warlockers tog

[warlocker19]

Well, after taking a long, hard lok at my meta i can see this as being the absolute best deck choice.  The reason being it's versatility and flexibility to the colorful matchups i see like combo and aggro.
  Many of my choices are metagame appropriate whicih i'll explain but for now:

You can't handle 1.00

3 psychatog

4 force of will
4 mana drain
3 duress

2 pernicious deed

4 brainstorm

4 accumulaed knowledge
2 deep analysis
3 intuiton

1 demonic tutor
1 mystical tutor  ( my beliefs on this card are expressed below) 31
1 ancestral recal
1 time walk
3 cunning wish
1 yawgmoth's will

4 pollted delta
4 underground sea
4 tropical island
1 lotus
5 moxen
1 library of alexandria
1 stripmine
3 wasteland

sideboard//

1 berserk
1 oxidize
1 stifle
1 misdirection
1 vampiric tutor
1 fact or fiction
1 diabolic edict
2 deep analysis
1 capsize
3 coffin purge
2 naturalize

Well, here is my list.  The deck itself is pretty standard but..

3 Intuition:  Yes, i believe that is a stronger number allowing for much faster cards drawing when an intuition is seen sooner.

Mystical tutor is a great card, IMP.  It allows fora draw of anything ou of the deck minus togs and deeds.

Duress has also proven invaluable against combo.

the strips are also in my build because they are too diruptive not to run in my meta.

Thanks...
again

Not enough discussion. Moved to Newbie.

[blacksburgtrader]

What about the volcanic islands?  REB is strong in mirror.  And why capsize ? 1 pernicious seems to be enough.  Besides hulk smash smashes things no need for to much removal.  But i do agree with the 3 intuition.  May need gorilla shaman for Slaver match.

[jpmeyer]

It's just kind of hard to comment on this because this is pretty much identical to the consensus 3c Tog

[Suckamouf37]

3 Intuitons but no Sol Ring or Mana Crypt?

[warlocker19]

It's hard to add sol ring/crypt because i dont want to lack on the colored mana..

Red wasn't added because i dodn't feel it neccessary, but...

it may be an option.

Can anyone give me a list for the most powerful red cards in T-O-G



thanks

[RoadTrippin]

Mana Crypt is definitely better than Mox Pearl, which is essentially colorless mana to you anyway. I can't really see a reason not to run that or at least Sol Ring.

[warlocker19]

That's an exteremely good point.

-1 mox pearl

+1 mana crypt

Also, i can not cut the strips.  There are critical for my meta.  Otherwise the sol ring would go in as well.

Can anyone give me a list for the most powerful red cards in T-O-G

Firestorm
Artifact Mutation
Gorilla Shaman
And the most important of all...
Red Elemental Blast

[warlocker19]

1 pernicious deed
2 gorilla shaman

4 brainstorm
1 ancestral recal
1 time walk
1 demonic tutor

1 berserk
1 oxidize
1 stifle
1 misdirection
1 vampiric tutor
1 fact or fiction
1 artifact mutation
2 deep analysis
3 red elemental blast
2 coffin purge
1 rack and ruin

Is this better now with red??

[Hi-Val]

You've got to decide what is more important: red or wastelands. You cannot have both, as one blood moon entirely wrecks your deck, as does Back to Basics. If you say Wasteland is critical to your meta, I'd run it. Red is better if you're facing down a lot of control, but that's what Back to Basics on the 3C Hulk sideboard is for.

[kirdape3]

If Wasteland's critical, then play the non-red version with Back to Basics boarded.

[warlocker19]

i def. think that the wastes are more important than the 4th color.
Essentially, that allows me to drop the ruby for a sol ring.

The sideboard now looks like this though:

1 berserk
1 oxidize
1 stifle
1 misdirection
1 vampiric tutor
1 fact or fiction
1 diabolic edict
2 deep analysis
3 back to basics
2 coffin purge
1 naturalize
