I knew of Fertilid and Mornsong (I mentioned them), but did not know of Collective Voyage...but the opponent can choose not to search his library if he pays 0 mana, right?

So really, there are only two cards in magic that force opponent to search his library....which limits Ob Nixilis.

Mindslaver does work. Thanks magicmaster13 for searching that one out! But...only issue I now see with that is: IF i control my opponent's turn...i still have to make him search his library. If he has no search engines...then it won't work. If he does have search engines, it would be game over, for sure!!! And you are right, Puschkin, the "may search" cards will never really be useful (for Ob Nixilis) because your opponent will choose not to use them.

I might try to make the deck, as limited as it was. I wanted to try to be original and make a deck around a new M15 card, and the Ob Nixilis one looked promising.

Thanks Puschkin (as always) and magicmaster13!

KnightoftheHokeyPokey....you are a young fellow, but are very smart with your comments. I wish I could upvote your comment 5 more times!!!

So many of the hot decks are one hit wonders. They run hardly any threat removal.
This is my FAVORITE line from Standard players, "I don't run any artifact/enchantment hate in my deck, no one does."

Apparently, they do not make game changing Artifact/Enchantment cards like Moat/Propaganda/Ensnaring Bridge anymore.
Standard is all about over powered creature cards, i guess.

Damn cancer!!!

Nope.

But, this deck is another prime example of why Serra's Sanctum skyrocketed in price...and why Sanctum is no longer the worst Urza's Sage Legend Land.

Again, not stated, but I am guessing this deck is Modern?
Would consider sideboarding enchantment/artifact hate.

What expansion are you trying to keep this legal in?
Modern? Stating that goes a long way being able to help you.

I enjoyed this one!!!
Not sure why your post was downvoted. I fixed that!
I liked the deck and suggested a card or two.

Maybe some sort of powerful pump for an attack....even though you do have counters pumping up the creatures.
I mean, something like Overrun. In this deck, it could be game over. But it isn't absolutely necessary. Not with the counter pumps.

Love the Miracle cost to Blessing of Nature!
And you have mana ramp via Explore.
Draw power via Curiosity.
Aqueous Form on a hexproof creature seems solid.
Finally, the strive cards and Battlefield Thaumaturge is very pretty!!

Only fear I have, is opponent casting something like Damnation on you. It would go through your hexproof. That would suck! Might try to find room for Cancel. Maybe lower one forest, one curiosity, and one Thaumatage/Stalker...and run 3 Cancels.

Definitely like this one!

Pretty sure (99 percent) that there is a card that let's you take your opponent's turn. Just forgot the name of it. I think there is more than one card that does that.
Sorin Markov is one of them.

3 it is.
How do you like the deck?
The mana is expensive (have cards that pump the mana)...but the combos, if i get them off, are very nice!

Example: Opponent has 5 lands in play
You play, in order, Dingus Egg, Nature's Revolt, Massacre Wurm.
Opponent sacks all 5 lands and loses 20 life.

Another Example: Opponent has 5 lands in play
You play, in order, Dingus Egg, Living Plane, Screams of Pain
Opponent sacks all 5 lands and loses 10 life.

Yet another Example: Opponent has 5 lands in play
You play, in order, Dingus Egg, Living Plane, Massacre Wurm
Opponent sacks all 5 lands and loses 20 life.

That isn't even counting the Ob Nixilis combo.
That combo can do 15 damage to your opponent and give you an 18/18 creature.

Nuking all of your opponent's lands is fun!
So is a 18/18 creature.
And so is causing 20 points of damage for 4 mana!

Tell me what you guys think!!!
Too many combos in one deck?
Should I lower it to 2 Combos, and add more supporting cards?
Or should I add the 4th Combo, and if so, what should I reduce/take out?

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled.

New M15 card. I want to make a deck around him...namely, making my opponent search his library (thus doing 10 damage to himself)...but i can't find cards that make opponent search his own library.

Thing is, Fertilid is the only card in Magic I can find.

Even with Ob Nixilis in play, Fertilid can kill the opponent with 4 mana.

Thing is, with only one card that makes opponent search his library...Ob Nixilis is iffy, you know what i mean?
Isn't there cards that make you/opponent copy a spell?
So, if i used 2 mana to take a counter off of Fertilid, to make opponent search his library (thus, via Ob Nixilis, losing 10 life) could I copy that spell?

Again, it seems very iffy.

At best, with these two cards as my only win condition (i don't have to tell such a balanced player/deck builder how weak that is):

Turn1. Birds of Paradise
Turn2. Sylvan Caryatid
Turn 3. Dark Ritual into Ob Nix.
Turn 4. Fertilid, pay 4 mana to make opponent search library twice (20 damage).

That crap will never happen against a good player. Doom Blade, Counter, Lightning Bolt, etc etc etc.

You see a way to make Ob Nix viable?

What about Maralen of the Mornsong?

Welcome back Northy. You were missed! Expecting to see some awesome new budget decks. I think M15 is Standard now...or very soon. Maybe you could do a few budget decks with that expansion.

My wife is talking about trying to get back into Magic...with the budget blue fairy deck you designed for her.

Need advice, you always give good advice, on this deck...it was one of my first decks I made.
