Thanks! :)

Yeah... at times, Evolving Wilds could save the stability of the game... It is the only land that could "produce" all 3 colors in the deck... ...Also, with it, I'll have a little more basic & so the duals will enter untapped...

I play 2 copies, 'cuz it's a bit slow, but good for a 1st turn drop & at the very few times, when I would lack the colors in the early game, it helpes me out big time!..

In a control deck, like this, it's not essencial to play a fast game, so theese 2 copies R about perfect for me... :)

Thanx 4 the question!..

With Snapcaster, the opponent is forced to use Rest in Peace, but since there is no other reason for him/her to do that, the player will have to have 3-4 cards in his/her deck that doesn't do much against me, since this isn't a grave deck... :)

No1 likes the Demon & yet they don't C, that with this many removal, the opponent will have no creatures to sacrifice... Still, if he or she does, I still get to remove 1 creature/turn by to my opponents choise... Against strong token decks, I'd side the Demon out tho...

The Militant is a Thiny little creature, that I shot down, or destroy, or in worst case, return to my opponents hand, so it won't effect the game much... :)

Still... Good thinking!.. ...but I have thought of everything :) ...

That is truely fast, but not stabil in a competative circle... I have a Planeswalker with cmc 5 enter with 3 counters... It could either get instantly shot be4 I could use any abillity, or destroyed be4 my next turn...

Not a bad idea, but Garruk wouldn't be much help in my location, or any other I usually play at...

Relentless however is pretty good with the Veil Cured's deathtouch tokens :) ... I'm gonna' remove Growing Ranks & add 1... I'm thinking about dropping 1 Deliverance for a 2nd1, but I doubt it...

Thank for the help! :)

I'd put maximum 1 Tamiyo in this1 & rather remove an Oblivion Ring... The idea is good... I have thought of it, but considered Tamiyo a little bit slow... I have to think on this...

Skyknight is better in this deck, than it is in others & I don't need the flickers & I can't even insert any... The Skyknight is 3 copies of 16 cards total that could clean the way for the Geist... There is Cyclonic Rift & Azorius Charm to instantly remove the blocker & there is Detention Sphere, Oblivion Ring & Lyev Skyknight for the same priority... Also... With this much control, Lyev could also finish the game at some point as a flyer with power 3...

Thanx again, I'll highly reconsider Tamiyo!..

Not bad for a 1st try! :)

Don't use Devil's play, nor Think Twice... Both worthless... Think Twice is good, when U play multiple miracles, but not here...

Use only 3 Dissipates in the main deck, put Zealous in the sides(1-2 copies) & play some finishers, like Thundermaw Hellkite, or Niv...

Your style at making a 2-color deck's mana base in todayes standard matches mine completely... :))

Use 2-3 Cyclonic Rift & 3-4 Snapcaster total!..


Here is the deck I'm working on right now: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748

There R 3 of my decks at top decks... A selesnya, a Grixis & an Azorius... Check, if U R interested...

Thanks again!.. :)

I can't decide if building a deck, or playing the game itselfe is what I like in this the most...

I'm probably going to clean sweep on friday & it's because of the good suggestions I got here... :)

I'm going to remamber now... ...don't worry about that! :)

More top decks R coming pretty soon!.. :)

Yup! ...& it's a great deal for the Troll as well, expecially in the late game... 4 counters :) ...

U R right about the Slips & Grimgrin, but I only have 1 Grim.... We'll C how I deal with this...

I ment from the latest 15, that U can C when U tune in... :)

I remember U had 145...

I also had 218, that's my record... Not much I guess... There R decks with over 600 "likes"...

Theese things doesn't matter much, I just like to have my decks known & to have others opinions in how to perfect 'em...

Since I'm on this site, for about the past 6 months, I haven't lost a tournament... So this stuff helps me a lot...

I've played 23 FNM-s & 1 Grand Prix since & I've won it all... :)

It's thanx for U guyes in about 40%!..

What I take from among your advices is taking Endless Ranks out, but I donno' if I should use a 3rd Dreg Mangler, or a 2nd Grimgrin... Probably a 3rd Dreg......

