Specifically, we need a lot of Instants and Sorceries for Delver of Secrets  Flip.

I don't think we want Goyf here. Most Delver decks run 12 creatures, lands, and instants/sorceries. We'd be playing a set of at least 1 enchantment (a la Phyrexian Unlife) and can't cut into instants/sorceries to fit it because we HAVE to be able to flip Delver of Secrets  Flip.

I think Delver, Shadow, and Unlife should be our only non-land permanents in the mainboard.

@Kiora_Fan-01

Just saw your post on his wall...I'm looking forward to it!

I disagree. I still like the 2-of on Obliterator. Its is very powerful, and not many answers for it in all honesty. Get out of here with Dismember. Thats a side card and yall know it. Haha

@Scytec Dismember is great for what we're doing 1 mana + 4 life to -5/-5 anything is quite good.

Scytec says... #7

No no no. Haha. I know it is great for US. but most people sideboard it. I meant for use against our Obliterator.

Can I get the orb list I really wanna build that too?

@hateindigital

TheGamer put a list up, I'm sure he could point you to it.

@All

I definitely think Thoughtseize (or some other hand disruption spell) is necessary.

I think we need to finalize what removal spells we want to play though. There are a ton of great ideas floating around for this, mostly in .

I really think Path to Exile is a must have, maybe 2-3 copies, so that should leave another few slots open for other removal.

Also, thoughts on Remand?

Remand is a good card, but I feel like we're playing an aggro deck. Suicide Black Aggro.

TheHroth says... #14

Seems legit

klone13 says... #15

i dislike Remand. I don't know why. But I do not want to put it in the deck.

Is a splash of red viable here? Things like Goblin Guide, Lightning Bolt, and Monastery Swiftspear can get in some early damage, and allow Death's Shadow to come out faster.

Scytec says... #17

Removal package suggestion:

4 Thoughtseize

4 Mana Leak

3 Path to Exile

2 Negate

2 Devour in Shadow

@TheGamer

I really don't think we should go 5 colour....we're already thinking of splashing for Melira, Sylvok Outcast to negate the effects of Phyrexian Unlife, and give us a pseudo-Platinum Angel effect.

December 13, 2014 10:05 a.m.

Scytec says... #19

This mana base though...haha. if were splashing this much, hell, we need playset of Mana Confluence. Which might not be a bad thing considering...couple of fetches, couple of pain lands. A shock or two for good measure. :) Hell, we'll kill ourself in no time. :p

December 13, 2014 10:07 a.m.

TheHroth says... #20

@Scytec

Thats the idea! Haha. Mana Confluence and City of Brass sounds fun. ;)

December 13, 2014 10:17 a.m.

Scytec says... #21

We'll need them. :p

December 13, 2014 10:18 a.m.

TheGamer says... #22

Oh, i had no idea we were five color. I thought we were just 2 as of right now :P

December 13, 2014 10:57 a.m.

Scytec says... #23

We aren't I think we are esper splash green for Melira

December 13, 2014 12:47 p.m.

BlackyMTG says... #24

I thought we were four colors because Green and White both had 3 votes. Green gives us a lot though.
