Deck Description

This might be the biggest risk I have ever taken in an XX-Lands design, running thirty-five rather than my usual thirty-six!
Sideboard has Bloodghast, and Cabal Therapy in it, which is weird, but it's another thing I'm testing. Mostly for use against combo, but it has applications elsewhere as well.

Deck discussion for Prison Born

Interesting little take on XX-lands you got here. I can't figure out what land you're "missing", but overall it looks good. I think with how versatile Thespian's Stage is, you can afford to drop to 35 with a lot more ease.

I'm shocked you of all can't figure out what it is, it's one I know you love almost as much as I do.
As a hint; What's your favorite black creature?

Thespian's Stage is definitely up there in my list of favorite lands now, it makes the deck flow significantly smoother.

Ah, Undiscovered Paradise =]

I suppose there's no real need for it.

Not familiar with this build at all... and quite frankly I am not sure how you win with it. I feel rather dumb at the moment. Perhaps it'll come to me if I stare at it longer...

Creeping Tar Pit if a judge asks, but otherwise it's that I don't lose.

Okay... I figured that might be the "win" card, but I wasn't sure. Playing against this would be worse than a stasis deck.

I've always been one to find MBC worse than Stasis to be honest, but I guess Qui-Gon is right.

As someone who plays against a Stasis deck on a semi-regular basis...no it's NOT worse. It's bad, but not worse =P

Stasis decks are great, and the perfect thing for a break. For the pilot at least.

I've literally had Arty play someone else during one of our 'games' with his ChronoStasis deck. He'd occasionally look over at the table where I was sitting and say, "Oh, I skip my next turn."

In my defense, I was playing against you to the full extent possible given the situation.

The last legacy tournament I played in, I went against a stasis deck. The first game took forever. I sideboarded and grabbed Extirpate... once they used Gush, Daze, or Foil... I extracted the hell out of them. Then I waited and beat them down with some flyers. It was pretty great.

Every time somebody mentions extracting Gush, I feel sad for my Doomsday deck. Card is just way too much fun to take away

Gush is a ridiculous card. So much fun with Stasis. Mixed with a Doomsday deck... I cannot help but shake my head at the thought.

It's hilarious in Doomsday, legitimate wins with Laboratory Maniac shouldn't exist, but because of that they do.

there's a few ways to stack doomsday piles that can win without passing the turn, using lab maniac, without gush ^_^

but anyway, very cool deck. Lands always seemed like a fun deck to pilot. When i first was getting into magic, playing casual, prison decks like stasis and winter orb were my favorite. i love the prison feel of the land deck once it gets going. interesting use for entomb also, i dont think i have seen that in lands, although this is a deck i dont see all that often.

True, there are many piles that can win without passing turn that use Laboratory Maniac, but with Gush you remove a lot of the restrictions on such piles :D

Entomb in Lands is something Joe said to try, and after doing so, I can't look back. It's the breathing room that I wanted, but couldn't really achieve with Crop Rotation.
