parasitian is correct, the right conditions are met I could possible cast it turn 4 if the right conditions are met, the fact that I could cast such a powerful black spell with a U/G deck with no black Mana is awesome.

Well, I love Sorin's Vengeance, it kicks huge ***, so even though it's "bad", I would run it in any deck that it fits into.
P.S. Please translate all strings of "" as "monkey to the face". Decipher that, eh?

what do you think about using a few Inkmoth Nexus as an alternate wincon?

I don't own any myself, and I'm not really crazy about buying/trading for any (personal preference here. I recognize it's a really great card, I'm just sort of indifferent), so I'll hold off on adding them to the above decklist.
Still, alternate win-cons are a good thing to have handy, so long as they don't interfere with your primary strategy. So yeah, whatever works! Go for it, I say.

hey dude, so i was really thinking hard because white humans is the real issue for this deck at my fmn. Grand Abolisher and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben really fuck shit up. by the time you have 4 mana to play Beast Within its usually too late.
So i think i came up with a solution in my deck deck:weather-report-foggy-with-a-chance-of-zombies
took out 1x forest and 1x island and put 2x Sulfur Falls for more red. Then sideboard in 3x Whipflare along with the 2 blasphemous acts.
Watcha think?
March 7, 2012 4:10 p.m.
Prototype of mine, mostly copied from this deck. :) Adjusted mainly for cards I don't and do have, with a backup plan of Fireball-you-for-20.

what about Mind Unbound for the extra draw? side board out sphinx because they may sideboard in kill spells for it, then boom same cost, just slower draw.
also, i put Praetor's Counsel in my deck last week, i got 4th, losing only to a pod deck, but it was HILARIOUS. i got alllll my spells back. LOVED IT.

im sure this has been said before but i didnt read every comment, but i would sideboard Grafdigger's Cage. I have a deck very similar to this one, and its great because players get all their cards out and are like "yes my awesome combo i s gonna come off." then you just fog it. But when their awesome combo involves Flayer of the Hatebound and Gravecrawlers, your kinda screwed lol.

I've recently created a burn version of this deck, named Tibalt's Turbofog to mirror this one. The two decks are now an adorable pair of blue milling and red burning, using BOTH Avacyn Restored planeswalkers.
Suddenly I want to play two-headed giant with them both.

+1 just because i so don't want to play against this at all...lol!

You could throw in Tezzeret's Gambit to pump up your planeswalkers. But maybe not.

I played the version before this and wanted to give you +1 for so many nights of trolololing. The only way I can see about improving this would be putting a one of Thrun, the Last Troll . Then before a match begins take him out and set him aside and tell them this is your commander. ;) Happy trolling!!

@compgurusteve Not going to lie, I am definitely a fan of that commander idea! That's the touch the deck needs, I'm sure of it.

Thought Scour if you ultimate tamiyo, you can thought scour yourself for a 3 card advantage.
May 9, 2012 5:53 p.m.
Holy crap! i just play tested this deck against mine 4 times, each time i wasn't able to touch you once after round three, This annoying deck definitely gets +1.
May 10, 2012 12:52 a.m.
first off, Moonmist. You can side it out if your opponent is playing too many wolves.
secondly, I'd keep Elixir of Immortality in your mainboard. Elixir of Immortality is a wincon too, and it can save you from Nephalia Drownyard decks.
I'd cut Jace, Memory Adept. It's more important for you to reliably cast fog than it is for you to power through with jace.
Also, if you need more reliable access to your fogs, or even Rites of Flourishing, Forbidden Alchemy will do that for you pretty well.

Amazing deck. I've found Otherworld Atlas kinda useless though. Maybe put in something such as some removal instead of it. Other than that, this deck kills. +1
May 12, 2012 2:25 a.m.
I agree with the Otherworld Atlas removal, but I would swap for more direct card draw, Tezzeret's Gambit maybe?
I disagree with removing Jace, Memory Adept the constant card draw keeping plenty of fog effects in hand is too good, and ultimatly, a win con.
Witchbane Orb is the card I really question, do they ever have a reason to make it in? And as a 3 of? I feel Devastation Tide would fit better as an emergency button, or maybe a sword or 2 for the Snapcaster Mage making an alternate wincon.
+1, this deffinatly looks scary
May 12, 2012 4:56 a.m.
Witchbane Orb is for burn/discard decks.
In testing, there were only two problems this deck had: Birthing Pod abusing undying to recur Acidic Slime multiple times, and Hellrider.

In the sideboard, could Negate possibly be replaced with Outwit? Don't they do the same thing, but for 1 less mana?
May 12, 2012 3:08 p.m.
dorminjake says... #25
@ryanw2011 Negate is more for countering other counterspells that try to nullify a critical Fog. I played against a UB Zombie deck recently, for example, that attacked for lethal damage and then tried to counter my Clinging Mists. That is what Negate is for. It can also counter planeswalkers and such, if it comes to that. Outwit doesn't work for any of those things.
Witchbane Orb does for me what Outwit would do, only it's on all the time and I don't have to keep land untapped to use it for a single-use effect.
