I've recently made changes and have yet to update. They were place holder for duals and fetches for the time being

Instead of using Tainted Isle and Tainted Field, you should consider Fetid Heath, Sunken Ruins, and Mystic Gate. They are typically much better.

Of course I'd make that mistake lol. Have to forgive me. I ended up getting most of the old duels and have yet to physically put them into the deck haha

Thanks for posting this to my wall. Think I need to add like, three-four more tutors, 5-6 more mana rocks and maybe the grand architect combo. If you wouldn't mind checking out my current list and letting me know what you think I should switch up i'd appreciate it. Link here:

Overhauling the deck today, adding a primer, and doing general touch ups to the description today. Can't wait to see how she works now

I'm surprised Vampiric Tutor Isn't in the list

+1 Awesome deck

Nvm I clearly cannot read

PutridLeech do not feel bad. I posted in forum about a land sucking because it came into play tapped. Then realized it did in fact not come into play tapped. Then a feeling of dread as yet again I was wrong...it came into play tapped :P

Just curious if you still have the old list that was more casual oriented? The people I play with range from kitchen table to cutthroat so having a more "for fun" deck while still keeping around the esper artifacts with a board of more competitive cards to add in would be great for me. I only ask because I've loved pretty much every iteration of this deck, the fact that its esper artifacts is just icing :P

Necrotize I don't have the original decklist. I'm sure if I was a nice guy I could go ahead and tomorrow after I've completed the primer for this deck I'll supply you with a decklist I remember.

@Deckologist Aww thanks so much

No hurry though, would definitely love to see the primer for this so I can work on what to cut from the deck I'm making or decide if anything you have demands a place.

Wow, how did you do the custom categories thing?

Pound sign after each card followed by the name you want for the category.

Yes. For instance if I want something in my utility section it is followed by #utility

I'm sure the only reason you don't have it yet is because of monetary restrictions, but I'll say it anyway: Mana Crypt. Also, Grim Tutor is far superior to Cruel Tutor, as it puts the card into your hand rather than on top of your library.

This little she devil is coming out of retirement for a local tournament. making some changes and will be posting them.

Trimmed a Bunch of fat today. This deck won me 2 tournaments already and has been kickin ass in every game its played in!!!

SHE'S BACK!!!!

I'd just like to ask. Why Cancel instead of Dissolve?

I can't really give you an answer other than I completely forgot about it. It will replace cancel. Thank you for mentioning it.

Yeah no problem! I thought it looked out of place in a deck as tuned as this.

Noticed I forgot Change some ramp. That's what I get for being hasty. Will change soon

Muzzio, Visionary Architect can put in some work finding lots of artifacts off the top of your library. Also out of curiosity. Is there a reason you aren't running Darksteel Forge? Seems like an auto-include but i could be missing something.

Hey there, thanks for the upvote and the suggestions. This is the hyper competitive version of "Sydri is Just Meh". Muzzio, while awesome and almost like having a second Arcum, was just too slow for this version of the deck. He has made it into other incarnations of it though and Im contemplating throwing him back into the version I am running now. This deck's main focus is to blow up lands infinitely as soon as possible (turns 2-4) so Darksteel forge becomes unnecessary for this build but just like the case of Muzzio it has found its way into other incarnations of this deck. Thanks again for the suggestions!

Loving how this deck is coming together. It's probably more of a meta thing, but maybe replace Victim of Night with Vindicate. You lose the instant speed and it costs 1 more, but covers a lot more which can be a godsend against more oppressive enchantments and artifacts. Can also be used to mana screw opponents early in the game if they're running 3+ colors.

Another nice card to consider could be Intuition or Mystical Teachings over Diabolic Intent. Only reason I'd maybe favor those two over Intent is because of your low creature count and the fact that only 3 of your creatures can be sacrificed without losing anything important(since they're ETB creatures).
