This deck is AWESOME!  It should have absolutely no trouble beating Pitch Long.



@ Mods - sorry, I couldn't resist.

Sarcasm, jerkitude towards new posters and spam are unacceptable. Verbal warning.

everyone knows this deck cant beat Pitch long, this deck is good in a meta full of stax and gifts.

I dont know what to say about this deck, but I will try.

I would replace terror with chainers edict.

replace Demonic Hordes with Hell dozer. They are the same, except that the dozer doesnt have the upkeep cost, and it is a 6/5 instead of 5/5, and if you destroy a nonbasic land, you can destroy again.

Maybe add Nantuko shades, and perhaps a nivenyrrals disk to clean the board.

19 lands in a 75 card deck? How do you even play this? I think that you would get mana screwed often.

Thanks for your comment, i will try to find a Nantuko shades and for the Nevinyrral's Disk, i think he could play anyting with my nether void or gloom etc.. so it's ok  :lol: and yes Hell dozer is better but.. i don't like this new desing on new cards  ( Mirrodin an up.. )

@ Mods - sorry, I couldn't resist.

So all I have to do is apologize to the mods and it is ok to post off topic in a derogatory way?

@ Mods - sorry, I'm not Stephan, but please forgive this post.

Please use the "report this post" function in the future.

-Hi-Val

On topic, to the thread starter, I do think you need more land.  Are you sure word of command is that great, since it an be responded to?  Maybe a single neropotence?  Also, underworld dreams is iffy unless you are playing multiplayer; try chains of mephestopheles if you want to shut of excessive card draw?

[MAX1]

Thanks philato but my priority now is for Yawgmoth's Will  :lol:

[Largent]

You may also want to cut her down to 60 cards, playing more means less chance to get the card you need.

[Shmn]

Like Largent said, concising your deck to 60 cards is vital. That is because every deck has a strategy and needs consistency in drawing essential cards.

Looking at your list I think the deck is suffering from indecisiveness - does it want to be a LD (land destruction) deck, Void, Sui or something else?

Regardless of strategy, the weakest cards in your list are the following because they are either inefficient on their own or do not suit the strategy:

1 x Demonic Hordes
4 x Mole Worms
2 x Worms of the Earth
2 x Word Of Command
4 x Rhystic Tutor
2 x Death Grip
2 x Gloom
2 x Terror
2 x Underworld Dreams
4 x Drain Life

To me the rest of your deck looks much like a Nether Void deck, which is a course I recommend if you like mana denial. I recommend you read Zherbus' primer (part 1, part 2, part 3) to better understand how the deck works and which cards to use and why.

Here's the first decklist from the primer:

Devil's Bile, by Zherbus

Creatures (12)
4 Nantuko Shades
4 Hypnotic Specters
4 Mishra's Factory

Disruption (15)
4 Sinkhole
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Duress
3 Nether Void

Removal (3)
3 Powder Kegs

Broken (4)
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Yawgmoths Will
1 Demonic Consultation
1 Necropotence

Mana (26) (30 w/Mishra's)
4 Dark Rituals
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland
1 Sol Ring
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Jet
14 Swamps

Obviously if you stay casual and do not aim for competitiveness, you may make adjustments according to personal preference.

Another route in which you can take your deck is a Megrim based deck with heavy discard. Such a deck could look something like this (I used to play this casually):

Dark Dreams.dec

Spells (35)

4 Duress
4 Hymn To Tourach
4 Night's Whisper
3 Innocent Blood

3 Megrim
3 Chains of Mephistopheles
3 Underworld Dreams

4 Anvil Of Bogardan
2 Ensnaring Bridge
1 Memory Jar

1 Mind Twist
1 Necropotence
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Demonic Tutor

Manasources (25)

14 Swamp
4 Dark Ritual
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
1 Lotus Petal
1 Sol Ring

Hope I gave you some ideas as to how to improve your deck. You should also look into Sui Black as an option if you want to take an aggressive route with disruption and a tendency to hurt oneself.
