splashing another colour in deck parfait...

[Anonymous]

not sure if i should post another topic on deck parfait as there are already 2...

but whatever, here goes nothing
i've been playing deck parfait for quite some and have difficulty (sp?) defeating keeper or OSE, they usually just go for the zuran orb and with their powers, i am not able to tax and rack. followed by a turbo-morphling plan, backed up with FoW, i have very little chance.

so, i've decided to go to the darker side    
and splash in black for the almighty tutors...

FYI, i am not very rich and cannot afford powers 'cept a  LoA  , however, the tourney organiser usually allow 5 proxies so as to promote t1 in my country (t1 is not very popular here, each tourney usually having only 7-10 people participating) oh yah, the decklist...

Looks pretty good, the only concern I can find (note: I am not overly familiar with parfait, so take this with a grain of salt) is that you still need to get two white mana on the table, and adding the need for a black source as well might make it hard to keep Tax active.

i thought parfait struggled due to lack of card advantage (where, admittedly, skrying helps), not tutoring.  what do you tutor for against control?

[Puschkin]

Tutoring isn´t that great vs control a lá Keeper and OSE, especially Vampiric which is card disadvantage. The just let you tutor, are happy with the "extra turn" they got, and counter whtever you fetched with the tutor unless it was a land.
What you really need from black is Duress, but that requires a consistent black mana source turn 1-2 and that´s impossible while you are dependant on having basics and requirering double W asap.
