I'm a big fan of Psychatog and Gro decks in general. Some of my friends started playing recently, and that's led me to create this deck for casual play.
Here's what I have so far:
4 Underground River
9 Island
6 Swamp
2 Terramorphic Expanse (not sure bout these)
4 Force Spike
4 Duress
2-3 Counterspell
2-3 Mana Leak
3 Ghastly Demise
2 Smother
1 Rend Flesh
2 Wash Out
3 Fathom Seer
4 Serum Visions
2 Fact or Fiction
4 Psychatog
3 Tombstalker
2 Open Slots
A few things:
-Even with all the removal, I find my Psychatogs being chumped long enough for my opponents to recover. Maybe Wonder or Shadow Rift to help me win?
-I would use Rune Snag, and maybe even Accumulated Knowledge, if I didn't have Tombstalker. He makes it impossible though.
-I love Serum Visions, and Fathom Seer is good with Tog, but I do wish I had some sort of instant speed card draw other than FoF. I would just go -3 FS -1 SV for +3-4 Mental Note but Fathom Seer really helps vs. random aggro like kithkins/elves.
-Not a lot of people here play black, so 3 Ghastly Demise is fine maindeck. I usually switch them out if I know I'm facing mono black anyway.
-For now 2 Deep Analysis have been in the maindeck, just cuz I dunno what else to put in the open slots. They've been pretty meh. I'm gonna try Draining Whelk tonight just for the hell of it.
-Of course, I do have some color problems. Terramorphic Expanse slows me down more than it fixes my colors, especially early on. What other inexpensive duals are there?
-Force Spike is the WORST topdeck, but I think it's better than Daze in this deck, simply because the tempo loss isn't worth it most of the time.
So, any suggestions?
