[DarthStabber]

Made some updates, put a lot of testing in on this, and the changes have been positive. Still looking to grab a molten psyche, gilded lotus, [card]black sun's zenith[/card], and an anvil of bogardan before an event in 2 weeks.

[Jack]

DS, would you mind taking a look at my Niv list, since the builds seem very similar?

[Jack]

I guess the big difference between the two is that your general is a lot better at abusing wheel effects.

[DarthStabber]

There's more difference than just abusing wheels. I'm intentionally not using more than a couple of wheel effects, partly because my local play group hates out comboish decks quickly, and partly because I'd rather play it as control (incendiary command, teferi's puzzle box, and molten psyche are in due to flexibility, repetition, and raw power respectively, or at least molten psyche will be when i get a hold of one). In addition access to black is huge, the access to better removal is fantastic, and lets me lower the Counterspell count, which makes the deck less annoying, while still having the ability to keep people shut out of play (board wipes are fantastic ca generators). The obvious downside is screwy manabase or expensive manabase, a problem tthat NIV doesn't have to worry about near as much.

[DarthStabber]

Been a while, made some swaps, updating.
