I just played some games with this and want some advice vs weenies its kind of tricky. Espaccally vs WR weenie they have so strong cards now. Browbeat, nimbus, The new lighnting bolt.....
Makes it hard. I lost 2/1 vs WR weenie. I also lost vs monoblack 1/0
Cause of Neither Traiter thats why i put Tormods crypt in sideboard after wards(he got disconected after the first). Vs some thalid deck i won 1/0. Vs some RB aggro control i won 2/0. And vs some U/R counterburn i also won 2/0. Any suggestions? All only weenies will be hard i think but i cant just find a real asskicking card vs them (no hideous and laughter anymore Sad

Do not play Gemstove Caverns. It is a terrible terrible card. Even when it works, you end up with a big card disadvantage, so it just hurts you in the end. I personally don't think it's worth the chance tha t you get it.

Are you trying to win with The Rack+Paradox Haze+Discard? Seems more combo to me. Psionic Blast and Shadowmage Infiltrator should be good purplies for you.

i like gemstone cavern its just like a first round chrome mox !or! mox diamondey and noone sayd they are bad cards.

Ok i play small pox cause its both discard and creature destroyer, the land destroying thing is just fine with me.

I have some problem playing a creature cause even if the enemy cant kill it. I may kill it with small pox.

Psyonic blast is a great idea.

I am not sure about ribbons of Night its expensive for 4 damage. And i need my two sacrificers (Small pox + Cruel edict) cause white has now so many hard to kill creatures espaccally when you have an black source of damage. I will try both psyblast and Ribbons but i think psyblast will be the winner.

I win with the rack yea. But Paradox haze depens on what i got on hand. When i have no rack on hand i normally play Haze for my ANcestral Visions and Curse of the Cabal(very nice card with Paradox haste you can sac a permanent each round or sac the half of your permanents for 4 mana).

Thx for all posts.
