So, in this new metagame, it seems that Null Rod would be a house again. Noticing that some of the more popular decks run 4 extra moxen, Grindstone as a win, Time Vault + Tezz, and mindlsaver. I also felt that the best way to go with this is to run Ur Landstill.
For consideration, here is a list...
Lands 4 Volcanic Island 1 Steam Vents 4 Flooded Strand 4 Wasteland 1 Strip Mine 2 Island 4 Mishra's Factory 3 Faerie Conclave 1 Library of Alexandria
Artifact 1 Black Lotus 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Mox Ruby 4 Null Rod 1 Crucible of Worlds
Instant 1 Ancestrall Recall 4 Force of Will 4 Stifle 4 Mana Drain 3 Misdirection 2 Echoing Truth 1 Chain of Vapor 4 Fire/Ice
Sorcery 1 Time Walk
Enchantment 4 Standstill
Sideboard 2 Pyroclasm 3 Threads of Disloyalty 4 Chalice of the Void 3 Rack and Ruin 3 Red Elemental Blast
I believe that, if there were a time for a deck like this to truly shine, it would be in a metagame like this. One that relies on artifacts as a win condition would seem to be hard to beat a deck full of counters + Null rod.
The other option I was thinking of was Urbana Fish. The deck is great, with duress, bob, null rod, fows, etc. the deck seems to pack a lot of disruption.
Here is a list..
Urbana Fish (Moxlotus) Manas: 24 5 strip 6 fetch 3 Sea 3 Volc 1 Island 1 Badlands 4 Mox 1 Lotus
Dudes: 16 4 Bob 4 Cursecatcher 3 Ninja 3 Monkey 2 Bouncer
Other: 20 1 recall 1 Walk 3 Rod 4 Force 4 Duress 2 Stifle 2 Spell Snare 2 REB 1 Shattering Spree
SB: 4 Threads of Disloyalty 4 Goblin Welder 2 REB 3 BEB 2 Spell Snare
The deck utilizes Null rod, while disrupting and putting pressure on their opponents.
So in conclusion, I believe that this is a time for Null Rod to shine. Thoughts?
