    From the Vault: Exiled

    I got the previous FTV through a pre-order, but this set is only sold through brick and mortar stores. Basically the European scene with it's lack of stores get the shaft again.

    Ransac once again goes to yet another tournament: pt. 5

    Maelstrom Pulse doesn't do damage, neither does Damnation.

    Hall of Shame Nominations: Tempest

    So have you figured out yet what this Hall is about and are we (ever) moving on to the next set?

    Ransac once again goes to yet another tournament: pt. 5

    Damnation is hardly a budget card ;) Doesn't Everlasting torment help your bad matchups? You could run the other two in your SB. Instead of Infest you could run Firespout I guess. You could also take your deck a different route with the Cascade elf. I read about a deck yesterday, very similar...

    Ransac once again goes to yet another tournament: pt. 5

    I can't see how you can loose from the tokens deck between the volcanic fallouts and the infests.

    Ransac once again goes to yet another tournament: pt. 5

    I wouldn't call running a creature like FoD with a bullseye a downside ;) I wasn't questioning your creature choice either, only their CC. You don't have FoD, and Hellspark seems like a very good choice. I mentioned FoD because he's a mana whore, so then you'd need more land. You might get away...

    Ransac once again goes to yet another tournament: pt. 5

    He also runs Figure of Destiny, s his deck needs more mana to begin with. You really need the cards you board in, so you have to make sure you can cast them. This makes Deathmark so very good (I assume), because you can always play it.

    Ransac once again goes to yet another tournament: pt. 5

    I just noticed you have only 21 lands. That's very little. You need to get to three mana by turn three, and you need a lot of mana to unearth Anathemancer or play your valuable sideboard cards. Play cards with a lower CC in your SB and main deck or add some land. I'd suggest cutting 2 Gougers...

    Ransac once again plays in a tournament: Pt. 4

    So how did the Everlasting Torment treat you? Goblin outlander should help against RGW, as would Grixis Grimblade (but not as much as the Outlander). Outlander appears to block about every creature in the format... But you might have been unlucky that your opponent didn't run any nonbasics. Very...

    Discard/bounce pain deck.

    Underworld dreams, Memory jar, Magus of the jar, Windfall, the black Honden (coupled with the blue one), Teferi's puzzle box, Syphon mind and soul (for multiplayer), Mindslicer (plus Cabal therapy obviously) Urza's guilt... Some newer stuff: Raven's crime (repeatable discard), Rotting rats, and...

    My Blightning/Sygg Deck

    No, 4 Everlasting Torments seem like a lot. Try two first, with another 1 or 2 in the SB, and add the 4th Volcanic Fallout and Incinerate. You need the Everlasting torments together with direct damage.

    "Plane Cards"?

    Oversized sucks, you can't keep it in a deckbox. But you can put more text on them. I dislike d6 randomness though.

    My Blightning/Sygg Deck

    Then perhaps it's worth a try. You could move the Terminates to the SB and maximize direct damage and Volcanic Fallouts.

    My Blightning/Sygg Deck

    Well, that's metagaming. If you expect to play a lot of decks with lifegain or BFT, then yes, that might make sense.

    My Blightning/Sygg Deck

    I think you should Everlasting Torment in your sideboard.
  16. Shabbaman

    My Blightning/Sygg Deck

    Hm. Somehow I thought Sygg was River Kelpie, and I thought your deck was pretty clever. However, now I know Sygg isn't River Kelpie, and now I'm not very impressed ;) I don't think Sygg is great. I can imagine you can draw some cards off of it, but you really have to make it work. You can only...

    My Blightning/Sygg Deck

    Why don't you run Shambling remains instead of Ashenmoor Gouger?

    Ransac plays in yet ANOTHER tourney

    Anathemancers are so great in this deck. I love the card, it let's you smash all those fancy expensive mana bases. And it's a zombie, hurray. Why don't you run Terminate? Perhaps you should tweak your numbers a bit, all those 3-ofs point to sloppy deckbuilding ;) I mean, you should be able to...

    Bounce/Blinking Deck

    I found this in Alara reborn: Nulltread Gargantuan 1UG Uncommon When Nulltread Gargantuan comes into play, return a creature you control to the top of its owner's library. 5/6 It isn't a definite match, as it doesn't return cards to your hand. But it does return creatures from play, it's...
