Normally I don't play 1.x, 1.5 but with T2 just flat out boring right now. I took a look at some other formats given i have a few trial wins in this format, figured i must be better here. I'm ok with that, right now I am messing with T&N and Scepter Chant.

not that im good an all and its allready late, but istn kiki+hussar an instant win if it resolves? so why removing it?

You dont need hussar when you have the titan. A hasty 7/10 that kills lands is a way more solid choice to fetch. Witness is also the right way to go. Adds some versitility to the deck and allows for reuse of singelton creatures if they die.

I've been playing Ext. Tooth and Nail for a long time now and one thing I can say with certainty is that I do not like Sky Hussar. The combo is easily disruptible since Kiki-Jiki is susceptible to nearly every form of spot removal there is. Then you're only left with two 4/3 fliers which are most likely not going to win the game for you.

Coupled with the fact that if someone manages to play Cranial Extraction or Meddling Mage naming Tooth and Nail, you're left with three dead cards in your deck or worse your hand (Hussar, Vampire, Kiki) rather than two (Kiki, Vampire). Eventually I ended up putting it on sideboard only to realize I only boarded it in against MBC which is not very common at all in the metagame.

Aye Hussar is too situational. But yea it does win if it resolves and they cant stop infinite token making. *shrugs*

also i had moved those sided lands into the maindeck b/c it frees up room for more useful stuff.

I personnaly tried out Extended T&N, and I didn't like the results. I find it's slow and unreliable. The pieces are easily countered and once they're in play, they're still easy to disrupt. Just my two cents...

This is the newest build that has been rocking some serious matches

// Lands
1 Boseiju, Who Shelters All
4 Urza's Tower
4 Urza's Power Plant
4 Urza's Mine
6 Forest
3 Wooded Foothills
2 Windswept Heath

// Creatures
4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
3 Eternal Witness
1 Sundering Titan
1 Sky Hussar
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
1 Bringer of the White Dawn
1 Triskelion
1 Mephidross Vampire

// Spells
4 Reap and Sow
4 Sylvan Scrying
3 Oblivion Stone
3 Moment's Peace
2 Mindslaver
4 Tooth and Nail
1 Krosan Reclamation
1 Naturalize
1 Pithing Needle

// Sideboard
SB: 1 Boseiju, Who Shelters All
SB: 1 Pithing Needle
SB: 2 Stomping Ground
SB: 2 Breeding Pool
SB: 3 Research/Development (Cranial/Castigante)
SB: 3 Boil (MUC)
SB: 3 Urza's Rage (Meddling Mage/Scepter-Chant)

SB Choices:
Research/Development - Thorw in the Breeding Pools and this card can save me from that random Cranial extraction naming Tooth and Nail. EOT research FTW.

Boil - MUC is a serious problem as they run some removal, while Boseiju helps alot, i still think a EOT Boil can add some power to the deck

Rage - Alternate Win condition against Scepter Chant and a way to get rid of Meddling Mage naming Tooth and Nail.

My friend tested this version with his play group and he says its consistancy is amazingly good and the MD boseiju is tech. Still taking suggestions if you have them