Slitherhead is awesome with the Troll & very nice with Grimgrin as well... It's essencial & it doesn't matter I don't play Corpsejack... My victory won't be decided on how many counters I place on my creatures by scavange, 'cuz I don't play much of it...

Thanks for your suggestions!.. I'll check your decks...

Thanks for your suggestions!..

I disagree with what U said for my planeswalker & evasion...

Vraska & the evasion spells R exactly against mass removal... I lose my zombies & than play Vraska, get the assassins & strike in by evasion... :)

This deck is only 37% about grave & that is why it's impossible to prepare for intierly...

Cackler is a shit.ie card, no matter what anyboddy would say...

Slitherhead is good for both the Troll & GrimGrin... It's an amazing card...

I've had a lot of people suggest me the same thing for a single deck many times & I realized that it only proves that they R average builders, who follows what said to be effective... For example, they suggest Thragtusk for about any deck that contains green & white &/or blue... ...no matter I didn't play flicker spells, only populate & in that case, Armada Wurm was way better...

Anywayes... THX again!.. :)

Not bad, but refer to this as tournament quality is a little naiv... ...sorry for sayin'...

Well, it depends on how strong R the players in your location... In my place, U have to be ready for anything & everything... Need enough "medicine" for every weakness your deck could encounter, 'cuz U probably gonna' face each of 'em...

The Snap is not so good for this deck...

It's hard to end the game with this deck, 'cuz U have some flying tokens & boosts, but if the opponent playes some mass removal, U gonna' end up with about no options after he/she used a 2nd1...

Drop 1 Augor, Negate & Ultimate Price - (since the last 2 should be sideboards) - & put in 3 Entreat the Angel...
...those could do the trick after a huge blast...

Drop Alchemy & put 2 Rootborn in your main deck!..

U could use some Azorius Charm as well... Or may be 2-3 Index...

Check my Azorius control at top decks "Detention, Destruction & Judgment", above it, there is my Grixis control, if U R interested... I also have a Selesnya Populate at top decks...

Check wich U feel like checkin'... :)

A have another deck I'm working on... For this I definiatly need help to perfect... I need some opinions...

Nice thinking... Good luck with your version & be sure to link it to me somewhere, when it's done!!. :)

However, my deck is not about flicking, so Thragtusk wouldn't be much use...

Counterpart is great with Armada, but it would be the only creature I'd use it on, so I rather play Parallel Lives to incraise the amount of creaturs I get... It's also permanent, so everything I play after that gives me tokens R gonna' doublicate... ...until they destroy it, of course...

THX 4 YO' suggestions! I think I'm taking out 1 Lyev & play 1 more Smiter...

THX for your suggestion! :)

I know that combo, Hayne used to do that & it's devastating...

Still, I don't think I need that, 'cuz my victory with this deck doesn't depend on speed, only that I control the board, avoid weakening spells & keep my finishers alive...

1 would be good, but at this point, I don't think I could drop anything to insert it...

This is not casual, but standard...

I'd suggest of course to use 4 Hallowed Fountain & 1 Evolving Wilds instead of the Guildgate, since Fortress comes untapped on 'em...

Also, have at least 11 lands that could produce white mana... U have 22 that produce blue, U don't need that much, so change 2 Islands for 2 Plains...

Drop Cancel & use Dissipate, or Syncipate instead (they R good against grave decks)... I C U use Dissipate, sorry... Just don't use Cancel, it's weak...

The Subject is the only finisher... It's not enough... I'd use 3-4 Jace's Phantasm, since U do some milling...

Get some Detention Sphares instead of Oblivion Ring... May be U could put Oblivion Ring in the sideboards, when U need more stuff like that...

Good luck at getting the 4th egg!! :)

U should make some sideboards with Rest in Peace, Negate & stuff...


If U R interested, I need some help with 2 decks of mine... Both standard...

R U sure?..

Syncopate with X=2 is the same cmc as Dissipate & it's still not uncondicional...

I understand, that U could use it by spending 2 mana & at times, it's enough, but not in the late game it isn't...

Do I have any other reason to use it instead of Dissipate?..
