Hi Nerddude345,

You like having fun with enchantments? Me too.

So where is your Argothian Enchantress and Aura Gnarlid?

Second Sunrise probably is better than Open the Vaults especially if you play with some one sided graveyard removal like Relic of Progenitus.

I know you like to play with 65 cards, but all the math wizards say 60 cards is best. If you really want to improve the deck cut to 60. If your fear being decked play Gaea's Blessing.

May you always make your own luck.

Thought I'd suggest a card for sideboard and maybe in even main board. Since your deck is built around sacrifice why not add
Diabolic Intent
Sorcery, 1B (2)
As an additional cost to cast Diabolic Intent, sacrifice a creature.
Search your library for a card and put that card into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

Diabolic Intent could be handy to help you find just the right card to ruin your opponent.
Sure Vampiric Tutor will do it quicker and Demonic Tutor you don't need to sacrifice but Demonic Intent just seems to fit the deck theme so nicely.

I'm I'm bested how low cost this is and yet looks like it can hold its own in a casual game.

Hey ManiacalManiac,
Oooooo! Forgot Volrath's is Legendary. Take out 1 Volrath's put in 1 Swamp.

Hi Logazor,

Your 1 word suggestion lacks clarity.
I seriously doubt you are recommending

Urborg
Legendary Land
{T}: Add {B} to your mana pool.
{T}: Target creature loses first strike or swampwalk until end of turn.

or

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth English
Legendary Land
Each land is a Swamp in addition to its other land types.

but your suggestion did set my mind to racing what is the best land in Legacy?
I suddenly I remembered

Volrath's Stronghold English
Legendary Land
{T}: Add {1} to your mana pool.

{1}{B}, {T}: Put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library.

Have added 3 Volrath's Stronghold and taken out 3 Cabal Coffers

Hi ManiacalManiac,

Took a look at your deck. Yeah your deck is nice with all those vintage cards (Vampiric Tutor, Sol Ring, Mind Twist, etc...) but I'm trying to keep this deck Legacy legal. The Night Howler is very interesting I wasn't familiar with it. It might help Hypnotic Specter survive for a few hits.

Took out 1 Liliana of the Veil and put in 1 Liliana Vess. Long Live Liliana!!!

So out go Daze in go Path to Exile

Hi Trollking21,

Yeah your deck is a lot like mine. The main difference is your deck has fewer Supreme Verdict (1) and relies more on Terminus. Your deck did get me to thinking maybe I should change the number of Dazes to 2 and add 2 Counter Spell. I also have entertained that thought of replacing Daze with Path to Exile what do you think is it a good idea?

If you haven't been playing since Ice Age and collected and traded for a lot good cards like I have feel free to proxy.

Hey ManiacalManiac,
Thanks for the input. Have switch in Extirpate. But I don't think split second will do what you say it does to a Counterspell cast from hand.

Oracle rulings
6/7/2013 Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.

but
6/7/2013 If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can't be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.

Your idea of Sewer Nemesis is interesting will have to play test. Remember TrollKing and Roar both shot down Desecration Demon as being too slow even though it only cost four mana (2BB) and Sewer Nemesis also costs almost the same (3B). What do you think do you think 4 mana is too much for a creature in a deck with 4 Dark Ritual and 4 Cabal Coffers and 16 Swamp in a Legacy Duel?

Oops your right trollking Rishandan can target basic lands.
Should of said Blood Moon and other nonbasic land hatred.

Hi Pence,

Thanks for the comment.

Gave quite of bit of thought to including both Shrieking Affliction and lilanas caress and I choose card flow over damage. This deck just doesn't cause the opponent to discard enough cards like a bloodchief ascension/mindcrank deck does. The discard in this deck is to help get out big fast creatures and hopefully help keep them alive until they do enough damage to kill the opponent.

Roar I agree vindicate is a great card, but I am deliberately keeping this deck all black lands so as to avoid nonbasic land destruction from Wastes lands, Rishandan Port, etc...

Hero's Downfall isn't too slow with 4 Dark Rituals in the deck.

Originally I had 4 Tombstalkers in the deck, but thought Desecration Demon would be ok with 4 dark rituals and 4 cabal coffers in the deck. But probably you and Trollking are right it may be to slow and I think may of found the solution play 4 gravecrawler and 4 lifebane zombie in main deck.

Hi Trollking21,

I agree Phyrexian arena is superior to underworld connections

Cabal Therapy is in the deck because it combos with well with Thoughtseize

I did think of putting in Bloodghast, or Reassembling Skeleton, Brood of Cockroaches, Endless Cockroaches and Black cat but decided against it. Originally I had 4 Tombstalkers in the deck, but thought Desecration Demon would be ok with 4 dark rituals and 4 cabal coffers in the deck. But probably you and Roar are right it may be to slow and I think may of found the solution play 4 gravecrawler and 4 lifebane zombie in main deck.

Originally I had in Doom Blades instead of surgical extraction. Guess I could go back to the way it was but instead think I'll cutting Bile Blight for Doom Blades.

Hmmm, the link you posted doesn't show anything may be you should delete this comment?

Very nice intro article for player's new to magic. If you ever may another article may be focus on how deck should support a creating winning condition and for tournament player's the importance of meta-gaming and how to go about creating an effective sideboard for your deck.

Hey Logazor,

I like most of your deck, but I've never been able to use The Rack successfully since they banned Black Vise.
The Rack was really was fun when paired with Black Vise.
I complement you on use of Bottomless Pit it is a great budget substitute for Liliana of the Veil.

If money and deck legality is not object check out my
my http://www.mtgvault.com/planestalker/decks/discard-kill-deck/

But since you're on a budget and probably want a legal deck please check out my Legacy budget discard deck.

Pence I think you may be right. Out go Doom Blades in go Surgical Extractions.
I also thought really long and hard about including Duress into main board and/or sideboard.
If BUG and RUG and Delver Decks continue to dominate Legacy I think your right main boarding Surgical Extraction
and even adding Duress does make a lot of sense. And when Waste Not is legal. I'll not be surprised if there will be some decks that look like this

4 Waste Not
4 Thoughtseize
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Dark Ritual
4 Pox!!!!
3 Liliana of the Veil
1 Tombstone Stalker or 1 Desecration Demon
4 Enlightened Tutor
2 Damnation
2 Ensnaring Bridge
12 Swamp
4 Isolated Chapel
4 Cabal Coffers or 4 Wasteland
