I've had an apostrophe! (Nasty little U/B combo)

I'm probably the Nth person to think of this combo, but it's T2 and pretty evil, so I thought I'd post it.

Sway of Illusion (naming green)
+
Perish
=
3UB, Bury all creatures target opponent controls, draw a card.

Considering the sheer proliferation of green in decks out there now (Fires, Whatevergeddon), do you think that maindecking Perish is a viable choice, especially when paired with Sway?

Personally, yes. I already maindeck Perish, but I don't have blue in that deck, so no Sway. I would say that's viable, especially if you're using Pro: Color creatures as well like Zombies.

Blue? Too risky, If your creatures become green (on account of no fault of your own) you lose some good stuff not to metion if they are playing not green already they are playing some sort of control (Counter Spell burns!).

But I like that style completely confuzing them and then blowing all there stuff up.

I prefer scouting treck/clear the land..... Not much came of that, either...

Duel - Mostly because 1) it gets your opponent some mana, 2) it doesn't draw you a card, 3) it has no real effect other than filtering five land from your deck into play, and 4) it can't kill anything.

Namelius - How is blue risky? Besides, if you go up against one of the decks that don't play green but DO play blue (W/U, and...ummm...hmm), just board the combo out for some hate.

Zadok - Good man. Too much green in the world today not to maindeck Perish. Of course, if you kill all green creatures, a 2/2 pro-green won't help TOO much...

999th post. I'm THAT CLOSE...

Anyways, this combo has a couple problems
1: It doesn't work against fires (re: PERISH DOES THE SAME THING)
2: There are easier bombs to back up. I dunno, it seems like solid supporting combo, but I wouldn't build a deck around it.
