have toyed with assault formation myself, no Benthic infiltrator? with formation out he is a 4/4 unblockable!

If purphoros is too expensive and you are worried about rotation I would consider impact tremors as a budget replacement that will not be rotating any time soon :)

To combine with the impact tremor and dash synergy have you thought of Outpost Siege as well (khans mode)? Combined with dash you will get the trigger off impact tremors and the trigger off Siege plus whatever damage the dashing creature will do.

was thinking that or the new enchantment that gives -2/-2 to tokens

I have been trying to brew a budget Shu Yun deck for ages, can not seem to settle on a list yet. Anyway just wanted to say that Shu Yun turns Denial into a hard counter, his prowess would trigger when you cast the spell and then when denial checks for ferocious Shu Yun would have a power of 4.

I would main deck Stubborn Denial in any deck that runs Shu Yun :)

Urborg turns on the removal for your opponent if they are running black, I would have no such problems being mono coloured :)

No probs Gothy, had a look at the article. It was a nice read and covers all the important bits for getting into the competative scene. Glad its getting a good response :)

Thats an idea will trial 2 as the deck doesn't have a lot going for turn 2 :)

Not tested yet, will take to FNM this week

rough draft of version two

still working on sideboard

Thanks you for the comments, I am actually thinking of dropping the leeches which will allow me to run more removal. I like the main board dorwn in sorrow as it hits many different targets, it can be crux's 5-6 against aggro decks.

Still tweaking but will think this will only come out for FNM and I will stick with U/B for proper events.

Well done for getting to the semis. Hopefully Lady luck will be kinder to me next time lol

Well 2-4 for the day, match one I was mana screwed then game two did not see a single piece of removal. After that it was downhill, just didn't get the breaks, Palace siege is an all star though a single one resolved won me a couple of games over the day.

For tweaks I think I will be removing the leeches and relying on Siege and Ugin as win cone, will probably max out on discard as well as not being able to respond to spells was a bit frustrating (especially coming from playing a u/b deck prior to this event)

Will tweak and update the deck after some thoughts :)

Yup, Kind of married to that two life for the aggro matchup, looks like my cuts will be held until rotation lol

Have tweaked the deck, moved Gary to the sideboard as he has been better as a surprise factor game 2, sideboard has been tweaked as well to include Empty the pits and Stain the mind.

Really wanted Murderous cut in the 75 somewhere if anyone can think of what to cut let me know :)

Will report back after Sunday on how the PPTQ went.

I like the deck but feel that the 2 negate from the side should be mainboard material, maybe move a PLA and Silumgar to the side. Also any reason for no Silence the Believers? Deals with the odd god that may turn up and also deals with that phoenix from Fate Reforged that keeps recurring.

Thank you all, will be testing this week for the PPTQ on Sunday. Determined to stick with this deck and not chicken out and switch to U/B control lol

I like the card and maybe deserves a place in the side, not too sure how useful a 1 of copy would be though?

Hopefully some testing this week will refine the deck a little, I always welcome input on my decks so thank you :) and thanks for the wishes for the weekend :)
