After playing some cockytrice games with my mbc, including a game against delver that was over 35 minutes long (which I won...thank you {Shimian Specter}), I made some tweaks to it.

Please suggestions please! :D

Love decks like this.  Everything I would have suggested is in your sideboard.  Well done sir, I may build one similar.

Coffee Vampire

Updated with card descriptions

thanks, mr ghetto :)

Inconnu

I like it. Especially the descriptions on why you have the cards. The descriptions really help less knowledable, ( me), people to see why it is a great deck. Must remember some of your reasons in my future decks especially sideboards which I've never done.
(Only 1 constructed and 2 draft FNM so far so still learning)
Again great deck.

No { Lilliana of the dark realms} with the swamp stuff?

Coffee Vampire

With MBC it seems like yu have to choose either veil or dark realms. They do not have synergy with eachother. If I had dark realms my deck would have {Consume Spirit} and {Griselbrand}...totally different deck. Not saying dark realms is bad mbc...just not the same as what I want.

Well, it's definitely not fun to play against.. Unless I manage to {Wrack with Madness} your {Phyrexian Obliterator} lol

Coffee Vampire

My first game testing this on cockytrice I accidentally clicked a nonstandard game...the guy was playing all-out affinity.

Ge got {Darksteel Collosus} out t3 and I used {Geth's Verdict}. he quit on turn 5 because I had {Lashwrithe} equipped to {Inkmoth Nexus} lol

Ghetto Pass

In my experience the new Liliana is really quite weak.  I had her in the first version of my MBC deck, which is completely different than Coffee's, and she was a massive disappointment.  Her ultimate is super weak in comparison to Liliana of the Veil to boot.

Nice deck!  {tormented soul} might be a good card for this deck.  1 drop, unblockable.  Great target for {lashwrithe} also.

Coffee Vampire

Good suggestion. I'll playtest it. I like the way my mana curves right now, so I would have to remove 1-drops in the deck to make room. Don't really see what I could take out since I like the control 1 drops (t1 {Distress} + {Surgical Extraction}).

It is a good card. Adding it or not will be a matter of preference. Do I want midrange control or aggresive creatures?

Ghetto Pass

I think the Tormented Soul is a pretty good idea. VI'd take out one of each Duress and Distress for them.  They're good, but late game they can be duds, whereas the Tormented Soul can be a game ender.

Coffee Vampire

I like the idea. I'll test it next chance I get. Reason I have 4 of both discard tools is that I always want one t1. Someone may keep a hand just because of 1 card they have. Making them discard it is important.

Dudecore

I'd drop the 4 {Duress} and sideboard 2 {Surgical Extraction} in favor of {Tragic Slip}.

My reasoning is as follows:

1) {Surgical Extraction} is brilliant for breaking up combos. Most decks are not combo decks. Extraction does not cantrip, and loses some value in faster games.

2) {Duress} IMO, does not offer the same draw value (either initial hand, or later draw) as {Tragic Slip}. {Dismember}, {Go for the Throat} and {Tragic Slip} just synergize better.

3) {Duress} does not cantrip (second time I've mentioned a card that does not replace iteelf). I am not attempting to say that all cards that don't cantrip stink (far from the truth) and I am quite familiar with the value of seeing an opponents hand, I am even more aware of it's interaction with {Surgical Extraction} and realize its mana cost of {B}. It shines as a sideboard card for important control match ups, and I'd main board either more power or more removal.
