I'll be honest, I don't really like the land count you have...I think you have a bit too many lands. I also think that if you cut down the land count a bit, you won't need Map. I say cut down to 25-24 lands and lose the Maps, then use the freed up space to smooth some things out. In my opinion you could use the space saved to fix up the spell suite you run. Specifically your Pox package, which I think should run a 4/2 split.

Do those changes and personally I think it will run like a dream.

"Boy Morty, I really Cronenberg-ed the world up, didn't I?"

So a buddy of mine (one of the regulars in our EDH group) was looking to make a Witch-Maw EDH and I told him to proxy this to get some ideas...y'know, see what he likes.

Holy crap. This deck hits hard...Like, really, really hard.

That...did happen. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what that did =P

Hey, you finally found it!

This...Is freakin awesome.

Yeah see that's the difference. We call our meta "business casual", as in it's casual, but we mean business =P

Yeah I'm already making the changes to fit them in.

I've found that with the politics of EDH, while Survival of the Fittest *IS* great, and will win you one game...It's gonna make you a big target the next few games.

This deck actually isn't mine. It's Quasimofo', and before he joined the vault I posted it on my profile with his permission. The deck is on his profile too =P

This is...Very strange. It looks very much like a meld between Elmer Pox and Iso-Pox, yet it's missing some key elements of both. Weirder still is there seems to be nothing wrong with that. The deck, as I see it, will run like a charm.

I'm not quite sure what to think about this deck yet.

Realized the deck does much better with a few tutors in =]

=D

Now we can be awesome together!

You might be the first person to suggest U.P.

I'm gonna have to see how it works in the deck. It's usually a land reserved for slower (controlly) uses of Bloodghast, but it might work nicely.

Aww son of a bitch. You ask me to look at an extraction list and it's for modern! >={

I'm sorry but I seriously have no idea what to suggest, I freakin hate modern. Only thing I can think to say that might help is I really don't think Dash Hopes is that great of a card, in any format. Also not a fan of the single GFTT, but maybe it works. In Legacy I usually run 3 Isochrons AT MOST, but that's with the aid of ET, so I'm not sure if the abscence of that means you do, in fact, need all 4. I just don't know =/

Wish I could help more man...It looks good at least =]

PAL, which is the kind of deck this one is, is waaaaaaaayyy more complicated than the other two, Iso-Seek and Iso-Pox. I still have some difficulties piloting PAL, so if you're looking to get into this kind of thing, I would start with one of the other two. I can provide links to my most recent of either of those two if you need. But yeah, I think I can try my hand at offering a few tips.

The biggest tip I can give I think is you gotta play with, against, or at the very least look at as many different decks as you can. Figure them out, get a feel for them...and not so much what makes them work, but what might give them problems. Like Dredge...Have you ever seen a dredge deck with its Narcomoebas stripped out with a well-timed Extirpate or Surgical Extraction? Sometimes it's much less obvious though. With Stoneblade I usually go after their spell suite, leaving the 'stone' and the 'blade' of Stoneblade largely untouched. Against certain types of Burn or RDW I use Seek on the highest CMC thing I can dig out, because it's not about what I remove, it's about pushing my life total out of their reach before they run out of steam.

Nowadays, I can't help but look at a deck and see all the ways it would fall apart. This is due to years and years of experience, and a lifetime spent imbedded in the world of MtG. Will you be able to do this too? Probably not, but with good practice, you'll get pretty damn good at figuring out how to make a deck fall apart.

Now...As for how some cards fit together. Well, the most obvious is Isochron Scepter and Seek (Iso-Seek got its name from the two after all), but it's worth noticing how well Isochron works with many of the other instants in the list. In this deck there is a lot of setting up that can be done with Living End before and after its suspend timer runs out. For example, a fun thing I like to do is if I have Metamorph on the field (or in the 'yard, it doesn't matter too much) is when it comes back in due to Living End I can make it come in as another copy of Psycho Probe, then if I can drop a Bitter Ordeal the gravestorm count from all the creatures sacked with Living End will be huge...AAAAAaaaaand that means that having two Psycho Probes will more than likely kill the opponent.

I know it was a bit rambling, but I hope that helps a bit =]

GSZ is a great card for pretty much any EDH that can run it. I just didn't have room for it and preferred the explosive power of G. Wave.

It can be rather effective, but most lagacy burns I've seen lately run some other colors, usually black.

I know Quasimofo in real life. He's just being sarcastic about how Elvish Farmer and Spore Flower (with the right support) can basically leave me untouchable. Believe me, the man knows about these cards =]

I got a buddy with a Bosh deck that kicks ass. He's a surprisingly good general.

And yeah, I'm honestly surprised how few people know about the rule.

Would you believe that with all the cards I *DO* own, I still don't own a copy of Natural Order?
