The Pain Intensifies —March 19, 2016
Since the Partial Paris change Kaervek was having a rough time. He couldn't couldn't come out to play as much, and he had a harder time casting all of his toys. So he decided to change. Through rigorous study and sheer will power (and a torture session here and there) he analyzed his faults and emerged even more terrible and cruel than before. This is what he learned...
- Vampiric Tutor
- Magus of the Wheel
- Fellwar Stone
- Swamp (TMP)
- Daretti, Scrap Savant
- Badlands
- Rakdos Signet
- Ghost Quarter
They're all pretty self explanatory changes, though Ghost Quarter is only going to be in the deck until I can get a Strip Mine. Magus of the Wheel is tentative, as he's not as useful if I don't have Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves out.
Currently Kaervek is still looking for efficient ways to play his spells faster and draw more cards. Blasted Landscape is only card I'm considering removing right now but any suggestions will, as always, be considered and tested.
I used to run that and Sulfuric Vortex but drawing into the other when you have one already makes it a dead card. A lot of people are also not running life gain, which also made the cards kind of useless. I am running Erebos, God of the Dead, which still allows me to gain life and also lets me draw cards.

If you toss in Soul Conduit or Magus of the Mirror it makes it super fun to run stuff like Toxic Deluge!

I have no comments on your deck, but I love the name and the inspiration!

Long-time fan!

@khunkao: Glad to hear it, always nice to meet another fan! You should try the deck, you'll love it! Rakdos isn't dead, it just smells funny!

I'm currently looking for a replacement for Burning Earth. Any suggestions?

why not a card like Everlasting Torment that could help out in this deck
