goal of this deck is simple:flip Delver 2.0 a.k.a. Thing in the ice as soon as possible.ideal play is turn 1 watery grave then delver,turn 2 swamp then play thing in the ice, and swing with insectile aberrationturn 3 play vampire hexmage, sacrifice it to remove the counters from Thing in the ice, the play gitaxian probe to flip it and check to see if you are clear to swing free.holding an island open for spell pierce or apostle's blessing. if nothing comes then laying delver again.turn 4, swing for ten, which is lethal.after that... you should have no problem controlling the board at that point, and winning the game as a result shortly after.

I'm not 100% sure Vampire Hexmage will flip Thing in the Ice. "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, remove an ice counter from Thing in the Ice. Then, if it has no ice counters on it, transform it."The "Then if" part of its transformation has me concerned about the interaction with Hexmage's removal effect. The clause has me thinking that the last counter removed must be done via its own ability for it to transform. I could be wrong though and Hexmage does allow it to flip, just saying that a ruling may be required.

hm... this is certainly worth checking into. If not.. then hexmage gets dropped for something else.EDIT: ok, looks like it won't flip it just by using hexmage. BUT!!! if I then play an instant or sorcery after that, it does flip. so if I play gitaxian probe after sacing hexmage I still get the turn three 7/8 board wipe. most excellent.

I just double checked, just to be sure, and you're right. Now I have even more reason to get Thing in the Ice. Hunted Horror would be worth considering too. Thing in the Ice won't bounce it, but will bounce the centaurs it creates.
Indeed. Hunted horror wround go really well with and against thing in the ice. :)In fact I heard the it has spiked in price already, just because of that.
Good thing I already have a set of Hunted Horror :D
Lol... Yup, good thing. :)
I really like this one... +1 from me
Thanks. Thing on the ice just looks so good... Can't wait til it is available. :)
