Finally bought the deck IRL and made a good description.

Yay! An Eggs Deck I where actually understand the win condition! +1! I see you have Riddlesmith . You could putt in some of the other ones like Myrsmith , which could work well with a "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield" effect like Suture Priest

Forget Myrsmith . If you want to gain life with Suture Priest , I'd just pyrite my Riddlesmith and recast him. Better yet, just use Sunbeam Spellbomb , gain infinite life, then deck them.

But, anyways, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I feel it's too many cards, I feel. In eggs, you really only need one win condition in game one. Any more is just dead draws. This is one reason I'm against Krark-Clan Ironworks +Banefire builds. That's three or four extra cards just so you can kill a little sooner.

Once game two rolls around, then I can start adding more win cons. Laboratory Maniac shines here.

Wow, I've never seen Sunbeam Spellbomb before. Thats awesome. You should check out this other eggs deck Eggs-Cellent.

Looks pretty good, but I'm not sure why he's running a shock land. I think I'll add Sleight of Hand , though. Help my consistency, I guess.

you can check out my eggs deck if you want, Fried or Fertilized?, i have some interesting al-win conditions sideboarded. I also sun Banefire because it can't e countered, but without Krark-Clan Ironworks , you don't need it when you have three or four lotus blooms out (which you should have, cuz you hould always reshape for them. i used to run four Elsewhere Flask , but i think its a dead draw cuz in order to get more uses out of it you need to sac it for its second ability, which gets rid of your Ghost Quarter s, making it harder to thin your deck. I dropped 3 Elsewhere Flask and added 2 AEther Spellbomb and kept one Pyrite Spellbomb main boarded, but they're mainly for removal in case of creatures like Meddling Mage

This is a stupid question, but why is it called an egg deck?

the legacy version used cards with eggs in their names instead of Chromatic Sphere and Chromatic Star , like Darkwater Egg and Mossfire Egg

Blood Moon can stop some pesky lands if the game goes past turn three. I know it kills my Ghost Quarter , but the deck can function without them. I added them after getting wrecked by a landfall deck.

Mindbreak Trap can stop certain combos.

other than storm decks (which can be taken care of by Silence ) what does Mindbreak Trap get rid of?

November 28, 2012 11:17 p.m.

FangDude says... #12

Anything that takes more than three spells. It's sort of a space-filler/back up in case there's a combo that works at Instant speed, which can get past Silence .

I'm not sure Auriok Replica would benefit an eggs deck much, especially since you can just run Sunbeam Spellbomb
