The thing about Emrakul is that he can't be used as a draw engine to feed storm. Sure he can come in and swing for 15 but on first turn what are you typically annhiliating? A land and a creature most of the time. Griselbrand isn't there to swing for 7. He is there to draw 21 cards and then storm out. Or just rites of consumption. I looked at tin fins lists and I like my list better. I find it personally more accessable to the first turn win because I have more consistancy in mana manipulation.

This is bad and you should feel bad. Learn to play magic, troll.
I like it. I've wanted to build an enchantress deck myself but I was thinking just mono green since my friend has mono white. There is an old enchantment, the name escapes me at the moment but for (w) it is enchanted creatures gains protection from the color of your choice. Then for (w) return enchantment to your hand. It is a crazy draw mechanic in enchantress so you might want to look into it.
I'm a huge fan of thrill-kill assassin.
Unless you play steamflogger boss. Autowin.
Closet is pretty amazing, I will have to agree with that gentleman.
You could use piledrivers, full set of chieftans, lose the warchiefs. Goblins was my first tourney deck. I've since gone to goblin bidding but I also play goblin pod for fun. You can check out either of those deck lists if you'd like.
Why do I get the feeling that someone looked at my deck, turned it blue and called it tin fins? :( Its a stupid name.I guess that is what I get for bringing it to a legacy tourney and having sets done in 5 minutes. Check it out though, here is the scoop. There is one card that will absolutely shut this deck down as it does mine and I'm trying to think of a sideboard to help with it. That card is called surgical extraction. Removing Griselbrand absolutely shuts down my deck, I don't know about Tin Fins.
Thanks. I should eventually throw together a sideboard for it.
You either entomb or cabal therapy him to the grave, pull him out with shallow grave or goryo's and he has haste. Attack, You have 27 cards now. Draw 21. Storm.
Ardent Plea is really good with this sort of deck. As long as you set yourself up to trigger the cascade with another exalted creature.
Deathtouch makes me happy.
I love sneak attack decks. I plan on building another soon but I have never played sneak and show so I might give it a whirl. Great from what I can see. I prefer blightsteel colossus over Emrakul but to each their own. As far as cheap reanimator goes. Here you go. Took a local tourney with it a couple months ago. Not $150 but also not $1500. Pretty reliable 1st or 2nd turn wins. http://www.mtgvault.com/uberrando/decks/1st-turn-griselbrand-win/
Phyrexian Dreadnought, friend.
Yes, but then Darien gives me a creature for each point of damage and then soul sisters gives me 1 life for each creature to ETB.
Its not a reanimator really. There is also no good madness cards in this color set. What I wanted it to do was just disadvantage everyone. Since I would lose my hand in the process of casting the general.
New list is up.
Also the sideboard still isn't finished because I haven't tested it out thoroughly enough yet.
So the update is in to how it is working better. I played a lot of games against UW control where the only way I could win was to for lack of a better term, riot. BR had no way to deal with o-ring, detention sphere, etc. So what is my remedy? Be too aggressive to control. Throw out too many creatures. For that reason alone the disciple of bolas stays and sign in blood was put in mainboard. I also dropped the FA and added another Olivia and Rakdos for consistency.
Tomorrow is going to be the big test day. I haven't had a chance to test it out thoroughly yet to make decisions on what gets cut from here. I like versatility in my decks but at the same time I realize that sometimes it also takes away from its consistency. The Legend thing also makes me not want to put more than 2 of either of Olivia and Rakdos in. If I was going to cut anything it would probably be the aristocrat out of the three. Hell Rider stays because he is Rakdos fuel. Automatic 1 damage for each attacking creature guarantees Rakdos can come out. I haven't been able to play with DoB enough to say whether it is good or not but the essence harvest so far has been lacking so you're right there. I might take the EH and FA out tomorrow after testing for something in the sideboard section to see how it plays out but for now it is all test play pending.
