So, this came as a surprize to everyone that I played against and myself, as I just won my local tournament playing this deck:
mana//27
3 talisman of dominance
1 phyrexian totem
4 flooded strand
4 polluted delta
2 underground sea
1 swamp
2 urborg, tomb of yawgmoth
1 tolaria west
1 urza's factory
3 tundra
1 plains
4 island
creatures//4
2 teferi, mage of zhalfir
2 aeon chronicler
spells//29
3 mystical teachings
1 dismantling blow
1 extirpate
4 counterspell
4 force of will
4 accumulate knowledge
4 damnation
3 fact or fiction
4 swords to plowshares
1 ghastly demise
sideboard//
4 engineered plague
1 hideous laughter
4 meddling mage
3 orim's chant
3 extirpate
The deck looks like a total piece of crap when it is on paper, and I am being very generous, seriously... but the deck surprizingly has good MUs against alot of top decks in the format currently (namely landstill and threshold), and I happened to do quite well for myself at my local tournament last night... here is my report.
Round 1: Rgb Goblins
Game 1: I won the die roll and opt to play first. I kept a solid hand with a damnation, 3 manaproducents, a counterspell, a swords, and I think an accumulate knowledge.. I start with land pass, He goes turn one lackey, pass, I go turn two land and a talisman, he goes for what would have been a turn 3-4 win with a seige-gang and a port (which he does not use to tap my land...), I go damnation on my turn, we go back and forth, until I get a rediculous amount of CA with teachings into another AK, and eventually into a dismantling blow for his later vial... I then proceed to have a full hand, suspend a chronicler for 1, my turn have a 8/8 with haste and beats FTW.
Game 2: I board in my plagues and the single laughter for I think extirpate and a few late game cards like teferi/some other things...
I get a turn 3 plague, it gets griped, I tutor for a laughter at an endstep, I wait for him to go for the alpha strike and repsond with laughter... He eventually gets a GOYF! down and manages to beat me to death with it (I think I used all my damnations and creature control, as well as hitting 2 plagues, which do nothing to goyf.
Game 3: I get a crazy opening of turn 3 plague (after forcing vial), and a turn 4 chronicler suspend for 1... needless to say, the 6/6 chronicler got there (he took 1 swing and realized he had to chump with his remaining critters).
RECORD: 1-0-0
Round 2: TES
Game 1: He plays I think 2 chants with me having a couple counterspells in my hand, I counter the chants as he plays them, then he goes for returns which gives me the necessary FoW...he goes for ETW, as he cannot tutor for Tendrils, I have the damnation... gg.
Game 2: I boarded out creature removal (damnation mainly, and dismantlinb blow, and a few FoFs) for meddling mages and chants...
My hand is pretty solid with FoW, mage and a few other cards... I use mage to chant Tedrils, he wishes for pyroclasm, I mage naming ETW, he clasms, I have the force, and I win the game.
RECORD: 2-0-0
Round 3: Spanish Inquisition
Game 1: I force a fizzle with an early FoW, then eventually teachings for coutermagic and extirpate, and he scoops onto game 2...
Game 2: He boards into a creature beatdown deck after I take out my creature control cards for the pates, mages, and chants...
He starts to combo, I chant him in response to his second ritual, he burns for 6, and passes, I develope my board position with mages naming tendrils (not there I guess), and he activates a tomb of urami which lets him out race my mage... GG?
Game 3: I board back in some of my swords (like 2 so I can teachings)... I have a solid amount of disruption, extirpating his draw 4s (all 8), and countering his threat cards... I suspend a chronicler for like 3, and he scoops (he had no board or hand, I had 4 cards in hand, with two on the way and a mage on board).
RECORD: 3-0-0
Round 4: Goyf sligh
Game 1: he starts the game off aggressively with lots of creatures (marauder, goyf and mr.fantastic), I damnation leaving him with only a few burn spells, I have FoW, so I teachings for teferi, I play a totem on my turn, I countert a spell, play a teferi, my turn activate totem and swing for 8, one more turn and the game is over...
Game 2: I board out the lone dismantling blow for a second extirpate...
This game went really fast, although he did play a bloodmoon (didn't matter, had 2 basics and a talisnman on board)... I eventually bury him in CA, and go onto having a 4-0-0 record...
RECORD: 4-0-0
Round 5: Ahnk sligh...
*at this point it doesn't matter if I win or loose because I get first anyways (everyone else is like 3-1-1, and I would have better breakers than him as he is already at 3-1 without this game and my opponents went on to do very well)..*
We play it out anyways...
Game 1: He gets two ahnks on turn two and turn 3, as well as some early critters... He wastelands a land, and I scoop (I had nothing but fetches in hand, and did not feel like dealing 9 to myself)...
Game 2: I board in mages and extirpates... he has the same exact opening with 3 ahnks this time, with me having 3 fetches as my only other manasources in hand... I guess I loose to ahnk?
RECORD: 4-1-0
I wasn't expecting much from this deck, I thought it would have just been fun to play... but apparently is has good game against both combo and agro, and I would expect the control MU to be quite good as you run a lot more draw than most decks...
Flames will be made :P
It's the funnest piece of jank that I have ever picked up and it is apparently pretty good as well.
