Deck Help forum

It feels like my deck is really good at stopping people from doing stuff. With all the hand disruption there's not much left for them to do.

Currently I have Creeping Tar Pit , Bloodchief Ascension , Scavenging Ooze and burn as potential finishers. Do I need more or should something be removed (like the ascension) or added (like say...Mindcrank and Volt Charge ) to make the ascension better...

I'm at a loss. Also Bob and Goyf don't fit into my current budget and I own everything else in the list already.

It's a little light, I imagine you could get into some weird game states with both decks top-decking after you've both killed off all the threats and you're pulling awkward amounts of hand disruption.

Maybe consider going up to like 5 man lands and running a singleton decent finisher on the top of the curve. This also insulates you a little from being particularly soft to graveyard disruption like Rest in Peace . Currently all your creatures and Bloodchief Ascension need/want to interact with your yard.

Rest in Peace could definitely neuter my creatures. Turning my ScOoze into a Grizzly Bears doesn't help me.

A couple Treetop Village s could help. I have lots of Lavaclaw Reaches too...hm.

What would you suggest as a finisher?

So I made a few changes. Any thoughts?

Sorry, was out of town for a few days.

Yeah that looks a bit better. Delver of Secrets  Flip sometimes just wins the game all on its own. I would be tempted to just run more Creeping Tar Pit or even something like Faerie Conclave over the Lavaclaw Reaches . It's the weakest in that cycle, and even if you can fetch up the green sources it would be a little to easy to cut you off from Treetop Village and Raging Ravine .

I agree and am on the lookout for more copies of Creeping Tar Pit .

It would also address my color imbalance a bit too. Well time to take it in for testing then.
