Well Sligh is different. That deck type is actually based on a mathematical equation...but Wumps does make a good point. For the most part it's just going with your gut. I've done some math shenanigans with a few of my decks, but I'm a nerd soooooo....

=]

Nah, I already found a replacement for Gen Wave, and I don't think I need any more Fireball-esque spells.

I think TCGplayer.com has a trading hub, and they've always been good to me in regards to buying/selling (mostly buying, but still)

With the spell suite I'm running, it gives me extra dudes to sac.

Her name is Rosie and, like all of our dogs, is a Golden Retriever =]

I'll try to get to these as soon as I can, but quite frankly, we just got a new 8 week old puppy and things are a liiiiiiiiiittle crazy =P

Glad I could help inspire. Thanks for the compliment! =]

Good to see you back on the site. I expect we'll also see you around the shop more often now too?

Also this looks awesome...But if Tok-Tok is out a well timed Rakdos Charm (mode 3) will thoroughly kick your ass =P

Hey buuuuuddy...I once again ask of your opinion in regards to my 30th EDH (Sygg just wasn't working).

<___< and anyone else who wants to add their opinion too.

Yeah it just might...and/or solidarity of heroes.

Hahaha of course man, I'm not goin anywhere =]

Well crap you're right. I probably would have eventually learned this the hard way (haven't had a game yet where I've drawn Gen Wave), but it's nice to get this kinda heads up =]

Now what to replace it with...

Correct. The rebounded version will need to be given a new legal target or it will fizzle.

Well I'll be honest, this isn't what I was expecting when I read the word "Cephalid".

I like it. It's just an overall solid design. The one gripe I have with it is Clout of the Dominous. It really doesn't do much, and your other enchantment also grants shroud (and is WAY better). Might I suggest Distortion Strike? It will let you get through for easy bounces =]

It's really a shame that you're trying to keep this relatively budget, because you clearly have a grasp on how Tempo is supposed to be played. I think this deck could do amazing things if it went black/blue and had a few tweaks. To be honest I don't even know if Bitterblossom is necessary...Of course it's amazing for any faerie tempo, but if you don't like it for budget reasons, then you can leave it out.

Oona's Blackgaurd, with a few adjustments and a few other black faeries, spells, etc. would do some serious damage.

Now, if you want to keep the deck mono-blue...I don't know how much it costs, but Sower of Temptation is one of my favorite faeries. Also, Glen Alandra Pranksters are, I know for a fact, very budget and do amazing things for various combat tricks. For one thing, you can get back your Spellstutters.

Hope that helps =]

Entomb, Noxious Revival, Orzhov Charm (maybe) + Stuff. I'm actually considering dumping the Charm for a second Revival...

I sort of count Parfait in the realm of Iso-Pox. It's like that weird fourth member of the trio that everyone forgets to mention...Like how "Y" is sometimes a vowel, but yeah it does some silly things to Affinity...which makes me happy.

Nobody can agree on PAL =P

Yeah, I played during Unhinged (and Unglued) and grabbed up as many of the lands as I could then, and then through the years I just snatch up any more that I come across. Some people collect coins or baseball cards. I collect Unhinged lands =P

I'd like to add that Iso-Pox can actually do some amazing things against Affinity oddly enough.

So against affinity I guess it would go (from best to worst) PAL, Iso-Pox, Iso-Seek, and then the assorted lesser forms of extraction.

Alrighty, I'll take a look at it some time tomorrow. For now, I gotta get some freakin sleep.

And @magicmaster13, do I hack? What? I am confuzzled ._.

Jens basically nailed it. I've never really had too many issues with Maverick for whatever reason, might be luck idk. The entomb package also helps a bit...So does Tabernacle (which you can fetch with the entomb package).

As for Affinity...yeah I mean Kataki helps to an extent, and Tabernacle can absolutely wreck an aggro list if played at the right time...but Extraction, especially Iso-Seek, has always had a rough time with Affinity. If you're really into playing extraction, but there's a lot of Affinty in your meta, I'd say give PAL a try and/or add Katakis where you see fit.
