at least replace it with Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
August 14, 2014 2:08 a.m.
@pyroassassin: PrimeTime is significantly stronger than Vorinclex in this deck.
@TurboFagoot: I'm not gonna question the title, I give up on trying to figure it out, but I do have one question... how do you win?
And I fail to see any reanimation....

This isn't a reanimator deck, so why would you?
I win by connecting with creatures. Either ones in my deck, or generated by the planeswalkers. Damia beats win games eventually. It's a control deck, it grinds out that way.

Also ults like Jace/Karn/Vraska, etc. have won many games.

Every time I check the comments on this deck I have a good laugh.

@ChiefBell: What, have you figured it out? Or is it just funny?
August 14, 2014 4:51 a.m.
It's just that everyone expects the deck to do what the name suggests instead of just reading the list and working it out for themselves. Every few months you get someone saying 'this isn't boros' 'this isn't reanimator' as if the poster is somehow clueless instead of figuring out that it's just a joke.

So it has the most backasswards name ever just to attract attention. Seems legit.

Fulcrum: Win loss ratio is about 80/20 in my favor
The numbers vary, I obviously don't track every game I've played over the year or two I've been tuning the deck, but it's pretty high.

No Chain Veil. It's slow, expensive, and often dead.

Have you tried Cabal Coffers / Profane Command to go with your Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth ?

Cabal Coffers can't tap for mana on it's own, which is a huge detriment. I never want to use my tutors to find the other half of that little combo, and Coffers isn't strong enough on it's own. (Unlike Urborg, which fixes for me) Profane Command is also kind of weak.
August 15, 2014 1:19 a.m.
Fair enough. So then I take it this deck plays out exactly like it looks to; grindy, grindy and a bit more grindy for good measure?
one other card I don't know if you've considered - Runechanter's Pike .

Pretty much! I'm not a fan of any Equipment (Short of Batterskull, which is more of a creature). Getting in beats for 2 or so at a time is often good enough, and the Equipment would rot in my hand most of the game. If I were to run an Equipment, I'd probably run Feast and Famine.
August 15, 2014 1:50 a.m.
Couldn't PrimeTime fetch Coffers/Urborg for you? Or is it still just not worth it?
August 15, 2014 2:39 a.m.
TurboFagoot says... #25
It could, but then I'd need a third card to be a mana sink to make it worth it. And more often than not, finding a Wasteland/Tarpit/random utility land is better than more mana.
I mean, I'm resolving a Primeval Titan trigger, mana should be no concern at that point.
TurboFagoot says... #1
Why? The card is really good.
