Deck Description

I'm not running more of the better edict effects (chainer's; diabolic) for cost reasons. If price is no object, you might also consider adding crypt rats or another copy of pestilence, either main deck or side board. On MTGO, the total cost of this build was something like $3-4. So far, pretty good results.

How to Play

Remove everything in sight, and lay down a gurmag angler for the win, or burn them out w/ soul burn if it comes to that. I find that you should try to preserve your life total with this deck, as your card draw effects all cost life. You want to be using your life total to draw cards, not letting them ping away at it, so don't be afraid to fire off those removal spells, even at lesser threat.

For sideboarding, you want to take out the edict effects and bring in the doom blades/spellbombs when you're not playing against hexproof or godswilling/apostles blessing. Replace the rend flesh with doom blade if your not playing against black. Electickery and ickspitter come in against tokens, and Relic against any graveyard strategy. Wrecking ball is a nice option against utopia sprawl and tron, or any other deck that's trying some funny business with their mana base.
