i had the same question. thanks for the clarification ninjastyle

He is refusing compliance. Send in the Sky Hussars.

can do. i will post results after getting the deck assembled and much playtesting. im hoping to make many enemies the next time i go to game day };>

ok i kept mortars, slaughter games, needle, and burning earth. as for the rest...

in regards to bile blight, i have ratchet bomb. either or works since i have plenty of both.
wasnt sure about the charm. may still add it back just in case
cant afford thoughtseize and dont really like duress. too narrow of a window.
may add the whip back in. still debating that
doom blade and dark betrayal are still being deliverated on because the meta here is either mono-black or everything but black

Ok for the Master/Guildmage combo, read this rulings taken verbatim from Gatherer on 4/15/2013:

For a player's life total to become 1, what actually happens is that the player loses (or in some rare cases, gains) the appropriate amount of life. For example, if the player's life total is 4 when the last ability resolves, it will cause that player to lose 3 life. Other effects that interact with life loss (or gain) will interact with this effect accordingly.

You were saying?

ok i did some minor tweaking. i put burning earth in my SB for now, but im not getting rid of it. dropped a few other cards down to get the deck to 60. now i would like actual SB help

first off, the deck IS finished. DD is great, but i want rakdos in here for his trample. guildmage is a good include because i can use it to ping someont after making master unblockable with a rouge's passage. i included burning earth because while i may be running nonbasics myself, im not afraid of taking a little pain is i can dish it out faster than i take it, especially since i played way too many people running only temples and shocklands. havoc festival has saved my bacon more tmes than i can count against many different deck types, and sinister possesion is good for an early hoplite.

i built the deck to work the way i wanted it to. i want my SB to be able to pick up my slack against things i have issues with. if i wanted help with the main body of the deck, i would've asked. so unless you have inputs on my SB, i dont really want any more suggestions thanks

i use all of those sans parallel lives in my own elf deck. they help a ton, especially the magistrate's ability with a warcaller out

yeah its on my list of things to consider. thanks for the help :D

surewhynot, i didnt even think about that. im now going to add a full set of panoptic mirror to my deck build rofl

i like it. i think you should go with the lifegain because a lot of people seem to favor black, red, blue right now. be different lol

i like it, but i think you should have a bit more green to augment nylea's disciple. also, Hero's Reunion is PERFECT for this

hahaha im actaully working on a deck that uses shahrazad and enter the dungeon to go into subgame inception. i have a feeling it would make many of my friends rage-quit

flip a coin? if you have the link for your slesnya deck then post it here and i will give you my opinion on which one to take

now THAT is a piece of sexy :D

i agree completely. abberation and phenax is like the mill combo from the 9th circle of hell

glimpse is more expensive in terms of money. $26 vs $1? i think i will go with breaking, especially since this is a standard deck

i like Shahrazad. always a good way to really piss someone off :D

swap out the guildgates for the temple of malice. a turn 1 scry is so insanely useful its ridiculous. i run a full set in my minotaur deck and it helps me get to essential cards faster

yeah i was going to try and see about using prolifereate with the contagion artifacts and perhaps thrummingbird
