Feb 22, 2013Ecophagy 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 -

Troll and Toad is excellent, but the overseas shipping is a little much.
Mostly, I use eBay for the rares (at least until the pound becomes so weak that it becomes too expensive >.<)
I'm sure the guy I know who plays affinity will be Thrilled he can beat more people...
it means "the consumption of an ecosystem"
Hello all, having spent a while reading (mostly spoilers >_>) I decided to join.
With any luck, I can get more feedback on here than the MTG forums
Also, how do you do the card & deck tags here?
