You are able to keep those hands because Wild Cantor is in your deck, but you have effectively mulliganed down to six anyway by spending Cantor to make the black mana in the first place. I honestly...

"Wild Cantor is so good as filter" doesn't seem like a very compelling argument to me. Wild Cantor is probably the most versatile mana filter effect you can have in this deck, but I don't think that...

Turn 1 D4 with no mana left over is understandable. What I want to stress more is that your plans also should consider what resources you will have after a D4. A D4 that cost you three or four cards...

Understandable. I really do think it's a stretch to say that this deck wins on the first turn 7 out of 10 times, and I think that is just because of the inherent inconsistency of playing so many...

I won't defend the 70% turn 1 win percentage because that seems pretty high to me too. That being said...when you say you're mulling into oblivion, how far down are you mulliganing to? This deck has...

Reading your report, it seems to me you were expecting to be able to play Magic: The Gathering with this deck even though you're usually supposed to be playing Filthy Solitaire with yourself while...

Personally, I'd suggest the Land Grant version of the list with the 0 mana guys. I started out with the Pact version myself, but it took a whole lot of solitaire to figure things out--I had taken the...

Is there a reason you're playing Deathrite Shaman and Odious Trow? I think you should be playing two copies of Deathrite Shaman if you're comfortable playing the Trow as a dedicated Pact target with...

Slithermuse is not green.

What is your current list looking like right now? I lent all my duals out to my friends for the GP, so I'm taking SI to my local event this week.

Is there any alternative to Xantid Swarm with all of these bolts in the format right now?

What would you change to the D7 list to accommodate Past in Flames? I'm not sure how much I like Skyshroud Cutter in the list, but the only other free guy I can think of is Vine Dryad and I don't...

I'm more of a fan of Belcher--I don't know if it was just the way things were, but when I was playing this deck more often, I was finding that every time I didn't kill on turn one, what would happen...

To be perfectly honest, I would be scared shitless to play PSI now, only because the number of playable Turn Zero answers to the combo has gone up--playing a Pact into that seems like suicide before...

Street Wraith and Probe are *not* cool. To retread the same arguments:

A) Makes mulligan decisions harder in a deck that already has very difficult mulligans
B) Probe in a deck with no disruption...

I don't know anything about Phylactery Lich, having never tested it, but I don't like that it requires an Artifact to be in play because you will have times where you just can't cast it, and you will...

I didn't mean to throw in your face that I've played the deck longer, or anything like that. I realize that my post may have come off that way, and for that I apologize.

I haven't personally tried...

To give you an idea of what I'm talking about--I've lost games because Dryad Arbor doesn't tap for mana and then gets Wastelanded. I would never want to have Dryad Arbor be the mana I need to win the...

The issue is that Dryad Arbor is a pretty poor initial mana source (summoning sickness), and is removed too easily for me to be happy with it as a permanent mana source. It also puts me at four lands...

When I play SI, and I put the entire sideboard in, I take out:

1 Land Grant
1 Culling the Weak
4 Summoner's Pact
1 Dryad Arbor
1 Eternal Witness
1 Odious Trow
1 Slithermuse
3 Tendrils of...

So I'm back home, and I played in a GPT. I'm not going to the GP, but there aren't a lot of Legacy Tournaments in my area.

Round 1-Bye. There are only eight other players here, so I get to see...

Honestly, I equate Eternal Witness to IGG/Slithermuse in this deck. You rarely want to draw it, but its functions as a card in your deck that you are able to search for are good enough to warrant its...

I went 2-3 with the Pact List in a tournament in Osaka today, but that was almost in its entirety because I lost to myself a few times. Let me explain.

This is the deck I played.

1 Bayou
1...

If you're playing Burning Wish/Red, is the number of times that you've blocked a 2/x with Phyrexian Walker higher than the number of times where you've wished that Phyrexian Walker could pitch to...

It's more that I'm finding expensive Japanese P3K cards at 40% of their value, even if they aren't the English print run. A Japanese Burning of Xinye is ten dollars less than an English one, but I...
