I have been slowly building this deck and testing it for a while and am loving every minute of it. One thing I love is that the wins are so fufilling and no one gets mad because the set up is pretty cool.
I have been looking into Theros for any possible additions and I think there may be a few possibilities.
Commune with the Gods- 1G dumps cards into grave, snags a dude or any of the nice enchantments. Pretty nice.
Bow of Nylea- 1GG makes your army a bit more threatening as well as a multitude of other things. pings x/2 fliers, gains a little life, counters up a dude, and recurrs 4 in any order to the bottom of the deck
Voyaging Satyr- 1G untaps Bazaar and Cradle nicely
Prophet of Kruphix- 3UG untaps dudes and lands or more activations etc and gives your dorks flash...seems pretty good though it is a little high cost wise maybe.
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx- a little worse cradle but still another cradle in this deck with its mana dorks etc.
Swan Song- U stops wraths for one mana..pretty neat.
Every single peraon whining about how wizards screws blue players out of everything can go die. You had the most broken card in standard for a year or more...if any one has the right to complain it would not be blue. Please shut your damn cry bsby mouths and realize blue will always be the best color based soley on card advantage.
I judge people exclusively by the little flag under the avatar. The criteria is this:
USA - WOOOOOOOOO!
Canada - The friendly caretaker of winter wonderland
Other - possible (probable?) terrorist
so much win!
I do wonder, however, what Galspanic will do if/when Bette White dies! I am assuming something along the line of "It is finished!" and the last black smudge A bittersweet day for you perhaps?

Is the mana produced by the tokens ability considered to be mana produced by a creature? I am referring to the clause on Myr Superion that states it may only be cast using mana produced by creatures.
Thanks

id rather them have a 1/2 on the board and a sword in their graveyard than just wait for them to run into another. They have 4 mystics and multiple draw effects, only a matter of time before they hit a sword or tutor. ive never seen a caw blade list that runs more than 2 swords, most run 2 MB and some run 1(i dont play caw blade so correct me if im wrong on the numbers). Ive never run into another sword after Iok'ing away the first one. At that point you only have to worry about walkers and collonades (maybe the occasional sun titan). its good to eliminate the threat rather than just hope they dont draw another mystic
Very true! I was just wondering what your experience with this is. I know the two really good caw-blade decks in my meta use 2 FaF and 1 Mortapod main...The mortapod doesn't bother me at all but FaF does. I can honestly destroy cawblade with my maindeck the way it is currently but I just want to make sure my play mistakes are kept to a minimum. I have no clue on numbers without checking out the forums to see but specific to me that is what I have to deal with.
I almost want to play Memorcide over something else mainboard just to go there...most decks I'm playing against I know what to name its just in testing I never draw it to try it out
hammer of ruin is a def no-go. yeah it kills swords. only when it hits. thats it. outside of that its kinda useless. i feel like if it did more beyond that one hit itd be on par with the rest of the deck. we dont have tramplers and our evasion isnt usually common in most builds (inkmoth aside) so unless we wipe and hit with something that didnt die we usually wont be able to get that hit in. unless im missing something completely; if i am please explain it.
yaliu is right magnets are great for stopping swords that are already on the board and just wait for the tutor and IoK it away.
I am going to pull the hammer out more than likely but I am wondering the reasoning behind waiting for them to tutor the sword then IoK it away.
I assume it is because u just got rid of the assumed 1 of sword in the deck and a 1/2 is not threatening...I agree. But on the other hand I think it could be advantageous to pull the mystic as they won't tutor the sword and won't (considering a hawk-less hand) have a threat to use it on if they draw it or another Mystic until turn 7 or so with Gideon or Connolade? What has been your experiences?
Hammer of Ruin is useless. If you're going to connect, you might as well be getting your own Sword triggers instead. Plus, destroying at Sorcery speed gives them at least a chance to connect once first and, with 3-4 MD Tumble Magnet and colorless blockers, Swords are relatively weak against us anyway.
Usually we're allowed to talk about the new set once the complete set is spoiled, which just so happened to come early this time... But it's still a month until official release, so it's not really time to start a-brewin' quite yet. That said, I'm eager to try the new Clone. Being cheaper and doubling as a Sculpting Steel might actually make this Constructed-worthy, and even better for Tezz it's an Artifact.
Maybe. Engine is a cool late-game card and miser's board sweep if you don't wanna run BSZ or Red sweepers main but you can't just roll over to T2 Cobra in the current environment (local meta notwithstanding). In that sense, I'd say "absolutely" in UB but UBR can just burn it. Of course, Clasp is also a cheap Artifact you can animate early and can Proliferate a Chalice if you get stuck at 4-5 mana with one on the board.
My meta specifically is very caw-blade heavy with some random jank occurring on the fringes and a few valakut.
I don't really like the hammer all that much but I just want something silly that would really just put caw-blade ( or any deck) in its place. I was thinking of a single Argentum Armor or something random like that. Or SoBaM or just a 2nd FaF
can you just do
a card that starts with "H" that cost 1 colorless mana and it is 1/1 artifact creature
a card that starts with "S" that 2 colorless mana and it is 0/4 artifact creature.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. NO NPH DISCUSSION. THAT MEANS NO MENTIONING OF NPH CARDS. THAT MEANS NO IMPLYING OF NPH CARDS. THAT MEANS NO RHYMING WITH NPH CARDS TO AVOID SAYING AN NPH CARD. THAT MEANS NO DISCUSSION OF THE META WHEN NPH IS LEGAL. NO NPH DISCUSSION MEANS NO NPH DISCUSSION. GOT IT?

LOL that is hilarious!! I may sig this if you don't mind! Also what would his general be?!
Either that or those two cards were the only German copies ever made and had been blessed by an actual Sensei.
I honestly just scanned down the page and thought that may be the Original Artwork.

Just double checking I wasn't 100% certain and I didn't want to just assume that I was right

I rofl hard
Also: Should I be running Contagion Clasp over Engine? My friend is suggesting this because it can take out a t2 lotus cobra.
