Everywhere (a la Conspiracy ). I really need to rename this though...the "flying" part came from the original build when I had Fling and I would Imprint it onto Isochron Scepter

I'm surprised that more R/G/B decks don't run a similar strategy to mine. Am I doing something wrong? Kresh's Highscore! (Work in Progress) Any help you could give me would be great.

Elemental Mastery could give you a lot of creatures to sac every turn.

Geth's Verdict , Diabolic Edict and Tribute to the Wild fit the deck and would also fit inside your nifty Isochron Scepter .

The original deck list had Fling , which I would imprint onto Isochron Scepter , allowing me to "throw" Squirrels at my opponents. I really need to change that, but haven't had much time to give it much thought. The new name still has to include Squirrels somehow, which narrows down my options.

+1!

Although, I do think that Summoning Trap , might be better placed in a sideboard. I realize almost every blue deck uses counters, but unless you're going against one, wouldn't it pretty much be useless? I mean, for the "trap" cost anyway.

Thanks for the +1

I like it MB because it lets me dig deeper than just the top 1-2 cards at instant speed. Even if I'm not playing against counters, the 6 cmc and Instant speed is worth it to me to be able to "sneak" in a large creature to block when they think they're getting in. Plus, even against counters, I've only ever casted it for 0 once or twice anyway. That's just a bonus.

Oh hey! I didn't notice it was an instant, that indeed changes things! I'm a bit drunk, so blame the vodka lolIn that case, it absolutely needs to stay in the mainboard.

Have you thought about abandoning the squirrels? They just seem like more of a gimmick than anything. I have the same sort of issue with my zombie deck. Szadek, Lord of Secrets seems to have no place with his high cmc, I really do need to kill him off...

It's definitely a bit gimmicky, but it really doesn't negatively affect the deck any. Conspiracy just lets Cavern of Souls make all my creatures uncounterable. And Deranged Hermit , which is the only thing that actually relates to squirrels, brings tokens. If I pulled him out, it would be to bring an different token producing creature so it's kinda pointless. Plus, once I get the Phyrexian Altar , I have a round-about drawn out way to get infinite squirrels using Hermit (along with 4 other cards lol).
