One cut

Oreskos Explorer -> Flickerwisp

Oreskos Explorer never seems to work out, and Flickerwisp was definitely at the head of the line to be added.

more focus

RijtBart, 8 years ago

I decided to skip the mill strategy. It was a very marginal thing in this deck to begin with so it had way to little impact. Keening Stone and sphinx tutelage are out for that reason.

I finally got my hands on a Vicious Shadows so I added a few boardwipes. Also added a Horn of Greed and Ebony Owl Netsuke because it's all about card advantage and getting punished for that many cards in your hand. Combined with Vicious Shadows and a few wipes it can win me a game or two. The main reason to play this deck is still to have fun, so no major combo or anything like that.

Good Bye

Cheers to Devastation!

theLegendred, 8 years ago

With the Hour of Devastation release a little more than 2 weeks away, I've been no less than impressed with what I've seen spoiled from the set so far. The 3 nameless plague gods, Nicol Bolas as a 4 ability Planeswalker, and of course (drools*) those invocations. Yaaaasssss!

Along with these wonderful things, Torment of Hailfire is absolutely nuts. As soon the set comes out and as soon as my two diabolical hands get a hold of that thing, that card will be going into this deck. I'm strongly considering swapping out Corrupt for it.

In addition to this change, I'm sideboarding Gonti, Lord of Luxury. He may have great synergy in this deck, but I've been thinking that he's not intimidating or game-changing enough during the times I've used him. Since there's plenty of ramp an graveyard recursion to go around, I'm substituting him for Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger.

And while I'm at it, I am going to substitute Buried Ruin for Dark Depths to see how well a Marit Lage will work. This swap will give my Vesuva and Thespian's Stage some more usability.

All in all, I hope that these changes will work for the better. Besides, l want this deck to be more than capable of putting the fear of God into... well... a god or god-pharaoh.

I'm always open to suggestions, so please feel free to give me your 2 cents.

Ps: I've made some cuts to the Sideboard and Maybeboard.

Minor changes

Pyronixcore, 8 years ago

I've removed the two remaining Forest, two Selesnya Guildgate, two Selesnya Sanctuary, the Spear of Heliod and Ajani's Chosen.

To replace them, I have added two Sunpetal Grove, two Stirring Wildwood, two Temple of Plenty, and two Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

Overhaul

ctenochaetus, 8 years ago

In spite of this being my most competitive deck, I've not done a total review of it in a long time. When I first made this deck, I was pretty much a beginner, and I have a better idea now of what works and what doesn't. That said, this was a pretty huge revision.

Out: Put Away, Cancel, Mindswipe, Flame Rift, Goblin Electromancer, Jhoira of the Ghitu, Ral Zarek, Invoke the Firemind, Izzet Chronarch, Flame Fusillade, Psychic Spiral, Sphinx of Jwar Isle, Mizzium Transreliquat, Clone, Blue Sun's Zenith, Guttersnipe, Mizzium Mortars, Quicksilver Dagger, Nivix Guildmage, Library of Leng, three Islands, two Mountains

In: Arjun, the Shifting Flame, Basilisk Collar, Brainstorm, Charmbreaker Devils, Confirm Suspicions, Counterflux, Dismiss into Dream, Gorgon's Head, Glorious End, Kefnet the Mindful, Pull from Tomorrow, Staff of Nin, Suffocating Blast, Swerve, The Locust God, Thought Vessel, Vizier of Many Faces, Tandem Lookout, Price of Progress, Baral, Chief of Compliance, Seal of the Guildpact, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Grixis Panorama, Swiftwater Cliffs.

Keeping a few of the swap-outs in the maybeboard - really wasn't sure about taking them out. Keeping an eye out for anything that plays badly for another swap-in. I like Swerve and Glorious End but they're my top two suspects to swap back out.

Baby Steps

rco, 8 years ago

Ugh, did we really ignore all of the 2-drop ramp? Rampant Growth, Farseek, Nature's Lore, Sakura-Tribe Elder, even Simic Signet and Mind Stone.

• Birds of Paradise -> Sakura-Tribe Elder
• Reality Strobe -> Blatant Thievery

Trinkets Ahoy

Haldarious, 8 years ago

-Typhoid Rats, Swamp, Annihilate

+Trinket Mage, Darksteel Citadel, Infiltration Lens

Trinket Mage actually does some decent work. It can fetch mill (Altar of the Brood, Codex Shredder), mana (Sol Ring, Darksteel Citadel) or stuff to suit up Wrexial (Infiltration Lens). Considering Brittle Effigy as well.

WIP

rco, 8 years ago

Current notions:

• Skull Catapult -> Kismet
• Spirit Link -> Archivist
I keep waffling on Soul Barrier. Mana Prism, the diamonds...
