I like it, maybe wall of fire? Browbeat? Dash hopes? Geths verdict instead of diabolic edict, and there's a better tutor.

Grim tutor or cruel tutor
I was originaly worried about keeping my life loses low, but after some thought I'm leaning towards Gamble. Geth's is a good call though, thanks.
Very nice. Not necessarily legacy competitive, but very silly and totally capable of an explosive turn 2 win. Try adding apostle's blessing. The white is phyrexian so you can cast it in your colors, and it can give you some much needed protection from removal like abrupt decay and swords to plowshares.
I'm going to sleep on the white addition, it's actually something I considered before - it's a good color to work in. I was thinking Path to Exile > Swords though. What do you think?
Actually, I was suggesting apostle's blessing since you DONT need to splash white, it's phyrexian.Based on the way you combo, I'd say that path would be better for you over swords. I was just saying that if you give your wall protection with blessing in response to abrupt decay or swords, then the removal spell will fizzle because the target will be invalid.
I follow you, thanks for the imput.
I like the idea, but if you're going to run wall of blood, you have to run Essence Harvest with it. x3http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=271114
Great call! Thanks for the imput.
I can see that a lot of thought have been put into it, so I won't grumpy you too much! You've marked it as legacy, and I've played a similare deck at legacy. There are two differences between our designs. 1: You based it solely on wall of blood, and does not have cavern of souls. Get it or fail!!! 2: You based it solely on wall of blood, while I use mogg maniac + fire covenant too and as such have two combo's in my deck to kill with. (Turn 1 play manaforge cinder, turn 2 play mogg maniac and attack with cinder, turn 3 play fire covenant.) or (turn 2 play mogg maniac and zuran orb, turn 3 play fire covenant) How do I overlap the combo's? Through ragged veins, a card that you should seriously consider! (Turn 1, dark ritual and wall of blood. turn two, pass, and when they attack put ragged veins on their attacker and pump!) But what if they don't have a critter? (Use forbidden orchard, most opponents love attacking with gift-1/1's.) But what if they get too many of the critters? (thats where mogg maniac + blasphemous blast gets a role to play) Sideboard a spellskite and you should be on your way ;D
I hadn't thought of Orb for this deck, but it seems obviously good now."Through ragged veins, a card that you should seriously consider!(Turn 1, dark ritual and wall of blood. turn two, pass, and when they attack put ragged veins on their attacker and pump!) "^^ That's a face I want to see; I hope you've had exactly that happen.Thanks for the great pointers (always welcome). I did some well needed surgery, I'm really liking it (esp. the prices on most of the cards you mentioned). Thanks a lot!
So far I haven't had anyone attack with a ragged veins into wall of blood. And I play a lot of games. I have had one game where I had the wall in play and someone attacked me with a jackal pup. I laughed a lot then! That was some face! Embarressed players are fun.
I bow to you sir.
Well don't... There's more, to the story. He won the first game because his deck was basically bolts & critters, I won the next through surprise value, and third game he also won despite him playing a jackal pup again, and me holding fire covenant in my hand :(
Brutal :(Sounds like funny matches and a good story at least!
How well does the deck perform now?What are your most difficult matchups in legacy when you play?I have also been thinking if it was possible to add some more walls:+2 wall of razors-1 lightning bolt-1 bump in the night
I have only ran casual for a bit now. Aggro is definately the biggest thret so far. Wall of razors is probably a good fix for that actually!
Yeah, it will buy you time or let them spend a bolt on it instead of you.Also, wall of razors will be covered by cavern of souls as well.It's possible that a more wallbased theme might have better defence against aggro, so cutting mogg maniac and fire covenant to the sideboard could be one way of moving against aggro, and creaturedecks have always been very popular. You could pour some more fling and consumptions into it, plus let glyph of destruction be mainboard.If you want to try out some very radical ideas, you can also go with:Wall of blood + phyrexian dreadnaught.wall of blood + children of corlis.
I really like the idea of Phyrexian Dreadnaught with Essence Harvest; that would be a funny turn 3 (if you Dark Ritual Wall of Blood on turn 1). I did some moving around. I think the deck is a little more mobil without losing too much combo power.
I just finished a slightly more colorful and much cheaper version http://www.mtgvault.com/spudshaver/decks/bloodflingcovenant-13/ Let me know if you like it
essence harvest + dreadnaught looks like a good idea, just don't forget that path to exile and abrupt decay is out there :)
I wouldn't be upset if dreadnaught got Exiled in response to Essence Harvest. That's a funny moment.
Erh?You cast essence, it goes to stack,they cast abrupt, it goes to stack.top effect resolves first, so abrupt is resolved.you then have no dreadnaught and get 0-4 life.You lose 2 cards, "they" lose one, How's that funny???
Odd humor I suppose... Later it's a story to tell.
Well, I've already messed enough with both your designs, but have I ever suggested pact of negation?
That's one of those cards that I'm always unsure about. It could save the game for any combo deck, when it's needed; however, you have to win that turn. The only card I would rotate out would be Apostle's Blessing, unless there is something I'm not seeing right now. And you have contributed a lot! Thanks!
no probs...
