If this deck doesn't meet criteria for the proven section, then none of those other decks should be in the proven section.
It has been the number 1 deck longer than all of the other ones. What's pushing it out now? Nothing. 3 top 8s with junk rites with this most recent SCG Open, with a few more in the rest of the top 16.
We are able to run a total of 12 sweepers between verdict terminus and cleansing, sigarda shouldnt be a problem. I run 4 mb 4 sb, and find 8 is plenty with our card draw and snapcasting.
Also worth noting, if reanimator is becoming popular, why not join them if we cant beat them. We do play the colors for rites, and blue sifts arguably as good as green or red. Im moving that direction to see if it is viable, running a reanimation package in place of my old planneswalker package, with the 3 Liliana staying, and 3 Alchemy worked in.
Sounds like that solar flare list that placed in the top 16 at a recent open. It looks really good.
The guy who piloted stated he still hasn't figured out a good way to deal with traditional Esper Control and Junk Rites, though.
In my pre-release pool, I had a nasty Orzhov/Dimir splash pool that featured Alms Beast, Merciless Eviction, Consuming Aberration, 2x Gift of Orzhova. Had some incidental mill cards like Balustrade Spy, that awesome mill removal, and Duskmantle Guildmage in the list, along with the typical extorters.
Turn 4 Alms Beast, turn 5 Griselbrand swinging (Gift. :D). That game was over quickly.
There were other games where I blew my opponent out with Merciless Eviction, won off of Duskmantle Guildmage by milling them out.
Also had the lovely opportunity to swing with a 20/20 Consuming Aberration.
Okay, I'm a little off topic now, but in sum: Alms Beast is a house.
Also, that payout is awesome. If they had phantom queues going for it all the time, you wouldn't need to dump money on a constructed deck.

Tomorrow will look the same.
However, your spell rupture will be a little worse.

If your opponent was smart at all, he would know you're about to sweep the second you declare tusk as an attacker.
I bet it doesn't hit more than 2% of the time.
Opponent tapped out, and sitting on lethal in hand? Infuriating.
Or just play Unexpected Results!
Do you see the amount of removal you have in black and white? I haven't even looked at your entire pool yet, but I would have went BWR.
