Feb 4, 2014wingkon posted a message on Launch Giveaway!Oblivion Ring. It's the perfect card. It answers basically everything, fits into almost every white deck and even kills planeswalkers. Totally fair and balanced. Wish there were more cards like it. I had a hard time not putting 4 of them in every white deck I make.Posted in: Announcements

I don't think 1-for-1 is necessarily that bad. I once played against a Kaalia deck who used Thoughtseize, Duress, and the like to protect his general. I use some single discard effects because mono-black has no way of dealing with artifacts and enchantments.
Last night, I wargated into Reclamation Sage before my opponent could do Sterling Grove + Privileged Position. I like getting Venser, the Sojourner, Eternal Witness, Prophet of Kruphix (but she is really degenerate), Karmic Guide and Phyrexian Metamorph. I've got a lot of search effects in Roon which makes the deck super fun to play.
Mind Slash - Works well with discard
Sheoldred, Whispering One - I hate playing against this card, but it's really damn good. The promo could probably be acquired for about $4, though the original has better artwork.
Grave Pact/Buther of Malakir - Grave Pact is like $8, but the Butcher can be acquired for $1
Strata Scythe - $0.30 rare that has allowed me to one-shot opponents
Desecration Demon - Honestly, one of the most broken demons out there
Ghost Quarter - Make the most of your general's anti-search ability
Maralen of the Mornsong - If you want to be REALLY MEAN with your general, she is great. But you should get some boots for your general in case they search for removal.
Rise of the Dark Realms - This one always seems to close games.
Dawn of the Dead - I've never tried this card before, but it does look fun if you don't mind losing your creatures.
Other than that, I'd probably recommend putting in a few more mana rocks. Worn Powerstone is a great budget option. It seems like your deck has a pretty high curve, but it looks fun to play.
That's basically the same strategy Jhoria of the Ghitu decks use. Destroy everything and play an unstoppable creature. It's especially deadly because Eldrazi can eat up any post-wrath lands. Some possible additions:
Braids, Conjurer Adept - Cheats in fatties, but works for all players.
Springjack Pasture - Colorless mana won't really hurt your deck
Whelming Wave - If you want to go with a theme
Thassa, God of the Sea - She won't disrupt your Polymorph because she's legendary, but you seem to have a lot of scry creatures and she scrys every turn. Plus, unblockable dudes is a plus.
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur - If you want to be really, really mean
Halimar Depths - Free psuedo-scry
Thropter Assembly - A decent polymorph target that makes tokens
Wash Out - Can work like Cyclonic Rift
Or Proteus Staff for a re-usable Polymorph. Genesis Chamber and Faerie Conclave could help with additional targets.

I'm wondering if Warstorm Surge is worth putting in. Also, I wonder if I ought to run more Mayael targets. I currently have 25, I think. Somehow, Mayael still misses more than I'd like.
