Hi everybody.
This is my first post i am writing to get advice on a deck i may play or what i should play.
The Metagame should be composed of UB Control,UBw Control,RDW,RG Aggro and Mana Ramp.
I've been testing this deck online for a while and i had good result.I had some problem against UB control mainly because of Tendrils of Corruption.If i don't play this deck i may go with RDW but dont know which version to play but i saw a version with main deck G.Gargadon i like.Also, is Boom/Bust any good is this deck??target your land then sac to gargadon.

Here's the deck:

20 Swamp
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

3 Bad Moon
4 Dauthi Slayer
3 Dunerider Outlaw
3 Liege of the Pit
4 Mindlash Slaver
2 Mirri the Cursed
4 Nether Traitor
4 Sangropahge
4 Smallpox
4 Sudden Death
3 Withered Wretch

SB
3 Extirpate
4 Funeral Charm
4 Psychotic Episode
4 Tendrils of Corruption

The only way i found to slow UB control is putting 2 Urborg to destroy theirs.I'm not sure about the Dunerider Outlaws even if the often deal 5+ damage.
I need help for sideboard for replacing extirpate since i dont think ill be able to get any before the tourney.Ive thought of Dash Hopes that could be great versus UB Control.
Any thoughts welcome.

Uh, yeah. Put in that 4th Bad Moon. I highly recommend cutting the Mirri's and working 4 Temporal Extorsions into the deck. With the quick beats, and Bad Moon backup, once you have half of your opponents life in total creatures power, it's game over with an extorsion.

And screw the Smallpox. It's a great card, but with all your weenies it's a major detriment to you. This is definately not a Smallpox deck.

Why do you have 2 maindeck Yawgmoths tombs with no other non-swamp lands? If it's just for a strip mine against UB, forget it. UB won't play their Tomb unless it's their 4th or 5th land. Well, a good UB player won't.

Sangrophage is risky with Wall of Roots, and should maybe be sideboarded out for Mirri's or something against that matchup. Otherwise, a solid choice.

I REALLY don't like the Withered Wretch's, as there is no matchup where a graveyard hoser in an aggro deck is a great card. What the heck are you afraid of anyways?

Great deck. I tested Mono black aggro and I loved the extorsions, give it a try. Oh yeah, and Totems for the sideboard against UB.

4 Korlash is definitely a good idea. I also prefer Tombstalker over LIege of the PIt as it's safer
