What was your motto again ... "you suffa"? I was just referencing the fact that you love death and destruction. :)

Hey now .. Phage the Untouchable and Bazaar Trader is just plain cruel! In fact, you could give your opponent all manner of nasty creatures. Pit Lord, anyone?

You WOULD bring up necromancy. :)

I want to take the solar bloodline sometime ... because infinite good maneuverability flying is insanely awesome.

Taste the rainbow .... literally!

Sure! There's got to be white counterpart to gloom ... you know, like tsunami or something ... I'll keep looking.

I think this deck hates on all colors, except blue.

Bring phyresis, glistening oil, tainted strike ... and even dedicated damage prevention decks don't stand a chance.

In reflection ... you might want to bring some more infect to destroy white lifegain decks ... in fact, all white decks, since blocking your creatures is impossible.

Tainted Strike, for example. That's 3 infect damage if you put it on a 2/2 creature ... 6 if you have unholy strength.

I'm flattered at your title!

Hmm ... challenge accepted. A whole lot of lifegain/damage prevention might do the trick. Though it might have to specifically target this deck ....

And here we go:

'Nuff said.

LOL, that's great!

Oh ... Gloom is probably the meanest black card I've ever seen. It will completely and utterly screw over a white player from the turn it is played on ... and if it's out on turn 2 due to a well-placed dark ritual ....

And there are no freaking enchantments ... Gloom almost doesn't count as a liability, because it costs at least 4 mana to remove.

Poor buzz ... "not a flying toy".

What ... you mean you'd pull a naturalize on me?! NOOOOOO ... you have no idea how long it takes to polish armor!

Hmm ... take improved counterspell, then. Think of Golems as walking anti-magic. :)

As for battlefield control ... the abjuration school is heavy on defense, while the illusion school is obviously what Jace is a part of. ;P

Got it!

Patagia Golem

Sure thing!

True ... but I would prefer another 2 mana spell over 1 architect. This IS control, after all :).

I would like another Dimir Infiltrator ...

Oh ... one more thing. I checked, and I have martial weapon efficiency ... so that's a longsword, not a mace. :)

Sorcerers look pretty awesome ... especially with bloodlines. Being half-angelic is way cooler than being a cleric ... 'cause you get wings! If only it affected aging!

I think that wizards are most effective as item creators. They can craft wands and staffs and scrolls for non-magic users to wield, plus they might craft a Golem ... and those things are awesome. I think the coolest part of being a mage is having a familiar.

That's bounce ... on a stick.

I understand you have a lot of deck search (11 transmute spells to be exact), but running another mindcrank in place of one Architects of Will might not be a bad idea. It's safer to drop than dusk mantle guildmage, and works nicely with Dimir Infiltrator and ... a lot of your instants.

I love the power of the transmute ability in this deck, which allows you to find whatever you happen to need. And that combo is just ... pure evil. I love it!
