Hey eternechaos, I was the guy at the tournament thanking you for doing well with merfollk and waiting to see your list when you top 8'd. Sorry to hear about that ending in the top 8 but i really like your decklist and goldfishing it has been awesome! Especially against the UR pheonix decks with permanent removal like blast it just hits them outta nowhere. Do you live in the Knoxville area or were you and your teammate down from somewhere?
Oh and one quick question did you ever feel like 4 chalices was too many?
So I just top 8'd at nashville regionals. Going X/1/1 losing only to colorless eldrazi in the regulars, then to Brian Brown Duin in the top 8 playing mono black eldrazi. Will post decklist and experience when I get home tomorrow. But I did beat 3 burn, scapeshift, Abzan agro, abzan coco, and a mardu tokens.
So long time player of merfolk, since Lorwyn block, and I'm headed to the starcitygames open in Charlotte in 2 weeks but I don't know what I need or should have in my side. Here is my list what do you guys think?
I dont really understand, how when all of your mana makes black are you locked out of obliterator? If you play this as more a midrange agro than and full blown agro deck then it works out really well. Personally I think that running less Scars land and more M12 that you can get a more consistant turn 3-5 but if you play smart and dont get greedy than you shouldn't have a problem with a hand that has 2 Scars land and a M12.
But here is my Deck list to toss into the fray and i would appreciate any comments, I'm going into a pretty unknown meta so a general Sb is much needed.
Has anybody tried out Sedraxis Specter, he is easy to cast the unearth can get you in there for that little bit of extra damage and against jund you can chuck him to liliana and attack with it on your turn.
@manchester- so are you no longer running slave of bolas in the SB, I'm going into a pretty unknown meta and i just want a deverse Sb for a good portion of the meta this is what i have now
I dont know idf any one has tried this out and i may just be a little win more but, the new U leyline is the bomb, and grave titan just ends games if he isn't dealt with. AND OMG MANA LEAK is amazing
