I just can't get this deck to work. When it goes off, it's REALLY hard to stop...but getting to that point is just rough. Too many cards that are just clunky. I even tried a version that combined dark depths + hexmage + lost auramancers to get extra rector effects....it was just much worse than strait DD, and the rector plan again was clunky. Nature's claim against me sucked hard too.
I Was wondering what the common consensus on the deck's win con was, I think the deck is far better off if your wincons are 2 griselbrand + 1 tendrils instead of 1x tinker, 1 Emrakul, 1 Bsc and 1 Griselbrand. You basically almost always win on the spot once you rector up Bargain or omniscience this way.
As far this deck being clunky, I don't think it's any clunkier than oath, it's less vulnerable to commonly played hate and has more Raw power. And you can always add more manipulation, you should play cards like jace, dig, gifts, ponder, it helps the consistency a lot.
I think the issue was I was playing sans blue. That left little for dig/manipulation, but I did have 4 diabolic intent, 4 therapy, 3 smallpox, 4 nights whisper, 1 DT, 1 vamp. Intent is awesome as you can tutor for emrakul/enter the infinite and rector up the omniscience in one shot...and not even need blue. Instead of 4x show and tell, I tried 4x contamination priest to strengthen against tinker, oath, dredge, etc.
I refuse to play a blue-based deck. I don't own the cards for blue, but even when i did, i still never played it. i hate blue.
