MBC: Tempo Discard

by SavageTheCabbage on 31 October 2011

Main Deck (61 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

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

Slight redesign to Smallstack with a greater focus developing tempo. I'm typically against running Dark Ritual, but it absolutely kills in this deck and rarely ever results in a dead draw.

I'm taking a more cautious approach to my land base, but I've since realized how utterly brutal Tombstalker can be -- spending my CA or tempo to disrupt my opponent's only further enhances my own tempo by fueling his delve cost. Bumping it to 2x, and may also consider running a third.

Thank you ^-^ Tombstalker is boss, but with this deck I accidentally managed to push him further than I realized he could go.

Have to comment about my first match, post update, vs. Elves.

Opening Hand: Swamp, Swamp, Mox Diamond, Hymn, Dark Ritual, Smallpox, Tombstalker.
Turn 1: (Won first turn) Swamp, Mox (discard Swamp), Hymn (op discards Priest of Titania and Gaea's Cradle)
Turn 2: (Draw Catacomb) Dark Ritual, Smallpox (sac Swamp, discard Catacomb; op sacrifices forest & mana dork, discards Heritage Druid), 2 black mana floating, exile 6 cards from my graveyard, and cast Tombstalker. Good game.

XD By turn 2 I'd caused the opponent to discard 3 cards, sacrifice a creature and a land, and cast a 5/5 flyer.

The rats aren't so much a staple as this is just a redesigned verison of Smallstack

And that game was retarded good XD I kind of want to retire the deck now to preserve the perfect streak :P

HAHAHAHAHA!!! That's awesome man! Totally retire it!

I actually retired my Birthing Pod deck, a couple days before Bpod jumped, so I got to sell/trade them at a higher price than I got them for...7 out of 8 of em. I kept one for EDH :P
