Hi all, i'm a new italian user. I want your suggestions about an unpowered mask b/w...i know that without power9 it can't be so competitive, but i'm still building it and with your help i may build at least a tier1,5-tier2 deck. This is my actual decklist:

//Just a bit of mana for play:
4 Polluted Delta
3 Swamp
3 Snow-Covered Swamp
3 Scrubland

//Just a bit of Mana-Hand-Artifact disruption:
3 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
4 Duress
4 Cabal Therapy
3 Unmask
1 Disenchant

//Just a bit of spells to accelerate:
1 Mana Vault
1 Sol Ring
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Diamond
4 Dark Ritual

//Just a bit of tutors to have all:
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Enlightened Tutor

//Just a bit of drawers to draw some cards:
3 Tainted Pact
1 Necropotence

//Just a bit of critters to liquefy the opponent:
3 Phyrexian Negator
3 Withered Wretch
4 Phyrexian Dreadnought

//Just a bit of protection from countered creatures:
4 Illusionary Mask

//Just an utility to lock the opponent:
1 Crucible of Worlds

Sideboard:
3 Disenchant
3 Swords to Plowshares
1 Unmask
2 Cranial Extraction
4 Planar Void
2 Gate to Phyrexia

11 discard cards are the only protection the deck has...with 1 disenchant Razz ...i can't imagine this deck with less discard cards...starts like ritual duress-cabal anything else is the better start we can desire.
I choose the white as support color because we can have disenchant-stp-enlightened...i also tried the blue but it's too mana intensive. Yes a fow is good stuff but i prefer ruin the opponent's hand. Pact is very strong here, and 3x is the right number. mono-crucible 'cause we can tutor it when needed.
mmhhh that's it...gimme some help!
Thx

I'd say this deck is begging for a demonic consultation, with all those 3 and 4 ofs.

A 4th unmask MD is really nice, since you don't wanna run into a force when casting your mask.

Sol ring and mana vault are only useful in combination with mask, and when you have mask, you only need one more mana for the dreadnaught, so I doubt their usefullnes in here. Vault is slightly better then sol ring, as it provides a turn 1 mask+naught chance. I'd rather have more protection in the form of discard then those 2 cards, but they may work though.

3 withered wretch MD + 4 planar void in the side is kind of pushing it, isn't it? Maybe nice to fit in some chains of mephistopholes in the side instead of those planar voids.

Sidenote : Isn't the usual order of getting stuff : P9 first, masks later?

Seal of Cleansing is better than Disenchant, because it's tutorable via Enlightened.

Don't worry, it doesn't fit mine either.

@nastaboy: maybe i will add 1 seal MD...but i like also disenchant 'cause its instant. maybe side: -2 disenchant +2 seal
so MD ihave 1 disenchant and side 2 disenchant+2seal.
Maybe i'll change vault for the 4th unmask MD and in side -1 unmask +1 chains. -1 void +1 chains.
I'll try this build, and i'll tell you
