Swamp Ass - Smallpox Control

[GreatWhale]

4x Cabal Therapy
4x Thoughtseize
4x Smallpox
4x Sinkhole
1x Pernicious Deed
2x Unearth
3x Vindicate

4x Tarmogoyf
4x Bloodghast
3x Kitchen Finks
4x Dark Confidant

4x Verdant Catacombs
3x Marsh Flats
4x Bayou
4x Scrubland
3x Swamp
1x Oran-rief Vastwood
4x Wastland


Disruption:

Thoughtseize
Cabal Therapy - synergizes with Bloodghast and Kitchen Finks
Hymn to Tourach - not used, conflicts with too many 2 drops
Sinkhole - debatable because of daze and spell snare
Smallpox - can be all benefits for you, best with bloodghasts/finks
Vindicate - catch all answer, good with LD instead of pulse
Pernicious Deed - another catch all

Creatures:

Dark Confidant - best draw in legacy, highest casting cost is 3
Tarmogoyf
Kitchen Finks - combos with Oran Rief, therapy, deed, small pox
Bloodghast - synergizes with everything in the deck like finks

2x Unearth - returns all your creatures to play for 1 black, cycles if unneeded

Not used but can be:
Eternal Witness - Double green is hard, but great synergies as well
Maelstrom Pulse - if you want to cut white and go Green Black
Swords to Plowshares - Should be somewhere
Life from the Loam - should be somewhere as well

Sideboard:

Leyline of the Void
Extirpate
Krosan Grip
Pernicious Deed
Umezawa's Jitte

Depending on the meta

I don't understand why you don't run 2/1 split with Vindicate and Pulse. You have colors for both, and they are basically the same are. Pulse just might get you lucky to take out two things. Just saying.
Also, why only 1 Deed? Is it just your 4th removal spots with vindicate? I think this card could help greatly against Merfolk, Dredge, and Goblins.
Last, why are you not finding room for StP? Its the greatest removal spell in Legacy, and its on your colors. I would really try to fit a few of those in, but thats just me.

Cuz Maelstrom Pulse is a horrible card and can't hit lands? Especially ones that can attack for two?

maelstrom pulse is alot weaker than vindicate. I bet it will drop in value once it falls out of extended.

4x Sinkhole + 4 Wasteland + X Vindicate isn't enough? Not to mention that I don't see a lot getting past with Finks + Rief anyhow.

In 6 years? Yeah, sounds good. It's still a great utility spell and I don't see why you wouldn't consider it here.

[EssKay]

Vindicate fixes Goyf standoff while Pulse does not. Also, it's just not that common to be up against multiples of something, at least less common than wanting to blow up an opponent's land.

Quick question though, would Heartmender be terrible here, maybe in place of unearth? The casting cost seems bad, but the synergy with Smallpox, Finks and Therapy seems pretty good.

Just want to commend you on the name of this deck.

Carry on.

I'm sorry I almost spit my coffee out when I read this. :laugh:

[Aboroth]

I like this deck.

But Why not playing crucible of worlds or Flagstones?
