Missing Pieces —Dec. 17, 2015

Finally got my hands on a Command Beacon, so out comes Dust Bowl as I barely ever use it for land destruction.

The only reason I run the Boonweaver combo is because if I happen to draw Pattern of Rebirth, I can put it on any creature - even one of Ghave's tokens - and then sacrifice that creature to Ghave, Guru of Spores. I don't actually need both parts of the combo to get it started. Additionally, I can tutor for Boonweaver and Viscera Seer with Tooth and Nail which allows me to combo more readily. If you think you can reliably sacrifice any creature at any time, then it might be worth it to play the combo.

As for other suggestions, I don't really have much. Unless your group ignores the new rules on tuck, I would replace Oblation with Council's Judgment. As for additional removal, you can play Oblivion Ring, Banishing Light, or the new Grasp of Fate.

Other than that, it seems good. Very detailed and efficient.

Cheers for the feedback.

As long as I can get a sac outlet, if I can draw either piece I can still go into combo. But yeah, its all reliant on the deck drawing a sac outlet. And since I only have 4 "combo" outlets I'm still wary.

I have considered running more but they just feel like such a dead draw 99% of the time. I'll tell you what though, the second they release a green Viscera Seer I will be in heaven.

My playgroup abides by the new rules (stupid as they are) so Oblation is much weaker however I have to say I do like the instant speed that it gives. I am on the fence about it though, I'm not a fan of giving my opponents cards.

I do like Grasp of Fate, it does look very powerful. I'll stick it on the maybe board for now.

If it's something you're on the fence about, it might not be worth it. It works really well for me because of the utility provided by Ghave, Guru of Spores, but that's something you may be lacking. You have a very strong deck as is, and Boonweaver Giant is not the most mana efficient combo. Including it may remove some necessary utility or more efficient cards.

I personally wouldn't advise running Boonweaver combo here, simply because so many of the key cards that make the combo so brutally efficient like Buried Alive, Victimize, and, of course, Viscera Seer itself aren't available to you. Your current combo shell seems more than adequate without trying to force a less efficient version of Boonweaver.

NarejED: Yeah, I've looked at the combo but it's just too hard to make work in the build. The biggest issue the deck runs into is getting a sac outlet down and Boonweaver Giant doesn't help with that. I recently added Tooth and Nail (it was banned in the league I play in but there is some down time at the moment) which I think helps the dck much better o nthe whole than just adding another combo.

But yeah, if they ever released a function reprint of Viscera Seer in great that would be amazing. I used to run Gobbling Ooze in a much older version of the deck but it's just not the same.
