Blood Moon and Platinum Emperion are both one card combo's that generate free wins. Both cards require specific answers. These answers either get taken with Thoughtseize/Collective Brutality or your opponent has a hand full of narrow enchantment/artifact removal and you Jund 'em out with Liliana/Goyf/Grim Flayer. When you do go the Jund 'em out plan Platinum Emperium and Blood Moon's card types become relevant making Goyf and Grim Flayer big.
Questions
- Thoughtseize for Inquisition MB - How often am I wishing I could take a 4+cmc card with Inquisition? How close are life totals?
- Swap some number of Terminates for Fatal Push?
Match Guide
Unsure About SB
Living End - Race. They need 1RG or 1RB to cascade making Blood Moon ok but it won't stop most cycle cards. Watch out for land destruction.
- OUT: 3 Liliana of the Veil, 4 Madcap Experiment, 2 Platinum Emperion
- IN: 3 Anger of the Gods, 4 Dark Confidant, 2 Kolaghan's Command
Bant Eldrazi - The main deck is pretty solid vs them. Not sure what to change post board.
Tron - Eldrazi - Unsure about Madcap/Platinum here. Drawing cards off Bob be better?
- OUT: 2 Collective Brutality
- IN: 2 Maelstrom Pulse
Burn - Can't decide if TS should come out or not. Searing Blaze against Birds is too good - Birds get cut.
- OUT: 4 Birds of Paradise
- IN: 2 Huntmaster of the Fells, 2 Kolaghan's Command
Dredge
- OUT: 3 Liliana of the Veil, 4 Blood Moon
- IN: 3 Anger of the Gods, 2 Maelstrom Pulse, 1 Olivia Voldaren, 1 Huntmaster of the Fells
Sun and Moon - Unsure about Madcap/Platinum. Castable through Blood Moon and doesn't use the GY but can be killed with Path/Nahiri. Would Dark Confidant be better?
- OUT: 2 Terminate, 4 Blood Moon, 2 Collective Brutality
- IN: 2 Maelstrom Pulse, 2 Kolaghan's Command, 2 Huntmaster, 1 Olivia, 1 Abrupt Decay,
Bogles - Do you leave in lock cards? Or are they too slow? Could go full Jund and just hope to use Bob to draw into Liliana.
- OUT: 3 Terminate, 2 Collected Brutality
- IN: 2 Maelstrom Pulse, 2 Kolaghan's Command, 1 Abrput Decay
Cheerios - Can storm out on T2.
- OUT: 4 Blood Moon, 4 Madcap Experiment, 2 Platinum Emperion
- IN: 2 Maelstrom Pulse, 2 Kolaghan's Command, 4 Dark Confidant, 1 Olivia, 1 Abrupt Decay
Confident SB Plan
Creature Aggro - Kill all the things and lock out with Emperion. Brutality is really good against Collected Company and Master of Waves. Blood Moon is prob situational (mono vs dual color also dorks vs none).sd

Valakut Primetime (G/R) - Blood Moon and Liliana are great. Assume obstinate Baloth from the SB (careful with Liliana).

- IN: 2 Maelstrom Pulse, 4 Dark Confidant, 2 Kolaghan's Command
Scapeshift (G/R/U) - Blood Moon and Liliana are great. Assume obstinate baloth/titans from the SB (careful with Liliana/). Killing snap/return from GY best Kolaghan's Command mode to dodge Baloth.
