Damn! I was expecting a Laboratory Maniac deck! But a beatdown is way nicer! +1!

+1 for Description alone lol. I like this build too, cost is low and looks like fun to play. Question what do you sideboard out? I like the deck just how it is but I could see some problems that the sideboard can fix but I dont know what I would remove.

Sideboard cheatsheet:

Against control: -3 Gnaw to the Bone , because they'll probably chunk you out in just 2 turns regardless of how much life you have.

Against faster decks: -3 Kessig Cagebreakers , because you need a lot cards in grave for this to be effective.

Against decks that don't need to be stalled: -3 Judge's Familiar , because it's just a stall card.

Things that you never remove: Splinterfreight, Armored Skaab , Deranged Assistant , Ghoultree . These make the deck a lot more consistent.

I posted that comment on April Fool's Day, and that was Tapped Out's joke to link Pokemon cards. I'm guessing they haven't changed to comment links back. But now I'm actually a hipster and building Pokemon decks on Tapped Out.

I like it... I've been thinking along similar lines and learned a thing or two from yours. But why no [suggestion: Alchemist's Apprentice] or [suggestion: Skaab Ruinator]? I would run a play set of the first and 1 or 2 in the latter.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try to play test.

But, currently, this is why I'm currently not running these cards: Skaab Ruinator weakens Boneyard Wurm and Splinterfright , and, since we have Tracker's Instincts , we are almost guaranteed to plus, so the draw from Alchemist's Apprentice seems redundant, when compared to the much needed stall from Judge's Familiar and the mana-fixing of Dawntreader Elk (since they all give bodies).

Have you tried with Chronic Flooding

April 6, 2013 9:01 p.m.

If you splashed black, you could add Forbidden Alchemy , Gravecrawler , and Disciple of Bolas for more graveyard shenanigans.

Chronic Flooding is interesting, but I'm not convinced on it because it's useless if you happen to mill it. The current mill engine is enough, and has more utility than Flooding.

The reason why I didn't splash black is because it would require a lot more money to be spent in the land base. It's already hard enough as it is trying to not get color screwed with just dual lands. This deck used to run Spider Spawning and a bunch of gates, but I took it out for more consistency with land drops.

I would suggest Wingcrafter in place of Judge's Familiar .

Hey now, milling the opponent with mono-blue or blue/black is always fun. You don't even have to care about their life, you could be versing the biggest white healer like ajani or some shit and then just be like 'i dont give a damn about your life, bitch' and then jace the fuck outta them.
