Out

1x Witchbane Orb - Moved to Sideboard

1x Enter the Infinite - Mill was irrelevant by the time I had mana to play this.

1x Laboratory Maniac - Back to creatureless!

In

3x Spell Burst - Loads of available mana means this is, at best a repeatable Counterspell, and at worst a dead end. Might swap for Syncopate or optimally Voidslime

Deck Update!

Lightningsci, 12 years ago

Hey everyone!! As promised, I updated the deck with the new cards I have gotten. Thanks for all of your suggestions, for as you can see they helped influence what I have newly put in here! Some of the cards I took out were not functioning well enough as I had planned, others were replaced with better cards of the same "effect", and a few were placed in my other EDH decks that suited them better. The cards I took out are the following, for those who liked/need the older list: Augury Adept, Curse of Exhaustion, Darksteel Ingot, Day of Judgment, Oblivion Ring, Oona, Queen of the Fae, 1x Plains, Prahv, Spires of Order, Solemn Simulacrum, 1x Swamp, Vivid Creek, and Vivid Meadow. Thanks to everyone for helping me on this deck and having it grow to be so amazing and awesome :) Also a HUGE thanks for over 5000 views, for I never thought that would ever happen!! You all rock!!!

Overpower

Hogiej, 12 years ago

Today i had an interesting game today. I had 5,280 goblin tokens out. They all had a +1/+1 counter on them thanks to Goblin Chieftain. My opponent wasn't having a good game so I decided to have some fun. Thanks to Krenko, Mob Boss I was able to really get the number of goblins up there. Long story short, I dealt over 10,560 damage (because i had other creatures out as well, but I'm not including them.)

Added a single Wurmcoil Engine, which can be abused with either Trading Post or Academy Ruins. I found when I didn't run into a Tezz, then a turn four Wurmcoil will have to do. I can also make those 5/5 beaters, so Wurmcoil has tons of value here. Also, two Vault Skirge, thanks to theemptyquiver. Grafdigger's Cage for meta shenanigans.

FNM.

Geekachu, 12 years ago

Played the list for the first time in it's completed state. Went 4-0, without dropping a single game.

Match 1 - Junk tokens

Game 1 was pretty close. It was a 30 minute slugfest of his Sorin + Lilianna of the Veil against my constantly refilling hand. He managed to crack Lili's ultimate, but not even losing half my could keep the deck from refueling my hand. I eventually managed to out-value his board with a boardwipe when his hand was empty, and won the game shortly thereafter. The second game was more agressive, and resulted in me winning after 15 minutes.

Match 2 - Jund Control

Game 1 was more or less a repeat of the previous game 1. Long slugfest resulting in me simply outdrawing him and burying him in card advantage after about 25 minutes. Game 2 he messed up a bit and discarded a farseek to a turn 2 Lili, while I decided to keep mine. This allowed me to get ahead on land drops and, consequently, card advantage. Using Wolf Run combined with Selesnya Charm to exile his Olivia Voldaren sealed the game for me.

Match 3 - UWR Tempo

There's not much to say here. He got landflooded both games during the midgame, which allowed me to get far, far ahead. Repeatedly destroying and trading with his Reckoners made this far easier than it should've been.

Match 4 - Naya Humans

The matchup I was dreading the whole evening. This deck is FAST, and I know that unless I play t2 Augur, t3 charm into t4 sweep OR t2 farseek into t3 sweep I'm going to lose. Luckily, I drew the first alternative game 1, which led to a pretty fast win. Game 2 was a really hard to watch. I drew 3 lands, Farseek and Supreme Verdict with 1 charm and a Feeling of Dread as backup. And on turn 3, when I was going to sweep the board, he tapped his Cavern of Souls and a Sacred Foundry in response to play Boros Charm with indestructability mod, only to seconds later realize his mistake. The worst part was that the turn before that he had put down another Sacred Foundry tapped instead of shocking himself to make it enter untapped. Had he played that Sacred Foundry untapped, I would've definitly used my sweeper right into his charm, and promptly gotten myself killed.

In the end, I'm very happy with how the deck runs. I didn't feel like any matchup was unwinnable or that I was ever at a severe disadvantage. As my LGS is kind of small, we have a very small price pool aswell. For my win, I was awarded a Blood Crypt, which I then traded for a Jace, Architect of Thought that I will experiment as a maindeck alternative to one of my Garruk, Primal Hunters.

smarkham, 12 years ago

Jarad, Lich Lord doesnt really see too much playtime. so i took him out and added Vexing Devil to be faster as well as Hellhole Flailer in place of the Slaughterhorns

gaymer, 12 years ago

i have changed the deck up a little since its inception...yesterday. I decided that Birthing Pod fits perfectly in here and lets you activate a zameck guildmage and sack it to get a kitchen finks. Finks filters into Master Biomancer and when you have the combo of either biomancer or guildmage going, pod can sack a kitchen finks into a redcap if need be.

Cards i have considered for this deck and some I took out:

Greater Good Spawning Pit *list*

Almost Complete!

milez0, 12 years ago

It's nearing a state in which I can finally say I am completely satisfied with its makeup and performance. It consistently wins 2 v 1 s with other decks I own, and can do better than that.As long as no new super amazing cards (like Ral Zareck) come out in the next few expnsions, I won't have to change it too much for a while after I get my Eventide box to collect those expensive lands and other eventide cards that are common in the deck.

CrimsonWings3689, 12 years ago

-1 Elspeth Tirel underperforming and given to Hazezon Tamar EDH deck

+1 Ajani Goldmane have promo and opting to try him out again.

-1 Ghost Quarter

+1 Thespian's Stage in it's place

Also currently playtesting Ring of Thune over Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang as it comes out cheaper and can assist Kemba earlier on/serves to make her bigger which is the point of the deck after all

Tournament #1

Gaijira, 12 years ago

6-0 Tournament R1: New player playing Brainfreeze Hightide. 2-0 R2: Experienced player playing ANT. 2-1 R3: Experienced player playing WU Stoneblade. 2-1 R4: Experienced player playing 4C Cascade. 2-1 Semi: Experienced player playing Hatebears. 2-0 Final: Experienced player playing 4C Cascade. 2-0 (His bob flipped a Boom//Bust for 9 damage)

More Sideboard Changes

Eskimole, 12 years ago

Swapped the Psychic Strike for a Dissipate as Junk Reanimator is now popular again.

Also took out a Rolling Temblor for a Staff of Nin. The Temblor seemed unnecessary due to the mainboard being extremely effective against Aggro anyway. Staff of Nin is a complete house that can help me go over the top of midrange and control strategies.

Tolarian Academy

Skeith92, 12 years ago

Added 2 Tolarian Academies to get higher cost spells out sooner if the deck is running slow. (Also added 2 Filigree Sages for more hilarity)
