My my my...what is this? An actually content laden post by Evan_Mann? Why yesindeedee.
With Gush's restriction taking place on July 1st, so goes FastBond's usefullness. The only other reason to play green in the various Psychotog builds is Berserk and Regrowth ... neither of which are reason enough to continue to support green. Yes yes yes...there's still Quirion Dryad. But once again with Gush out of the picture, gone are the turns where you turn your 1/1 Dryad into a 10/10 and then Timewalk in for the Berserk kill.
The alternatives then are to go straight blue/black or splash another color. White is cute and does have some nifty choices but none of them compare to the power of Red Elemental Blast and Fling ... the Berserk replacement.
So, I think that come July 1, I will be trying this...
4 Psychotog
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Timewalk
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Gush
2 Intuition
4 Accumulated Knowedge
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Tutor
2 Cunning Wish
1 Upheaval
4 Manadrain
4 Force of Will
2 Misdirection
3 Duress
1 Black Lotus
1 Sol Ring
5 Moxes
4 Pollted Delta
4 Underground Sea
4 Volcanic Island
4 Island
2 City of Brass
1 Undiscovered Paradise
SIDEBOARD
1 Fling
4 Red Elemental Blast
1 Diabolic Edict
1 Capsize
2 Blue Elemental Blast
2 Fire/Ice
1 Ebony Charm
1 Stroke of Genuis
1 Shatering Pulse
1 metagame call
Comments? Does anyone know of a way to "combo out" with just black and blue? That would save a lot of stress on the manabase.
Also, I'm sure I'm missing some nice Instant tricks to Wish for...so if anyone has ony suggestions in that department, that too would be nice.
One more thing...should the 3 main-deck Duress be some sort of removal?
Thanks in advance to anyone who cares to respond.
