Ok, it's not that bad, but i was so hyped and so excited about this deck, that i want to win with it, but yeah, only get wins is impossible. Today, everyone play this deck or the counterdecks, it's better to wait a bit until everything get back to normal.

I think the real question here is how many holes can one truly punch into a monitor? I feel like after the first one, you're probably done punching holes in it. Of course, trying to play against MM with a broken monitor would definitely cause some frustration for anybody....




Maybe he meant Phyrexian Monitor ? It has Regenerate, so you can punch all you want.

Chancellor of the Spires is one of the worst cards in the deck. With only two of them, you are almost never going to get one in your starting hand. If you do get it in your starting hand, it will just sit there. If you get to cast it, it will get burned immediately.

Well played Sean.  

Enpyrial ArchAngel may be the best creature in this deck, tied maybe with Progenitus.  It's fair to say that your opponent is holding removal for the few creatures you do have for finishers, so protection, or shroud are the best way to counter it.

Also, the deck is really good before the first unlock, so its best not to be tempted with altering it's magic ramp/card draw formula.  

Wow, this deck blows all the others out of the water in 2hg.  Hard to win without it anymore really.  It also blasts artifacts and enchantments with prenicious deed, maelstrom pulse, and Vindicate.  How many decks can win with instants/sorceries?

I have always been impressed by how the designers maintained a delicate balance of power in Duels.  It's obvious they knew exactly what they were doing when they added this deck, so my thoughts are:  Are they giving the fans a "golden egg" or waiting to see how the meta evolves?  

I, for one am going with control resistant creatures like Mitotic Slime, or enchantments like Indestructability.  I have to look through my decks with new insight, and see what can be done about all this.  

Maybe it's time to bring out the old OD/BoF combo for 2hg.. Exsanguinates, burn, Underworld Dreams, Innocent blood, all look useful.   MM doesn't really come with any life-gain after all.

GP is a great counter to this deck. Castigate removes from hand, Liege removes from board, Pillory locks down fattys, Falconrath loves board wipe, Debtors'.... well, if it sticks is wonderous.

Did I mention Unmake has a thing for Progenitus ?

Umm, no targetting?  I didn't think you could target Progenitus with anything.

Of all things, Death is least permanent.

Is the game coded wrong?  Unmake can't target Progenitus.
