Does that even work?

Also, Duress or Inquizition?

Quote from Pinguster

Well although eetu makes a lot of points I've got some things to say...

really

dark confidant has never lost me a game that I would not have had he not been in play, even when flipping shriekmaws and krovikan horrors the card is worth it because of how much extra control power it allows the deck to have. I can't think of a single game when I have flipped shriekmaw and lost. Really, the curve is a bit high I admit but the card is definitely, definitely worth it. Bob basically says "you win the game".

It is not a different deck, the main interaction of the deck has been for a long time that of shriekmaw and krovikan horror as opposed to the godawful 4 card combo that is tortured existence, krovikan horror, sac trigger and mesmeric fiend. Even WITH corpse dance it's not very good because an opponent can just kill the sacrifice creature so that it is the top card of your graveyard as opposed to the mesmeric fiend you want.

As for buried alive, it's cute but god awful without tortured existence. What? you get two 2/2 creatures for 4 and a 1/2 flying deathtoucher for 3. Horrible. Golgari brownscales are VERY VERY VERY good but they are 2 cards in the deck which are dead topdecks if you draw them. And that isn't worth keeping a card in the deck for. When you have tortured existence online, and you can afford to timewalk yourself to get 3 cards you need yeah it's nice but most of the time it isn't necessary if that is the situation that the game is in, that and creating dead topdecks and you just don't want it.

I've been testing, Intuition or Buried Alive kind of suck. It's not the same. 10 more days. Go rock your tournaments boys. Wait until you stumble across a kid who says:

"JUDGE! Survival for banned on the 20th!!!"

Happens every year...
