Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I just got back from an exhausting research trip...so this was a pleasent surprise to come back to. Still, I won't be looking at anyone's deck for a short while, I'm ****ing tired =/ @ Savaj: Circu is an excellent extraction creature, but Circu extracts are very geared towards him, and this really isn't, so it wouldn't make full effect of his abilities. My buddy has been working on a hybrid extraction deck that uses Mirror of Fate. It's just an experimental deck, but it might be cool. @ Slightly: Lord of Extinction would indeed be ****ing huge, but only for a short period of time, and he costs a lot of mana. Tarmogoyf costs almost nothing and can get to a massive size just as fast =p @ charlie: I have Phyrexian Revoker in the sideboard, just haven't uploaded it yet.

Living End will win the game ever time. Honestly, once I suspend it, that's how long you have until I win. Because it is suspended, I can play other things in conjunction with it without it draining on my mana pool. The effects of Living End already make enormous Bitterbombs, but often because of it's suspend, I can play a Pox after Living End...and that will be large enough to make any deck incapable of winning.
"in case Dingus Egg doesn't kill the opponent" When, in the history of Landingus has that ever happened? =P I like the deck, especially because as of late I am really beginning to dislike lands...(long story)
That is pretty awesome dude. That sword's abilities are insane. It's first ability will be a nightmare for some Extended decks, specifically Fae/Tempo...those often run a single swamp simply because the rules say they have to!
slight increase in creature sacrifices for the enemy. Active mana burdening in combination with Tabernacle. It also works nicely as a multi-color land with ignorable effects. It's mostly the burden created from it and Tabernacle.
My buddy uses a Kazuul EDH deck. I'll say from experience...Kazuul is a greatly underestimated general. He can be a serious pain in the ass with all those tokens -_- Nice deck.

There we go, now you get it =P
They all have a few various win conditions. However the main way an extraction deck wins is best explained by this phrase: "I win, because you can't."
Hahaha thanks man.
Look at the card Pox. Now look at the card Bitter Ordeal. Imagine what I could do to your deck if I played Pox and then played Bitter Ordeal. These are called BitterBombs, or "really ****ing big Bitter Ordeals". This one is possibly the most aggro-oriented of the lot, with Tarmogoyf being absolutely insane post-Pox.
Since you were curious, here's my other extraction decks. Hopefully they will help you understand how it works =] http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=169004 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=114110 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=133439 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=153474 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=153497 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=156228 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=153667
Well, both are pretty much how they sound. Lock-down describes a deck that controls the actions of their opponent(s) so much that their deck is locked-down. These decks are also more commonly called Prison decks, for obvious reasons. The extraction part refers to a deck type that wins by taking apart their opponent's deck bit-by-bit. Many cards exist that can search for and/or target cards and exile them from the game. You literally are going through a player's deck and "extracting" their win conditions. There's many kinds of extraction designs. This one is technically what's called a "Poxtraction" -- an extraction deck that uses Pox (usually in conjunction with Bitter Ordeal) to extract massive portions of a person's deck at a time. "Every deck has a weakness. Extraction preys on that weakness." =P
Glad to hear it dude.
This looks like a legit top deck. You can understand why I'm still cautious...you don't exactly have the best reputation here. But, if this is a step in the right direction, well then nice job and cool deck.
Netdecks of yours and WnB's Lands decks are popping up all over the freakin place in my local shop. Haven't yet had someone who really knew what they were doing, but still...damn you for making these easily accessible to the public! >_<
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Alright well that completely changes things.
1) It's an increadibly versatile land that allows me the mana I want at the times I want it, and faster than other lands of similar functions 2) It's my favorite land in the game. =]
Yes. In reality, a dragonstorm deck needs very little dragons, and is considered by many to not even be an actual dragon deck. The majority of these decks are filled with mana spikes and storm fuelers. Take a look at my dragonstorm deck and you'll see what I mean. It's much more about a combo and hardly at all about dragons. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=139791
Glad to help. And that's what I figured. I know from experience that Inferno is a nightmare for Fae -_-
