Soooo you kill yourself with Eidolon of the Great Revel or what? Seems bad.

You obviously haven't seen, or even paid attention, to any of the top decks. Like Jeremy Gentil, who made 1st with a deck that inspired the idea of this one, at All Stars - Normandy. Please play-test before you try to blindly insult a deck. Or understand how decks run.

Add Dictate of the Twin Gods so you double the damage dealt back from Boros Reckoner

Obviously. Sorry I guess I should have added a friendly emoticon or something. I just TOTALLY don't understand how people playing Eidolon survive when they're playing that many cheap cards. "Seems bad," was more of a comment than an insult, and my question wasn't rhetorical.

I mean I get the whole... you-kill-them-before-your-eidolon-kills-you thing, but how much do you have to actually play around it? Do you play it ASAP or wait till you blast him a couple of times? Seriously, because I don't have the opportunity to playtest risky looking cards... I was asking a question Mr. Sensitive.

Pseudolife Well, to put it in perspective, I played against Devotion to Black/Green and beat him in 3 of our 3 matches. He was playing THE deck to play. I beat U/W control 3/4 times in our matches. I beat MBD 2/2 in our games.

You play it ASAP in BG Devo and U/W control. Otherwise you hold off on it. You shouldn't need to play around it if you're playing the deck right. Your dudes have haste. If they manage to get a big field you've probably already lost. But punish them more for you losing 2 life. "I lost 2 life? Better swing at you for 8." Purphose synergies with it. You both loose 2 life. Then you swing with your haste dudes.

Haldred Dictate is a bit too slow for how the deck should run. I tried it, but it just never got used. Always other cards I would rather spend that mana on.

ah haaaaaa I see.... that is true, it is very good versus the meta. Hmmmm I wonder if it would work in my deck...
