Damn it! Everyone is a better Slaver player than me now!!!

My teamates actually physically hid my Responses because they were convinced it was terrible.

Null Rod is about 500 times more scary than Cursed Totem. And mana drain is an integral part of the deck; you can just drain into a Pentavus or Trike, and they're pretty darned big all by themselves.

By the way, does anyone Maindeck RNR anymore? A fish deck that goes turn 1 mox land null rod against your no fow hand...bad news right?

Tormod's Crypt is a minor inconvenience at most to slaver. Most lists do not run Gifts Ungiven and Slaver can pitch a Mox to Thirst and wait to hard-cast the Mindslaver off Drain mana and its land drops.

Skeletal Scrying, in my experience, is amazing at getting around Red Elemental Blast, which is probably the one card I am scared to see.

Quote Diceman: transformational board into Oath or Gifts?

I'd love to see a Sideboard list that can change Slaver into Oath. Care to share one or was this just a quick thought?

I played Landstill and scrubbed more horribly than I ever have, almost entirely because I played Arend in the first round, which is a particularly terrible matchup considering he knows my deck very well and how to win against it. After that I faced 3 rounds of mono red burn, all of which I lost terribly because they are simply unwinnable matchups. I played on just for the sake of killing time because Peter was shitting on everyone he played and finished a very sorry 1-5, with my lone win coming against Oath. Ah well, if you're going to scrub, you might as well scrub all the way.
