agoraphobia is going in my deck forsure, that shit is absolutely nasty. gift of immortality would be nasty too, like damn. im having a rough time in blue/back defending him from a supreme virdict, maybe white is the way to go because of rootborn defenses.

ahh youre right about hidden strings, but then again, i think it will still be strong with pretty much running 8 agents with artisian in the deck. but youre right, thats a bummer lol. i knew cipher wouldnt trigger, but i was definately hoping i could do it on the same creature 2 times, but even still, playing that card for free and doing other things with it seems powerful. like, attack with agent, get in, cast the copy, untap it for practically vigilance + sac a creature.
i edited the link in my first comment! thanks alot man
goddamn man! i may try agoraphobia in a build im doing! i have a list up if you dont mind checking it out! thanks for putting this idea out there! (:-infact dawg, please check out my deck! http://www.mtgvault.com/powdereddonut/decks/blueblack-heroic-standard/i do a little something with a card called hidden strings that i think youre gonna like!
screecher is a great 2 drop, and he totally fills the spot of a 2 drop and allows you to double extort. my pleasure man! i know id want feedback on my decks too.
thrull parasite is a great 1 drop, i think you got that, plus it gave you devotion and extort all on turn 1, those are both focuses you have. i almost wanna say run more 1 drops too, and the obvious would be cackler for a more aggro 1 drop, just to have him, so then if you have your parasite and then a cackler, you can unleash and extort, and thats just pretty badass presence already. so for a 3 drop, agent of the fates looks good, but i think youre gonna wanna make him do alot of work, or maybe not, maybe hes just a good black 3 drop. he makes boon look alright, and i guess losing that 2 life makes sense since youre gaining. so maybe boon is actually a great choice! hell, make it a 4 of. crypt ghast will make everything easier to extort after early game, and make casting desecration demon and gray merchant of asphodel alot easier, even letting you extort them. as for evertything else in the creature zone, the only one that could be a maybe if you really want a 2 drop is the screecher. everything else can be taken out for (what i would do,) more removal. youre playing mono black, may aswell kill absolutley everything that touches the board.im not a great deck builder, nor a good player, but i think slimming it down would make this deck a fucking powerhouse. its all about testing though.
too many 1 of's. pick like 4 or 5 of the best creatures and run 4 of each. idk, i can just see this deck not reaching consistency. id also say instead of boon, try deviant glee, that will contribute to your devotion and pretty much do the same thing.
why pit fight and not prey upon? dont kill me, just curious, i understand ones instant and one is sorcery.
beautiful.
yeah man, considered adding it. wouldnt know what to take out. thanks for the comment!
i like it. im sitting here trying to splash blue for cackling counterpart, but its been giving me trouble. this is a pretty damn good list though.
fucking love the idea. just, youre gonna wait 10 turns to play omniscience then play everything? most decks get you in 10 turns...unless im missing something to get omniscience out quick...
it looks fairly good, how does it do usually? im running something fairly similar, but im getting quite frustrated.
