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...

Thanx, man! I'm glad I could inspire!.. :) Good luck!..
Even the deck with the most "likes" in the latest 15 top decks is mine... :) Not that theese things would mean much, I'm just having a little success - feeling... :)
YAAAAAYY!! :)))) LOOK!.. THE 2 LATEST DECKS OF TOP DECKS R BOTH MINE & I HAVE A TOTAL 3 DECKS IN THE 15 LATEST TOP DECKS!! :) THX, EVERYONE!!......
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!.. I'm glad U like it! :)
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... Grixis control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163 B/G/U Zombies: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748
Thanx!.. :) The deck is quite different now... If U got here again, tell me what U think of the new concept!..
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?..
