Land (24)

24 Cycling Land From Saga

I Think its pretty good agaisnt a lot of decks it kills stompy/sligh/random Aggro on tune 2-3 Consistanly as long as you get a nice draw  

Its almost an Autolose vs anything with Counterspells unless they Drop 2 turn 2 keg or Phid or something  

Any suggestions?

btw the SB right now is

1 Dark Ritual ( If you want a changeup in the Kill)
1 Haunting Misery ( Ditto ^ )
1 Living Death ( i Think its neat to pop 20 Creatures into play)
1 balance
3 Clear ( Vs Parfait )
2 Scrap
4 Masticores (For Lack of anything Usefull)
1 Goblin Game (see Masticore )

Plz explain why there are no living death maindeck? also, put 4 of those 2/4 flyers that cycle in from saga.

there are no living deaths Main deck because they are unneeded if things go well you should kill them with the 22+ Creatures in graveyard + Songs of the damned + Drainlife combo.

also i am trying to run as few non-cycling cards as possible so i can kill quicker without being stopped by having nothing but non-cycling cards in my hand.

If you have a Black Lotus I would replace the Screams of the Damned and the Drain Life with Haunting Misery and another cycling card, and make sure enough of my cycling cards are creatures (there should be enough).

Against control make sure you have 4 Miscalculations and as many blue cycling creatures as possible, so you can sideboard 1-2 Force of Will.

That said, this deck probably does not have a good matchup against control.

Hm, I wonder if adding Ancient Tombs would be good or not. It makes first turn Fluctuators possible and definately accelerate the kill by one turn if you play a cycle land first turn and a Tomb second turn. Then again the Tombs themselves don´t cycle and thus you may get stuck.

When adding lands, don´t forget Blasted Landscapes!

i do play 4 blasted landscapes.
i seriosuly considered Ancient Tombs but if i played them that would bring the non-cycling card count up to 11 which is too many i think.i dont think it would help the speed of the deck in fact it would probably slow me down because i would run out of cyclign cards and have a bunch of non combo cards left in my hand.

i forgot about miscalculation they are definatly going in the Sb or Main as soon as i find room.

it might not hurt to add vampiric/demonic tutor if you can up your black mana source count.  keeps you from mulliganing yourself out of the game

[Andreas]

The Miscalculations definitely belong into the Maindeck. As do ALL the Urza´s Saga cycling lands. The last thing you want to risk is Mana-Screw.

I would also be very careful to keep the number of non-cycling cards as low as possible. The necessary minimum is

4 Fluctuator
1 Black Lotus
1 Haunting Misery

Every non-cycling card beyond these greatly increases the risk of stopping in mid-combo.

There is the option of running City of Traitors, Moxen, Lion´s Eye Diamond, Lotus Petal and some of the Draw7s, plus maybe Ancestral Recall and Time Walk, but I have not managed to get this version to work properly yet.

24 is ALL the Cycling land.
4 green + 4 black + 4 red + 4 White + 4 blue + 4 Blasted landscape = 24(all the Cycling Available ). i dont have a lotus so i cant go the Haunting Misery route.I think it is better to stay with the Songs/petal/drain combo until i do get my hands on a lotus.

I personally think that fluctuator is only good in an aggro-heavy enviroment. If more than 10% of the metagame includes blue... just don't play it.
