Seriously, a perfect deck for Liliana, all of the mill and GY creatures in blue (Mirror-Mad Phantasm, Skaab Reanimator, hell, even Civilized Scholar), and huge fatties like Sphinx, Sheoldred, Elesh Norn, even Phyrexian Obliterator. Or you could go G/W/B with the new dual lands that would support that sort of color combo and put some ramp like birds, pilgrim, etc in to ramp you into a faster unburial rites or just straight into your huge fatties. I really want more of this card, AND it's an uncommon so hopefully it'll be cheap before it blows up into a standard deck. | ||

I think esper is the way to go since you get the new impulse with flashback too. Seems like it could be decent. You also get vision of beyond which would probably be really good in the deck. Also, I wouldn't play skaab ruinator as you would have to rfg unburial targets. | ||

Well yeah, but there's no tutors for Unburial Rites (revealed yet) so if you end up not having it in your opening hand and not drawing or milling it in the first few turns, it's a good backup plan. | ||

I guess we just have completley different idea for the deck. I was thinking something more controlling like : + Show Spoiler + 25 Land 3 Vision of Beyond 4 Mana Leak 3 Dismember 2 Day of Judgement 4 Forbidden Alchemy 3 Unburial Rites 4 Snapcaster Mage 6 Big Creatures 4 Liliana of the Veil 2 Gideon I don't think going for a fast reanimate is a good idea. The cards are just too slow. Early game just control, play PWs, use alchemy to fill GY, then lategame reanimate finisher. 6 creatures is actually probably too many. | ||

Well here's the thing: you still need plays for the first few turns to protect your liliana and your life total from aggro vampires/werewolfs (both have some very powerful low drops) and other aggro decks like illusions. I'd at least put in some looting creatures or azure mages that can chump in a pinch and Skaab ruinator to be, if nothing else, a blocker early that prevents you from dying. Either that or more black removal (doom blades, go for the throat, etc) that you can also flashback with Snapcaster Mage. Also I'd run at least 3 Sheoldreds as fatties, she can bring back all your other stuff too. | ||

4x Phantasmal Bear 4x Phantasmal Image 4x Phantasmal Dragon 4x Lord of the Unreal 4x Grand Architect 22x Island 4x Mana Leak 3x Ponder 2x Gitaxian Probe 2x Wurmcoil Engine 3x Disperse 1x Caged Sun 3x Unified Will Sideboard: 4x Flashfreeze 4x Dismember 2x Azure Mage 1x Mindslaver 2x Treasure Mage 2x Torpor Orb So first FNM tonight. Really pissed at myself for going 2-2 drop when I could have easily gone 4-1 (still out of top 8, I had shit tiebreaks). I basically made a misplay I'd never make on modo and straight up forgot you can't Frost Breath after attackers were declared >< Played around it instead of killing him then paid for it (it was the mirror for what it's worth). I lost to mono red goblins and beat a pump infect deck and some random deck with a lot of fliers. General thoughts on the deck: Most often dead cards in my hand are Phantasmal Dragons. Sure they're good, but only if you have a lord in play and only if you can actually spare 4 mana, which you usually can't. You can't even cheat with GA on them. They might be better with fetchlands or something, as getting mana screwed and flooded alternately was a real problem. I chalk that mostly to luck though, this deck is perfectly capable of winning with 2 lands in play and the right hand (and I did so...more than once), but it's one that doesn't want to draw 5 in a row even moreso than others. Caged Sun was a non-factor as I never drew it (well, except for the final turn against goblins where it was Wurmcoil or dead...except he had grenade in hand anyway). but I traded a Skithiryx and Dragonskull Summit for a Metamorph and replaced it post tourney anyway. I'm not convinced the Tempered Steel matchup is even winnable. Dismember is not the removal you want to be using, and you can't block the signal pests/ornithopters/vault skirges till turn 4 at earliest, and by then you're probably dead even with a dragon out. The only hope you have is for them to have a very slow draw and you a very fast one, or at least a very fast wurmcoil engine. Same can be said for mono-red, but due to the lack of fliers, you can keep throwing out lords and bears for them to waste burn spells or attackers on. Your only real hope is to just stick a wurmcoil before they kill you or you just die. There were a TON of the above decks at the tourney, and even if I had stayed in, I'd probably have to beat at least one of them for top 8. My sideboarding against Goblins: + Show Spoiler + -3 Unified Will -4 Phantasmal Dragon -1 Caged Sun -3 Disperse +2 Treasure Mage +2 Azure Mage +4 Flashfreeze +3 Dismember Dunno if it's right, other than the Dismembers coming in against the Illusions mirror, I didn't need any other sideboarding (the infect deck fizzled so hard in both games, I didn't know what it was till late game 2). | ||

EDIT: Vapor Snag is another thing that might help you agaisnt TSteel if you don't want to spend the 4 life. I'd suggest keeping atleast 2 for titans in other matchups though. Also I'd say cut the mindslaver for the 3rd WCE in the board. Might help a bit in our aggro heavy format. Also I played the infect guy and laughed as I turn 2'd melira both games. It made me giggle so hard. | ||

Also with strong removal with Oring, dismember, and day. even opens you to timely reinforcements and Gideon. And the new set is pumping out some strong Humans to support these cards. IDK, currently the only real good tribal human card is Champion of the Parish. I don't think that's enough to make it worth it yet. | ||

I went 4-1-1 (guy offered draw and I took it!)! Made top 8 at my first constructed tournament! Tired as fuck, will post deck list. It was mono white hahahaha. When you guys read the decklist you will wonder how in the fuck I won, and I will continue to wonder with you (and everyone else at the tournament). Battle report coming tomorrow morning. I won a fat pack of Innistrad, so no force of wills for me QQ | ||

I am going to start heading that way when the new set hits and hope more human tribe cards come. I already have alot of the big hitters from the knights deck i was playing, and with exemplar leaving i guess ill just go humans. | ||
