A 1/1 colorless sliver is shown on screen.Something is really wrong with the slivers in M14....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYDcQnnflw
Like, Subs and Comments would be welcomed....
They should say that "Dude, you are not a real team player."
Two arms instead of one?
"The queen sure let herself go on standards if you know what I mean?" "she needs to stay away from the sexual predators"
The i am a monster thing is just not funny enough.
Dig deep in your FoS mind and go to the gutter.
A red sliver enters, both start running in place with "haste" above their heads. They both smile.
A blue sliver enters, the colorless and red sliver both start hovering in place. "Flying" appears above all three. They smile.
A black sliver enters. The colorless, red and blue slivers all freeze, look down, peek inside their waistline, then cheer and high five each other.
Find a way to name the last one "Magnum Sliver"

...How was that racist?
Sounds awesome though, anyway I was thinking about that bullshit argument from earlier.
Aggro Control.
Dude said delver was the only aggro control deck he could think of... but being a neck beard the Deck that comes to mind when someone says that is:
Machinehead. Tom Van Goughs deck from invasion back in the day. It was like the first time people started using that term. (well actually there was also ponza, but land d, red got fucked on that deal eventuall)
So moving on taking those decks into account, if I look at it right now the deck that jumps out at me as being almost CLASSIC Aggro-control?
Black X Devotion.
It actually plays a whole lot like machine head.
Machine head would go:
turn 1: Duress,
turn 2: Ritual, Phyrexian Scuta or Blazing specter
Follow with a rishadan port for a turn till they can cast honest spells...
like flame-tongue kavu.
The Decks we fight
all the time today really want to go:
Turn 1: thoughtsieze
Turn 2: Packrat... or Turn 2 removal/discard paving the way for Demon. . .
packrat... pact rat..
Having played machine head when Fires and U/W control were the only decks. . . playing monoblack feels incredibly similar.

You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.
Beatdown is hard, though.

Its heavy aggro matchups are all very poor, but everyone is playing elves, delver variants, sneak and show, storm or D&T which I can beat. They're not absurdly favourable or anything (well, S&S is) but they're winnable and you attack from an angle that they're often not ready for.

I wanted more coloured sources and there has been a move towards more people playing PWs; Creeping Tar Pit pressures walkers much better.

Earlier versions featured 1x Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and two artifact lands to have a more aggressive sideboard plan, but it was more cute and less reliable than just relying on ulting Jace.

That was with two less basics in the main, I don't mean I sideboarded in two extra lands as well.

I don't think this is a very popular archetype, UBx decks typically run a LOT more creatures so Deluge isn't good ~ in this deck it is very good. People are playing decks full of x/1s and x/2s now so it is just amazing. If RUG delver wasn't a deck you would run Drown in sorrow, but sometimes you need to kill a bigger Goyf.

Hopefully you don't mind my use of Jaya Ballard quotes lol.They seemed to fit what I was going for.So still a better version of everything else? Well done.I now write for mtgcanada.com. First article should come out tomorrow. Working hard on becoming a less successful version of Zem lol.
I think I'm going to rework my article for GP: Nagoya for GP: Kobe and use that as well.
