This will be my first time running this deck at a FNM but from they testing I've done online it seems to have good consistent matchups especially against valakut. ( haven't lost to it yet) but I was wondering what others thought on the deck. I believe it is what MBC is supposed to look like.
It has the tools to deal with pretty much any card, only problem is drawing it at the right time. Hopefully the Tutors will help with that. Anyway any feed back is appreciated.
Hi, here's the list I'm working on, help me out and let me know if I'm overdoing any one of the things the deck needs to do (removal, discard, creatures, wincons)
Basically the deck is raw beatdown with Sword abuse - Ezuri's Brigade is an 8/8 Trampler turn 4-5 which also has shroud due to Indomitable Archangel and Liquimetal Coating giving Shroud to anything they want. Etched Champion has prot from all 5 colours with Metalcraft. Therefore, either equipped with Sword is too big or too evasive for me to even block or try blocking with my creatures. They can win through picking away with Champions, trampling with Ezuri's or milling/discarding using Swords equipped to either, or even to their Archangel.
Well to the best of my knowledge protection from black would stop them getting destroyed by Consume, targetted by Black Sun's zenith etc?
Same as above, can you help me understand protection/Shroud in relation to my removal? I don't quite get what will get past shroud and what won't
Also in relation to DOJ, protection from white stops it getting destroyed right?
This should be an easy match for you. Use Gatekeepers, The zenith and if you need to consume the meek. Ratchet Bomb is something that can kill their artifacts too.
I think Liliana's Specter is better then either of those two. It evades, has two power and helps against control, which I think is our worst matchup. Plus it's great on a vat.
I don't know why anyone would not want to run black sun's zenith. It makes aggro basically a bye and helps with many other matchups. Plus it can be used over and over and late in the late game it can kill any creature in standard. Should be at least a 2 of somewhere in the 75.
@Ultralisk! Hexmage is mostly used for killing Planeswalkers and stalling aggro.
hey all, this is a decdklist that i pulled off the threads here from ctaylor, i want to run it this friday at my fnm. So i have a few questions, i'm seeing more and more aggro, a few control deck, but at this point it's safe to say aggro is half the meta where i go, so is this list set for that? Also would another MD mimic vat be better the the single mire toll?
For an aggro meta Skinrender is pretty good. I would cut the 2 MB Duress and the one mire's toll.
ok so if u cut tec edge, do i just add more swamp? also with my remaining 4 slots what should go in, more creature, more spells? what do you think of consuming vapors or maybe another titan?
Just add more swamps to replace the Tec Edges. Since you're using Persecutor Consuming Vapours is a good idea.
Okay guys, kinda whipped up what i believe is a basic outline for a MBC deck. I missing 10 cards from the MD, and have yet to figure out a SB. Any suggestions for MD and SB?
Hexmage and black Sun's zenith should be MD. Usually 4 Hexmage and 2 Zeniths. For the Sideboard Ratchet Bomb, more Duress, Memoricide and other cards that shore up bad matchups. Also I think 4 Tec Edge is too much. I would cut 2 of them.
The most obvious thing I can see is to cut contaminated ground. It's card disadvantage, you're losing one card for almost nothing.
3 Marsh Flats
2 Tectonic Edge
2 Duress
4 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Sign in Blood
2 Grim Discovery
4 Go for the Throat
3 Black Sun's Zenith
2 Diabolic Tutor
3 Corrupt
4 Gatekeeper of Malakir
2 Liliana's Specter
2 Grave Titan
1 Massacre Wurm
2 Duress
2 Grim Discovery
3 Memoricide
4 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Ratchet Bomb
1 Vampire Hexmage

I think 4 Sign in bloods in MBC is a must. You could cut a swamp and maybe a doomblade.
