2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
1 Forest
4 Island
i went 2-2 loosing to satanic slight twice and winning with omnichord and ub teferi
two lost was mainly due to lack of bottle gnomes in sd and not having goyfs
this week i will try it again with little diffrents:
SB: 4 Bottle Gnomes
SB: 3 TormondÂ´s Crypt
SB: 2 Riptide Pilferer
SB: 3 Terror
SB: 3 Krosan Grip
2 Tarmogoyf
2 Loxodon Warhammer
4 Think Twice
4 Rune Snag
1 Slaughter Pact
2 Darkblast
2 Last Gasp
4 Spell Snare
4 Remand
3 Repeal
2 Voidmage Prodigy
4 Quirion Dryad
4 Dark Confidant
2 Overgrown Tomb
2 Breeding Pool
2 Watery Grave
2 Yavimaya Coast
2 Llanowar Wastes
2 Underground River
3 Swamp
2 Forest
5 Island
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth wasnÂ´t good choice cause of magus of the moon and cause "strip mine" effect i was escpecting wasnÂ´t needed at all
Tarmogoyf: have only 2 Sad

... hope it will do itÂ´s job for the money i payd Smile

...iÂ´m sure they will
Darkblast: superior againts fanatics, confidant... etc
Also i found out that solid mana base means enough basic lands Smile

Lat Gasp: like this card againts various of treetop villages and mugus of the moon and so on...sometimes paying for pact was an issue

do u have any sugestion with this deck? (again the price of goyfs is an issue for me...if not for everybody i know and who didnÂ´t buy those for price of 2 euros from the start)

what do u think about this deck after confidants and other stuff rotates out? is it still viable, even as more controlish deck?
fire on!!!

when rotation happens the deck will lose its duals, confidant, AND remand which are all big hits to it, so it will either have to go down to 2 colors, or get a total overhaul.

I dont really like the repeal, because it can get expensive for the good stuff. i would replace them with a more permanent kill card

There is the Shadowmage Infiltrator? I really think that you should run Shadowmage Infiltrator and Dark Confidant. Also you really need 4 Slaughter Pact and 4 Terror. Also 4 Goyf is key to makin' it work. QD is great but you really only need two Green cards to make it work 'Goyf and QD. All of the other cards need to be UB aggro-control cards. Also if you are having an issue with Rakdos add one more Warhammer. A hammer holding QD. 'Goyf, or Finkle should seal the deal for you.

This is ant900's list from another post. I think that is very solid though we differ on some card choices. You should really look at this list it is very good.
