruel Bargain
4 Infernal Contract
4...

Because of the randomness of D4's, you really can't say that one decision is correct over the other. That's just how it goes with this deck - balls to the wall plays that fizzle like a puppy if they...

Vacrix, with that set-up, aren't you worried that you're cold to hate bears such Gaddock Teeg?

Or do you do as I do and just go off before Teeg/Thalia/Canonist enters play? :laugh:

wow. cabal ritual being cut? autumn's veil in the md?

if you've gained enough experience with the deck, you'd realize that cabal ritual is a crucial card in keeping the d4 chain going. and that...

I think it's pretty ballsy, bordering on reckless, to run only two win conditions in a draw-dependent deck that only has 4 conditional tutors. I remember that when I was playing 2 Tendrils and 2...

Despite Namida's very good points on why Wraith and Probe are *not* cool, I decided to try my hand in a 48 (!) card SI monstrosity. Just for the fun of it.

Why worry about Misstep? You only have 10 cards with 1cc...

Hmmm... Maybe this:

3 Tomb of Urami
4 Phyrexian Obliterator
4 Xantid Swarm
2 Tombstalker
2 Goblin Charbelcher

taking out:

My SB for Pact SI is this:

4 Duress
4 Carpet of Flowers
4 Xantid Swarm
2 Goblin Charbelcher
1 Nature's Claim

The deck becomes a house against anything with blue. However, I lose to anything...

It saddens me that whenever I read a report on SI, the common thing is losing matches due to play mistakes.

When I was testing before, I was afraid of hate bears. I knew I had no outs against a...

My list is just -1Trow, -1 IGG, +1 Belcher, +1 Manamorphose.

Witness has been hit and miss for me too, but whenver I get to use her, it's always a kill right there.

So marit, have you officially switched to the Pact list now?

Any tourney reports you want to share?

What you'd learn about the deck as you as play with it for a while is that you don't need protection Game 1. Just keep on casting bombs until one resolves. The deck has the capability of doing that,...

Well, for discussion's sake, I prefer Pact SI because no other version (I think) pushes the Turn 1 win ballot as hard as this. Also, the deck has a very good SB plan against blue, almost like it's...

Just had to say this: I love the attention that the deck's getting.

It would take a long time before I can sleeve this deck up in real life, but I would say that it's really worth it.

I've...

I'd love to see your take on this Mono-B SI you're talking about.

Try Reprocess, for the used Opals, extra tallmen, etc.

Found a chink in the impenetrable armor I thought I had with Pact SI - resolved permanents.

Found myself COLD to a resolved Gaddock Teeg - had no way in my 75 to handle that when the Zoo player...

Death's Shadow? Pain's Reward? Doomsday?

Why? What was wrong with Pact SI? I'd like to know why there's such a need for drastic innovation when the deck's been performing great as it is.

Vacrix, I tried this as well. I cut Manamorphose for the full 4 Belchers MD and 2 more Pact/Infernal targets (right now, I run 1 Trow, 1 Cantor, 1 Witness, 1 Muse).

There are times I miss...

I don't know about cutting Trow. Trow has saved my ass a number of times as Pact-able Chrome Mox fodder for black.

I do see the merits of running the full 4 Belchers in the MD thoguh. Something...

OK, I've changed my board to"

4 Xantid Swarm
4 Carpet of Flowers
2 Goblin Charbelcher
4 Duress
1 Squire

I really don't know what to put in that 15th slot. Maybe Empty the Warrens?

Never thought about that re: Culling vs. Cabal. I'll board out 2 Cabal instead of 2 Culling from now on.

I want to fit inextra Belchers, but I don't know where to put them in.

As for Autumn's...
