True!
Chalice can't block either. Hmmm. Time for some sneaky board wipe mayhem!!

You can try to run Phantasmal Image to deal with Thrun as well. You'll just snipe their Thrun with the legend rule.

Very true. I used to SB Phantasmal Image, but it got crowded out. Luckily, I have been very successful with Tribute to Hunger, although I'm always very close to putting Phantasmal Image back in thanks to Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and several other legendary creatures being added to the Standard pool.
Thanks for the comment!

Total competitive record is up to 18-3-3! I have one more tournament to play tomorrow night before I retire this deck at the release of Dark Ascension, hopefully with a 21-3-3 record!
Thanks for all of the help!

(1-1-1 FNM record not in tournament activity breakdown, but reflected in total competitive score. I left the tournament early due to an emergency so I missed 2 matches).

This deck is officially retired at 21-3-3. A 7:1 win-loss ratio. Excellent! Thanks for all of the help to everyone who gave input and critique!
On to bigger (and hopefully better) things!

Have to admit to loving the look of the deck and I am going to build something based on it. Thanks for the inspiration Steimtime. Great deck. +1 from me.

since you are resurrecting this... Tragic Slip needs a spot yeah?

This is how its looking so far after a tiny bit of play-testing. Still contemplating going down to 3x Dissipate because of today's faster paced meta and MBing a Negate in its place instead for swords, planeswalkers, ect.
Maining another Dismember because it can still take out Inkmoth Nexus, Phyrexian Obliterator , and most other threats. Titans I can usually counter, remove, or take with Volition Reins.
Got rid of my singleton Grave Titan (sad day) but I felt like with all the swords and crusaders running around and Day of Judgments he is less effective that usual.
Contemplating going up to 3x Black Sun's Zenith but finding it hard to convince myself. Input?
Tragic Slip earns itself a place in the SB for now as another answer to fast decks or if I need increased removal.
Comments much appreciated. Thanks!

Here's how it looks so far. 3x BSZ. 1x Batterskull for RDW. Kept 4x Dissipate. Added Drownyards.

you have a LOT of wincons :P just sayin. i run 2 Grave Titan, 2 Consecrated Sphinx, 1 Sorin Markov, 1 skittles, and 2 Nephalia Drownyard. lol i guess we have the same number...:/ but you have a lot of planeswalkers is what i'm really trying to say. Idk how you feel about that, but they can't block /:
