{Nephalia Drownyard} could be good. It helps you grind out games where you can't stick creatures and mill faster when you can.
throw those in instead of darkslick maybe?

Sounds good to me.

With khans coming out soon, I'm thinking of throwing the fetches in, which in my eyes is a stellar idea. Take out basic lands for it, or maybe even the temples?

LinkCelestrial

You're running shocks so your fetch lands can grab them. Which is nice. I wouldn't drop temples but I might drop basics.

Mattacheu

Makes sense. Mana that produces one color, for mana that can produce two. Sold on that:

LinkCelestrial

That scry too. And with this being a multiplayer deck you can usually afford a couple turns.

Mattacheu

True. The scry is amazing for digging, and my meta usually starts off slow anyways, so I'm good to go with that. I love this community :)

My meta is pretty slow too. It's super fun making a burn deck that can one shot everyone. The only problems are life gain. Specifically B/W extort and mono black devotion. Pretty hard to dethrone but my B/W extort and mono black devotion are better than theirs. 😈 or we just play limited influence.

Mattacheu

Everyone in my meta runs some sort of lifegain, so if you want someone dead, either you have to ask others to help you kill that person, which usually backfires, or try and wait things out until you have a board state that you can protect yourself, and one shot your opponent. Makes for long games, and sometimes a target out of yourself by staying nuetral. -.-' tis annoying.

LinkCelestrial

Play B/W extort and pillow fort the crap out of it. Everyone will slowly drain down while you go up, and they can do nothing. Or mono black devotion. The burst damage tends to draw less aggro. Either way {Erebos, God of the Dead} is your new best friend.

I've played so much life gain hate and have life gain that'll outlast and race everyone else so they've moved into other deck ideas.

The other thing is that {Rouge's Passage} and such go a looooong way in multiplayer.

Mattacheu

I can see why, especially with a consuming abberation later game. Or anything big for that matter. The silly thing is, in my meta, we have developed a rule where you can't make the same kind of decks, like mono black devotion, or b/w extort, as it forces us to expand, and find out what kind of different decks are out there. And the extort archetype has already been claimed, so none of that for me. Could probably make something with erobos work, could make a fun black red with him :P It's keeps things interesting, instead of 5 different people playing extort. That would be tiresome.

I've done two people extort me mono black devotion. I won. :D
