The Abyss has arrived —April 13, 2018

I finally found the last card that was on my original Nath bucket list: The Abyss.

After an extensive search I finally obtained an english good looking version. I feel the deck is now approaching the near completion mark. It will never be really done or perfect, but I feel that the foundations of Nath are now pretty solid...

I also made a change of removing Arena of the Ancients for Carpet of Flowers. The Carpet gives a good deal of mana in my meta and also synergizes very well with Torment of Hailfire.

Thank you for all your support and please keep posting suggestions and ongoing chatter about Nath in here. It is interesting and always meaningful!

Best regards,

PJ

Hi Shadowz6677, it took me a while to get back onto a decent device to properly answer comments. Now that I obtained my Japanese alter, I am happy to move forward to see where this deck could still be improved. It seems you are enjoying your build too, so we might learn from eachother.

Expedition Map gives me an extra out to find Gaea's Cradle. This land is pretty vital when I want to finish the game using Torment of Hailfire.

Mox Diamond is a good addition. But I do not own one yet. I hope to get my hands on one later this day, when I have some trading options available. Good suggestion.


Hello JoeBlondie, thank you for your comment!

Smokestack was once in the deck, but it is slow. There is no direct impac on the battlefield when you cast it. It takes a full turn to become active, which I felt was sub-optimal for this build.

Possessed Portal is a brutal finisher that usually ends in GG from my table :)


Hello Wiggyman, thanks for visiting my deck and leaving a suggestion. Always appreciated!

The reason I run Dark Tutelage is due to the fact that it gives me cards without drawing them. I have cards in the deck that blocks drawing cards like Possessed Portal and Chains of Mephistopheles. Dark Tutelage bypasses this and still gives me the extra needed cards.

Hope this makes sense :)

PartyJ We run all the tutors. That is why I asked. Yea, I've been REALLY enjoying Nath. I've been tinkering with sub ins for metas that are a problem, and creatures that could pose a grave threat to the deck. Arena of the Ancients found a place in my MB recently cause man... it just does its job when it needs to.

As you know, my Nath has done A LOT of additions and revisions lately and is by far my favorite deck. (Although I own Kresh and now JVP as commanders. Still testing out JVP High Tide)

Hey Shadowz6677, I layed my hands on a Mox Diamond and it's in the deck. Along with Arena of the Ancients. I really like to test that card in my meta too! I think it will serve me well!

Out: Wall of Roots & Expedition Map

Thanks for the good tips.

Nice Primer and list. I am working on a Nath list as well. My meta is a little more creature based mid range with blink and GY recursion. Any suggestions for best creature staxs? I am trying Grave pact but it feels really slow, I dunno.

Cheers
