Title: Needing some help,
Post by: VQMracing on March 23, 2014, 01:41:30 AM
Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I need some help figuring out how to beat a deck I keep losing to. It's an artifact deck that inevitably {tinkers} into a {blightsteel colossus} turn one or 2. I'm running a mono black devotion, and I realize I'm getting out classed by an illegal deck but he always uses it and I need some way to end this torture, even if it means a new deck.

Run the old black/blue zombie deck that delt with delver when it was in standard. Dude will cry when you turn 2 in response to your colossus,  {Geth's Verdict} :)

That is honestly the best way to deal with it. Without making a entire new deck u just need to make sure u put a lot of sacrifice cards in. Sense it seems his deck is either casual or legacy/vintage then I see no reason when u play him you can't put older stuff in also. I think if u add in against him 4 {geths verdict} and 4 {chainers edict} u should be all set and ready for that turn two colossus. Just my opinion

Edit: also there is {diabolic edict} and {cruel edict} also. I think any combination of those will do nicely

 {Revoke Existence},  {Path to Exile} or  {Swords to Plowshares} will exile it permanently.

Or just {unsummon} it.

Sac spells work flawlessly also if you want to splash a color {G} has stuff like {Nature's Claim}

It's indestructible so you'd have to exile it or bounce it.  {Unsummon} or  {Vapor Snag} are good suggestions.

Turn to dust is only equipment.

 {Act of Treason}, use it against him. Make sure you tell him that you hope it fits.

If you don't mind splashing, you could just straight up {Spell Pierce} or {Mana Leak} or {Daze} or whatever the {Tinker}. Don't let them even see the colossus.

But wouldn't it be better to just let him get the colossus out and then take care of it? Atleast that way u r getting two of his cards for just one of his? Just a thought

Well, it depends on what you do to it. If you exile it, good! If you only bounce it, it's in his hand for later.

Tinker does nothing for a card in hand. And if your plan is to cheat it out you won't be able to hard cast it often.
