Description Update —May 14, 2015

No changes to the deck itself.
Added a budget version (1/5 the price), and cleaned up the page a little bit.
First competition in a week from tomorrow for the MM2015 release. I hope I can clean house and go home with more cards!

FNM update:
Played a 3 man chaos game last night against a mono-green ramp/hydra deck and a U/R drake-producing instant/sorcery deck.
while we all started out slow (I had no combo cards in my OH) I ended taking them both out the same turn on T7, thanks to a poorly timed spot removal by the U/R player and the luck of me pulling a Pact of Negation at the beginning of that turn.
I simply Gut Shotted the other opponent immediately thereafter.

Bam.

All the cards needed for the combo should be raised to 4x of each.

The owner can correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no need to run all 4 Gut Shot, because the hardest part is assembling the combo, from there there are many draws that can finish the game, whether it be Duress, combat damage, or Gut Shot, by not running 4 Gut Shot it improves consistency ever so slightly.

Thank you kameenook.
I have played around with this to an almost obsessive level. The combo is just the win-con. It's cheap, easy to pull off, and only a two card requirement.
The hardest part was building a control base that allows me to survive long enough to get out the combo, while having kill-switches still available. Gut Shot is one of those cards you hold until you need it. And with 3 in the deck, you're statistically s'posed to pull one evey game over the course of 7-8 turns.
