Damm its becoming archenemy in LGS XD. Or i win or im the first to go out lol....i love this deck i love the amount of syenrgy it has. My Colossus of Akros hilariouslly became a threat that even forced a player to use a demonic tutor to fetch Bojuka Bog just to get rid of the colossus that was in my graveyard in the 4th turn and i had enough mana to bring him back and make him mounstrous.
I've quickly become the target when I pull out this deck. Eternal Masters was very good to me, and thus Daretti. Daretti was my go to fun deck, but has quickly become my more serious deck, only pulling it out when I need to teach the table a lesson in Mindslaver locks.
I'm definitely playing Winter Orb in my deck, along with Lodestone Myr and Ghirapur Æther Grid to tap it with. It, along with Static Orb and a few other staxish pieces have really helped me stave off the early aggression.

I get a little bit less hate since I don't pull the deck out often and I am in more of an aggro environment than most, but if certain cards start to come out, I also get hated on right away.
i am almost always the archenemy in my play group lol. my friends knows that i am often up to no good. my power level increased a lot after i get my mana crypt. so the way to survive is to conceal my combo and play politic on the table to divert their attention from me. i find that helpful in keeping me alive, though not all my friends are fooled. they will always try to keep daretti off the table. i learned that it is not always necessary to cast him out. just play normal and keep daretti off table, they will attack someone else. furthermore i have earned the nickname of poker face, that also helps lol

My play group got a lot smarter - they learned to keep Daretti at 1 loyalty instead of getting him off the table because I can typically recast and use the -2 right away, which is what they don't like.
Hey Vash! Does having Fire Diamond over another 2 CMC rock that comes into play untapped ever hinder you in any way? I'm considering dropping Thought Vessel for it. Not only to have access to colored mana, but to also have another foil

I have never had an issue with Fire Diamond because there is rarely I time I need to play it and then immediately cast something. If I get it in on T2, then it will get me a T3 Daretti and I am okay with that. Late game, I typically use it as fodder for the -2 ability instead of a valuable mana rock.
And yes, I like that new land. I will probably give it a shot. No other artifacts listed so far have been very impressive to me though.

The decisions! I think they both have their merits, so I just gotta pick one and be happy I suppose.
I do. I always change my mind constantly. It's a never ending cycle. Lol.
I think I do want to try out Fire Diamond tho.
It shouldn't go bad, but I can understand struggling to make cuts - There hasn't really been anything new for me to try and I am happy with my optimizations for now.
Got a Defense Grid , is it worth to give some protection against instants?
Only if you are (or are ok becoming) the #1 threat most of the time.
Remember, this shuts down counterspells on all other players' turns too, not just yours. No real benefit if someone else is just going to Hoofvenger or Deadechron the table after you pass.
