I haven't played this deck since around the time that Bant Eldrazi and the like started gaining traction, but it actually worked out OK. I normally went 2-2 at my LGS. I used to run 2 copies of Quest for the Nihil Stone, which Smallpox helped turn on quicker leaving them not much left to do. There is soooo much discard in this deck it's not even funny.

Though now that Fatal Push is a thing, I could probably drop Smallpox.

It was Jund/Grixis, Nahiri Emrakul (A lot of this going on towards the end), Burn, Soul Sisters, and Mardu Tokens.

Can you break down what helps you in each of those named match ups? Like what you would side in vs Jund or Grixis, etc.

I have been building my JUND Midrange Deck recently. I haven't played 8 Rack since somewhere around Shadows Over Innistrad.

saturn999 I had to stop playing 8 Rack because I couldn't keep up with my meta. That and Leyline of Sanctity was in EVERY sideboard. But regardless, If I have ensnaring bridge in play, it lets me find another way to win as long as I can keep it in play. No worries.

Love the deck but this has at least 10 racks and not 8

Great Rack build! I gauge that based off how incredibly un-fun it looks to play against lol. I pity your opponent.

Balaam__ It is a lot of fun to play against. I'm not sure what you're talking about....

I just meant in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way, not serious at all. Depending on what archetype you’re playing I’m sure there’s some excellent matches that can be very tense. I suppose I just never fare well against rack decks, is all I meant. Again, it’s a great build.

No worries. I was just joking. Lol. I know exactly what you mean. This is the only deck I’ve ever had someone rage quit against. Lol
