So what do you think? I'll be playing it this FNM and I see it doing really, really well.

[MacUser001]

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

[MacUser001]

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.

[Appleguru56]

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

[Spikepit]

{Grave Titan}
{Lashwrithe}
{Mimic Vat}

[MacUser001]

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.

[Appleguru56]

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.

[MacUser001]

So mixed emotions on the Tutor, huh?

[BlackJester]

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.

[MacUser001]

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.

[Queezle]

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.

[BlackJester]

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*
