Ecophagy posted a message on Need help building deckI don't know if you're still interested in comments, but I thought I'd chip something in:i n short, the deck is very slow and vulnerable. It's a 3 card como that is vulnerable to artifact and creature hate. Looking at your "ideal sequence of plays" I notice that it is at best a turn 5 goldfish, with basically no interaction with opponents except for 3 remand and 2 path. Almost every deck can race you if your best start is a T5 goldfish. You also need +1 card to kill with, which is a gifts or one of your 4 X spells.Posted in: Void Blog
Compare it to other similar decks, namely control/combo decks: Splinter Twin and Scapeshift. The former races you with a 2 card combo, which they have 8 pieces of each, and the latter goldfishes T5 while playing disruption and cryptic command into a protected Scapeshift. Another similar deck is the Ritual Gifts deck, which is similar in that it wants to play gifts->win. The problem is that it's easier for that deck to win off gifts (Past in Flames is awesome), and again it runs more disruption and Merchant scroll for tutoring Gifts/silver bullets.
On top of that, Deathrite Shaman has made Gifts Ungiven strategies very vulnerable of late.
In terms of improving the deck itself, cut the Borderpost+Wayfarer. They don't do anything exciting at all. Secondly, you don't need so many big X spells. You're not running enough ramp for them to be playable outside of the combo, so they're dead draws (especially Diabolic Revelation). Devil's Play is probably good enough since it has flashback, or just use BSZ sunce Drift of Phantasms can find it. I'd consider cutting Gifts, since relying on it makes your already slow combo even slower.
Sorry to be such a downer, but the deck just doesn't look like it does anything as well as other similar decks

Hey man, we are in the process of moving to MU but our contact there is very busy so it's taking a while (but hopefully not much longer). We are still active on discord as our community coordination hub: https://discord.gg/F7eVGkwF
I hope Grapefruit is OK, he was absolutely up for the F3 fight so there's no way he just bailed on the game because he didn't want to give it a go. Something really important must have come up. It's a shame that definitely cost us the game, but we were always up against it in the F3 anyway and I think we gave it a good go from a very rocky D1 lurk-out.
He's been doing a pretty bloody good job of the latter in case you hadn't noticed. Like have you not noticed that he's only picked up posting while Grape has disappeared and ambient thread pressure says he might just be able to wriggle out of being voted off?
I don't want a postgame apology, I want to win. Literally the only reason I "fit" the worlds is because Cantrip lurked D1 and because because KJ and GF didn't post enough to interact with. It's bollocks.
I can't believe you'd drop this on me just before I have to go to bed. Stupid 3am deadline.
Your whole Grape read was based on him having a bad scum game, but now you're calling him mafia and assuming his scum game is still too bad to recognise a buddy going down.
Come on!
Exactly. If KJ isn't wolf then town has already lost because neither he nor I will be unvoting, it would just be a matter of time.
Tthe fact that LW and Grape haven't voted you for the win is probably a better indication.
But don't you think Wisp is scum??

Are you really expecting me to be an emotional player here? KJ just is boxed out scum. Maybe I'd be more excited if I wasn't inexplicably being listed as his buddy and having to gear up for a big F3 fight.
I will be voting in about 6 hours.
