I have been developing and tuning the baby below over the last week. And it is sexy to play. I know it has to be improved further to be 100% competitive but the framework seems to be more than promising.
The part of the core is pretty similar to UB Trinket-Nought lists. I have been testing Nought.dec a lot and always wanted to use those Stifles as disruption instead of saving them for my fatty - that's when Tombstalker came up as my wincon. Granted he is slower by 2-3 Turns but he isn't conditional and leaves more room to other disruption.
The only major weakness that I see with this deck is that it can't handle non-creature permanents preboard. Then again maybe it's just a pill I have to swallow.
Some questions:
- would you add morekill cons?
- and if yes which ones? (Tog, I even considered Hyppie..)
- is there a really bad matchup that needs to be improved?
- would you change the mana base?
Kill:
4 Tombstalker
Brainstorm:
4 Brainstorm
Counter Suite:
4 Force of Will
4 Daze
2 Spellsnare
3 Counterbalance
3 Sensei's Divning Top
More disruption:
4 Thoughtseize
4 Hymn to Tourach
3 Stifle
3 Sinkhole
Creature Removal:
3 Smother
1 Ghastly Demise
Land:
4 Polluted Delta
2 Bloodstained Mire
1 Flooded Strand
2 Swamp
2 Island
4 Underground Sea
4 Wasteland
[Total: 61 cards]
SB:
3 Extirpate
3 Echoing Truth
3 Propaganda
3 Back to Basics
3 Engineered Explosives (esp. Chalice & CO)
