I don't have a lot of information on this deck yet, it's only been through 1 round with Slaver - went 1-1. Thank you Extirpate. Smile

Any advice would be helpful, especially with SB - I don't know much about the meta in MYOS. I don't even know how much of a meta there is.

I would say that you should use 5th as your core set. The disk is to hard to pass up! I would even cut one Damnation from the main deck for it. I was working on a URg TRON deck and I used 5th as my base set and WOW is disk good in the format! It kills everything but lands.

Just think of the game state. You pop a disk vs a midrange deck and you have lots of storage counters ( or TRON in my case ).

The best thing about disk is it gives you a way out vs powerful enchantments like Sap. Burst, Bitterblossom, Wake, and Mesa. So why would would you pick 6th over 5th?

If the only thing you use invasion block for is FoF why not just drop it for Lorwyn? You get Cryptic Command, Bitterblossom, and mutavault, all of which would be awesome in your deck.

While FOF is nuts, you could use Ice Age for Force of Will, Brainstorm, Dismiss, and others

Teachings also would be good to tutor for the Forbid lockdown while you beatdown with Tombstalker from the air!

Teachings is a shuffle effect for a late Brainstorm as well so I would def look at that as well.

What about 'Tog flashed in at EOT for the win?

Well I'm not a mod ZW but that should be handled over pm and not a thread. Please player to player keep the posts on topic. I love moys and want to help the format.

If you're keeping Invasion Block, why not Undermine? To me Undermine is way better than Power Sink.

*edit* AK not in invasion, whoopsy

I think 4 damnation main is too much, and like others pointed disk would help a lot from 5th, but then you lose chill wich is an awesome sb option (replace with hydroblast). (you can get disk + academy ruins ). Invasion is not helping that much, as fof is awesome but a bit slow, you need more early game removal-counters (contagion, fow), as power sink is a somewhat inferior option.

In the SB, you want trickbind for Dragonstorm, and some way to gain life. A pact or 2 maindeck would be fine. Extirparte while good, is not that helpful against survival and dredge as tormod's crypt.

About the meta, the deck(main) seems especially weak against faeries, rdw, goblin, dragonstorm, armageddon-decks, so that's where your sb should focus.
