Quote from: ConanEdo on May 14, 2014, 01:19:15 PMwell this is my next question, what cards arent doing a good enough job in the deck to be replaced by snipe and looting? I honest don't know I have really play tested the deck yet because I don't have all the cards yet.
Faithless Looting is fine since it makes Ascension easier to turn on and you can flashback those spells with Past in Flames. I've seen Guttersnipe used as an alt wincon, but bear in mind that he's just a bear, so unless you plan on going off within a turn, he's not going to stay alive very long.
Quote from: ConanEdo on May 14, 2014, 02:19:54 PMWell I forgot to add {desperate ritual} to my deck list, and I will try that after I receive the rest of the key pieces of the deck from eBay and test it out.Quote from: Elitehalo360 on May 14, 2014, 02:12:23 PMWell, currently you only have 56 cards MB. You also only have 4 rituals.

-1-2 Grapeshot (You only should need to see one)
-1 Repeal (I can't imagine any permanent that would give you too much trouble)
+4 Desperate Ritual
+2-3 Faithless Looting
Another card to look at would include {{Desperate Ravings}}
Quote from: Taysby on May 14, 2014, 09:26:57 AMFaithless is a great card for this deck one of those most underrated cards because it helps get stuff in the yard for ascension. I read a big Jon Finkel article about this very specific deck and he stated that those ppl who ran this deck without faithless are those who are basically conceding to making a top 8.Quote from: Rasser on May 14, 2014, 02:22:35 AM
Would {Guttersnipe} help or just take up a spot in the deck?
{Faithless Looting}?
Snipe would cause you to win one turn later because you have to play him, but he makes it so you don't have to go off to win. That's a personal choice
Faithless costs too much for what it does. I'd rather just {serum visions}
Quote from: Taysby on May 14, 2014, 08:28:04 PMIts very good. Even with just one ascension on board its great. With serum you get 1 card and put two on the bottom. With faithless you get two cards then choose two to go to the yard. I could see if the discard was random it would be more tricky but the jewel of the deck is ascension and it needs copies in the yard not at bottom of library.
I thought it cost 2r and 1u to flash black. My bad. It seems pretty good.
