Mind Rot or Inquisition of Kozilek yourself
General forum

Im playing around with the idea of Inquisition of Kozilek on yourself of Mind Rot on yourself to discard Bloodghast or Vengevine so they are in your graveyard to pull out. with inquisition you can have two bloodghasts on turn two. and with mind rot you can have two vengvines turn 3.

Turn 1: forest Birds of Paradise
Turn 2: plains Mind Rot yourself, discard two vengevine
Turn 3: any land Kor Skyfisher bounce and play him again to pull out the discarded vengevines

It would be better if you used Bloodthrone Vampire and Mortician Beetle instead of losing cards. You can sack the creatures and get pump ups at the same time. After attack phase play your land & get back Bloodghast s. I'm not sure if you can use the ghast's ability to bring back vengevine because you have to cast creatures as his condition.

the whole point is to get the vengevines in the graveyard before you can cast them

ohhh I love this as a concept. milling yourself and making yourself discard are so much fun.

I much more like the idea of milling yourself than of making yourself discard. Think of it this way -- your Inquisition of Kozilek could instead be an Entomb , and you get to keep a card in your hand. Your Mind Rot could be a Glimpse the Unthinkable , giving you an extra mana to play a Tome Scour .
I know it's not exactly the same thing, and it wouldn't be Standard-legal, but it avoids the massive card disadvantage that discard creates.

How viable is a Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas control deck in modern? I made a deck with Trading Post as an engine and wanted to hear your thoughts and opinions on the archetype and the deck i made. Thanks for all your help.

Also of someone could help me make the deck list a link it would be greatly appreciated.

use double brackets around just the deck name like this:
[ [modern-ub-tezzpost] ]
but if you don't put the spaces it'll look like this

wish i could help with the important part (your deck) but i'm... not much for modern. getting there, slowly.

Its ok. Personally I think Modern is a really cool format (when you can play any deck). Try and get into it, its really cool with all of the cards and strategies available.

it's just about breaking in and learning what those strategies are. what the archetypes are supposed to do, and what the "good cards" are. there's just more... stuff in modern.

Yeah I agree. I recommend you watch the Modern GPs and look at the MTGO Daily Event results (when they resume). If you do this by the time PT Born of the Gods roles around it can be your finishing touch on understanding the format. What really helped me learn about it was PT RTR, so maybe a PT will help you.
