This deck doesn't have anger in it, so what would be the point of Rofellos? He is good because of anger. With anger, your opponent can kill him right away and you'd still get to tap him for mana.

But the deck isn't green-based, and needs to be for optimal use of survival.

I don't see it's usefulness at all, outside of wishing for a belcher and saccing an led in response.

Also, if belcher was put in the sideboard for it, spoils would kill much more often with only...

You can't rape control's hand if they counter your land grant, because you won't have a permanent mana source, so you won't have consistent black mana to cast discard. Land really helps this deck,...

but sometimes you want the red for a welder or gamble, if you play gamble. To figure out which land to fetch, you should look at your hand overall and form a plan of playing cards before you play...

I don't think brainstorm has any place in a deck where you are likely only searching for one specific card in the deck. I believe gamble is better, because it gets you the card when you need it. ...

no. I fully believe this deck is easily hateable, and thus will not be a huge concern. I don't think we will face a combo winter, not even close.

actually, i found lotus petal to be one of the stronger accelerants in the deck, getting you any one of the three colors in the deck.

I'm phil!

Ya, kinda late for that, I know.

artowis, have you modified your list any? I found the original one to not be that great, but that was often just because the xantid swarms were bad. I use duress because it can grab a null rod,...

I definately think belcher will be a force when it is optimized. I have found the biggest problem thus far for my build is either

a) having starting mana. stuff like lotus petal, land grant, and...

I just bought a good portion of the deck on cardshark. Has anyone optimized the deck any more? any new ideas, or cuts from the deck?

I don't think it is popular enough of a deck to be in the evr. This deck is probably good, ill give you that. But it doesn't seem widespread enough to be in the evr.

Some people can't afford bazaars. In case you haven't checked, they run about 100 dollars apiece. Just so you know.
