buff up the ink with tezz and put em on a 2 turn clock.
Doesn't the new ability override the old one. Meaning after tezzeret's ability he's a 5/5 with no abilities. if you pay 1, he's a 1/1 infect flying, EOT he goes back to a 5/5 with no abilities. I dont think he becomes a 5/5 infect
After some playtesting I think it really needs the hand disruption, inquizition or duress. I raised to 24 lands, dropped down to 2 corpse cur, 0 black zenith, 0 vector asp. Planning to change to add in the discard tonight.
Inkmoth Nexus is amazing. Any time they tap out, swing over the top.
As for the signal pest, he works really well in all in RDW so I can see him being good here.
I would play another Skittles and Throne before playing the Asps. Otherwise interesting idea.
It was still a little in the construction phase, after talking about a few of the cards here is an updated list. Pretty much equip, sac, proliferate. still need to sleeve it up and test.
The masticore is really worth playing in any heavy creature build. Hes really good. Gives a hard to answed creature and instant speed 4 dmg to give mid/late game reach taking out planeswalkers, creatures or 4 to the face even without swinging. Gets dmg through even around tumble magnet.
Ive been building a version of this through several changes and came up with the following list. I like the colorless control but im with the crowd that uses a few color spells to win. My main concern is pw's and might just use pw's as my win con and also as removal. Theres only one mox in the deck for now its all i have as of today. Please give constructive criticism, price isnt an issue. (have 6 jaces) he just didnt feel right in the deck.
Sorry for any bad decktags or short names. Typing this from my phone on work break.
Time Reversal just dropped $20 on Star City to $14.99...
$12 on magiccards.info. Starcity is historically over-priced.
As for cards to pickup, trade the green and black titans away while at 30+ for staples such as baneslayer, fuana shaman, and some of the good leylines and maybe dark tutelage, serra ascendant, and maybe jinxed idol($.50). I think the two titans will settle at 15-20 and you'll have ended up on the good side of the deal.
I traded the green titan for baneslayer and serra ascendant last night. Baneslayer has proven to be good the titan is still in pre-release hype mode. On that note do people really pre-order singles at $30 each? (time reversal, lotus cobra, abysal persecutor)
A few of us are trying to build a fling deck and so far here is our plan. Constructive criticism would be helpful. The plan is to play a boros aggro type deck and be able to fling the pumped creature post combat or after mana barbs has pumped the spitfire. More use of the white might be helpful. Some other spells we are considering are ranger of eos bushwacker path to exile

Core Prowler works really good in the deck, its pricey for a 4 drop but sacing to the mortarpod or throne of geth gets 2 poison counters.
