|
|
Hi everyone, me again. Recently I bought several packs of Planar Chaos, and I got quite a few Reality Acid. I decided not to put them to waste and built a deck using them. Please give me some feedback.
LANDS
3 Scrying Sheets
20 Snow-Covered Island
CREATURES
4 Dream Stalker
4 Drift of Phantasms
1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
3 Survivor of the Unseen
SPELLS
2 Tidings
4 Repeal
4 Remand
4 Compulsive Research
4 Reality Acid
4 Mark of Eviction
3 Cloudstone Curio
| Quote: | | ***end of deck list*** |
Now, for an explanation of some of my card choices...
Dream Stalker - a 1U-Boomerang on a 1/5 creature; stops most creatures and returns my Reality Acid to hand
Drift of Phantasms - transmutes for Reality Acid, or Cloudstone Curio, or other 3cc cards
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir - I didn't include this at first, but I realised I needed a win condition, and beating down with Dream Stalker isn't the fastest way to do so. In any case, this person is pretty solid.
Survivor of the Unseen - draws me cards, and "disposable" when I can't afford the cumulative upkeep; return to hand, drop him and draw some more =)
Mark of Eviction - cheap bounce, whether used on the creatures across the board or on my side
Cloudstone Curio - Mark of Eviction and Reality Acid...Dream Stalker and itself (and other creatures)
The question is should I keep the manabase as it is? Or should I stick to 23 Islands? Is Chronatog Totem any good in this deck? Any other ways I can make this deck tick? =) |

| He doesn't need more, He just needs a better one than Mark of Eviction. I would say, add in 5 snow-covered plains and 4 Gelid Shackles. I use Drake Familiar in my deck, as opposed to Dream Stalker. |

| for the mana base, I'd drop one island. the rest seems fine, except you don't really have any early defense. and your only counter is remand? cmon... I know I know, it gets you a card, but mana leak or rune snag would fit much better here. because you know, they actually protect you in the long-run. |

-4 Mark
-2 Tidings
-3 Survivor
-1 Repeal
-1 Curio
+1 Teferi
+3 Copy Enchantment
+4 Snag/Leak
+2 Annex
+1 Confiscate
Mark/Evict is a horrible card, so is Survivor.
Tidings is redundant as you have too much draw.
Copy enchantment should be a no-brainer, along with annex and confiscate.
And yeah, you need more counters (mana leak)
IMO, I would get rid of all the snow crap and add 4 deserts, academy ruins, and a factory or two. Factory is an awesome win condition. |

In fact, Survivor is arguably the worst card in t2 (/joke)

| Just to confirm something - if I play Copy Enchanment with Cloudstone Curio and Reality Acid in play, can I choose to copy Reality Acid before I return it to my hand? |
