You make a very good point. I hadn't even thought of the possibility of using fetches and shocks as combat tricks! xD

round 3

Wowo, that looks evil! Way to go! I love it.

@hateindigital

Thanks a ton!

@JuninhoDarkSide

I'm glad you like it!! Have any suggestions?

Sooo through all my playtests, Surgical Extraction really hasn't done much for me in most matchups. It certainly shines in some cases, but I really don't think a full set is needed.

hmmm. what to put in?

hmm what to put in... Kin-Tree Invocation? just play test a couple copies and see what happens. still trips delver.

Just for a point of comparison, here is my suicide delver if you're curious Dath's butt (just made un-private, usually I just use them for decktracking purposes. Sideboard isn't the same).

I miss Apostle's Blessing sometimes, but it's good against if you can stop a creature flood, otherwise it struggles.

If you're looking for more creatures / green splash, Varolz, the Scar-Striped is certainly a good one, with crazy interaction with Death's Shadow.

Another fun card is Rite of Consumption for sideboard / mainboard against certain matchups.

Oh man and I forgot, Postmortem Lunge is another good one, depending on how you build your deck, or a meta call.

I think 2 Postmortem Lunge is a great idea

WOW! Phyrexian Unlife and Melira, Sylvok Outcast are hysterical together. +1

@AlbinoRaven

Yeah they are! You missed the +1 button though.

I think you forgot about Etched Monstrosity, though you will need more Melira, Sylvok Outcast or more Time of Need to fetch her.

I say we take out 2x Surgical Extractions for 2x Abrupt Decays

@wcdorrell

5cmc seems way too much here.

Don't forget Surgical Extraction hits non basic lands have you considered Mutagenic Growth

@nickembry

I know it does.

Mutagenic Growth was here, but wasn't necessary. With Death's Shadow, fetch lands become combat tricks to pump it, which makes using a spell slot pointless. Mutagenic Growth came out to put in Orzhov Charm which has proven highly useful for all 3 of its modes.

Is there a reason for for the urborg over another fetch or shock land

Its really good here for when we're below 0 life and topdeck a fetch...we can't use it to fetch (because we can't pay life if we have none to pay), so it becomes a swamp instead of being totally useless.

So big, so fast! I'm glad I stayed up all night and made that general idea list or we wouldn't have gotten anywhere!

Now that I think about it, I really want to add Varolz, the Scar-Striped to the list.

If we add it, we should remove Thrun. Though Varolz really only interacts with Death's Shadow. We want to make sure we don't have too many creatures, so Delver still flips.

i say we move Thrun, the Last Troll to SB and mb it in case of control

I also think we can cut Idyllic Tutor (it's a bit too slow) and we should run 1xTemple Garden

We could also put Varolz in the SB and use Glittering Wish to fetch him whenever pertinent, if we decide to add Wish.
