No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

b/u affinity using painsmith
master trasmuter to cycle artifacts to abuse painsmiths ability
primarely cheap artifacts to get out quickly to use painsmith aswell as tez final ability
thopter assembly is nice on its own but creating 5 artifacts will help tez's ability alot
platinum angel in their can easily be swapped for a Memnite via master transmuter
some control with into the roil along with a card draw
preodrain to make sure you get what you want

I am open to thoughts and suggestions comments are much appreciated:)

Deck discussion for Affinity for Pain

remove the preordain for thoughtcast
i would tend not to bother with the counters in legacy in favour of speed, but try counterspell over stoic rebuttal
cranial plating is needed for any affinity deck except in very rare cases
i would remove signal pests for shield spheres personally for the added defense since this is a relatively slow affinity (i think) and it costs 0 mana
i would worry a counterbalance or storm deck would render your combos useless by time you get to play your transmuter, but dont know without testing
oh and by any chance was the basis of this deck from one of mine? just curious i dont really mind either way
hope this helps

yeah originally I had them in because i thought returning the artifact land so I could play it again to boost pain smith, but lands dont count as spells so yeah I will look into the other dual lands

so the only other b/u land I can find is Jwar Isle Refuge and I dont think that would be very useful, is their another land I'm overlooking?

nah I did a booster draft with my girlfriend and I drew 2 tezzerets(LOL) and I made a affinity deck to play in the draft, after that I sold them sence Id much rather have 100 dollars than 2 pieces of cardboard and that was the end of it, but I might make this deck and just print out tez sence I dont compete i just play casual anyhow. but yeah thank you for the advice I will be modifying it now
