| what is it sopposed to do? There is some evasion, discard, removal and you can make extra mana with your creatures but how do you expect to win? |

| so he only has 1 winning combo with consume spirit? why doesn't he just add profane command to give him 4 more options |

Whettwheel + infinite mana seems good
note this is obviously a fun deck not a competitive one... but it should be able to steal some games from the latter to make it FNM worth |

| thanks...Im glad you think it will do well at FNM..I plan on doing just that exactly just to see how well it does competitively..in all honesty I dont expect it to do very well against a lot of the mainstream tier 1 and 2 decks..but it certainly is fun...and as it was pointed out earlier I have two win conditions, Whetwheel to mill them to death and consume spirit to deal lethal. Although I am thinking of cutting a few cards to add profane command... |

| drop Phthisis and Conspiracy (as well as lowering the whetwheel count - if not taking them out entirely) for more good cards. Profane Command, Swamp, nameless inversion, tendrils of corruption, more tutors. |

I think you should -2 Spirit and +2 Command. This way, you can bring back back your Basil Sliver and/or deal lethal.
It seems like quite the fun deck. Best of luck at your FNM. |

| I havent said that this was going to be the final deck..but yes it does need two nether traitors to go off infinite. Hence the reason why there are tutors and Vess. And yes I have been toying with dropping the whetwheel count down to two for either Vess and tutor or spot creature removal. And yes I am thinking of dropping phthisis because of its expensive mana cost..the reason conspiracy is in there is to give me another way to make traitor a sliver in case my hivestone gets destroyed, countered, or removed. |
