What about adding Glaring Spotlight ? The new legends rule make hexproof/shroud dudes more complicated to handle... I was thinking on cuting sol ring to add the spotlight... what do you think on that ?
First of all i want to apologize with cryogen cause i feel that my last comment about the foil necropotence sounded like if i was a true a**hole. That wasn't my intention, i just was excited of the necropotence i bought that very afternoon because "i might include this sooner or later".
And second, i make a few updates to my Dakkon Blackblade list that i want to share with you:
With the new legend rule, Evil Twin seems like the best clone out there, capable of copying and killing his "Holy Twin" (?)
In the 7cmc creature slot im still undecided between Sepulchral Primordial and Drogskol Reaver. By now im playing with the Reaver because is less dependant on the board state than the Primordial.
As usual, i gladly accept suggestions and critiques; and apologize for my bad english.
I love Strionic Resonator, it's a perfect fit in the deck. I must disagree on the Ogre Battledriver because first of all it's not tutorable (not power 2 or less or a goblin) and second because i don't see the deck needing that kind of hability, at least in the way i'm playing it.
Here's my actual decklist (without m14 updates) for references:
GENERAL (1)
Norin the Wary
ARTIFACTS (20)
Caged Sun*
Cloudstone Curio
Codex Shredder*
Conjurer's Closet*
Crucible of Worlds
Gauntlet of Might
Genesis Chamber
Helm of Possession*
Honor-Worn Shaku*
Mana Crypt*
Mind Stone
Mind's Eye*
Memory Jar
Relic of Progenitus
Sculpting Steel*
Sensei's Divining Top
Skullclamp*
Sol Ring*
Teferi's Puzzle Box
Trading Post*
Sry for that .. i uploaded it from a file on my phone and it was kind of a mess. I like Evil Twin a lot, but i think that we need a mana doubler in the deck. Necropotence is huge, i need to find a slot for that ...
After sitting a few hours with my good ol'friend Mr. Microsoft Excel, arranging every card by cmc and utility in the screen, i made a few (quite a few actually) modifications. I give you "Dakkon Blackblade and the transmuter gang" lol
The things that are on the soft spot are: Angel of Serenity (great on paper, but i dunno) and Rout (we need an instant speed sweeper... or the blue leyline, but adding the leyline means changing quite a few things in the deck structure).
The mana curve is a lot better now by the way. Added a few mana rocks and the dude that transmutes cmc3.
Hope you like it! I accept critiques and suggestions (as always ^^)
I preffer using that slot to Increasing Ambition. Why limiting yourself to tutor only instants or sorceries when black let you tutor everything ... I used to have Diabolic Intent in the Increasing Ambition slot, but i found that sometimes i didnd have any creature to sac. If Diabolic Revelations cmc were 4 instead of 5 it would be on my list
Add to this ecuation Dimir house guard and you will find out why i cut mystical.
(sry for my bad english, im from Buenos Aires lol)
What are your thoughts on the primordials Cryogen ? I kinda doubted to add them ...
The list looks pretty mana hungry, and I don't see many mana rocks. Do you have trouble picking up steam early on?
How has Cataclysm been working for you? It seems counterproductive to the rest of the deck, and that you'd have a hard time recovering. Have you thought about Faith's Reward to go with it? (I ran Balancing Act as my catch-up card for a while. I liked it, but it was hit or miss.)
Does Herald of Leshrac draw much hate? I took mine out because it would always get Cloned and used against me.
Early game sometimes can be slow, but mana rocks are not really needed. WE have tutors, and the 007 of the deck: Dimir House Guard to tutor up some mass removal to get things "fair" if we need to.
Cataclysm is another finisher. Just use it in desperate situations when i need to blow someone off the game. I used to run It That Betrays (in Consecrated Sphinx slot), but it seemed winmore every time i played it. Almost everytime is Cataclysm followed by a 1 hit with some infect bomb.
I dont land Leshrac unless i have a way to protect him. He's nuts in the deck, but its not a card that i would throw in the table with no protection.
IN
Snow-Covered Mountain
Diaochan, Artful Beauty
Strionic Resonator
OUT
Wasteland
Crucible of Worlds
Codex Shredder
Also i don't think that the pyromancer is that good in Norin shell ... :/

Personally i don't like Pact of Negation. If i would add a "normal" counterspell my choice would be Forbid.
