So what do you think? I'll be playing it this FNM and I see it doing really, really well.
Well I'm an idiot. I need to get {Geth's Verdict} and/or {Tribute to Hunger} in there...
You have tons of creature control and only 14 creatures. Take out a couple creature control cards and throw in a couple {Diabolic Tutor}s so you can get your Wurm or Obliterator IMO
That's a pretty darn good suggestion. After some play testing, maybe after this FNM, I'll see how hard it was to get those creatures out and just might add the Tutor.
Tutors are a waste of time (nothing against you idea of course) you could have a tutor to get you what you want, or you could just put another copy in it's place.....
May I suggest Grave Titan? With so much creature destroys, also include some lashwrithe and mimic vats
{Grave Titan}
{Lashwrithe}
{Mimic Vat}
Not entirely a fan of the Vats but the other two are good suggestions. Thanks.
I don't like {Diabolic Tutor} either....I use {Demonic Tutor} but I only play casual. The tutor would help this deck IMO. He has enough creature control to keep himself alive to pay 4 mana for the tutor, however, adding more creatures would help to. Is {Nantuko Shade} standard? That cheap guy could be helpful.
I personally would not play tutors because it cost mana and a card to get another card. It would be better to replace it with a copy of what you actually want in your deck. (demonic tutor being the exception cuz it's soo cheap)
The shade was last seen in M11, so he rotated out already.
So mixed emotions on the Tutor, huh?
Well, Apple has a point. I mean, it's not like people ever play {Fabricate}, {Cultivate}, {Mystical Teachings}, {Idylic Tutor} or cards that look for something specific in your deck. Why would you want to search for ANY POSSBILE CARD IN YOUR ENTIRE LIBRARY? No sir, count me out.
I'm catching the sarcasm there. I see your point lol. I'd only have a few things worth looking for though. An Obliterator, Wurm, Sorin, or a kill spell.
I have a deck just like this and I would sugest a few cards like {Blind Zealot} or {Go for the Throat}. Otherwise it looks really good.
First off, I'm sorry for yelling. :-X I'm not saying that every deck that can play a tutor should do so. But don't underestimate the ability to find exactly what you need for the moment with a {Diabolic Tutor}.
That being said, know the metagame. This is a fairly quick format so holding off for a turn to fetch your {Black Sun's Zenith} to clear the board could mean that it's already too late. *shrug*
If u have ruin scard demon he replaces a diabolic tutor I find him fun
I like him too, but he's just so hard expensive to cast. :'(
Ik I used him in one of me other to pull reaver demon for field wipe
Yes. I can see the convinience of tutors, but I don't see them preferable to other overpowered cards. Yes, you could tutor for black sun zenith, or you could replace the tutor card with another copy of black sun zenith. Same chance of drawing the overpowered stuff you want
On the other hand, the tutor could be your 5th, 6th, 7th, or even 8th copy of your "overpowered" card, increasing your chances of drawing it. The point is, yes you could tutor for Zenith, but you can tutor for any card you might need. You can add one more of every card if you want, but that sort of defeats the purpose. Heck, I've even used {Diabolic Tutor}s to search for a badly needed land in some games.
But this is not my deck.
