This deck is designed to piss your opponent off to death. Supposing we are playing this deck against izzet phoenix, a deck that is receiving a lot of popularity at the moment. They discard phoenix into the grave, intending to bring it back by playing 3 spells, and not having to pay the phoenixes mana cost. You at instant speed play surgical extraction targeting phoenix. Oops. Your turn comes around and you play sorcery speed unmoored ego targeting thing in the ice. Oops. Suddenly opponent has no win cons left! Sucks to be U. It is a very annoying deck to play against. The side board has stony silence against artefact hate, spellskite agains burn/aggro and boggles, Leyline of sanctity against any hand disruption and aggro/burn, eraze to deal with blood moon and opponents leyline and timely reinforcements for aggro burn or creature decks in general where we need blockers and life gane. Unfortunately it costs an awful lot of money. However, if you want to piss someone off, and beat them at the same time and you have money, buy this!
don't be afraid to pay life. Often you will be playing a turn one fetch land, search for a watery grave untapped and play a thoughtsieze into a pay two life surgical extraction, all in the first turn. Against burn obviously you want to be more conservative with your life, but in most other match ups unless their deck is much faster than yours you want to be getting their threats into exile as fast as possible. For example against mono black reanimator or delve, you would love a turn like the one mentioned above. assuming they have one of their threats in their hand you get to remove one of four win cons in reanimator, and against delve you get to steal their gurmag angler or golden boi forever.

Love the idea, but I don't think it's fast enough for all games and some decks that don't revolve around 1/2 cards will easily win. I run jund bloodbraid and would destroy this. I do think against pheonix for example it would fare very well.
Thanks. Damnation helps a lot against creature decks, we beat humans 2-0, but I agree that some decks would flog this. However, I think that the deck beats most of the top decks in modern at the moment. You could do some testing and let me know?
I would love to do testing with this and see how it fares.
would much appreciate it if you did. There is no way I will be getting the deck in the near future, and I don't play mtgo.
have done some research and scenario testing. The deck effectively beats almost anything after sideboarding that does not run leyline of sanctity. Please help me deal with this card, as I have tried and failed to find effective leyline hate in dimir colours. the card completely screws my deck round, as my inquizitions and thout sieze don't do anything, and neither does my ego's. I can deal with it if it comes down turn 4, as I will already generally have stolen it or the cards that I need from their hand, but slamming a leyline down turn 1 is almost always strait up lose.
hi, sorry for locking the deck, was messing round a bit with it. Was doing some theoretical testing, and found out that the deck really suffers against leyline of sanctity and hand disruption, and to deal with those things I needed to splash white, so I could run my own leyline, and decent enchantment hate. With the white splash, I thought I could upgrade other stuff too, so I now have stony silence to deal with artefacts and timely reinforcements as well as the new enchantment hate in the sideboard. Maindeck I have upgraded the sweeper, and found a similar deck running kaya. I that was a neat idea, and watched some videos of how she performed. In most match ups the deck really wanted her, so have added as a three of. Runed halo is kind of like a two mana ego that can be killed by enchantment hate, but didn't think that many people would be running enchantment hate maindeck, and in the sideboard it would be artefact and enchantment hate in the same card, ie ancient grudge, and they wouldn't side board it in against me anyway. Hopefully the deck performs for the better now, but its costs about 400 dollars more!
