I decided that the MW wasn't quite ready, so I played a MBC deck. It did ok for a semi-budget deck, 2-0, 0-2, 2-0, 1-0 (had to leave).
Creatures - 13
2 Ravenous Rats
2 Kiku, Night's Flower
2 Abyssal Specter
3 Nekrataal
2 Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
2 Nezumi Shortfang
Spells and Equipment - 23
3 Umezawa's Jitte
4 Echoing Decay
4 Rend Flash
2 Eradicate
2 Sickening Shoal
4 Consuming Spirit
4 Distress
Lands - 24
2 Stalking Stones
22 Swamp
Round One
vs. Zubera deck with Yosei oand Oyobi. In game one, he never got rolling as a Jitte and Nekrataal tore through for the win. In game two, the Abyssal Specter with Jitte won.
Round Two
vs. MBC, but with power (Kokusho, Chrome Mox, Cranial Extraction, Persecute). I never had a chance.
Round Three
vs. White Weenie
Game one was removal, Ink-Eyes, capture Masako from graveyard, roll to win.
Game two it was three Consuming Spirits in a row for 19 pts total that ended it.
Round Four
vs. T & N running Urzatron and Eternal Witness. The game was slowed when I distressed a Sylvan Scrying and he pulled multiple Urza's Plant and Mine. I Eradicated his Eternal Witness, he got out T&N. Echoing Decay on Kiki-Jiki and blocked his Darksteel Colossus. He pulled out a Sundering Titan and attacked again with the DC. I was down to 4 life, but a Rend Flesh on his Sundering Titan left a Ravenous Rat with full Jitte to sneak through for the last points of damage.
The deck really seems out of balance. Kiku can be really good. Nezumi Shortfang did nothing. Ink-Eyes won the White Weenie matchup, but didn't do a lot more. Consuming Spirit is a great card with 24 lands, although Stalking Stones never made an impact.
Any help would be appreciated. I am a bit low on power T2 card though. My binder does not have any Cranial Extraction or Chrome Mox, but does sport a few cards:
Kokusho x 1
Royal Assassin x 4
Horobi, Death's Wail x 4
Sickening Shoal x 4
Playsets of all black Ninja and Rats
Playsets of all Betrayers Common/Uncommon
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to try this one more time, but perhaps it's time to move toward WW or Turtle.dec?
