    I run Nath and I love him.

    Make them discard their hand, revive their creatures and beat their face with them

    How does your deck do VS U/B control and U/B infect I'm playing a list that is close to yours and Control and Infect always seem to beat my deck. infect is always close seems like i can never pull removal for inkmoth when i really need it I always get them down to 2 or 3 and they have enough to kill me with an inkmoth. got 6th at this weeks FNM but just need to learn how to handle those to decks. thanks for any help u can give.


    U/B Control is my hardest matchup. They can just counter and spot removal your stuff for days. The only thing I can suggest is you MUST get a turn 2 Heartless and a Turn 4 Frost Titan to keep his land tapped. You need speed and this deck can provide it

    for U/B Infect, it is a similar problem with Control. They have a lot of counters and spot removal. The only plus is that they don't run Snapcaster Mage which gives you a little less of a headache. You have to power through

    ran U/B Heartless, went 4-0 and got first

    Round 1: G/W Gavony Tokens 2-0
    Game 1: Play Heartless turn 3, see no bombs for a while while I stare at 4-6 tokens pumped by 3 Anthem effects, start landing Rune-Scarred Demon, Havengul and Massacre Wurm, then copy it to wipe and win with swinging.
    Game 2: Mull to 6, keep it because it had Black Sun's Zenith, manage to land Heartless and drop Massacre's and Demons to wipe and overwhelm.

    Round 2: G/R Wolf Run 2-0
    Game 1: Land Heartless Early, but no bombs and only Metamorphs and Solemns. Manage to draw 2 Tragic Slips and slip his Inkmoths, finally manage to get some position with Rune-Scarred and metamorphs to grab utility. Drew 4 Slips that game.
    Game 2: Didn't see heartless early on, manage to get to 7 land, play Rune-Scarred and tutor for Heartless, use it next turn to start dropping fast bombs and overwhelm.

    Round 3: U/W Mageblade 2-0
    Game 1: Drop early Heartless, establish board position with Massacre Wurm wiping him and ripping out a huge chunk of life, win with beats.
    Game 2: Drop turn 2 heartless, he purges it. I topdeck a second Heartless and play it. Similar game as first one, but he counters a lot more. Havengul manages to sneak through and he has a harder time because even if he countersa bomb, I can cast again from graveyard. I copy his Sword of Feast and Famine and throw it on demon. Next turn I have 2 win cons. I can play metamorph to copy another sword, then equip and swing for game or drop Massacre Wurm and wipe his board and drain his life. He counters the metamorph and I don't pay the 3, I play the Massacre Wurm and he is drained.

    Round 4: U/W Haunted Humans 2-0
    Game 1: He manages to O-Ring my Heartless, so I am running slowly. He doesn't manage to get much out until a Mirran Crusader with Angelic Destiny hitting me for 12. I find my 6th land and drop it to tap down his Mirran Crusader and wipe him with Massacre Wurm/Metamorph
    Game 2: He keeps trying to apply pressure, but I keep drawing answers and overwhelm him quickly. He uses his land to pump out 1/1 spirits and chump block. I think I'm out when he throws Feast and Famine onto the field, but I manage to stall long enough to establish a really good board position of 2 Rune-Scarred Demons, 1 Massacre Wurms and 2 Frost Titans


    MVPs: Massacre Wurm, Frost Titan and Tragic Slip
    Massacre Wurm: I love dropping it and then copying it to wipe out their board and take out a huge chunk of life.
    Frost Titan: Keeps those Sword carrying creatures away
    Tragic Slip: Love slipping a big creature with only 1 black

    Went 4-0 tonight at FNM with my U/B Heartless

    Round 1: Against U/B Control 2-0
    Game 1: Had Turn 2 Heartless, started dropping 2 Frost Titan back to back after digging with Ponder to keep him from his land
    Game 2: He got mana screwed and couldn't stop my bombs.

    Round 2: RG Wolf Run 2-0
    Game 1: Drop Turn 2 Heartless and start dropping bombs such as Frost Titan, Wurmcoil, etc. Can't stop it fast enough.
    Game 2: Drop Turn 2 Heartless again, but he Beasts Within it after. No problem though, since I topdeck a Heartless after and stick it, but no bombs in hand. After he drops his Primeval Titan, I Metamorph it twice, then Doom Blade it putting myself in a very favorable position. He manages to get rid of them through my blocking and a dismember. Casts Inferno Titan to get rid of a beast Token, then I Doom it. I keep 2 Ghost Quarters back just in case for his inkmoth. He can't make anything stick long enough and is drawing badly.

