Ok, so I played the original build this Friday Night, and went 2-2 in 4 rounds of way.

Round 1: Liquid Metal Coating I don't know how this deck is viable, but somehow, it is, and with lots of humans Kessig Malcontents can indeed win you games, it won him two, and I lost the round 1-2. I won the first game on the back of Mutilate and Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis.

Round 2: White/Black Exalted/Intimidate Not really sure what this deck was about, its player and the deck itself were both a little confused about everything, but I did win it in two. First game, Liliana of the Veil goes for negative 6, which gives me the win by destroying his land base. Game 2, he is able to play some creatures but Solemn Simulacrum blocks for both Liliana of the Veil and Jace, Memory Adept so he mills to zero and I'm sitting pretty with an Elixir of Immortality for back up.

Round 3: MBC w/Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Lost this round 0-2, not suprised really, as I didn't have the counters to stop Nicol either round, nor did I have the discard, to remove it early on, despite sideboarding in counters and discard and Surgical Extraction. Had bad draws both game, with insufficient draw to make up for the lack of cards due to muligans.

Round 4: Mono-Black Vampires Took this round again 2-0, as creatures can not stand against a deck designed to remove them, this time counters happened against Liliana of the Dark Realms and his Mutilate was ineffective against my 3 planeswalker combo of doom.

This resulted in major changes to the deck, and it has become much more viable in the pre-rotation world we live in.
