I had this deck built awhile back but never liked it. However, boredom arises and I decided to try to work out the kinks and hopefully make it playable. So far the only good thing about it is its relentless capability of owning Ghost Husk. ._.

Feedback would rock.

looks really solid, 4 NoSB seems overkill (unless you are trying to get it to stick vs KoALa and mortify, which seems the case). 1 jester's cap will improve your match-up vs heartbeat drastically, as well as decks running few kill cards. i think you should have more bullets for your house guard to fetch, nightmare void being totally freaking awesome Very Happy

The 4 NoSB is against Koala and Mortify... they're designed specifically to fix the Ghost Husk problem. I totally forgot about Jester's Cap and I'm definately going to work that in there. It's amazing against Heartbeat and seems to be the only card besides like Needle that I'm going to have against it. The House Guards are mainly for my Grave Pact, though I guess it would be a good idea to stick something else in there to help. But, what to take out?

[EDIT] Got the list edited a bit and I'm going to try this build for awhile before I start messing around with it again.

i think you can free up some valuable sideboard space by dropping 2 jester's cap and 2 NoSB (with 4 tutors you run effectively 5 and 6 copies respectively, and you only need one cap to beat heartbeat) and add 4 needles; ghost council, KoALa, meloku, windreaver, top, innumerable other nasties, they all will cause you problems and are all shut down by a 1 mana card Cool

im not in a position to test the deck as i can't access the chat room at the moment, but the MD looks solid, i'll test it when i get home, keep me posted
