Yeah, I'm actually working on that now. I'm trying to figure out the last two spots in my board currently, then I'll be putting all of that up.I need to actually update/resume work on the Primer, too :|
Sweet. Thanks dude. I was scrolling through pages and then I noticed that it had come up earlier so I decided to badger you :)Quote:

Also, the 2x Abrupt Decay in the sideboard are placeholders at the moment. I don't know what the hell I want in those slots -- I tried Choke and was reminded of why I hate it; I also attempted Angel of Serenity and she was lackluster (a shame, because I actually wanted her to be as good as I thought she could be). Decay is jut generally good and can fill in while I figure out what the hell else I want.
Just to let you know the link does not work for me :frown:Quote:

K. Brb tweaking.
Edit: Oh, okay. That's the one I wanted to test at the moment anyway. Thanks!
Edit 2: latest Rector and Scapewish lists are on Docs now, so you guys should be able to access them freely.
ScapeWish and Rector worked on docs.
Primer on Pastebin did not.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
EDIT - Pastepin now works (11 hours after original post).
All links work for me, including Pastebin. Might be worth moving that to google docs too though. Keeps everything in one place to edit and you can share it out to other folks to contribute to editing it.
I'm planning on doing this -- but I'm going to go through and do some updates, fill out some more sections, etc when I move it over. It'll be a good way to force myself to actually work on it, lol.Quote:

I only switched the Future Sight for Recurring Nightmare, switched 1 Strix for Coiling Oracle and added an extra basic Plains. Other than that it was an exact copy ;)
I went to the tournament not expecting to do well (never even goldfished the list) only with hopes of accomplishing 3 things
1) Rector into Diabolic Intent into Omniscience+Emrakul
2) Go 'infinite' with Omniscience, Recurring Nightmare, Baleful Strix (or Oracle) and a other random dude
3) Intent an Emrakul away to find it again and play it again.
All 3 objectives have been achieved during the 3 rounds I played. Man I had a blast. But I must admit I've been quite lucky with the matchups:
Rock, Punishing Fit, MonoR Goblins.
Round 1 my opponent made a really big mistake which cost him the game and let me achieve objective 1. He had an active Deathrite Shaman in play with mana open. He failed to exile the Rector in responce to the trigger (although that might just have been his unfamilairity with cards like Rector since he ususally plays Standard) Game 2 I achieved objective 2.
Round 2 I had to fetch Faith's Fetters to stop a Liliana of the Veil and Rector into Moat to survive his groundbound onslaught. I naturally draw into Emrakul and Intent for the last Rector with a Tower in play. My opponent brainfarted this game as well Zenithing into his Broodmate Dragon instead of just finding his Acidic Slime. Anyway I swing with Emrakul, play Eternal Witness to regrowth my Intent, play Intent saccing Emrakul and find Emrakul. Objective 3 achieved. g2 went to time with me stalling my opponent with Moat.
R3 I draw Emrakul on turn 3 and Therapy away Rector on turn 4. My opponent just had 4 lands, Warren Instigator and Piledriver.
G2 I naturally draw Moat and play it on turn 2 with help of Tower and Veteran Explorer. Enemy scoops forgetting he still has an out with SGC.
The sideboard was hardly used but that's only because the maindeck was good enough against my matchups.
I want to give Viridia mad props for putting this list together. Eventhough I doubt I would run it in a large tournament it actually is pretty good and really hilarious to play.
Thanks :laugh: It is a lot of fun to pilot ^^ I might take it to some more small-ish tournaments when i have time, just to see the looks on opponents faces when you go infinite or Intent into Omni + Emrakul :PQuote:

To be honest: No. Most of the time I would just hold Rector in hand until I had some way of finding Emrakul or just play Rector as a creature based Moat. You can always find something with her. Future Sight just felt like win-more. Recurring Nightmare + a carddrawer works just as well.Quote:

Finding your basics, Regrowth-ing your graveyard, carddrawing, lifegain and tokenproduction. Its all possible with Nightmare and its a bitch to get rid of ;) FS just doesnt provide you with all these things in 1 card.
And being able to draw your library until you find Emrakul is obviously a huge plus for Nightmare as well.
Yeah, when we revised the list that evening, we actually added 1 Recurring Nightmare, but we didn't know what to take out yet. Maybe it's correct to just take out the Future Sight.
I wouldn't play a 2nd basic plains tho, it's a colorless land until you find a Rector, and you also already play 2 or 3 duals that produce white mana :)
I'll continue working on the list to see if i can make some improvements in it :)
The reason I added a 2nd basic Plains was just to be able to hardcast Moat. With just 1 plains and 1 nonbasic plains I felt the risk was too high. The turn 2 Moat in game 3 was only possible because I played 2 plains. Perhaps playing only 1 is fine most of the time though. Like I said I didnt test the list and just changed some stuff I thought would improve the deck (only by a small margin)
Viridia, I'm blanking on names and I'm also feeling incredibly lazy today (so I'm not going to go back and find it) -- but have you tried the Scroll Rack technology? I can't remember the guy's name who suggested it -- he was also working an Omniscience version, and he had like 2x Scroll Rack in the deck to shuffle away Emrakul/Omniscience if they were drawn. I mean, dies to Deed and all, but you should never have to put them back more than once a game, what with Top and all.
Also, how goes the hunt for the Scapeshifts? That convention is in just over a week, so we should probably deal with the one that you had found, at least, so that it gets here in time.
I haven't tried the Scroll Racks yet, but i think i prefer playing 4-color and having access to brainstorm and possible sideboard options.
I'll try to test them :)
Also i'll send the Scapeshift asap! Hope it'll arrive in time.
Sweet. I'll make that one my Burning Wish target, then, since it'll be different from my other two. At least I'll have one in its "ultimate pimp" form =) Just PM me what I owe you.
Also, I've mentioned thinking about a 5-color version for a while now, but I've never really fleshed the idea out. Have you considered Chromatic Lantern, if you're drifting that way? Stick in a pair of Lanterns, and then you could actually just hardcast the damn Omniscience if you draw it. Lantern (and some rainbow mana base elements like City of Brass/Reflecting Pool/etc) would also enable you to run REBs and Slaughter Games in the board, which IMO are the single best thing about Red in Nic Fit (enabling Scapeshift and Burning Wish are close 3rd and 4th reasons). Just some food for thought. At the point at which you're splashing blue for Brainstorm, why not go deep and try it out?
I've actually thought of that, however the lanterns die to every Deed :(
Also my m8 told me he actually hardcasted Omniscience in about 1/3 of the games where he got it into play :P
"Doublepost"
I would need Huntmasters aswel tho, hmm. Need to get those :P
Edit: Thinking about it, Gemstone Mines is pretty good in this list, not costing any life, and you can use it 2 times before the Lantern gets online for any color. I do think you still need Fetches and Duals etc. So i made a sort of started list for the mainboard, i just put this together quickly, but i think it's not a bad start :P
