I can think of nothing that better suits BGx than the idea of the hate week, and thus the name. Stewie was a nice little bonus too, which suited my mood after making this work even if only at this level.

BG Poxless Pox, oh how I love you.

this list is bad ass.
your mana curve is killing it though, and your only 2 colors. is 4 birds necessary?

The curve is the problem I really have here, the deck is based off of the Legacy deck I made, and without Mox Diamond my best option really is the a playset of birds to adjust. Two colors makes it easier to run Ghost Quarter, which is pretty handy right now considering people are out brewing Valakut in force.

The real thing this deck has done for me is that it made me work with the idea of playing Wrench Mind, which while a sad replacement for Hymn to Tourach, it's better than the other alternatives in that slot.

the beauty of hymn is that random effect.
i cant count the amount of times iv had hymn played on me and in my hand of 5-7 cards that random effect manages to get exactly what i need >:[ wrench mind isnt bad though, and is still technically card advantage so i cant argue with that.

but ok ok, i can see birds rounding this out a little bit. cant argue with ramping into liliana or helping out with abrupt decay/ ghast/ wrench mind casting costs. on top of other things

something is confusing me. it says theres 6, 3 mana cards in the curve.
iv been staring at this list for a few minutes and i only see liliana costing 3..
am i going crazy?

Indeed, I've been shut out of games that I'd no business being shut out of because a Hymn took out my Reanimation spells by random chance...

Wrench Mind is the closest thing I can get, and I really want the numbers advantage on at least one slot.

Yup, the birds are the word here. I'd still rather Mox Diamond, but that isn't going to happen.

The system doesn't understand split mana symbols very well, so it counts Deathrite Shaman as a three cost for some reason.
