GORZO!!! I CHOOSE YOU!!!

I need some more advice in things to cut.

Gorzo

Oh my. Alright, lets have a look! I'll edit with some opinions :)

You can probably cut a land. I've never had an issue running 38.

Does {Rest in Peace} do anything for you? You can probably cut it, unless it has a use I'm not seeing.

I see {Land Tax} and multiple spells like {Equipoise} that require your opponents to have more lands than you to work...seems like once land tax happens, the others are gonna stop working, no?

I see Web of Inertia and black Leyline now. Yeah, those and Rest in peace are a thing. It's also 3 cards to devote to one thing... A good thing, sure, but you're at that point where you need to decide if it's worth it because those final cuts are so, so hard.

And I'm about to make them harder - where's  {Windborn Muse}? :P

Spencer Addington

{rest in peace} + {web of inertia} ;) That and graveyard hate is always a good thing.

Gorzo

You're definitely at the point that I find the hardest - those last cuts are so hard, and you don't want to lose any of those cards! I still can't decide the last ones to cut from my Sydri deck lol

Okokok I'll cut the leyline of the void and web, but SOME graveyard hate has to stay, so I'm going to have to keep rest in peace. I'm also gonna cut land tax, which will save me a few bucks, so thanks :)) And curse you for finding {windborn muse}!!!

So now that have cut the deck down to 100, what do you guys/gals think if it? Is it proper Pillowfort? Does it seem like it will hold up in a group?

Gorzo

I've never actually done a pillow fort deck, but it looks like it should work pretty well! You'll have to to test by playing it. A lot of times I'll only find a card to be unhelpful when I get to actually playing the deck, and notice a certain card sitting in my hand multiple times without ever being a good option to cast.

What about {Ghostly Prison} and {Propoganda}

I like necropotence. This is more of a slowly bleeding you opponents deck, so I'm going to pass on the sovereign. Plus, I don't think it will last on the board very long.

{Mystic Remora}? Probably better then {Rhystic Study} and is good at various points in the game. {4} is a huge tax, even later in the game. I usually draw 6-7 cards with it, comared to maybe 2-3 with Rhystic.

AdamS

you should add {Heliod, God of the Sun}  {Intruder Alarm} and {Frozen Æther}
