UGB Recur

[CUB3X]

The deck is three colors. Blue, Green, and Black. You can pretty much assume the role of each color in here. If you can get out a Recurring Nightmare you will pretty much be guaranteed to have the upper-hand. Please note that I am not restricted by any banned cards. I also do not plan on using any type of duals or shock-lands. This is relatively low-budget.Here is the decklist:

Here are some cards that could find a place in the deck:

Quirion Dryad
Yavimaya Dryad
Yavimaya Elder
Crop Rotation
Harrow

However, I do not know what to cut yet. No card has disappointed me enough to get rid of yet. Please share your insight. Thanks.

Since you probably want that recurring nightmare out why not put in enlightened tutor?  Also im not big on the artifact lands, do you have something in there i dont see that needs them?  If not just use the basic version, this is also better because you have disk and deed which either one being popped would destroy some lands if they are in play.  Just a few thoughts.

well, at a first glimpse:

- orhan viper better than ophidian.
- morphling isnt that good, specially in a tri-colored deck
- sol ring and jitte are banned in our banned list (for more on this check this topic -> http://www.magicplayer.org/forum/index.php?topic=2.0) -> even though you pointed that in the intro..
- no life from the loam? (+ cephalid coliseum, cycle lands?)
- you should have grave hate like phyrexian furnace or tormod crypt which can be tutored via trinket mage.
-  30 lands (i hope i counted this right) seems too low for this deck. specially because of cards like stalking stones and maze of ith... whic arent mana (colored) producing lands. perhaps add more lands or artefacts producing (signet, talismans)
- yes to crop rotation. great card.
- no garruk? no goyf? (not budgets cards i know)
- faerie trickery/forbid/dissipate -> better than cancel
- worldly tutor might be a good card in that deck too.
- i think you can have better removal -> terror and expunge not that great.. (bone shredder instead?)

well, hope it helps


as for the enlightened tutor, great tutor, but this is a URG deck, so its normal he doesnt run it.

edited: dou you play 100 cards? in this forum we play by the 100 card minimum. check out the rules section.

DOH! I guess thats what I get for not reading.  if you do plan on using the lftl engine and your not going by the banned list use strip mine, its much cheaper to get.



Also are you counting the multiple basic lands myth.
