Well with Infernal Kirin, I have something sort of like a 'persecute' that is a continuous threat...for the same mana!

Thanks for commenting =]

The Scroll has been great for me to be honest. You just set it down, and any time you need a little extra punch, pop it and the opponent loses a card. At its worst it's a discard you can force on your opponent at a moment's notice. However, it can also be a healthy blast of 5-7 damage at a moment's notice. Crawler would be nasty is here, and I'm almost positive I have it in my Seizan EDH, but in here there's no room =/

I suppose, but wouldn't you want more instant-speed GY wiping? I guess I feel it would do well as a SB card, and you could run something else with more "oomph" in it's place.

Since we're all in the celebrational mood, I'd like to ask you to check out my latest deck. It's a loooong story, but it's basically a birthday deck =]

I kept out things like hymn and verdant catacombs to keep this thing more budget friendly. The scroll has greatly impressed me to be honest. As for tormented soul, you need to understand that a Seizan deck puts everyone on a clock...and to win, you need to make sure that your opponent's clock goes faster than yours. Even doing 1 damage a turn puts enormous pressure on the opponent.

I'm too, not a big fan of Jund charm in here. You could go classic jund and rock thrinax in that spot...or some other kind if tech. I dunno, the charm just feels out of place to me.

I also can't help wondering what this design would do if you shifted it into a janky kind of Dark Zoo with the new ajani. The only other walker you could cascade to is tibalt, but he's kind if a one-trick pony...and it's not even that great a trick =P

Other than the charm I love this. I had something else to say...but I haven't slept in much and can't remember it. If I do I'll post it =]

Congrats on 150 decks man =]

As for a creature, popping out a Jin-G would greatly help to slow down any kind of response the opponent might have.

Other possible ideas would be things like Vela, Twilight Drover, and/or Extractor Demon to take advantage of Mass Poly's other effect =]

This is so freakin janky but I love it man. Only thing I'd say is I'm not sure you need all four grisly. Maybe just three and something else for tech?

Glad you like it. Like I said, ive been surprised by this thing, and just how much it denies people the ability to play. I feel like this is the path that this branch of Extraction will take in the future. What's interesting is that, just like in PAL, the big addition has been the Disk...

I'd love to see LED either banned or hell, restricted. I think that would balance things out just right, and doomsday would likely still hold on to it's power. As it stands now, LED is too useful, at times acting like a BETTER black lotus...that can't go unanswered, and I feel like it has =/

I've been loving my Reanimator since I've made it for similar reasons. It in a strange way, appeals to the Extractor in me. Extraction wins by making the opponent unable to use their deck...with all the tech and answers Reanimator is packed with...it wins in a similar way! And I love it =P

I should have clarified...by "combo" I meant Storm combo decks. That's why I said all but doomsday, because doomsday gets the Storm off in such a psychotic and suicidal way that it's just cool to watch.

I honestly do believe that the storm mechanic, or at the very least Tendrils of Agony, has ruined the deck type of "combo". Just ask WnB...combo used to be amazing, and truly involved actual combinations of card interactions unlike storm, which just plays draw spells and mana sources until it wins. If you ask me, that's not even a combo.

Losing storm would indeed make it harder for me, as Extraction can completely destroy storm (although with misstep gone, it's not as easy as before), but I would welcome the challenge. Back before storm rose to power, Extraction was still powerful against combo, but there was much more thinking involved =/

So yeah, Storm represents everything I hate about competitive magic, but just Storm...not combo as a whole.

Bleh, this thing reminds me of Glue...and I despise Glue e_e

Not so sure I like entreat in here. I'd just go for another luminarch if you're looking for an army of angels alongside your control schenanigans.

Hrm...now you have me wondering if I should try out spell pierce =/

Yeah Siggy, as I call her, can be superfluous in some games, but in the ones where she matters, god damn does she deliver. Like I said above, tell me how YOU would deal with Inkwell while Siggy is also out? =P

One thing you've missed is my second design for Iso-Pox called "The Idea". I think you'll be surprised by it. I was

In all honesty, I wish that all combo decks except Doomsday got nerfed into obscurity. Doomsday is such an enormous risk and just such a freaking "black" card that I think the whole thing is balanced and acceptable.
