3th Place
Dredge: 2 - 0
E-Tron: 0 - 2
Titanshift: 2 - 0
Bant-Snowblade: 2 - 1
Notes:
- E-Tron got Chalice of the Void with 1 Counter on it into play both times and I wasn't able to do anything about it. Adjustments to the artifact-removal in the Sideboard are necessary.
- Dredge Player was the same as on 6th December, had a good chat afterwards about the Matchup: - Inquisition of Kozilek, +Dismember, +Nihil Spellbomb
match_lighter: Thank you for your appreciation :)
For the manabase: the next plan is to go +2 Fetchlands, -1x
Forest
, -1x
Snow-Covered Swamp
. Since
Forest
and
Overgrown Tomb
are both fetchable with the "Forest"-keyword I can go for the budget version of
Verdant Catacombs
:
Wooded Foothills
/
Windswept Heath
.
The only reason to run
Snow-Covered Swamp
is against
Blood Moon
, which is not played very much, also i'd need a full playset of
Verdant Catacombs
to fetch is consistently. So neither my budget allows it nor have I the requirements by the Meta to play it.
(It allows me to play
Inquisition of Kozilek
and
Plague Stinger
, otherwise I would use the to animate
Inkmoth Nexus
).
Regarding
Pendelhaven
: I upgraded to 2 last week and need to playtest. You increase the consistency of drawing it but also run the risk of beeing stuck with one on the field and one in hand. Need to see how the playtests go and then I'll decide if I go down to 1 again. 3 seems an overkill to me.
I never thought of using
Surgical Extraction
in such a matter, it seems like a good idea. Maybe I can borrow the card or proxy it for playtests, but currently it is out of my budget.

Love this deck! There are a few cards I would suggest, firstly the mana base looks nice, but if your budget permits Verdant Catacombs would be ideal. I don't know how I feel about the Snow-Covered Swamp , as it really hurts to have a land that doesn't produce . Pendelhaven needs to go down to a one of in my opinion, though it is really awesome when you draw it making one want to play a playset, it is brutally painful when you have Haven1 and then draw Haven2. Inquisition of Kozilek is definitely a good reason to play in infect, and I feel that one card that matches well with it is Surgical Extraction , be it in the board or main deck, it allows you to target a fetchland in the opponents graveyard, look at their hand, and choose if you want to attack. If they have removal and you don't have an answer you don't have to attack, if the don't attack. Seeing you as semi-budget Surgical Extraction can be a bit expensive but it's on a down trend currently so I'd look at picking up a few copies soon.
Anyways, awesome deck, good luck brewing!
