Nin was the first EDH deck I ever built myself, and has a rather sentimental value to me. I can vividly remember cracking the seal of the Political Puppets pack, and seeing all these new cards. My eyes were instantly drawn to one specific one, Nin, the Pain Artist. Prior to this, I had only had played an Akroma, Angel of Fury deck my older brother had built for me, as I was just getting back into Magic from a rather long hiatus.
With the announcement of Hour of Devastation and The Locust God, I decided to take a look at a deck that hadn't been played in years, but had never actually left my playbox. This is going to be an extensive rework of an earlier deck, and aims to have fun at mid-tier tables. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Dizzy Spell tutors Training Grounds.
Are you trying to steal more creatures (to snipe)? Sower of Temptation might help. Keiga is a big target...that gets you another target. Reef Worm gives you new targets. Maybe the Theros block gods? When creatures, you can just hit them forever since indestructible.
(I made a list of her, too, that I need to dig out after many years.)
Honestly, I like Stuffy Doll, but often times it can either be too cute, or it singles out a player. I've built the deck to try and mitigate the Aggro coming at my face. That being said I might add it back in as this just my early tests after rebuilding the deck.
