You can't mana burn until the end of one of your phases


Also, the card is just too unreliable

This is the current sideboard that I'm using, being that my current meta is mainly GAT, with some flash, STAX, Ichorid, and Gobbos.

3x Spell Snare
4x Leyline of Singularity
2x Swords to Plowshares
1x Brain Freeze
1x Chain of Vapor
2x Hurkyl's Recall
1x Chalice of the Void
1x Disenchant

If I'm up against GAT, then I side in all three Spell Snares, and pull out mystical, 1 Mana Drain,  and Cunning Wish. Also, i'll bring in 2 StP, and pull out Pithing Needle and 1 Trinket Mage. Stax brings in Chain, Disenchant, 2 Hurky'ls recall, and pulls out 2 Drains, 1 Misdirection, , and 1 Mystical. Gobbos bring in the leylines and chain. Flash brings in the leylines and chalice. I havn't been able to test the SB consistently, but this is what I would see myself doing in the matchups

For starters, maindeck 4 brainstorms. Also, being that your win will be off the tog, play atleast 3 daze maindeck.

Play all 5 moxen

1x Strip mine

I would also run the duress main

Toss some smother in the SB, it helps when you're up against GAT.

You need to run Leyline's SB also IMO, either of the Void or Singularity (Whichever your preference is.) Up against Stax, Void is better, but i've found that Singularity has its perks as well.

As far as Mystical Tutor is concerned, I like it because of the fact that it's an instant. IE: I can play it at the end of my opponents turn, instead of casting merchant scroll and being too low on mana.

I originally had 4 drains in the deck, but cut 1 to add cunning wish so I had an alternate win condition if say my spellbomb was extirpated or extracted.

With cards like echoing truth maindeck, and chain in the SB, I felt that I had enough bounce to take care of dryads etc. Also, post board, I bring in Leyline and chain maindeck. I'll give the deck a try with another spellbomb though.

Needle can be an effective tool against cards like Carrion Feeder(Along with Kiki-Jiki), Goblin Welder, Mindslaver, and even fetches  (I've won due to locking down an opponents delta, and he didnt draw enough mana to be effective.) I've also used it against Karn to prevent my board from being wiped.


The Angels are there for the mirror match. Seal is there as a pre-emptive measure against decks that run null rod, sphere of resistance, and 3-sphere. Disenchant is for any other spot removal, or being fetched with Cunning Wish.
Energy flux IMO can be a double-edged sword. If I can't pay for my own artifacts, then a good stax player can just outrun me, or bring in a single Sundering Titan to beat me down in 2-3 turns via welder.

Cunning wish is there to get Hurkyl's Recall, Disenchant, and chain if I need the extra bounce against a leyline of the void. I find that also being able to scroll or mystical for Cunning wish, then grabbing Brain freeze is an easier win, especially if my spellbomb is somehow RFG.

I'll give cutting Mystical and adding the 4th drain, along with playtesting energy flux, and the 2nd spellbomb. Thanks for the feedback and advice

I've been playing around with Bomberman for a little over a month now, switching over from SS. In the current environment, SS just can't stand up to GAT and flash, along with just about any other combo deck. This is my decklist that i'm running, and it's working well:

How does it look to you guys? Like I said, i'm still fairly new to the deck, althoug I'm doing well with playtesting, being that my current meta consists of Stax, Ichorid, Flash, GAT, Slaver, and a couple of home brews.

Well, the build is essentially gifts pre june 1st, except that it now runs intuition and gush...

So wait.. doesn't that make this intuition/gush-tendrils

I started playing vintage a few months ago, and I started off with a UW fish build that I found, in my current meta, just couldn't do well.. much. So, since then, i've worked it into UWb, then UBw, and now I've cut the whiteentirely, and made it into a UB build that I've been told is similar to some SS builds.

19 Land
4 Underground Sea
2 Swamp
1 Island
1 Snow Covered Island
4 Polluted Delta
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine

Let me know what you think, what needs to go, and what I'm missing. As far as my meta, it's a number of decks including a few gifts variants, flashhulk, grim long, oath, ichorid, pitch long, stax, and some home brewed decks.
