Some playtesting vs. my other decks —May 7, 2012
After enough tries I finally got the playtester to load and tried out matchups vs. some of my other Standard decks...
vs. RG Werewolves 0-2
This matchup didn't go so well. The first game the wolves ran all over this deck before things could get going. Next game went a little more smoothly but turned into a stalemate. Garruk's ultimate finished the job.
vs. GW Aggro/Ramp 2-1
Game 1 my big stompy deck was on its game (removing threats, dropping big stompy creatures, etc.). Next game went to Mirran Crusader and Angelic Destiny. In the tiebreaker I recover from a bad mana draw to drop 2 Thraben Doomsayer on the board with fateful hour. Things got ugly from there.
vs. UB Infect 2-0
Turns out this deck was a nightmare for my U/B Delver-Infect deck. The threats came out too quickly to counter and no mass removal left Delver in the dust.
Thanks! :) I was hoping to add more to it but ran out of ideas. So far it seems like a fun deck. I'm thinking I might drop one or two of the 3cc cards for extra lands so I'm not struggling to cast later on.

With all the life gain I've been trying to think of a way to activate fateful hour while keeping with the theme. Griselbrand would be fun but I don't want to deck myself trying to get to 5 life. Any suggestions?

Decided Killing Wave would be perfect for activating fateful hour. Still open to tweaking it a little more.
New changes...
-3 Hero of Bladehold, -3 Mortarpod, -3 Gideon's Lawkeeper, -1 Tribute to Hunger, -1 Increasing Devotion, -1 Mirran Crusader
+3 Killing Wave, +3 Altar's Reap, +3 Killing Wave, +2 Liliana of the Veil, +1 Thraben Doomsayer

Hex Parasite will get you to fateful hour on demand. (just keep paying the phyrexian mana till you are at 4/5 to remove 0 counters.)

This is true, the thought of playing Killing Wave and purposely paying the life while watching an opponent sac everything just feels dirty.

i dont think ur deck can suport 4x high priests..i run 4 lingy soulies in a deck and find it hard to tappy all.

I'll probably be updating for the core set cycle and including a little more creature token production for the tapping. wants an army to play with.

Don't have Sorin yet but going to give him a try in place of Hero of Bladehold. Thanks everyone for the +1s!

Looks good, I like decks that can use . I would suggest you add 2 more Revoke Existence to the side board(primarily for those Heartless Summoning decks with their Wurmcoil Engines)and 3x Celestial Purge would be helpful as well. Good deck though +1.

Thanks! I've been looking for some good sideboard ideas. Think some instant life gain in case I do the Killing Wave down to fateful hour combo against a burn deck would be helpful?

couldn't you put in a few Lingering Souls and take out some Skirsdag High Priest
May 6, 2012 7:15 a.m.
Probably. I've been having issues with the playtester, but it looks like I might have issues now and then triggering morbid.
May 6, 2012 7:29 a.m.
Ya I think it would,I like to use Timely Reinforcements for that.
