"Corey Segal took a long time and great amount of trouble to produce this deck. The original idea behind the Void/Disk deck was to eliminate an opponent's land and then destroy all of his artifact mana and permanents with the Nevinyrral's Disk, leaving him with nothing. After this occurred the Nether Void was to follow in sequence. This deck is an exceptional example of utilizing sequential play.

Later it was suggested that Corey add Rukh Eggs. They would make the Disks just that much more effective and increase the number of the deck's roads to victory. After the Disk goes off Corey simply regenerates his Trolls and then brings two Rukhs into play. The Black Vises and the artifact mana are the only cards that are likely to be damaged by the use of the Disk. In most cases the loss for the Void/Disk's controller is not as significant as the loss experienced by an opponent.

Corey did relatively well in the last few tournaments he played with this deck. The deck tends to do well against all of the five basic deck types [fast creature, burn, hand destruction, land destruction, and counterspell], except for decks that use a mixture of hand destruction and counter magic. Like most decks, once the Void/Disk deck begins to lose card economy it becomes very difficult for it to recover."
