Door to Nothingness: The Sequel

Deck Help forum

Posted on July 20, 2012, 5:27 a.m. by Cirdan13

I asked for help on my Door to Nothingness deck about 2 days ago and wanted to start a new thread because the direction of my questioning has changed. I have pretty much given up on trying to activate the Door to Nothingness sooner than turn 10 except in rare occasions that the cards come up perfectly for me so what I need now is help with living long enough to use the Door. My most recent thought is to shift the deck more toward black and using Xathrid Gorgon . If I do that, do I still keep the Melira, Sylvok Outcast +Phyrexian Unlife combo? Are there better ideas for staying alive? I thought about a bit of turbo fog but I don't think I could make it work and have the cards for the Door.

I have run this card before in a 5 color sliver deck and used cards like Gemhide Sliver to get the door going. I have been able to activate it on turn 6 using this method. Gemhide Sliver s basicly turn all your slivers into Birds of Paradise . Other things to consider would be to use cards that search for basic lands and use basic lands instead of mostly duel lands. As for getting this deck to live longer? I would lean more towards blue control or some white lifegain. Just some thoughts for you. Good luck.
