Hello, iv been running parfait in 1.5 for over a year now, and its under gone many many changes as the months have passed. In this post i will try to get my point accross on running what i do, and would like feed back and opinions on additions and subtractions. Thanks for looking - Eric
// Engine. 3 Land Tax 4 Scroll Rack 2 Zuran Orb
// Enchantments 2 Blood Moon 1 Moat 2 Humility 2 Story Circle
//Scepter 4 Isochron Septer 3 Tithe 3 Fire/Ice 4 Orims Chant 4 Swords to Plowshare 3 Argivian Find 2 Disenchant
// Kill 3 Goblin Charbelcher
// Land 3 Plateau 2 Mountain 13 Plains
This is the version i am now running after making my latest changes to it. I places second in a 1.5 tournament last week, after 4 tournaments with my pevious version i made the following changes:
-3 Wasteland. My meta was just non-basic light, in addition to the blood moons against a deck w/ non-basics it was awasome, but in most matchups i really would have rathered them be white mana sources.
-2 Replenish. I finally came to the point where i can cut there, i liked them in the deck as a fall back, bomb spell against mass removal and control, moving to SB in most cases they were just dead cards.
+1 Fire/Ice i added a 3rd f/i for redundancy, i never drew them enough to actually get a good feel for them, but i love the card, espically now playing 2 humilities.
+1 Humility. Love this card. awasome. nuff said.
+3 Plateaus. I never ran duals in here due to blood moons, and wastes taking up spots. I added these for more red sources for F/i and to help with the belcher. More often then not a belcher was for 1-4. not a huge bomb so i cut down one land and add 2 more red sources hopefully this will help.
In my deck, as opposed to alot of newer parfait, i run tithes. I really enjoy having this card. Being light on mana i always liked em in addition to land tax, allows me to fect a plateu, and imprintable on the secepter.
In additon i also run story circle, being 1.5 and mainly aggro decks. I rarely drew this and didnt want it.
Next point i wanted to get out for discussion. Playing this deck the tax/rack draw engine never really comes into play anymore with scepeters and belchers making the game quicker. At sometimes i wanna cut it, but for what??
Now on the SB which is now going under the most reconstruction, iv been trying to fine tune it but its been hard.
My last SB consisted of:
1 Replenish 1 Blood Moon 3 Defense Grid 3 True Believer 2 Tormonds Crypt 2 Decree of Justice 3 Aura of Scilence
I saw on a post about parfait, someone running life bursts. I think these may be a great addition to the SB against aggro, i do have MANY main deck cards against aggro, but something about this card i like. (i lost 2 matches in the past 2 striaght burn) Worth trying??
2ndly, i run true believers over ivory mask, these were amasome. helping in the earily game to set up as opposed to 4th turn. Usually a bomb cause most decks would side out creature removal. Now running 2 humilities main i may switch to the mask... opinions? sorry havent yet play tested yet.
3rd, Auras are to slow, switching to seals of cleansing. being 1.5 and no workshops in my meta. this a must switch.
I was running decrees so i have an alternative win incase i see null rod and/or damping matrix. I was considering running goblin trenches now that i have 5 red sources? opinions on this or cut it all together.
In conclusion, I would like a hand on the sideboard mainly. I have a pretty bad match up against control and combo. (Decks i lost to: Oath, Control with scepters, Replenish, Solitarty Confinment)
Are REBs worth it in addition to D Grids? Comments please here.
I also like the life bursts against aggro? Once again here worth it?
Possibilities are as followed:
2 Seal of Cleansing 1 Disenchant 2 Replenish 3 D grid 2 T Crypts 3 True Believer 4 Life Burst 4 REB 2 Decrees 2 G Trenches 1 Blood Moon
Any help you can give would be nice, the decks change from tournament to tournament so i cant really give a good meta description (sligh, survival/recur nightmare, scepter burn, control w/ scepter, Oath, nether void, few R/g Beat) Once again i state this is for T1.5 not T1. If any other questions need to be answered to help you, dont hesitate to ask.
Thanks Eric
