well the draw ability is there and important, but it is another card to target the Lash equiped creature, so in many likely secerios, I'm attacking with a glis elf equiped with the livewire lash .... its a 3/1 and gets chumpblocked by a spirit token or a snapcaster mage, I use twised image on my elf and draw a card give my opponent 2 poison counters and keep my creature alive. it happens more than you think

this deck is about 5 cards off my deck I made on release day... I'm flattered

fantastic deck!, this should become popular once modern really takes off imo.

my favorite alltime Iso target is Word of Command. everyone has a playset of those lyin around right?

well, if you drop isochron you should also probably drop silence, and maybe the best cards to replace those would be; mana leak, mark of asylum, spell peirce... basicly cards to protect your combo (which is part of the purpose of the isochron/silence) as for lands, these lands really aren't too pricy but evolving wilds and senjiri refuge might work in their stead (obvioulsy not as well).

thank you for the compliment, saying you want to use this deck. good luck to ya with it.

BSZ used to be in the deck, but I discovered that opponent is just as dead if I deck them or do a bunch of dmg to them. so I decided to keep the one that is more helpfull if I don't have the combo online, and that is the arbalest.... arbalest and a puresight merrow = 2 dmg for each mana available

unholy strength should be replaced with Darksteel Axe for an additional Lich counter target imo

I think P Lich is the most underrated creature of the set, and this is a great deck to highlight him.

I like Puresteel Pali, in particular with heavy arbalest you might wanna check that out. you also have alot of options to persue with the backbone of your deck being obliterator and pali... dispatch might be a better option than doom blade and GFTT since you have so many artifacts. looks like a fun deck though

two different ways basicly,

1. Puresight Merrow with a paradise mantle on it and a Judge of Currents in play. tap the merrrow for one blue mana, use the blue mana for the untap ability, rinse and repeat. an extra bonus to this combo is it allows you to flip thru your whole deck if needed to pick up whatever you need to finish the kill, and in the mean time you have a billion life

2. Pili-Pala and Grand architect gives infinite mana allowing you to play the rest of your hand that will create infinite damage if you have an arbalest or a fabricate to pull an arbalest.

haha, I've always been fond of the quote "To Infinity and Beyond" I'll use that

I also like the following phrases: I'm the most Modest guy I know.... All Generalizations are bad...

thats the second time someone told me I should use Mana Leak instead, I'm thinkin that you guys are probably right. however the reason I haven't changed it is because I hope to have an Isochron scepter in play with a silence on it early on if I havn't already landed one of my combos. if that is the case then the most usefull couterspell to have is Negate. Echoing truth is a good idea and I will look to pick some up for this deck. thank you for the imput :)

its funny that I see this deck now, 4 days after I ordered the last Gilder Bairns and Paradise Mantles Trolladntoad.com had in stock.... great minds think alike?

I always like a side of Blightsteel when I serve Forgemaster

great idea, but instead I tossed in a couple fabricates so I have the option of pullin Arbalest OR Pili-Pala (the two extra mana is a bummer but I don't think it would be too much of an issue if all I am needin is the arbalest.

no prob man, will do

this is better than my lame attempt at extraction that made the upcoming page, though I see you did take some ideas from it yours has a much better chance of doing what is needed from extraction.

I'm a big fan of the haunting echoes/ archive trap combo so that would be my only advice

I also meant to say that all those ideas are just my personal preference and your deck is pretty good lookin just as is.

Its an origional idea and I like that, I would replace mindstone with ley druid so you can untap your locus and use it again, for that matter I might include overgrowth too, maybe one Birds of paradise for a second turn GSZ option. green mana ramp just has so many options and then you add locuses to the mix and its manapalooza!

I don't need to be on anyones bad list, but there is no reason for your overreaction. I was just teasin ya with my last comment, when you had your conversation with those other guys you were right, but you were kind of caustic about it.

the Puresight Merrow works similarly to a tutor to find whatever it is that I need, in addition ponder should help.
