4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
2 Hallowed Fountain
1 Watery Grave
1 Godless Shrine
1 Seat of Synod
1 Great Fernace
2 Island
1 Plains
1 Swamp

4 Meddling Mage
4 Dark Confidant
2 Jotun Grunt
2 Isamaru
2 Serra Avenger
3 Trinket Mage

4 Duress
1 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Challiace of the Void
1 Pithing Needle
1 Engenered Explosives
3 Jitte
1 Sword Fire and Ice
3 Chrome Mox
2 Counter Balance
3 Mana Leak
2 Stifle
3 Remand

Here is what i would run at any extended Tournament... i would run a sb of

1 Counterbalance
3 Extirpate
1 Stifle
3 Vindicate
3 Cabal therapy
1 Jitte
1 Engenered Explosives
2 Silver Knight / or something of your metagame choice...

ok Duress is a good card to run MD due to the fact it allows you to open there entire hand, and have a chance to not miss a card removed.. Cabal is a SB card so on G2,G3 you can have an idea as what to name.

I like running lower land count in this deck cause your curve ends at 3, so 18 lands with fetchs and trinkets to tutor your lands as well (if you go with my idea to run artifact lands) plus 3 Mox is good, helps fight the flow match G1....

And Serra Avenger is a beating with a Jitte or SFI...

Stifle is a must MD for deeds and combo... plus the random fetch to LD... haha FAVS!

Well hope what i have given you here is helpful... ENJOY! HAVE FUN!

Yes, I agree, you run 1 random Great Furnace with 0 red cards except explosives, which is more likely to hurt the mana base, I would rather run one Ancient Den and one Vault of Whispers.

Counters like Leak and Remand are really meh in that kind of decks, you could instead run another land and obv 4 vindicate main deck. I would also run Silver knight main deck or more Sensei's diving top and 3rd counterbalance, instead of the random sword of fire and ice, and isamarus.

ok so i didn't mean to put in the red Artifact land thats supposed to be a black, sorry.... Mistake

um i agree with the sword pull out, and i would like to run shadowmage infiltrator.. the draw in this deck is slim to none by only running 1 TOP

so lets do this::
- 1 SF&I
- 3 Remand
- 3 Mana Leak
+ 3 Shadowmage Infitrator
+ 1 Trinkit mage
+ 1 Sensei's divining Top
+ 1 Isamaru
+ 1 CounterBalance

there hows that seem, here is the new break down

4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
2 Hallowed Fountain
1 Watery Grave
1 Godless Shrine
1 Seat of Synod
1 Vault of Wispers
2 Island
1 Plains
1 Swamp

4 Meddling Mage
4 Dark Confidant
2 Jotun Grunt
3 Isamaru
2 Serra Avenger
4 Trinket Mage
3 Shadowmage Infiltrator

4 Duress
2 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Challiace of the Void
1 Pithing Needle
1 Engenered Explosives
3 Jitte
3 Chrome Mox
3 Counter Balance
2 Stifle

as for the SB i am a little unsure i know i want

3 Extirpate
1 Stifle
3 Silver Knights
4 Vindicate
3 Cabal therapy
1 Jitte

suggestions Please to the new Deck ideas

That looks a lot better allready Very Happy

Now about the sideboard, vindicate doesn't belong there. Vindicate is a card that should always be played maindeck because the best thing about it is having maindeck enchantment/arti hate without having a dead card.
