Sphinxes reinstated for good behavior.

@mmazach I chose red over white simply because Blasphemous Act MTG Card: Blasphemous Act is easier to cast then the double-white Day of JudgmentMTG Card: Day of Judgment, though to be honest I think DoJ is just dandy in this deck. Stonehorn DignitaryMTG Card: Stonehorn Dignitary is also a good option. I mostly just went red out of preference. I think either splash color is fine here.

Along those same lines, black might even be a decent option for milling purposes. Black Sun's ZenithMTG Card: Black Sun's Zenith would be your board wipe, and you could use things like MemoricideMTG Card: Memoricide and Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extraction (which I have) to delete things from your opponent's library. The colors in this deck are really pretty negotiable, after blue and green.

Its funny I saw some person running a very similar deck, he used white instead of red for day of judgement and Phyrexian UnlifeMTG Card: Phyrexian Unlife, he also had some life-gaining effects, like Elixir of ImmortalityMTG Card: Elixir of Immortality and Pristine TalismanMTG Card: Pristine Talisman but they didn't use MoonmistMTG Card: Moonmist, Blunt the AssaultMTG Card: Blunt the Assault, and Rites of FlourishingMTG Card: Rites of Flourishing. I witnessed him winning an opponent's spirit deck. I asked him if he got the idea from a website, but he said he thought of it himself.

Turbofog is an archetype that's been around for a while (example: http://www.wizards.com/magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/deck/191), so it isn't really all that original. But now that there's a fourth green fog in standard (thanks, Clinging MistsMTG Card: Clinging Mists), it's no surprise that it's popping up here and there among more experimental types.

It's one of the crazier older ones, but yeah.

I'm an old player, so I remember the old archetypes :D and while yes Venser + Stonehorn is virtually similar and has been run a bit lately (at least in my meda in UW Control decks), the joy of 16 fogs (18 in mine if you count Gideon), 4 noxious revivals, and in my case two doj... gets silly fast :) Hell, I've even thought of adding Charmbreaker DevilsMTG Card: Charmbreaker Devils to keep getting the fogs back. Oh and Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus as an alternate win con that NO ONE sees coming in a turbo fog deck is priceless (which is why I also run Karn LiberatedMTG Card: Karn Liberated)

Oh my gods, Charmbreaker DevilsMTG Card: Charmbreaker Devils! I...I want to run these. I--. Yes indeed.

Dies horrifically to removal, but so does Consecrated SphinxMTG Card: Consecrated Sphinx. The Sphinx's enemy draw step ability triggers sooner than the Devils' your next upkeep ability though, so sorcery-speed removal would kill the devils without you ever getting to net any card advantage.

And both are 6-drops. I'm going to have to think about this for--

Nvm, I'm including Charmbreaker DevilsMTG Card: Charmbreaker Devils, because Charmbreaker DevilsMTG Card: Charmbreaker Devils.

Thanks Nephilim!

I applaud you good sir. I would probably also Update the chat to somewhat clear up this 80+ posts so its easier read so long as there arent still applicable suggestions.

But, even if there is only 2 or 3, I would definately add back in Jace's ErasureMTG Card: Jace's Erasure. Its such a hard to deal with card pre-side board and even if you only get 1 out, its still that extra mill a turn. It would just make things faster.

Charmbreaker DevilsMTG Card: Charmbreaker Devils is a truly fantastic suggestion. Cudoes Nephilim =)

I, personally, see a lot of werewolves with Kessig, so I'm wondering what this deck would do against them? Moonmist is crap against them and they can be awfully agro. Anything on that? Oh, and +1 because I love Turbo-Fog builds

Charmbreaker DevilsMTG Card: Charmbreaker Devils is so nuts.

Most fun thing in the world is to have only DissipateMTG Card: Dissipates in your yard and Devils on the board. Guess what's going to be played whenever your opponent plays a spell? :D It's even worth using a Nihil SpellbombMTG Card: Nihil Spellbomb on yourself for.

In my opinion Jace's Erasure is worth it. Even as a 2-3 of. A turn 2 erasure, turn 3 rite, (turn 4 looking pretty) turn 5 jace is the stupidest play you can do. And by stupid I mean the best. I use it in my (somewhat less than stellar) deck:blue-green-standard-mill-fog. Regardless I still think this deck is awesome and taking it to an FNM gets credit from me.

Nephilim says... #18

@wizard924- I've beaten Kessig on a consistent basis. Hell, this FNM I was at 1 life and 9 infect but he couldn't get the job done before I milled him out. In decks like this, think of life (and poison) as just another resource to stall with. It kills me to watch people Fog against four or even six points of damage.

@wizard924 The only card werewolves really ruin is MoonmistMTG Card: Moonmist, which is more annoying than game breaking for game 1. After game 1, you just sideboard in something to replace the Moonmists, perhaps Witchbane OrbMTG Card: Witchbane Orbs to prevent the damage caused by Ravager of the FellsMTG Card: Ravager of the Fells flipping or something unexpected like a Tovolar's MagehunterMTG Card: Tovolar's Magehunter.

i wonder if is playable in a turbo fog, gain some life while negating combat, then if you can't mill them, you can deplete their life with the flip, Chalice of DeathMTG Card: Chalice of Death

February 28, 2012 2:57 p.m.

oh also, check out my current FNM baby, Son of a Lich! [U/B Control]

dorminjake says... #22

I don't see working well. My usual strategy is to tank the first few hits from creatures before I start fogging, which usually takes me down pretty low. Since the chalice only restores 1 life per activation, it's going to take a really long time to get to 30, even with Blunt the AssaultMTG Card: Blunt the Assault helping on occasion.

Anyway, if I had room for the chalice, I'd probably put Jace's ErasureMTG Card: Jace's Erasure back in instead. As it stands, the Erasures really just make my opponent angry more than it actually wins games, but at least it synergizes well with everything else in the deck.

If only Howling MineMTG Card: Howling Mine/ Jace BelerenMTG Card: Jace Beleren was in standard...

Maybe Turn the TideMTG Card: Turn the Tide over MoonmistMTG Card: Moonmist?

Hysterical BlindnessMTG Card: Hysterical Blindness works good too
