NO Prog Survival

[alderon666]

So here's the deal, I wanted to build a new deck. I actually have an Ichorid that has won me a couple things over the last year, but let's face no one likes to play against it. So I want to build a new deck, something that doesn't auto lose against anything and is fun to play. I really don't like ThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThresh, Merfolk or anything with counterbalance.

The Natural Order + Progenitus combo caught my attention, that altough it's a janky 2 for 1 against counterspell it just wins 99% of the games after it resolves.

The Survival seemed a lot of fun, being so open for metagames slots and the likes. Also having an a tutorable answer to almost anything MD sounds cool.

After I saw the version of Survival with NO Prog combo incorporated I just feel in love with it. With Survival if you didn't draw Survival of the Fittest you were just playing a janky aggro deck, but with the combo you have the chance of stealing games out of nowhere. NO is just a threat that needs to be answered.

But I'm questioning the viability of the deck against top tier decks, it doesn't show results and there's no discussion at all in the forums. Is it just not a good deck? What's your opinion about it?

I would suggest Elf Survival. The natural order combo fits perfectly into that deck, and it is a blast to play.

I really don't know why nobody wants to play Prog. Survival, the deck IS good.
