Plague Wind is cheep in dollars if you are ok with the mana cost.

I don't see what's so great about Damnation or even Plague Wing if you aren't playing creatures anyways. Mutilate hits everything, including indestructible stuff. I guess if you really fear regeneration stuff, but that's not very popular in my play circle. On turn 4 or 5, Mutilate is probably going to get rid of everything. Barter in Blood also hits really hard on turn 4, especially after an earlier Innocent Blood or Go For the Throat .

In this deck, Plague Wind and Multiate function virtually the same, especially if I have 9 mana. Mutilate does practically everything Plague Wind does multiple turns earlier and it does everything Damnation does for a quarter of the price. Besides, Tained Aether is going to wreck hell in the deck anyways, you can't even flood the board against a card like that.

As a creture player they are what i think aobut first when I play. Therefore I think about removal of them. You make better and cheeper points tho.

@Sleeping, I think your version of the deck is interesting but doesn't have nearly enough creature removal for a deck with no creatures. I really want to keep Tainted Aether , that card is the whole reason I built this deck. I TOTALLY forgot about Sorin's Vengeance and I should run that over Corrupt . Pretty sure I should run Trinisphere . Turn one Trinisphere through Dark Ritual is very very dirty. It might as well say "for 2 turns, your opponent can't do anything" and by then I should hit one of their lands anyways.

Evincar's Justice and Consume Spirit also function as creature removal, but yeah, it is a little light.

Yeah, but if you use Consume Spirit as removal, you really only have 2 solid win conditions which is a little thin in my opinon. Evincar's Justice is interesting though. Not my type of card, I never really liked buyback. Does anyone love buyback? Your recommendations are very helpful though.

Here's what I'm thinking now:

Land Destruction (12)

4x Rancid Earth
3x Rain of Tears
2x Icequake
2x Blight
1x Strip Mine

Creature Control (10)

3x Innocent Blood
3x Go For The Throat
2x Barter In Blood
2x Mutilate

Win Condition (6)

4x Sorin's Vengeance
2x Consume Spirit

Other (10)

4x Dark Ritual
3x Tainted Aether
2x Phyrexian Arena
1x Trinisphere

Land (22)
 
22x Swamp  

I cut an Icequake , I really didn't want to but I had to make room for Trinisphere (by the way are there any other cards that are similar to Trinisphere?). Would going down to 21 lands be a better option?

Sphere of Resistance , and my favorite, Lodestone Golem .


I also thought of two things that might improve your deck. Lacking many solid turn two plays you might want to play something like Mind Stone . You might also want to play a couple Barren Moor since they can be land when you need them and a card when you don't.


The other thing I thought about is win conditions. You don't have to waste as many spells on win conditions if you throw a couple Mishra's Factory // Urza's Factory // Gargoyle Castle // Zoetic Cavern into your deck. Twisted Abomination is also a pretty reliable finisher (because of the regeneration), and can cycle for a Swamp if you need one. He's probably worse than one of the creature lands though, since you have to spend a turn in order to get a land off of him.

Yeah, Sphere of Reisistance is very good. There are multiple turn two plays I have. Go For The Throat is a common one, as is turn two Dark Ritual into a 4 drop. I really want this to be creatureless if possible.

what would really make this miserable to play against is if leechridden swamp was your win con.
