Jimmy_Chinchila I never liked Lost Legacy.

I like Transgress the Mind better than Lay Bare the Heart for what this deck wants to do.

I can put any cards in my Sideboard that I want to. It's really no one's business.

Argy What is your thought of throwing in Gonti, Lord of LuxuryThat's what I'm leaning towards doing with my BW control

AgentGreen to me the card is too risky.

You don't know if what you hit will be helpful or not.

Since Control is really about the certainty that you can deal with whatever the Opponent throws at you, it is kind of the Opposite of that.

It also comes out quite early and isn't a game changer like the other Creatures in the deck. It also doesn't have any evasion.

If you can see it you working in your local meta, then go for it.

I won't be adding it to this deck.

I look at it this way

Since my metta is chock full of Marvel, it's a reliable way to damage a deck

Dispossess Would be nice; but I have none in my possession.

Anguished Unmaking & Cast Out both have the same problem; by the time they throw down Marvel; before you have a chance to remove it they will have most likely enough energy to spin and a T4 Ulamog is a bad day.

Well yeah, that is the point of Marvel, after all.

Ulamog is not always guaranteed on Turn 4. Then you break their shit and watch them cry.

If it does come out, and you have four lands, you can always Dec in Stone Ulamog.

True, but not before suffering extreme pain at the loss of two permanents so early in the game

I have a soft spot for anything that features a playset of My Preferred Unconditional Kill Spell.

Simon_Williamson I am partial to that spell too.

Especially in this deck, which has so much life gain.

Sad to see it rotate out.

The Pioneer version of this is much stronger, but I've hidden it from prying LGS eyes.

Got a notification you posted on this old deck and it took me back (almost 5 years). It was fun trying to help suggest cards to help balance this deck and experiment with my own version back then. Hope your deck crafting is still going well for you.

razelfark yeah it was fun building, and tweaking, this deck.

It's probably the deck I have played competitively the most often.

Since I have had it for such a long time, I have slowly blinged it out, over the years.

Where available, all cards are alt art.

Thanks for the comment!
