LOLOLOL u saw the title and i got your interest huh??! xD alright i will bug you again and again
I think the biggest issue with the deck right now is that you have it set up more like a mill deck that has some nifty tricks than a true Extraction. I would try to venture away from that path and instead focus more on disruption, lockout/lockdown, and and sort of controlling "wall" that allows you to, as my buddy WnB put it, "sit on a throne". One thing I want to point out to you though, since I noticed it in your deck description, is that Extraction is not a cheap deck type. More often than not, these things burn a substantial hole in your wallet =/ If you're already having a hard time with the huge cost of this thing, I honestly would suggest you turn to having this in a proxy form until you are positive you want to and can afford to shell out the money. Another thing I want to mention, though you've already probably figured this out, is that Extraction has one hell of a learning curve. I think a large part of my skill with it comes from the fact that I've been playing for a very, very long time. I'm always thrilled to see someone giving it a try though, so I'll be sure to help out where ever I can =]
right to the point dude. The initial concept of this deck is mill&extract, but there's just way to many counters for it to work. So, I figure a disruption deck with extraction(and a bit of mill would work) but sadly, it doesn't. Oh and by "wall" do you mean like nighthawk? wall of denial(i think it could work :/) but i have NO idea what to take out since this is pretty much the best list i can come up with (i suck at extraction; took me about 2 months to properly play this deck without regretting every spell that i misplayed). It would be nice if you can tell me what i should remove and put in(don't worry about price since ima proxy it for now like you suggested and keep it modern) since you're the only one i know that plays extraction xD This deck is THE most expensive deck i've ever built. All my other decks cost less than 200$ to make it good, but i had to sell 2 goyf 2 gaea's cradle and my whole elf deck to cover half of this deck -.- but since chinese new year came along and stuff, i finally decide to buy the cards i needed. I can't really afford anymore cards since video games and girlfriend is like draining my wallet >..> i also got a question, does playing extraction draws alot of hate? cuz my cousin and his friends(magic group) doesn't even want to play since they call this a "dick deck" so im unsure of whether to continue modding the deck or just give up since what's the point of building an expensive deck when no one wants to play it....
Lol, extraction is either hated or misunderstood depending on how well you play it and how well the deck is designed. If you screw up a lot then it is misunderstood, and everyone questions why you have certain spells in your deck. I played standard extraction in the last few weeks with zendikar around and got that reaction until I managed to extract the best player at our FNM (by best I mean uses the "best" standard deck in the pro tournament) into the ground. Then I got hated xD
Now, let me think about my extraction deck and what you could use... well first thing that comes to mind is against rush with white there is "timely reinforcements" 6 health and 3 blockers is good, on the other hand I loved using kozilek's inquisition to deal with any early threats before they happened, plus if there was card twice or if really lucky 3 times I would extract it with surgical, things that got on the board were generally black sun's zenith'ed away. And my win condition was quite simple, I win because you cant, and because you cant draw X cards (Blue Sun's Zenith for a Mill win). Look around in the zendikar blocks. Has to have been one of the most powerful sets in recent memory. So, cards for you to look at. Inquisition of Kozilek Sadistic Sacrament (exile 3 for 3 or 15 with expensive kicker) Black Sun's Zenith (reuse-able mass removal) Guard Gomazoa (1/3 combat damage prevented) Wall of Denial (0/8 shroud flying? lol) Marrow Shards (Anti-Rush) Halimar Depths (Legal Ponder in land form......) Oust (1 white mana delay against a creature, and I cannot stress delay, it is like timewalking) Jace Beleren (if you have room, this is some card draw...) Thunderstaff (anti rush, prevents attacking creatures 1 damage) Silence Dichotomancy (gets things out of their library onto your side of the game, wall and denial) Cryptic Command... Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir (they cannot play spells except sorcery speed) Evacuate (all creatures to hands, legal?) Scared Burial (all creatures on bottem of library) Dash Hopes and Temporal Extortion work well if used together but I think you would have to drop a color for that... Darkness (Black Fog, timeshifted) Sudden Spoiling (split second his creatures are all 0/2 and abilityless) Silent Arbiter makes it so only one creature can attack or block each turn. Perfect with big walls. Thats what springs to mind, some of that list isnt strictly for extraction and I am sure that "surewhynot" might point out several better cards but I have only played extractor recently, I am not a great expert. @Surewhynot, yes the learning curve is BRUTAL. Augh.
urborg tomb of yawgmoth, great for giving everyone swamps.
Just reminding myself here that I need to respond to all this stuff. Really busy atm though, sorry =/
