Side Comments - No Pain Magnification? That's essentially what Hellspark is for D=

Keep in mind that you need ALL you blue sources in the deck for Cruel Ultimatum... if you accidentally burning a tri mana, you have 2 useless cards

I'm also concerned about Cry of Contrition... Duress/Thoughtseize is better... 2 more damage for them is worth being able to pick out a bomb

Also, you might need more blue sources for Wistful. With 3 Megrims it's an instant win.

It's a STRONG bomb... 16 damage with just 2 for 3?

Also, Unsummon is strong in this deck

Ddrmaster1331 Sat Jul 25, 2009 12:36 am

I like the suggestions, but i let me explain a little bit.

With the cry of contrition i can make you discard a card, and then most likely il haunt a card im about to kill.

And with the hideaway land i can hope for a shot at getting a cruel ultimatum for a suprise!

Il take your suggestions to heart though.

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 12:41 am

I am concerned by Cruel Ultimatum as well. I don't think splashing like two cards worth of blue is really practical. If you're going to get into blue, put some more cards in there, or (probably a better plan) ditch blue all together and get some more red/black.

I would also suggest AMB's Isochron Scepter combo; in this deck it would be savage and deadly.

Haatweels Sat Jul 25, 2009 12:57 am

Yeah, definately, but also he can get away with splashing blues if he stuck in 1 or 2 panoramas as well. I know he has a lot of turn 2-5 drops, so any more panos would be tricky, but 1 to fetch that desperately need swamp or mountain wouldn't be too bad.

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:02 am

Bah, if you're going to splash do it with firm reason. I think this deck could get off perfectly well without the blue. He could even put TWO Isochron Scepters in.

Haatweels Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:16 am

Well blue is really for those tough situations

Like he can't kill darksteel colossus, but if he unsummons it and makes them discard it, they lose it and take two...
Also I think Isochron might be slow...
It needs to be tested by decks other than ones from our pool...

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:18 am

Well he may not need to kill Darksteel if he pwns me with direct damage from Megrim. This deck is all about getting behind creatures to deal damage, imo.

Haatweels Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:20 am

But what if they neutralize megrims? Even the best disruption will eventually crumble when not supported by a backup plan. He can blue it up for more cards with wistful if he's in a pickle, stall with unsummon and consider wall of frost

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:21 am

I guess...

Just splash wisely, k?

Haatweels Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:25 am

Tru that

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:25 am

DOUBLE TRU.

Ddrmaster1331 Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:50 am

I guess, but the most practical thing right now is that blue is looking really strong. I dont think you guys saw the combo of the hideaway lands and how powerful they can be. If i happen to get cruel ultimatum with the hideaway land then i can stow that until ive taken you for 7 damage with blightning and then jsut seal the deal.

Haatweels Sat Jul 25, 2009 10:46 am

But you can just as easily run your hideaways and your cruels into the graveyard...or your blue sources. Burning inquiry doesn't help on that...

Ddrmaster1331 Sat Jul 25, 2009 2:55 pm

easily can, but its a risk im willing to take by the time i have burning inquiry doing damage im probably not going to need those cards anyways. We'll see what happens after a few games.

Haatweels Sat Jul 25, 2009 3:19 pm

Well you need some secure ways to get megrim fast in case you burn them away

Ddrmaster1331 Sat Jul 25, 2009 4:32 pm

I do i gotta hope for a diabolic tutor or the two sign in bloods i have in sideboard. Your right though your catching a lot of the things i have to watch out for. Now the only thing i have to do is get the following cards...

Suyash = wistful thinking x2
Myles = Cry of contrition x4
Luke = Crumbling necropolis x1

I think thats it...

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 9:29 pm

More like Zander = Crumbling necropolis x1 because I'm trading Luke Savage Lands for it.

Ddrmaster1331 Sat Jul 25, 2009 9:38 pm

yes that! I will need that, i also need 1 pain magnification and if you can get a volcanic fallout that would be awesome.

yukirukun Sat Jul 25, 2009 9:40 pm

Lulz, I have no means of getting Volcanic Fallout, I don't think, but I'll save the other two just for you.

Ddrmaster1331 Sat Jul 25, 2009 9:41 pm

Ok, awesome thank yous!
