I play a Modular/Artifact Aggro Deck (without power or workshop but this should not be important for the question) using things like cranial plate/arcbound slith/juggernaut. To gain tempo advantage I use 5 strip and 4 tangle wire but it seems this is not enough so I added black (a lot of free slots existed) for either sinkhole/dark ritual in combination with duress/yawg win/etc. But what is more important, a possible timewalk by sinkhole or REAL tempo with the addition of dark rituals? Here is my list: 4 Juggernaut 4 Arcbound Slith 4 Nim Shrieker (i like it because of : flying, imprinted cranial plate) 2 Synod Centurion 2 Gemini Engine (also amazing with modular counters on it-> double damage)
4 Cranial Plating
5 Strips 4 Tangle Wire 4 Sinkhole / OR 4 Rituals
1 Mana Crypt 1 Sol Ring 1 Mana Vault 1 Grim Monolith 1 Lotus Petal 4 Ancient Tomb 2 City of Traitors 16 Swamps
I do not want to go under 16 swamps because of sinkhole, this is a great addition to the deck because additional attack provided by landdestruction is VERY good here. Sorry for my bad english I am from germany! I hope you could understand everything!
Everybody wants to know how Tempo is defined, i know the answer: =) Tempo is just an expression when your opponent cannot do more than before for one/a couple of turns. A perfect example is Tangle Wire, often this is a 3 mana time walk when your opponent is forced to tap everything. Its card disadvantage which leads to tempo. sorry for my bad english
Look at this card: Mana Severance It makes an instant win possible in combination with Goblin Charbelcher without playing 1-2 lands only in the deck and without the risk... Is this 2-card-combo playable? I think yes because its relatively cheap. Sorry for my bad english
But it is like Future Sight, some turns and you won... Decks without Counters but Aggro/Disruption would get HUGE advantage if this cards is on board for at least 2-3 turns!
Look at this card: Psychic Vortex http://www.magiccards.info/?id=7737 You can draw sooo much cards and in a few turns you can overwhelm your enemy... Why is this card not played? Disadvantages of this card can also easily be negated...
