Minor changes —Aug. 20, 2018

Parallax Tide -> Necropotence - opted for a more agressive draw engine to replace Tide which really doesn’t do much in a multiplayer game

Lightning Greaves -> Thought Vessel

Fleshbag Marauder -> Fiend Hunter

Swamp -> Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

interesting deck! I would take out chain of smog, that card is fairly terrible. I would replace it with literally any interaction card like swan song or swords to plowshares

check out my version of the deck !

I actually like Chain of Fog. It has a good chance of wrecking hands which puts us in a great advantage assuming we already have some stax pieces in play. People tend to not break the chain until everyone is out of cards to discard. Lol

that literally makes no sense. why would you want to risk losing your own hand lol if you want to make people discard their hands, i would play something way better than that like notion thief + windfall or something. than your opponents will have no cards in hand and you will have a ton of cards

I did have Notion Thief and Windfall in the earlier iterations of the deck but it (the deck) simply isn’t fast enough to really maximize Windfall without Notion Thief which is also underwhelming without enough wheels or forced card-draw effects.

We never use Chain just to discard hands. We use it to permanently gain board advantage after setting up a couple of stax pieces in play.

I can only vouch for Azor, the Lawbringer as a lategame stax piece, that do exactly what it's supposed to do :-) and Blind Obedience for the competitive matchups that outright outperforms because of speed and consistency. And because of extort it slowly by steadily drains your opponents.

I was also looking at Azor after seeing it in other lists. I am just unsure if I still have room for it. Blind Obedience is already in the list. Thank you!

Another card you can add to get the combo with the Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Panharmonicon + Felidar Guardian is Sunscorched Desert
