    I'd cut the magus for a swamp.  I don think you need the ramp here and 21 lands is a little light.  
    • justintryon | 15-Nov-2013 16:16
      I'm feeling pretty good about it though. It's a mono-colored deck, has relatively in-expensive card draw, and ramp in the form of Liliana's Shade. I agree that the Magus doesn't do much. Maybe go for Pontif of Blight since I do own one copy.

    How did you come up with the title Gay Closet?
    • justintryon | 14-Nov-2013 13:50
      Ha ha ha! I originally called it Gray Matter, but since I added Conjurer's Closet I've re-named it. I NEED A BETTER NAME! I also don't own any Dread Warlock(s) anymore. Damn! I do have Nekrataal(s) though! And several Ambition's Cost. Better/worse than Sign in Blood?
      • Knuttypoo | 14-Nov-2013 22:31
        Nekrataal looks like it would be good in there.
        • justintryon | 15-Nov-2013 14:18
          I think it will be. What do you think about Ambitions Cost vs. Sign in Blood? And what about a new deck name? How about 'Merchant of Death"? I like that!
          • Knuttypoo | 15-Nov-2013 14:24
            Sign in Blood is superior to Ambition's Cost in that it can target another player, is half the casting cost, and is black bordered.
  • Shawn | 13-Nov-2013 18:16
    Dash Hopes is just a Lava Axe.  I'd cut them.
    I'd also look for more creatures that have good enters the battlefield effects if you want to use the closet.  I really like it with the Gray dude.
    You need more lands.


    Options for more black for the Grey dude:
    - Garza's Assassin to replace (or supplement) Murder
    - Gravestorm instead of Sign in Blood
    - Kuon, Ogre Ascendant
    • justintryon | 13-Nov-2013 21:00
      Why you always down on my Dash Hopes!? I need to look through my collection and see what might be better but I love the idea of having someone on the ropes trying to resolve something against me :-)
      Great options all of them but I'm pretty sure I own none of them! Closet works well with Merchant and Shade, I could do a Nekrataal or two? Oh yeah!
