Milling, that's Grindstone plus Painter's servant or Leyline of the void plus Helm of Obedience.

Pfff, US and Canada only...

You want more creatures or less? Fleshbag marauder is Innocent blood on a stick, it'd be great with Debtor's knell. Another idea for such a deck I encountered recently (a nice read btw) that revolved around getting a lot of mana with Cabal coffers. This worked through Living wish and Sylvan...

It's just a Pyknite with flying. Pyknite rocks ;)

How can you say that? Dystopia is awesome, as it was one of the few ways for monoblack to get rid of things like Karma. It was a tutorable singleton or sideboard staple in my deck for ages. Thought Lash on the other hand is so bad I don't want to even consider another card for nomination, out of...

It's still effectively leagues better than Melting, which only use is obsoleting Snowfall.

I fully agree. BTW, I have full sets for 2001 through 2004, and the Finkel deck from 2000. That's 17 decks. Within the same "set" you can easily play each other. I'd love to have the missing decks. The other decks from 2000 seem pretty rare. Apparently these decks are boxed so that there are...

Why wouldn't you want to run all 8 duals? The deck relies on both colors. As for fetches, well, same story. But instead of fetches we could run something like Eternal dragon, a plainscycler (that'll also fetch duals). Cut both disenchants and two basic lands and add 4 landcyclers.

Paying for cumulative upkeep, probably.

You could play persist with graft creatures. I have a set of Cytoplast Root-kins laying around for ages, could be a deck idea. Another noteworthy creature is Forgotten ancient. Good in itself, but it lets you distribute the +1/+1 counters to your persist creatures. And there's always Power conduit.

They make beautiful proxies. A lot of vintage tournaments allow proxies. Sure, it's not the real thing, but playing with proxies allow you to play games you wouldn't play otherwise. I'm not opposed to it. If you're pretending to play real cards you are a douchebag though. Until two years ago...

I think Oversoul perfectly explained why a vote for Snowfall is a wasted vote. Snowfall has it's uses; the only use Melting has is to use Snowfall. Now that is one narrow card... Melting sucks. Melting is the kind of card you hope your opponent has in his deck.

It could use some lands... 2 Godless shrine to start with. 4x Ajani Goldmane 2x Soul Warden 2x Dawnfluke 3x Savannah Lions 2x White Knight 2x Angel of Despair 2x Deathbringer Liege 2x Exalted Angel 2x Necroskitter 4x Vindicate 2x Mortify 2x Disenchant 1x Wrath of God 1x Ghost Council of...

Are you nitpicking on purpose? Just build a deck in the colors black, red and green with a lot of sacrifice abilities and creatures with persist. GET ON WITH IT! P.S. I hope you guys are familiar with Monty Python...

Indeed. "We" did it when we recently moved to our new vB forum. It didn't quite have the effect I was hoping for, but any regular you might get back is a victory in itself. Isn't there some massive CPA birthday coming up or something?

There might be a whole lot of members that are still playing but aren't active on the forum anymore. Instead of a "membership drive", wouldn't it pay off to get these members back in active duty? Some boards spam me periodically when I haven't posted in a while (I hate that, grrr), and vBulletin...

Great theme! What format? "Casual"? I'm a little short on time, but to start with I'll share my EDH deck, plenty of sacrificing going on there... I think Quillspike + Puppeteer clique (with an outlet and the general in play, heheheh) is my favorite persist trick. Quillspike is pretty much the...

That's because most people rather post threads in the casual fora of SCG and MTGsalvation and get responses like "needs more Tarmogoyf" then post a thread here and have a solid discussion.

I'll change the shortfangs with another two wisps. The deck is low on creatures already, but flying regenerating blockers should be fine with Earthquake and Disk. 4x Liliana Vess 4x Will o' the Wisp 4x Hypnotic Specter 2x Blazing Specter 1x Cao Cao, Lord of Wei 1x Stinkweed Imp 1x...
