After Torpornought (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?21468-DECK-Torpornought), Dreadorb. Also (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?20634-Torpornought-%28NPH%29). What originality !

[(nameless one)]

I wasn't claiming originality. Most legacy decks are rehashes of other decks, only changing a few cards and giving it a new name (Eva Green, Team America, Deadguy Ale). I've seen the previous posts, however, this one is mine. I wanted deck critique, not one-lined, thoughtless dickbag comments.

Welcome to the Source

Back to your deck, get rid of all those equipment. What is the point of them when youre guys post Torpor Orb will be bigger and better than your opponent's. Replace it with discard.

Also I'm guessing Fabricate is there to tutor for the Orb? At five mana in a two turn span with no acceleration, you're better off playing with better creatures and rid of the "DreadOrb" plan. That or play a couple of Sundial of the Infinite (ending your turn before your creature's trigger resolves). They can also work against Hive Mind combo.

If you're running blue (especially with CounterTop combo and Fetchlands), you need to run Brainstorm. Also, in a deck like this, you need Force of Will. Though I would recommend against CounterTop with the current meta.

But for the most part, just check the Torpornought thread.

I did not want to be a dick, but if you had seen those threads, you should have explained better your choices. Your list is worse than those I referred to, in almost every dimension.

BTW, the Sundial idea is good, as good as Torpor Orb.

Thanks for the info. So, Sundials in addition to Orb? Check.

Dropped the Tops to 2. Added Sundial, Thoughtseize, FOW, Brainstorm.

I would drop Counterbalance before SDT.
