This is my favorite deck too. I'll give dark petition a go. What I really like about this deck is how it's able to win out of no where. My friends actually enjoy watching me go off as they're wondering how I figure out my lines... even if my turn is 10+ minutes haha. When I get a little closer on pimping the deck, I'll post a picture.
Hey Mox, are you still rocking this deck or are you using prossh more?
I haven't checked out the thread for months, but I'm happy to see you have dack in the deck. I've been heavily considering him as he's one of my favorite cards (own 5 foils ) and he's a beast in my current meta. Let's not get started with him and notion thief...
How are you liking dark petition? I've dabbled with the card in other formats, but don't find it satisfying. Haven't tried it in Jeleva.
Yeah, when you're able to utilize the full 7, it's truly insane. The extra interaction with Sunder and Tomorrow (if you run them) is just icing on the cake.
In what ways does your list differ?
Some cards I took out were clear changes I wanted to make, others I took out because I didn't think they were good enough to justify buying them right now, and a few I would love to run, but I just don't have the money.
I took out because I don't own them:
- Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir Personally, I like giving all my cards instant speed +Leyline of Anticipation
- Force of Will No FOW to my name +Cryptic Command
- Spell Crumple I need one, just havn't gotten around to it +Dissipate
- Desertion Well worth the $10 but don't have one yet +Snapcaster Mage
- Ancient Tomb With a similar card being so much cheaper, the advantages are not big enough to justify it +Temple of the False God
- Omniscience I should probably play it, but I feel dirty enough using Enter the Infinite. Also, I just can't play without a bordwipe +All is Dust
I build the deck today and jammed 6 games and only lost 1. It's a very fun deck with a lot of possibilities. I only play omniscience/enter the infinite if I'm about to lose.
Story time! So, board state is opponent has a stacked board presence, I only have 1 card in hand (omniscience) with nothing relevant on the field. Opponent passes the turn, I know the game is basically over but I never scoop. I top decked, you guessed it, Enter the infinite. I slam Omniscience and cast Enter the Infinite and win on the spot. This happened TWICE out of 6 games.
After playing today, even in situations where I would have won if I had pod out. I'm not going to put it in. Being still semi new to the deck, I was naive to how it could have functioned.
I'm using a list from about 6 months ago; definitely need to be updated.
Plan is to promo foil out the deck as much as possible. Nothing like killing someone on turn 3/4 with an ugly deck
Jester, I understand the concept of looping, went off today with just 2 lands on t4 and vindicated his whole board. But I'm talking about the times where you don't draw what you need. etc.
Also, what's your opinion on the pod version that's been going around lately? Has your view changed from the last time someone asked you?
So, I've been playing this deck without reading the primer * trying to figure out combos on my own* It's a blast. I feel like switching it to run pod would be better, but I'm not the one constantly testing the list.
Jester, how do you feel about edric in the deck? Everyone tells me to put him in, but isn't edric more for a none combo list?
The Space cube is fun, different and should still play great. Updating the cards that are in my current list and making space cards out of them would be a huge and taxing project, but it would be worth it I think (especially if you have 6-8 players, which is what my most current list caters more to).
Glad you like the list, and feel free to chime in with any questions you may have about it. And don't hesitate to cut cards and add in stuff that your playgroup really wants to play with! Making an environment that your group wants to draft is the most important thing.
Cheers, and happy cubing!
My thought is to update it maybe once or twice a year, spend a few weeks and make the new cards, get them printed. etc. Keep it semi up to date and all.
The plus side of having it as a mtg cube is I'm able to pimp it * big thing for me * And of course, I'll chime in when I'm looking at it more closely.
Contemplating on making your cube. Only thing holding me back is I'm ordering my Space cube soon *finally*. Don't know If I want to keep up on updating the space cube or not.
If I don't I'm making yours instead of different one. Love your list BTW, been following for a long time
Been wanting to get into modern. Its between this, aggro loam and scape shift valakut. Probably going with thus deck as I feel itll do better with the upcoming set.
But to be sure, do you think this deck is well positioned against scapeshift? If it runs blue for counters or white for silences and other good white stuff
If you go here you can find Evergreen's current list. It was played by a guy named Ronald Cruz (not Evergreen) in a tournament in Manila not too long ago.

I can agree with majority of your swaps.

Like I say, I'd rather be lucky than skilled
