that's menacing... I might have something for alcatraz(the quaaaad laser!), but I have nothing for that...

I like number two best, it accurately describes the 10-land experience.

I've been working on something for this kind of thing oddly enough, I have seen to many prison decks for my tastes... I prefer to be the one shutting you out :P

If I could manage to afford to rebuild some things, I think I could run it ;)

I don't like the sound of esper prison though, that sounds annoying.

I'd enjoy seeing a shop of extraction... I always wanted to run the gauntlet with my lands :P

I'm testing it with a great success rate, it forces them to use their resources early, which allows more freedom in my madness.

Only thing I see that's banned is balance, unless they banned enlightened in legacy... And as for casual? Hell, I've got some things I'll try against it WITHOUT using anything banned in legacy, I may lose, but casual is all about fun, and I don't like to give up.

You should also use the new card Surgical Extraction over Extirpate I think, it allows more liberal use of mana than extirpate, at the cost of 2 life to play instead.

Phyrexian Obliterater is going to cause a LOT of problems for people, but oddly enough I haven't found somewhere to use him personally.


I'm glad Bob works out for you when you get him, he's the black Xantid Swarm to me. Yeah they can play spells, but it's a similar amount of advantage.

Hey, I know that deck! I actually made one a couple months ago for a teaching tool!

Fun stuff, I prefer the old style though to the more aggro oriented ones that are popping up myself, but those decks are just so freaking hilarious.

An extractor trying to use Horn of Greed on me lost because of it, if the lands player knows what they're doing they can get around it.

It is a funny way to deal with lands though

There's always Armageddon, but that usually doesn't matter all that much to a GOOD lands.

I think Land Equilibrium would be an interesting way to go against lands in Extraction, it's slow yes, but it could be very nice against the slower lands decks.

If I could give you mine, I still wouldn't... Not after the Circu Blitzkrieg... It might not be targeted like a normal extraction, but it's still deadly.

Granted, I was using the glassiest of cannons, but still!

I'm at a loss, I've never really worked on Charbelcher personally, and especially not of this variety.

I can see that the problem is a lack of reliable mana, but you have the best alternative mana sources I can think of already here.

Had any testing time with Bob? I'm interested in how the fatherdeck(yes, your deck is now the Germany to my MBC) is fairing.

Gerrard's Verdict is actually the worst one of the anti-lands cards I've seen implemented against my builds, I find Pox is more effective even. Since I mulligan VERY aggressively with my lands, I usually wound up discarding a LfTL.

Could just be my experience/luck, but I have to agree with you that there are better ways. MUCH better ways...

I'd think about losing Garruk all together personally, I don't know standard, but I just don't like him personally.

Dude, that's actually the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I've been waiting for this kind of deck to be viable for tourneys since I first broke onto that crap.

I've been also thinking that it would be useful in pretty much any control deck, such as countertop. It's just monstrous!

To be perfectly honest, since this can establish such an explosive advantage at this rate, while risky, you might want to test with good ol Bob(Dark Confidant)

I think either your Chrome Mox, or one of the Diamonds could probably be dropped, or perhaps even some rituals. Bob has a good chance of hurting you yes, but looking at the way this deck is built he's actually more likely to just hit you with the minor things.

As per your usual, another great extraction deck. Looks fun to play, and it looks like it has a great consistency.

I'd also completely forgotten about tainted aether's existence, which could actually prove pretty useful for a lot of control decks.


I think this is a great deck, succeeded at the challenge, and would be rewarding to play(if they'd only give you that Dr. Pepper). I love it!


One thing I have to ask though, what do you think of the new Extirpate(Surgical Extraction)? I personally plan to use it in a deck I'm working on MB, I think it'd be handy against decks like Storm combo, spiral #$%@, Lands, and Countertop.

I just noticed this has sixty-one cards main board, that's quite a bold move.
