    Yawgmoth's Will is a good way to rebuy your graveyard and get some extra use on your rituals. Brain Freeze might be too janky but Im sure someone has tried it. Tezzeret the Seeker/ Voltaic Keycould make something happen?
    • xwaynestaticx03 | 05-Jun-2015 13:26
      I actually have retired this deck. Deckbox just said I updated it since I changed what folder it was in,
  • tompytomps | 24-Apr-2014 03:40
    How about Pemmin's Aura? Throw it on something with decent toughness and you can mill + untap a bunch just before your next turn.  Also lets you protect stuff from spot removal.
    • tompytomps | 24-Apr-2014 03:40
      or push a fatty through with flying.
      • xwaynestaticx03 | 24-Apr-2014 04:37
        I was thinking the same thing I just couldn't remember the name of the card. Def in.

        • Greg DeSimone | Edited 24-Apr-2014 12:45
          pemmin's aura is bonkersly good, it was in our infinite mana combo deck.
           
          umbral mantle would also be a good finisher with a creatureform phenax, especially because you can respond to your own ability by pumping and untapping.
          • Your Mother | 24-Apr-2014 13:16
            Any uptap is awesome.  Slagwurm Armor -> mill alot + Crab Umbra -> protection and untap.  I think you'll find you just need large dumb creatures like Wall of Air, Hunted Horror, Drift of Phantasms and and the like.  Slag, Hunted, Crabumbra, attach slag, cast Phen, turn six you can mill for 26+7.  I will bet you will hold nemesis of reason back as a fat blocker and mill at end of turn for 7, instead of attacking for 10mill.
            • xwaynestaticx03 | Edited 24-Apr-2014 13:53
              I'm excited for Eater of the Dead to hit the table

              • Greg DeSimone | 24-Apr-2014 15:46
                hahaha yeah that's a game ender.
              • ivanthehungrier | 24-Apr-2014 19:04
                Congratulations! You've made an previously unplayable, the best card in the deck!
                • xwaynestaticx03 | 24-Apr-2014 20:02
                  I've had that card for probably 20 years and have always wanted to find a use for it. Finally in 2014 they made a combo for the old bastard.



  • ivanthehungrier | 17-Feb-2014 09:08
    Nemesis of Reason twerks
    • Your Mother | 17-Feb-2014 14:38
      That card is not okay to play with.  It's like using a nuke.  It'll open a world of focused douchery the likes of which CNY have never seen.
  • ivanthehungrier | Edited 10-Feb-2014 13:57
    Visions of Beyond seems like a $700 card here.
  • tompytomps | 09-Feb-2014 21:21
    You've got tons of U/B mana symbols in your permanents.  Seems like throwing a few devotion cards in here would give you some good value - Gray Merchant of Asphodel, especially.
    • ivanthehungrier | Edited 09-Feb-2014 22:54
      Geth, Lord of the Vault and Raven Guild Master would be pretty solid + you've got a Thassa for Raven. 
    • xwaynestaticx03 | 10-Feb-2014 02:40
      Gary as we lovingly refer to him is on my "I hate this card" list. Even though it makes sense I refuse to play him. Devotion makes alot of sense, Phenax, God of Deception would be good here.
      • tompytomps | 10-Feb-2014 04:56
        Yeah he's def. annoying.  It's just such a huge swing if you have like 4 devotion or so.  I'd also cut a few other cards here:
        Lurking Informant
        Unsummon
        Mana Leak
        Duress
        I don't think these'll be that effective in EDH.

        • Your Mother | 10-Feb-2014 12:41
          Actually his full name is "Gary from the Ass Hotel", in case you were confused.
  • ivanthehungrier | 08-Nov-2013 20:15
    Haha vexing arcanix?? Is it my turn yet??? Ashiok is such sweet tits! Guess your draft was value town aye!?
    • xwaynestaticx03 | 09-Nov-2013 04:10
      I knew you would appreciate vexing arcanix, I put it in there just for you. Hahaha.
      • ivanthehungrier | 09-Nov-2013 06:53
        Your dirty fuck! Haha
