Changes in the deck - 4 —June 26, 2016

Took out Shorecrasher Elemental and Welcome to the Fold since they weren't helping much. Put more delayers.

Also took out Artificer's Epiphany for Nagging Thoughts, since it's good to have more cards of 2-mana cost to play and accelerate your game.

Working quite well now. My nemesis are planeswalkers.

Yea, maybe. You can also try Disciple of the Ring like the guy above mentioned. I never tried it, but it could be another win-con if you take OUT Rise from the Tides, and stay only with Thing in the Ice  Flip + Disciple of the Ring. Or have some in your SD against some match-ups. She can do a lot of damage to control after they side out their removal post game 1.

Woww, Shorecrasher Elemental maybe another win con but how good is it? Please change the description because you removed that Trail of Evidence Thanks for responding me, and sorry I ask too much :D That because I love this deck and I want to make this deck perfect

I don't like that Adverse Conditions because its just delaying. Maybe I prefer to Welcome to the Fold, Great againist aggro. I tested and went 2-0 :D

Interesting! I might change it then!

And no deck is perfect, but I want to try and make this one as close as it can be!

Voltei cara hahahaha. Fechei o deck,hora de testar aqui em SP. Voc trocou o Analysis por Epiphany, apesar de custar 1 a menos, descartar uma carta no faz falta???O mesmo pro Dismissal, ce t usando 2 agora e s 2 Void Shatter, vale a pena trocar um anula certo pelo scry??? Valeu, boa sorte pra gente!!!

E eu concordo com o amigo, acho que Fold combina muito bem com Epiphany!

I dont understand, Please use english if you can :) im subscribing this deck :D

Whops, sorry. Just asking if the Epiphany discard effect hurts sometimes, besides costs one less mana than Comparative Analysis. I think Epiphany works very well with Welcome to the Fold and i'm trying to find some space for it.

crosleydr Yes i know, I tried it and i won againist aggro deck. But if you use Prism Ring you cant cast for madness but Prism Ring is good againist fast aggro. Their both is good but sometimes it didnt work as we wish :D. And both are in my owm sideboard. I use 2 Prism Ring and 3 Welcome to the Fold. Went 2-0 againist vampire aggro

crosleydr, so far it has never hurt me (discarding) even once. And 3 mana is sometimes way more playable than 4, because you if you have 5 mana you can then find a Send to Sleep or a Clash of Wills or even a Thing in the Ice  Flip to play on the same turn. If you have 6 mana you can easily play 2 of them in the same turn, or use a counter + one.

Although I have never tried Welcome to the Fold yet, I really like the symbiose with epiphany. Also, if you wish you can use Trail of Evidence to generate tokens and let you not discard, or Prism Ring.

I put 2 Calculated Dismissal because we have now 25 lands (trust me, its WAY better than 24, you almost never mulligan), so I wanted some scry power to help us filter out lands later.

Ive been testing the deck a lot on Magic Online and although I do lose sometimes, I win most of the games.

would Forgotten Creation be any use in this deck?

Slunn, I dont think it has any synergy.

Hey, Mind if you change this deck into dimir? Its very powerfull. You can counter and make your opponent sacrifies their creature. This because i always lose from hexproof and control deck that cant counter my counter.

June 13, 2016 4:38 a.m.

TheLegendz says... #14

Or you can add that part of waterveil. Im getting troubel if my zombies got countered or dead because planar or tendrils

Snow_Lynx says... #15

TheLegendz, Im thinking on making a Dimir deck out of this. Please wait a while and I will tell my ideas.

The major problem is the cost... just a Languish costs a lot, and I wanted to keep the deck budget.. =/

Here's the deck I made by splashing (A LOT of) black:

Of course, you could combine a bit of this deck and a bit of that deck to make something unique. For that, I would change the Discard cards to counter cards (better to use Spell Shrivel or Clash of Wills) or draw cards like Anticipate.

You should see the Mono-blue prison deckHere is the linkhttp://www.channelfireball.com/articles/mono-blue-prison-deck-guide/

I like this deck maybe dimir is a good choice to changes this deck

Have u tried Vessel of Paramnesia to fill your graveyard fast? Its a cantrip too and looks good with Rise from the Tides.

Vessel of Paramnesia makes Invasive Surgery's delirium effect work if it's in your graveyard.

June 14, 2016 6:23 a.m.

your description doesn't quite match up with your deck list. Trail of Evidence is in your description but inst in your list.Send to Sleep is a 2 of in your list but in game 2. Invasive Surgery is a 3 of in your side board but have +4 in game 2.against aggro you have Void Shatter as -4 but only have 2 in your deck list along with +4 Adverse Conditions but there are none in your sideboard

He has been updating the deck list a lot, it has taken quite a bit to get from where it was to where it is now. With all the changes being made and as frequently as things were changing I bet he just wanted to wait until he had a for sure build before editing again.

So this I love how this deck was originally. I play with my friends a lot and the only time I really ever lost was in free for all and they gang up on me. I have changed it so I use Brain in a Jar and changed some of the other cards to make Brain in a Jar useful. One thing that you need to add even is Skyline Cascade. Yes you will be "one mana behind" but to tap a creature for laying a land. So it can be used to tap and attack with Thing in the Ice  Flip or just defense.

June 17, 2016 9:29 a.m.

Reread the skyline it just makes a creature not untap it doesnt tap it

Good call. I still think it is nice, they cant attack 2 turns in a row.
