Revoke Existence shoulld be taken out of main board since you can't plan on your opponent having artifacts or enchantments. maybe throw in Merfolk Looter so just in case you draw the Blightsteel Colossus you can just discard it and it goes back into the deck. you should also run Glacial Fortress to get more W or U land whenever. maybe even throw Jace, Memory Adept into your sideboard for going up against other control decks

Nihil Spellbomb is pretty much a must for sideboard since a lot of people play with cards such as Snapcaster Mage , it is an amazing anti-gy deck such as esper control (solar flare).

How effective is DispatchMTG Card: Dispatch? I feel like you might have a bit of trmouble getting Metalcraft sometimes without any Artifact spells and only relying on Splicers/Master's CallMTG Card: Master's Call.

Also, y u no Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress?

And for your sideboard, I'd add at least one more Day of JudgmentMTG Card: Day of Judgment. I'm not sure what the point of Master SplicerMTG Card: Master Splicer is.

thanks for the comment zandl. Honestly the DispatchMTG Card: Dispatches got removed awhile ago but i guess i forgot to change it. They are now Think TwiceMTG Card: Think Twices. Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress is hard to pull off i feel with so many special lands, so it usually comes in tapped.

as for the Master SplicerMTG Card: Master Splicers, after my first round I usually side out the Shape AnewMTG Card: Shape Anew and its counterpart for them and the two other Phantasmal ImageMTG Card: Phantasmal Images. They look our for Shape AnewMTG Card: Shape Anew and Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus but then end up getting hard with aggro golems.

jan2692wal No room to put in another one.

why not run Precursor GolemMTG Card: Precursor Golem? that way, you get more golems, and then you can mass Shape anew them for more Blightsteels (or more precursor golems).

I see why you wouldn't, but its a fun combo to use.

Venser, the SojournerMTG Card: Venser, the Sojourner. So good in this deck.

Your deck seems to run smoothly. 2 things: 1 you should swap inkmoth nexus for glacial fortress (you have no proliferate or other infect). 2 you should have 1 more plains and 1 less island.please look and comment on my own decks.

Inkmoth NexusMTG Card: Inkmoth Nexus is sac fodder for Shape AnewMTG Card: Shape Anew.

And since you were bashing on some other decks and this is the third stupid comment i read from you m12fox, i'll add this: please go back to pokemon CCG, thanks.

I see that you like pokemon, I'll make sure to add next time that you choose pikachu against my Emrakul, the Aeons TornMTG Card: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn when we met.

I play only EDH, emrakul is banned there, won't happen.

You have no excuse to not run Glacial FortressMTG Card: Glacial Fortress. Trust me. It only helps. If you used it, you'd still have 11 Basic lands. All you need is one. You have better odds to draw two in your opening hand.

This is why every Tier 1 deck runs playsets of the Scars-duals and playsets of the Core-duals.

to the elf lord, about that You thought you could win with a memnite.

Angelic DestinyMTG Card: Angelic Destiny might be fun sideboard. Just imagine a 15/15, first, strike, flying, trample, infect, indestructible, Angel Golem Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus. I would probably cry if that happened to me 0.O. But yeah, other than maybe a one of Angelic I don't really see anything to improve this deck. +1 :D

Rooah711 Besides it being a 15/15, I can usually just have Wing SplicerMTG Card: Wing Splicer and Blade SplicerMTG Card: Blade Splicer out and be ok.

March 31, 2012 4:27 p.m.

Rooah711 says... #19

lol, yeah. didn't see much that could be added, so I thought I'd throw that out there :p

I couldn't agree more with Venser, the Sojourner. He's absolutely perfect for this.

March 31, 2012 7:52 p.m.

Butter. Smooth like. Nice build.

To all those who think I should put in Venser, the SojournerMTG Card: Venser, the Sojourner, how many and what to replace?

April 1, 2012 8:04 p.m.

Sideboard Timely ReinforcementsMTG Card: Timely Reinforcements for 2x Venser.

I like Grand ArchitectMTG Card: Grand Architect as a blue Lord and for helping to get Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus out if you draw him.

Revoke ExistenceMTG Card: Revoke Existence might help you deal with Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Ring if it lands on your Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus.

CloudshiftMTG Card: Cloudshift can help you effectively counter any spell which targets the Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus, such as Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Ring or Beast WithinMTG Card: Beast Within. It can also make a new golem token for you, while untapping a splicer, and countering a spell which targets that splicer. Not bad for one mana.

I'm not feeling the 4x Wing SplicerMTG Card: Wing Splicer and 4x Blade SplicerMTG Card: Blade Splicer. Maybe drop down to only 6x between these and add that other stuff in.

Do you find that people are able to exile the Blightsteel? I have a similar deck and did find that to be the case, hence my suggestions above.

Tempered SteelMTG Card: Tempered Steel is another direction you could take the deck. Check out Splicing Insanity if you haven't already; that deck has two ways to wins (golems + blightsteel) but essentially no counterspells, card draws, etc. (I'm not saying that other deck is better, just full of ideas - its a long thread too).