    Round 3: B/W Tokens 2-1
    Game 1: He drops 2 intangible virtues and plays/flashback Lingering Souls. I can't deal with it fast enough.
    Game 2: Threw down Turn 2 Heartless, started dropping my Massacre Wurms and wiping his board constantly
    Game 3: Turn 2 Heartless, he played Lingering Souls waiting for me to drop my Massacre Wurm so he could Go for the Throat it and Surgical Extraction the other 3 from my deck. I drop Rune-Scarred Demon and tutor for a Black Sun Zenith as a backup. Top Deck a Black Sun Zenith anyway, play Phyrexian Metamorph to copy and grab more backup plans. Play Ponder and see 2 Frost Titans in the 3 cards, move them to the top and play a Frost to keep him off his black source. Do it again next turn to keep him from both Black Sources and his 3rd/4th land. He can't cast Day of Judgement and scoops.

    Round 4: U/W Delver 2-0
    Game 1: Turn 2 Heartless, into Turn 4 Massacre making him lose a lot of life. Scoops after I cast Metamorph to copy the Massacre and wipe his board again.
    Game 2: Turn 2 Heartless, Massacre in hand, but not able to draw the third black source for a while, while he hits me with Invisible Stalker. Try to cast Consecrated Sphinx from opening hand, but it's leaked. Try to cast first Massacre Wurm and he leaks it. Next turn, try another Massacre Wurm, he tries to leak it, but I pay for the 3 and he doesn't realize I had 7 mana. Wipes his board. Metamorph the Massacre the turn after and deal more damage while wiping his board. He casts Geist of Saint Traft and has a 1/1 Spirit on the board. I top deck a Tragic Slip, but I don't need it since I have a Black Sun Zenith and a 3rd Massacre Wurm in hand in case if he counters it.




    Did much better than I expected. I usually have bad opening hands, but this FNM, I saw an opening Heartless 90% of the time

    MVPs: Massacre Wurm and Metamorph
    I decided to run 3 Massacre Wurms in the main and 1 in the side this week. It went very well obviously. Was great being able to drop a threat, wipe their board and make them lose 6-8 life in one cast. Being able to copy it the turn after was even better.

    Went 3-0-1 with UB

    Game 1: Kessig Wolf Run
    Round 1: Put up a fight but I kept drawing lands
    Round 2: Mulled to 5 and mana flooded. I even managed to Sphinx of Uthuun into 5 lands

    Game 2: Bye

    Game 3: Kessig Wolf Run splashing white
    Round 1: Dropped Heartless turn 2 and starting dropping bombs. He managed to Day of Judgement, but I kept dropping them. He scooped.
    Round 2: Opening hand of Darkslick Shores, Swamp, Solemn Simulacrum, Rune-Scarred Demon, Phyrexian Metamorph, Doom Blade and Heartless Summoning. Dropped the Heartless, then solemned after, trying to get more lands. He Played Primeval Titan as soon as he could and I let it resolve. Turn after I double metamorphed on the Primeval Titan and then Doom Bladed it. With all the lands dropping, I Rune-Scarred into more metamorphs.

    Game 4: Red Deck Wins splashing black
    This destroyed me the previous week
    Round 1: He kept beating me down with Stromkirk Noble and a Chandras Phoenix. Managed to survive until I dropped a Rune-Scarred Demon, into a Massacre Wurm with Metamorphs in hand to copy it for any new creatures. Scooped when I dropped a Wurmcoil Engine
    Round 2: He had a strong start, but he never managed to draw the Shrine of Rage or Stormblood Berserker. Had Heartless out then Rune-Scarred into Metamorphs with 2 still in hand. he scooped from the bombs I was dropping

    Could you post the list you used? It seems interesting.
    I ran a BR build today at game day and went 4-1, so not too bad. Ended up losing the first match because I got flooded, the guy ended up losing every match after, heh. I'll post my build tomorrow.

    Heartless WUB. My friend said it was Heartless Solar Flare


    I've tweaked the deck since though

    Round 3: U/W Blade 1 - 0

    Round 4: Elf Run - 2 - 1

    Played my Heartless WUB Control build this FNM and did pretty well. Can't remember that much so I'll try my best.

