Deck Description

“Think’st thou that I who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joy of heaven
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?
O Faustus, leave these frivolous demands
Which strikes a terror to my fainting soul!”
- Mephistopheles

Master of the Feast is the best thing to come out of the Theros set for Stox, in quite a myriad of ways. It's tutorable, it's a beatstick on par with Tombstalker, and the drawback for them works so well in conjunction with Chains of Mephistopheles that it's wondrously dreadful.

Deck discussion for leave these frivolous demands

One of my favorite quotes of all time, so +1 interwebz for you good sir. Fatso the demon is so remarkably good for Elmer's Pox it makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. It can be found with ET! THAT'S CRAZY!

This might be one of the few instances where I suggest at least trying out a fourth Enlightened Tutor.

You know I'm actually a bit surprised by that, I never really would have pictured you as one to enjoy Faustus. I don't know why though, it's one of the most amazing things ever penned.

I know! It's as close to anything has come to feeling like it was printed with this manner of thing in mind.
And then that it can be found with ET?

A fourth Enlightened Tutor would be a bit much, for whatever reason five is a terrible number for me when it comes to tutors outside of combo. And after toying around with the idea of not playing Entomb at all, I can't bring myself to do it. It's just the perfect amount of assurance for whatever reason, I have no maths, or anything of the sort to back it up, just that it fits my playstyle best this way.

I'd like to say, that I'm not an educated man, but dang that phrase is just something of the most perfect diabolically sentence I may ever have read. Bear in mind that I'm not a religious man, but that there... ;0_ó'

On the deck, I think a pair of 'Path to Exile' would fit beautifully, by that, you're making them draw extra, ergo; they need to cast more in order not to discard. With Winter Orb out, you basically remove a critter for naught

Any way there's a +1 from me for this gem. Good job, Jens

Faustus has a load of gems like that, and the story to it is absolutely phenomenal. I'm not religious either, but that story is just so wonderful, and that quote in particular is one of the best.

Path to Exile would be an interesting choice, but even with the mana denial, I still would rather have them draw a land that they know won't last than offer them an escape. It is a very tempting idea though, I might have to try it some time.
One of the big wins about the removal is that none of it targets. It provides a certain psychological edge, and allows me to eat up TNN with ease.

Hey buuuuuddy...I once again ask of your opinion in regards to my 30th EDH (Sygg just wasn't working).

<___< and anyone else who wants to add their opinion too.
