I need to update this to Mirrodin block cards, not that this is mirrodin block format. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking about that white beacon, but I'm not quite sure. Please critique.

White Beacon + False Cure = Instawin. Also, it helps you out in a pinch.

 

[train]

what about life bursts...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Life Burst costs mana and isn't free. That's what's wrong with that. Anyway, I'd need four to make them worthwhile, with three in my graveyard.

What should I drop from the deck for a few White Beacons?

 

[train]

actually you only need 2 in the graveyard...

but yeah it costs mana, and to pull off the kill you only need 4 mana...

 

[chocobo_cid]

You didn't answer the question.

Would Doomsday be worthwhile in this case?

 

[train]

for the beacons, maybe some ornithopters...

doomsday... no - it removes the graveyard from the game, so unless you have the kill cards in hand, it wouldn't be worth getting rid of everything all at once...

late game - maybe...

 

[chocobo_cid]

For Doomsday, I was thinking about a strategy involving getting another beacon or false cure into one's hand.

I love that as a finisher card.

 

[train]

I ran Doomsday with Soldevi Digger...

It's even better now with crucible of worlds, as you can run utility lands, etc...

 

[Tabasco]

I would drop 3 Demonic Tutor as it is restricted.......add a Vampiric Tutor(Restricted) and 2 Diabolic Tutors

The deck should be fine as it is.

I would add life bursts

 

[Oversoul]

Unless you're going to play the deck in tournament (and I don't see it competing in a Type I tournament, which means no Demonic Tutors anyway), why bother weakening it by using the crap known as Diabolic Tutor...

No one in Type I uses Diabolic Tutor anyway...

And if everything's four of's like that Demonic Consultation is better than Vampiric Tutor anyway...

The deck's just for fun anyway, right? Weakening it in order to make it conform to the Type I restricted list seems to me like a bad idea...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Please excuse the freudian slip that is Demonic Tutor/Diabolic Tutor. It was unintentional.

Crucible of Worlds? Doomsday removes the cards from the game, right?

A tpye 1 restriction also makes decks cheaper.

 

[train]

But it doesn't remove what's in play... and you get any five cards of your choice... to recur over and over...

and with a strip mine lock, or other lock you can rip some holes...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Right. I see where you're coming from. Then an extract or a Scalpelexis comes along...

 

[Oversoul]

Or a Denying Wind...

That card is so awesome, I should get some...

But really, if a Doomsday based deck resolves its Doomsday, it's normally worried about winning, not Extract...

 

[train]

No - blue would ruin it...

an ideal cycle would have no blue in it...

something like abeyance, strip mine, vindicate, reverse damage, and lightning bolt might do it...

"An evil blue cycle would be digger - timewalk..."

 

[Oversoul]

Where's the recursion in the first cycle you mentioned?

 

[train]

I've only listed one cycle...

and it's the digger that recurs them...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Digger is so cool. It has a nice little niche, just like donate.



That was a joke. Don't flame me like what happened in that crystalline sliver thread.

 

[Oversoul]

I don't remember anyone getting flamed there...

But I don't think I'll resist this time...

Actually, I can't think of anything too particularly bad about that statement...

But I'll flame you next chance I get...
