I found that I preferred {forbidden alchemy} and/or {ponder} over {think twice } because it lets me search for the {fog} or { rites of flourishing } a lot faster then think twice does although you can flash black {think twice}.

I had it until I realized I didn't put rites of flourishing which paired with otherworld are perfect way to back door mill someone. Snap caster brings a lot to the table since he can bring back any fog spell.

I feel like I might need to put in a couple removal spells since i didn't account for planeswalkers.

I saw a deck like this and it was 3-4 colors with {blasphemous act} as removal.

Add 2 {beast within} and sideboard the other two for removal. Have you sleeved the deck yet? If so how do you like {otherworld atlas}? I tried it but it didn't click for me.

It's slow, but the deck is anyways.

You could add U/W and G/W lands to the side board so you could sideboard in {oblivion ring}s to get rid of planeswalkers...and {hellrider}

Yeah. White would be beneficial with board wipes and o ring for planeswalkers I agree

It's hard to not put have in here instead of tamiyo. He's 10 a turn milled. I think jace is better

I would put 2 jaces instead of three since  you go through the deck so fast. Also for side boarding I would take {have memory adept} and {otherworld atlas} (this first} out to sideboard in. you could also drop 1 land

Played RDW and it was hilarious since he realized what I was doing (back door millin) he kept saying thank you everytime I played rites of flourishing 😁

Dreadwaters is another decent mill, even tho it's 4MC it's still mill for each land

Yes. It was quite funny. That's the only deck I was worried about. More reason to put in white for timely reinforcements
Title: Re: Stall
Post by: Clearmario on June 03, 2012, 05:25:11 PM
I never thought about putting {timely reinforcements} in the deck. Also {archangels light} would e good

It needs remOval. Liliana killed me
Title: Re: Stall
Post by: Clearmario on June 03, 2012, 07:11:51 PM
Main board 2 {beasts within} and sideboard two. Also I was considering side boarding a couple {devastation tides}

It needs white. Stonehorn is another fOg.

I had someone tell me to put in birds for faster rites.

Turn three rites is still pretty good. Only a few decks can win Before you set up rites. And one is elves which no one plays.

{mana leak} is one of the cards I'm afraid of. I'm tempted to sideboard {nevermore} and say mana leak. Did you lose the game when there were mana leaks?
Title: Re: Stall
Post by: Willthomjr on June 03, 2012, 10:42:05 PM
Yup. One counter on rites or otherworld and It stalls. O rings are a must (or beast) I had tamiyo ultimate then mana leak kept countering errthing
