I'm thinking with Day's Undoing, this deck can more reliably kill on turn 1/2. EtW typically takes 3 turns to seal the game. Have any of you tried testing this? Here's a quick sketch of what I had in...
Young Pyromancer seems pretty good in this kind of deck. He buys you extra time against faster decks while complementing the combo when you're ready to go off. Having additional removal targets might...
Tomb of Urami is an option but doesn't hit as hard as Desecration Demon (same mana requirement). The Past in Flames kill saves you deck space by cutting down on the number of dead cards, making the...
Depending on the match-up, wishing for Magus of the Moon requires only 5 mana (as opposed to 6 for Desecration Demon / Phyrexian Obliterator). Containment Priest and Thalia/Canonist are also options...
That's part of your mistake. You should not be bringing in decay against any combo deck. Personally, I like to bring in discard when on the play to take out the relevant draw cards from their hand....
If you guys want a NO target for the burn match-up, I think Ruric Thar is more than enough. He has cross applications against storm variants. You can also run two oozes (1 main, 1 side). Remember...
Hey pal, awesome read as usual! :) I can definitely see why you chose not to bring in therapy but I personally like to think of therapy as another business spell in the mirror. It doesn't win you the...
Yeah, I understand the concern about the black mana and realize that each fetch is crucial for bloodghast triggers. I think a reasonable place to start is: -4 bolt, -1 bayou, -1 fetch, +3 pfire, +3...
If the mana base can handle it, punishing fire might be solid in place of lightning bolt due to the synergy with faithless looting and grisly salvage. This probably means shaving a few duals/fetches...
Unless you're playing manaless dredge, you should never be allowing your opponent to play first... What you're forgetting is that you have forsaken city and thwart in addition to derevi (total of 9...
Spock, I agree with FatPow that it appears you have a lot of cards that are dependent on resolving a Stasis. Combo cards such as Derevi and Forsaken City seem out of place in your control deck....
I agree with you. I don't think I was clear in how I was explaining it. I believe the OP believes you can sac with one ophiomancer in play and still have the trigger be on the stack to generate a...
Like Tyrio stated above, you get at most 1 snake for the turn. The trigger is checked and you get the snake on resolution.
Unless you're facing enchantment hate or have creature tutors,...
I saw gamekeeper for the first time in the conspiracy spoiler and was thinking that it's a cool card. Then I was informed the card already existed so here am I. Splashing red for burning wish seems...
I hadn't seen the card before but thanks for pointing it out.
You might want to try Bitterblossom first. It doesn't die to creature removal and costs 1 less mana.

Possible new combo deck with Griselbrand. Living wish seems pretty good to find Gamekeeper or Phyrexian Tower. Burning wish can find a tutor...
For reference, I used EmidIn's list from December and Jonathan White's list from SCG Oakland as a starting point.
Some of the fetch configurations I had been wondering about include:
1. 4...
Thanks for the quick response.
1. Both would be used to make green in this case. Is the blue mana just better overall?
2. I was afraid of this but makes sense.
I just picked up UBR/g DDFT so bare with me if any of these are dumb questions:
1. Aside from the increased likelihood to grab a basic Island and pretending to be miracle control (t1 tarn->basic...
Yeah, I agree it's useful to see how others would play out certain scenarios. For those interested, here are the assumptions I made when evaluating the hand:
1. You're on the play since there are...
I would tap DRS and forest to play visionary first. This allows you to potentially draw into a heritage druid, wirewood symbiote, gsz, etc. that would alter your lines of play. Assuming that the...
Do you guys think packmaster would be better than imperious perfect? Packmaster can store a guy pre-sweeper but imperious perfect is better post-sweeper.
I really like the idea of Bitterblossom on principle. Being able to establish a board against miracles/stoneblade without expending resources puts your opponent in a tough bind. However, I wonder if...