    Round 1: against Mono-Blue Illusions. 2-1
    Game 1: Got hit a couple times from the cheap illusions, threw down heartless and started beating face with Frost Titan.
    Game 2: Countered everything I had and beat face with 2 Phantasmal Dragons.
    Game 3: Got out Heartless, threw down Wurmcoil turn 4, Rune-Scarred turn 5 and tutored for Frost Titan, Frost Titan turn 5. Won

    Round 2: GW Gavony Tokens 1-1
    Game 1: Never saw a Day of Judgement. Kept pumping out tokens and gaining life from his Elspeth and Garruk Relentless. Game keeps going back and forth. Swarmed me easily after popping his Shrine of Loyal Legions for 12 tokens.
    Game 2: Play Heartless, play Consecrated Sphinx which dies to a Beast Within, then deal with death touch chump blockers coming from his Garruk, The Veil Cursed. He Surgical Extractions my Sphinx so I can't unburial rites it thinking I had multiples, only run 1. Had Frost Titan in hand so I played that to tap down a wolf. Next turn, draw another Frost Titan, tap down another wolf. Next turn, draw ANOTHER Frost Titan and tap down another wolf. He scoops.

    Round 3: U/W Blade 1-0
    Game 1: Game went super long. He drops Invisible Stalker, I drop down a Heartless, then play Consecrated soon after. He Oblivioned Ring my Consecrated Sphinx after copying it with Phantasmal Image, I doom blade the phantasmal on my upkeep. I play Wurmcoil Engine, he oblivion rings that. Plays Mirran Crusader, Draw Frost Titan to tap down his Moorland Haunt. Drops a Gideon to fog me. Play Rune-Scarred Demon to tutor for another Frost Titan. He uses Gideon to kill Frost, I drop my other Frost. He chumps with Crusader . He kills Rune-Scarred with Gideon, I recur it back with Unburial Rites, tutor for another Unburial Rites. I kill his Gideon and keep applying pressure with Frost Titan and Rune-Scarred Demon. He gets frustrated because the same Rune-Scarred Demon getting recurred 3 times and lets me toolbox so he Oblivion Rings. I am down to 5 life since he kept using Invisible Stalker to hit me for 1, then using his Moorland Haunt to get a 1/1 attacker and chump blocker for my Demon. I start digging like crazy with my Ponders and flashing back my Forbidden Alchemy and get desperate enough to use 2 Phyrexian Ragers and bring me down to 3. Finally find my final Frost Titan to tap down his Moorland Haunt so he can't make any more tokens, puts down an Invisible Stalker and realizes he can't do anything else against my Frost Titans and scoops. Game took 43 minutes.

    Round 4: Elf Run 2-1
    Game 1: Drop Heartless turn 2, Wurmcoil turn 4, he Viridian Corruptors it. I recur it with Unburial Rites on turn 5. Drop down Consecrated Sphinx, draw a Frost Titan and Doom Blade on his turn. he Beasts Within the Sphinx. I Rune-Scarred Demon to find a 2nd Frost Titan. He plays a Garruk and keeps alternating between a 3/3 beast and drawing 3 cards off him. Kill the Garruk and he plays another after. Finally succumbs and scoops since he can't deal with a Rune-Scarred Demon, 2 Frost Titans, a Death Touch Wurm and a Wurmcoil Engine
    Game 2: Quick game for him. Beasts Within my early Heartless then beats face with his Elves.
    Game 3:
    Turn 1 Me: Isolated Chapel
    Turn 1 Him: Forest, Llanowar Elf
    Turn 2 Me: Island, Heartless Summoning
    Turn 2 Him: Forst, 2 Llanowar Elves
    Turn 3 Me: Ponder, Isolated Chapel
    Turn 3 Him: Rootbound Crag, Elvish Archdruid
    Turn 4 Me: Island, Day of Judgment
    Turn 4 Him: Forest, Viridian Emissary
    Turn 5 Me: Drowned Catacomb, Massacre Wurm
    Turn 5 Him: Land
    Turn 6 Me: Swamp, Rune-Scarred Demon and tutor for Elesh Norn
    Turn 6 Him: Land
    Turn 7 Me: Play Elesh Norn and he scoops



    Deck did better than I expected, especially after adding 4 Ponders from the FNM before. But I must say the game winners besides the obvious Wurmcoil Engine, Frost Titan and Consecrated Sphinx were the Rune-Scarred Demon and Unburial Rites.

    Rune-Scarred Demon kept tutoring for what I needed and Unburial Rites kept bringing him back to find more answers.
    and I loved someone wiping the board just to see me play Unburial Rites to bring back the Frost Titan and flashback it to get Wurmcoil Engine he just tried to get rid of.

    Some of my generals have the same color sleeve as my library and I just throw a penny sleeve on it and take if off when my general gets tucked.

    I also have proxy versions of some generals and am currently working on oversized versions of my generals

    I have a top and don't see why it's so good, please explain. I'm fairly new to EDH so excuse my lack of vision to the format.


    It allows a cheap, reusable and colorless option to rearrange the top 3 cards of your library and to draw a card
