Identify threats. Remove threats.

Casual deck to use as a play-tester or dismantle of a combo-based deck. A deck that has been thought out should not completely shut down if you remove a pivotal card. Turn one, Appetite for Brains, Despise, or Duress. If you have it, Surgical Extraction or turn two, Extirpate. I've read articles that make a case against "extraction" cards. But an innate advantage of these cards is to also gain information about how deck will play by looking through your opponent's hand and library. No surprises. This deck also tests a player's ability in-game skills not just their deck idea. This deck will play very differently depending on what you choose to take out (do you destroy their mana ramp or do you take out the big green creatures). Spontaneity/Aptitude vs. Powercards/Money.

Mana Leak and Doom Blade. Gotta love two-mana NOPE.

Nihilith and Shimian Specter for midgame and endgame. I would rather play 4x Phyrexian Obliterator but at minimum $10 a piece. Boo.

The current construction is to be played against a "creature deck" and the sideboard can be switched in for a "spell-based deck", minus Grafdigger's Cage which is in there...

+1 appreciate. comments and suggests, even better.
