Deck Description

So this deck revolves largely around Phyrexian Obliterator and is also largely based on control via creature removal..

I've also felt like throwing in a few Mindslavers, because I honestly love the idea of forcing my opponent to attack just so I can block with my Obliterators and proceed in wrecking their lands. I can also crack their Tectonic Edges to wreck their own lands as well, so the idea with that is to leave them with nothing to defend with for my second swing.

This deck is somewhat experimental for me though, and I'm not sure if other people have done it because I don't keep up on the latest deck builds.

As usual suggestions and opinions are welcome! :3

Edit: I also need help with my side board, all I have are Hex Parasites and Doom Blade o.o\

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I also feel its worth mentioning that I have a lot of plans for this deck when Zendikar rotates out of T2, however many of them are ruled out of the current build due to faster cards being available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mindslaver isn't as effective as I hoped.. I'll probably attempt that one again when Zendikar rotates out, just because of the slowdown. I edited this deck last night, but I didn't update here that I did. Although when I do update the deck for the T2 slowdown it'll be in a new deck completely (as I should have here) but other than that, I have nothing to say. Doctor Who is awesome.. That is all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ehh the mana curve is a little wonky, no turn 2 move meaning if I don't have anything to protect myself, I'm stuck for 3 turns till I can drop Nighthawk. I'm hoping that either Hexmage or Nantuko Shade could aid me in this arena. I'll probably drop an Extraction or two and a Haunting Echoes. Or maybe I'll drop Haunting Echoes all together when I fight aggro, a 5 cost spell isn't much use in that situation huh? I'm also gonna drop Doom Blade completely from my sideboard and put in 3 Dismembers instead.

Although I like Blood Seeker I think Pulse Tracker will be better for the deck because it's a fantastic turn 1 drop and can either start adding up the chip damage or force them to deal with the creature itself. I mean, if it swings they'll take 1 damage no matter what.

I'd worry that the mind slaver will never see play and remain a dead draw with only 20 lands in the deck, possibly consider Crypt of Agadeem? More land maybe?

Yeah, the Mindslaver is a bit costly. I already have looked into the Crypt and I'll probably throw a few in the sideboard so I can experiment with it. I'm gonna test this deck out tonight assuming I can get what I don't already have.. I actually have a lot of plans for this deck with Zendikar rotates from T2!
