Sorry for the double post, but I'm excited for the UR manland. That will make it easier to cast red cards in our deck.

Stomped junk 2-0 with the miracle Devastation Tide surprise! mother****er moment.
Tangolands saved my ass against elves by fetching, getting untapped mana and casting Damnation while at 2 life.
Kommand is a sweet card, better than blightning IMHO.

Don't come here trying to make that comparison.Many before you have said the exact same thing We play Cruel control because we like casting ultimatum; nothing more nothing less.
Whether you play this deck for fun or super competitively, casting Cruel is really fun.
Play UWR or Esper if you want "better".
I kid I kid. Of course a 7 mana sorcery is pretty bad if you don't set it up right. With setup though it works very well.

I was toying around with four slots Squelch, Roast and Cruel Edict. I really like the extra edict effect and I did manage to Squelch an inkmoth nexus Devastation Tide is there to reset the board against non-creature permanent decks. It has worked very well.

Went 3-1 tonight. Beat Merfolk 2-1, UW Control 2-1 and affinity 2-0. Lost against twin due mana problems. Ashiok did tons of work tonight, a spot has been earned. I'll post more details later.

There are just much better cards to play. 4 cantrips is probably a must.

Nice results Ym1r. Maybe add some Rise // Fall and another Lavamancer. Lavamancer is bonkers in the meta right now.

Go ahead and post the list when it is ready. Any data is good to look at.
@amalek0 Getting to work the Multi-Judge events is pretty tough as a level one, but if you frequent a local shop then the owner might be able to help you. One more PPTQ and I'm good to go for Level 2.
