I love a classic this-pays-for-my-college-tuition rock deck. What are you hoping Wizards will reprint in the next MM2 set?

Ive built this deck twice now. Sold it the first time and bought a car. I wasnt going to rebuild it, but I realized its just my favorite deck to run, I dont feel as comfortable with any other deck.

For MM2 im hoping for Damnation, and Fulminator Mage, Thats what I need for this. But Ive got several other decks im working on. Need Mox Opals, Blightsteel Colossus Karn Liberated,

What about you man

How does it work? I'm not familiar with the deck, it looks like Abzan Midrange.

what are you confused about?

I feel very uncomfortable about this deck. You have A LOT of 3 and 4 mana creatures and other spells. Against affinity for example, this is going to be very problematic. 25% of your deck can't even be cast until the turn before they win. 10% can only be cast on the turn they do. That's 1 in 3 cards thats ineffective against aggro.

In particular I feel that abzan charm is unsuitable, phy oblit is great but probably just worse than solid old thrun or the value offered by siege. I feel that smallpox is counter productive when you have a great reliance on creatures and an average land count to support them. I feel that path to exile is also problematic and definitely not main board material.

I like where this is going but I think it needs to tighter and leaner. At the moment it's made some match ups extremely difficult unecessarily.

3 and 4 mana creatures? I have no higher count than any list thats placed in a top 8 recently.

Smallpox puts the the game in my favor. It is usually a turn 2 play, and cripples the opponent. I kinda agree on Abzan Charm, it is over costed, but it has so much value. Gets sided out in a lot of match ups though. And i dont see what your issue with path to exile is, especially as a 1-of.

Smallpox in a three colour deck with somewhat questionable fixing is usually not fantastic.

Path is bad in an attrition deck because it just allows your opponent to make more plays than you. It gives them incremental advantage. You have far better options you can use anyway.

Sorry, I thought you had 3 rhino, 1 phy ob, and 1 thrun,

As a 1 of i dont usually have any issue casting it. I see what your saying, even if i cast it T2 it requres me to get black sources and maybe not the fixings i need, but still.

One of the high point in my magic playing was this retarded game, that will never normally happen. Was against infect on the play. T1 thoughtseize. They drop a fetch. T2, drop swamp, pass. they go to crack fetch, shadow of doubt. Next turn, they pay 2 for breeding pool, Glistener Elf. My next turn, smallpox. They scooped.

I realize that doesnt nomally happen, but smallpox still FSU.

I highly suggest 4 Siege Rhino.
