"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." -- H.P. LovecraftOne of my all time favorite quotes. I think it's rather fitting.

Another nice deck. What made you decide to use city of brass over mana confluence?
Heh, because I forgot all about Mana Confluence =PThanks for the reminder.
City of Brass might be better if you're not using Urborg. You can respond to 1 damage.
If they can tap your lands, cob can be deadly.
Exactly. I've gotten straight up hefted by Arty using COB against freakin Rishadan Port.
Yuuuup, that'll do it.
That is quite honestly one of my favorite quotes of all time. It's not given often when one would quote Lovecraft, certainly the most used would be the splendid line from Herbert West—Reanimator I should think, though easily I find this one eclipses it on it's own idea; it focuses on the fears made possible by our knowledge, the lack thereof, and worse yet on the the twisted sheen we place on what memories we can keep.Onto the deck itself, Sultai Charm is an interesting, yet not altogether surprising choice. I wonder if it may be reasonable to try and play either two copies of Sultai Charm, or a split of it, and Golgari Charm for certain MUs... I can easily see the merit in using it over Phyrexian Metamorph right now. Metamorph has waned over time in this deck, much the same as Tarmogoyf. I like it because I get to be a dick to other people playing Batterskull(read: anybody playing White anymore).However, I feel I must note that you kind of miss out by not playing at least three Deathrites. It doesn't operate just on the same principles as a Grim Lavamancer that can use either graveyard, I've found the mana ramp to have added a nice little cushion of consistency, tying together the dissociated knowledge as it were :)Also, The Band... WOW. I thought it was too shocking to note that I had listened to Mungo Jerry working on my new version, so I pretended it was Machine Head. I wonder if the music choice has a subconscious affect on deck composition...But yeah, The Band is awesome.
Yeah I have long decided that Metamorph no longer works for the deck. I've oddly found in trials that I only ever want the one Sultai Charm for the majority of match-ups (as versatile and good as it is, it carries with it a hefty load of mana burden), but for the others, having two is incredible. It's why I bumped some stuff around for it in the sideboard. It wasn't easy, but I think I managed quite well.As for the third Deathrite...I've been doing trials and research all night and I think you might be right. Here I was saying you were the crazy one running 17 lands, but playing on that edge seems to be exactly what is needed. I think of all my decks as having souls, to some extent, and PAL is no exception. In my head, PAL's soul is wild, almost untamable...angry...It only makes sense that its "body" should be so reckless =]By the time you read this post, I'll have done my little edits. I think you'll like them.
If I honestly wanted an optimal option, I would follow suit and replace my Metamorph with Sultai Charm too. But I want to test it in what I've seen of the metas in some of the places I am considering moving to first, I think it might prove to be quite beneficial in one.At the same time though, I want to just jam Sultai Charm in there, and laugh maniacally. It seems like it might just be that perfect for the deck. Bravo to you for fitting it into the sideboard, they're quite tight in any form of Extraction!It has always played on the edge in some ways, I have to say that playing the landbase as such seems only logical, doubly so when it gives access to better graveyard utilization. It's both efficient, and reckless. My favorite combination, haha!And I know what you mean, there are a few that seemingly designed themselves after a point, often around a core set of ideals. Not so much playing strategy usually, but as an aspect of something.You're quite right.
It really is just perfect for the deck. Once you finally "jam it in" I think you'll love it haha. So you're planning to move eh? Where to?
I can definitely see how it would be, it fixes a LOT of problems the deck traditionally encounters. I'm considering a few places, but the one I'm most seriously so is Baltimore.
Considering ditching the two Bobs in the SB for a second Needle and E. Explosives for the Affinity MU. Thoughts?
Well you know I support that notion.
Yeah, I think my streak of luck with the Bobs has run out. Now every time I pull them all I keep thinking is "damn I wish I had a Needle" or "Engineered Explosives would open up a world of hurt right now..."
I know what you mean, sort of. I never had that luck, but every time I tun into affinity I immediately think I should be playing Null Rod... That deck is the only thing to stay ahead of Maverick for my scorn. I blame Joe still.
I thought about Null Rod too, but I REALLY like the idea of E.E. in PAL. It just seems right.I will always blame Joe for Affinity.
I play two copies of EE in my sideboard for it, it is magical. Null Rod is just me wanting to hate that deck more than I know I should.Agreed. Brilliant bastard.

Hello SWN :)You've commented on my latest EDH, and as promised - although it went buggers - I'll try to comment on this deck. Well, I can't since you and your friends operate at a whole other level, one I can never reach, but dangit if I can't give ya' a compliment !Psychogenic Probe and Bitter Ordeal . . . That. . . You.. I.. You've just went supersonic in the means of being evil, and I mean that in a good way, haha. I just gotta say, man, bravo. Never knew that combo, and I hope none of my friends discover it. Also I keep hearing a well-known wizard in my head saying: "Keep it secret. Keep it safe."Thumbs up, man.On another note, don't know if you've ever heard of the series, but the creator of X-Files, made another little-known of, but brilliant series called "Millennium" and it happen to be my favorite. Starring Lance Henriksen as the consultant who has an ability to put himself in the minds of murderers and serial killers hoping to stop them. Also, if you're in to cartoons - or experimental cartoons - back in the day, MTV launched a series of just that. "The Maxx" is the one I refer to, and this series is my number uno favorite. If you don't know of this, then BE WARE ! Do NOT watch if you're depressive or sad, it will only make it worse. But on a good day, or a day you want to sacrifice, it's perfect. The Maxx was also a comic book series, I own some of the very first, its that good.Sorry I couldn't help on the Magic side, as said, you guys are at another level, but a +1 still ^_^
I see almost three grand to win a card game... ;pNo really, I get it.
