what about Pyroblast for hot anti-counterspell action?

Real-talk, I feel like Pyroblast is far too specific and hateful. If you were to play that spell over something like Dispel (does the same thing here, easier mana cost for me), I feel like I could get grumbles from a few players. I kinda built the deck with every meta in mind. I try to keep the deck free of cards most people would hate but still keep the deck feeling pretty tuned.

Yep makes sense. I use it in jeleva because its not a dead card on exile.

Ugin? He doesn't want to kill the eldrazi! TOO progressive, if you ask me.

December 3, 2015 8:44 p.m.

Arvail says... #12

I could, but Ugin's not really a legendary creature and making a budget deck in colorless that's any good is kinda hard without it devolving into your standard colorless deck. For the most part, those decks tend to become a race to ramp and push out fatties. That's not really something that appeals to me nor is it something that would represent Ugin well either.

Split Decision fits the awesome theme. I'd run it over Delay.

Spellskite too.

+1!

Arvail says... #16

Hmmm. The split decision is worth considering. The spell skite, however, is far above the price range of the deck. Keep in mind that this deck is supposed to fit most metas. As such, it has a pretty tight budget. I wanted to keep it below 150.

Had to +1 this because of the all the great effort for the description. Well done good sir. Well done.

hi; first time on your page just a suggestion avitar of woe is broken and i think would be a nice addition to your deck if you can fit it in.

Would Bolas or Trump be a worse president?

December 29, 2015 5:12 p.m.

Arvail says... #22

That depends on the brand of fascism you prefer.

December 29, 2015 7:21 p.m.

Bolas is a muthafuckin dragon! He's worth a million trumps. When he was young, he got a "small loan" of INFINITE POWER!

TikiShades says... #24

I would try to add one or two more lands. 36 is pretty low considering your commander not only costs 7, but requires upkeep to stick around.

Also, no Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker?

December 29, 2015 8:12 p.m.

Arvail says... #25

This is true. Bolas walker is 9 bucks. That's a little hefty for this deck.
