UB Nightmare (Suggestions?)

by maleficus on 16 July 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (7)

Instants (4)


Enchantments (4)

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

Something I thought up while trying to improve my old Nightmare Effect deck and reading the 'Heartstill' primer on MTGS. Needs some testing to warrant whether Volrath's Shapeshifter is any kind of replacement for the creatures normally in the deck...

Looking for help as to the sideboard to begin with; not much of a matchup against *Still decks, Lands, or Enchantress atm.

Deck discussion for UB Nightmare (Suggestions?)

If you're having trouble with decks like Lands, there's nothing better against them than Mental Misstep. It's one of the few decks that was hurt as bad as it was by that card, and Enchantress is difficult to deal with unless you're willing to go BUG.

I like the idea of this, and Volrath's Shapeshifter is definitely something I have to look into.

Hah, just realized that Intuition and Buried Alive are slightly redundant in the deck (goldfished a few games) so I might have more wiggle-room than I initially thought.

I'll give Mental Misstep a shot; probably -3 Buried Alive, +1 Intuition, -1 Cabal, +3 Mental Misstep? Feels like it might set this deck's early game into overkill between the discard and MM...

Yeah that sounds about right. I'm always torn though when choosing between Intuition and Buried Alive with builds like this, they both offer so much.

Also, have you considered Inkwell Leviathan? From what I can gather it'd be pretty great with the Shapeshifter.

Seems like a good piece of tech, but what would I cut for it? I don't feel comfortable cutting down on the protection/disruption any more than I need to, and the rest of the setup is fairly fragile at the amount I've already snipped it...

Lol registered here just now…I'm Eminem back on MTGS and I'm just glad that someone likes my idea for HeartStill with the shapeshifters. Thanks!

Actually I've been working with Shifty Doppelganger and it works better in my opinion as you can then use cards like the Colossuses and Progenitus.

My meta's a bit testy with removal and stifles, so I'm hesitant to add the Shifty ones... I haven't gotten the cards I need in the mail yet (and I'm still going to need to proxy Intuition for a while), but I've got a couple of them laying around to test with. Thanks for the suggestion!
