Trying Again At MBC

[Thorn]

My friend has a mono-white exile deck with {Feind Hunter}
{Oblivion Ring}
{Journey to Nowhere}
{Swords To Plowshares}
and other junk and it shuts down my oblitorator every time.

Lets just say that {Duress} has helped me more than anything else.

With your mana curve so low, you may want to replace dark ritual with other cards.

But with dark ritual I can get {phyrexian obliterator out turn 2, so wouldn't I rather cut swamps?

[Coffee Vampire]

hooooly crap I didn't notice you had only 20 lands!! keep the rituals.

But just so ya know, if you have less than 24 lands it is usually not good to cut lands out for other spells. You can, but it will affect everything a lot more. Also, getting phyrexian oblit out t2 is good but just be careful on basing your reason for having a card on just 1 situation. If you don't pull the combo off by turn 4 you might as well have run other cards besides ritual.

Ik I only have 20 lands, but the highest CMC of anything is 4, so do I really need 24 lands

And with {phyrexian obliterator}, it came down to me needing a win condition and a way to control the board, and it does both, so I cut {the rack} for it. Do you think it was worth it?

[Coffee Vampire]

yeah, having a win con is important. You can't just ping them and make them discard forever...you have to win somehow! Obliterator is a really good win con.
