[Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

[Acclimation]

New to the deck, been playing around with a few builds. My goal is mostly to get as many turn ones as I can, a) because it's flashy and b) because that minimizes the time for my opponents to play hate.

This is the list I'm working on:

1 Children of Korlis
4 Griselbrand

2 Chrome Mox
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Lotus Petal
4 Dark Ritual

4 Shallow Grave
3 Exhume
1 Unburial Rites

4 Entomb
4 Ponder
2 Brainstorm
3 Burning Wish

2 Cabal Therapy
3 Thoughtseize
3 Unmask

2 Polluted Delta
2 Bloodstained Mire
2 Marsh Flats
1 Verdant Catacombs
1 Badlands
1 Bayou
1 Scrubland
1 Underground Sea
1 Swamp

//SB:
1 Meltdown
3 Silent Gravestone
3 Abrupt Decay
1 Burning Wish
1 Exhume
1 Empty the Warrens
1 Massacre
1 Reverent Silence
1 Tendrils of Agony
2 Collective Brutality

The one thing that's still bothering me is that I'd like to fit gitaxian probe and maybe the last two brainstorms in, but I'm not sure where to make room for them.

Either way, will probably be taking something close to this to the CFB grand re-opening this weekend.

Had to do some digging, but the list in this post from a little over a year ago was one of the most consistent t1-2 lists we've created in the last few years. Going back a bit further, .dk and I found that Chrome Mox was negligible in ensuring kills, as the fizzle rate was similar (like decimal places differences) between 1 Mox and 0 mox. 2 Mox was definitely overkill, since the card disadvantage was a bit rough, especially with Unmask. If I were to play Tin Fins right now, I'd take this list, cut the Chrome Mox for a Lim-Dul's Vault (really good at ensuring t3 kills), and do 3 Unmask, 4 Cabal Therapy.

1 Children of Korlis
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
4 Griselbrand

4 Brainstorm
4 Dark Ritual
4 Entomb
3 Goryo's Vengeance
4 Shallow Grave

4 Cabal Therapy
1 Collective Brutality
4 Gitaxian Probe
3 Ponder
1 Reanimate
3 Unmask

1 Lim-Dul's Vault
4 Lotus Petal

4 Polluted Delta
4 Marsh Flats
3 Underground Sea
1 Tundra
1 Scrubland
1 Swamp

As a personal preference, I don't like Exhume in these lists, because I really like winning the turn I get Griselbrand on the field, but that's 100% personal preference. I know people have been having success with Burning Wish builds, and they're still pretty quick, so definitely jam the list and report back. And check out our thread in New & Developing (Bizarro Stormy) if you want more Griselbrand action, it's a similar shell that's a lot better at achieving t1 kills, albeit with a bit lower rate.
