1 Mana Crypt
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Sol Ring
3 Animate Dead
2 Dance of the Dead
1 Demonic Tutor
3 Duress
1 Entomb
3 Necromancy
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Ambassador Laquatus
1 Ancestral Recall
2 Cunning Wish
2 Deep Analysis
4 Force of Will
2 Intuition
3 Stifle
1 Time Walk
1 Crop Rotation
4 Squee, Goblin Nabob
3 Worldgorger Dragon
Lands:
1 Bayou
4 Bazaar of Baghdad
1 Island
4 Polluted Delta
1 Swamp
2 Tropical Island
4 Underground Sea

Sideboard
1 Blue Elemental Blast
1 Chain of Vapor
1 Coffin Purge
1 Naturalize
3 Pernicious Deed
1 Skeletal Scrying
1 Stroke of Genius
3 Verdant Force
3 Xantid Swarm
 

After the tournament i make some changes to my sideboard and maindeck


Maindeck changes:
-1 intuition
+1 Mystical Tutor

-1 Cunning Wish
+1 Scrivener

Sideboard Changes:

-1 Naturalize
-1 Chain of Vapor
-1 Skeletal Scrying
-1 Blue Elemental Blast
-1 Coffin Purge

+3 Chalice of the Void
and 2 open slots


Now i try to explain these changes

-1 intution +1 mystical

I try to play mistical tutor since now with the presence in the deck of Crop Rotation and Entomb i can set a fast 2nd turn kill with the mystical

-1 wish +1 scrivener

This is the 2nd kill of the deck. Mill all the deck with the bazaar, then target the scrivener, target wish with scriveneer and wins with the stroke.
In this way i can avoid the blessings, necropotence, yawgmoth's bargain and still win in one turn (and not wait a turn as i must do with a sliver queen)

Sideboard Changes

-5 Instants
+3 chalice of the void

Since the wishes maindeck goes from 2 to 1 i think that the targets for the wish in the sideboard must be cut. So i play 3 Chalice of the Void to improve the combo matchup (A lot of TPS in my area here in Italy)

Now i have 2 open slots for the sideboard and i need some advices

How about play a living wish in maindeck, fill the 2 open slots with 1 bazaar and 1 worldgorger???
 :shock:

The Dragon.dec can work without FoW? I feel that the deck has too much few blue cards to support the FoWs so i think about cut them.

My actual metagame is a lot of Stax and Hulk decks, some TPS and some Keeper so a full powever Metagame (very few persons plays unpowered)

Thx for any advice....

I have tested the Gorger deck MANY times without FOW and there is one thing I always encountered: getting my win countered. By having FOW you ensure that if you are going against a control player (or any player that has FOW) you can stop them from countering your win, or even your animates. I can't stress how often you will encounter this problem if you remove the FOW's from your deck. Hope this helps.
