Topic: Tithe Drinker's Extort + lifelink (2 replies, posted in General Discussion)
If I activate the extort on the tithe drinker to damage my opponent does that meet the lifelink requirement? Basically if I activate the Tithe Drinker extort do I gain 2 life?
I'm thinking not as that would be pretty powerful for the cost. Also, I believe lifelink has to be combat damage?

Re: Just started playing (2 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Looks like you're going White/Black and splashing in a little green?
I'd start with your mana. I'd get rid of all your dual lands and gates. Why? They all give you Blue mana and you have no blue spells. Look at the ones that give you the colors you want white/green white/black and black/green.
You're also going to want and try to and get multiples of cards to make your deck more consistent. It's best to have a vision for what you want the deck to do and go from there.
Oh, I'd pare it down to 60 cards also, better chance of getting your good cards out that way.
Good luck!

Feedback is appreciated.
Basically a Gruul deck that includes unblockables and Varolz, the Scar-Striped. Basic premise is bloodrush the unblockable then use Varolz to scavenge the bloodrushed creatures and give permanent bump to the unblockable. I also threw in some Alpha Authority to give the unblockable hexproof.
Thoughts?

and.... That was painful. 0-4 with each game losing 0-2. 0-8 on the night and it was never even close. Back to the drawing board.

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
So I got an invite to an invitation only Standard Constructed at my FLGS tonight. I'm taking this deck. I'm considering removing a cancel and a rootborn defenses from the sideboard and adding a pair of Simic Charm. Or maybe throwing them in the MB in place of the Stolen Identities? Good idea? Bad idea? Over thinking it again?

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I was actually asking about token copies cheaper than stolen identity. I have lots of populates but only 4 cards (cackling counterpart) to make the first token copy of the biovisionary. Stolen identity (4BB)costs twice cackling counterpart (1BB). and since I don't use the cipher it's just too expensive. suggestions based on my more accurately stated request? (Note that I thought about splashing some black and adding Evil Twin but if someone hits it with a treasonous act or similar it can wipe me out).

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Wow. This deck is far exceeding my expectations so far. I can't believe how good it is doing and how quick it is. I did manage to get a hold of 2 more Nevermore so I'll be adding those to the sideboard. I still need to find another low drop way (other than cackling counterpart) to make tokens from the biovisionary to help speed up all the populates. Thoughts?

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Until I track down a couple Nevermore cards I'm stuck at 2 as that is all I own. I did swap out a growing ranks for a stolen identity in the MB and put the growing tanks in the SB in the place of an Infinite Reflections. I realized I had a ton of populates but only Cackling Counterpart to actually make a token out of the Biovisionary.

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Okay, based on TyWooOneTime's suggestions I modified the deck again and included a sideboard this time. Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with this deck. Of course I've yet to test it out. I'll be heading to my FLGS at my earliest opportunity to test it under fire.
As always, constructive criticism, suggestions and comments are welcome!

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Based on some previous comments I also picked up 2x Nevermore for the sideboard. Thanks for the feedback. I'll tweak it and post a new link.

Re: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Okay folks. Here's my first stab at it. I need to cut 7. I'm leaning towards cutting at least some of the Stolen Identity due to mana cost and I won't really be using the cipher but I like the token copies.
Help is appreciated!

Topic: Need help with a Biovisionary deck. (22 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
For some reason Biovisionary has really caught my interest so I thought I'd try and build a deck around it. I could use some help. I am thinking
Biovisonary
Stolen Identity
Parallel Lives
Clone
Fog (for defense)
Fog Bank (for defense)
I don't know what all else. I'm thinking counterspells of one sort or another. Also some search my library spells. Maybe some unblockables to cipher the Stolen Identity on.
Suggestions?
