You can't really complain about "oh man, you'll draw Demigod at some point" (particularly since it's still a fine creature on it's own) and then turn around and say "and you're going to have to Intuition for Urborg" when you play the same amount of copies plus have all this other manipulation.
For one thing, Crime just requires you to resolve Intuition, as opposed to finding CB and Top. For another, they're not mutually exclusive. Lastly, the card straight up rapes the other guy in the mirror, and avoids the Krosan Grip trump they may or may not be holding.Do you know why I hate Raven's Crime? If you have a deck with Counterbalance, why spend more time and mana to do Raven's Crime when you can just as effectively (with less mana) use Counterbalance and Sensei's Divining Top to lock them out? Plus, Raven's Crime doesn't stop topdecks.
Deed is main because then you don't get blown out by the lock as often and because you can just kill their board and then lock them out.
Gigapede sucks because, again, he takes forever to kill the other guy, as opposed to Demigod, which lets you actually race aggro decks in the midgame.
I actually wanted to play the deck because I didn't like how vulnerable other Counterbalance decks are to Krosan Grip going long.You say that the "entire point" of playing Demigod is to win through Blood Moon, but Moon effects are, at best, a minor metagame concern right now.
Probably worth testing.P.S., how does Magus of the Moon sound in the blue control mirror? Seems like it would do a number on ITF, Landstill, etc.
people who think that Intuitioning for Demigods is awesome are going to have their minds totally and completely fucking blown away when they dredge one while having another in their hand. just saying.P.S., I like drawing Demigod. It's kinda nice knowing you never have to win Tarmogoyf wars, and it becomes really nice when you dredge one.
When in doubt, mumble.
When in trouble, delegate.
