The deck is pretty straight forward, you just play more stuff than they have answers for.
Certain threats are better against certain decks so you often need to lead appropriately. Against control I drop Primeval
Adding the 4 Blackcleave Cliffs to the board really changes the way the deck functions vs aggro. They speed up the deck and give my removal and Crusaders more consistency. I pull out 4 Forests which is obviously a problem for the Green focus, fortunately I'm also removing 8 mid-late game Green plays for 4 early game Black and 4 mid-late game Artifact plays. It smooths out the mana in either instance.
The reason I do not have Artifacts MB is because I feel I do really well without them in game one; when game two rolls around and I board them in, they will not have Artifact hate. This way I can keep them boarding every game and not be sure what my angle is.
I don't run Inkmoth Nexus, the deck's mana base cannot handle it. Naya can because they have an extra Dual Land (Razorverge Thicket).
Played a Standard last night with the list, went 6-0 against the 3 control decks I played and 0-2 against the one Elf Ball deck I wasn't prepared for (still a legit loss though).

Posted Feb 13, 2012It's really good against control, but I moved into a heavier aggro meta. Now it is bad bad bad. I'll be putting this away for awhile... maybe forever since I want to off load my Titans.

Posted Jan 5, 2012Reason: Solar Flare has been really fun to play against because the threat to answer count has been so close it's palpable, ha, as much as I love playing those games I'd like to win them. Sever, I feel is more relevant than Surgical Extraction or Nihil Spellbomb because I'll get two shots at the removal and they can table their threat base (look and feel like they are winning). Sever can be forgotten in the yard, hopefully not by me, and be a surprise or even prevent them from being as aggressive as they could be.
In other matchups it's still solid removal if not better. Not a sweeper which makes me a little sad, but as is common in magic "different uses and weaknesses".

Posted Dec 29, 2011To be honest I just threw Titans in until I couldn't cut any more things so their numbers are flexible. I'll try a few with Inferno, he does have the whole "I kill Mirran Crusader" thing going on.
