Sygg, River Cuttthoat. UB Control

4x Cursecatcher
4x Sygg, River Cuttthroat
4x Smolder Initiate
4x Painter's Servant
4x Agony Warp
4x CounterSquall
4x Cryptic Command
4x Mulldrifter
4x Ponder

24 UB Lands

Idea:
I've always wanted to play an initiate + Servant Deck and Sygg gave me a reason too!

Draw a lot of cards and get +1 damage in for +1 mana! Countersquall now reads:
1UB
Counter target noncreature spell. Its controller loses 3 life. At EOT draw a card.

sygg challenge deck

Oona's Prowler x 4 1B 3/1 flying, discard -2/0
prickly boggart x 4 B 1/1 fear
cloak and dagger x 4 2 rogue comes into play may equip +2/0 & shroud
Bitterblossom x 4 1B lose 1 life at upkeep put 1/1 fly rogue in play
Infiltrator x 2 BB 2/1 unblockable

Sygg River Cutthroat x 4 BB 1/3 if opp loses 3 life, you draw card.
Morsel Theft x 4 3B or prowl 1B opp loses 3 life, you gain 3 life draw a card.
Blightning x 4 1RB deals 3 to opponent and they discard 2
Incinerate x 4 1R deals 3 to target
Aphotic Wisps x 4 B target gets fear till end turn, draw a card.

12 black 10 red land

not great, but should be consistent - aphotic wisps may seem like an odd choice, but playing rogue decks in the past, nothing makes you more angry than not being able to get your damage through for chump blockers, so fear plus draw for one B sounded good.

t1 B prikly boggart 1/1
t2 BR Oona's Prowler 3/1 attack for 1 opp at 19
t3 BRB Sygg attack with both oona and prickly opp 15 draw card
t4 BRB Blightning attack with both oona and prickly opp 8
t5 BRBR Incenerate draw card, attack get 1 through for prowl morsel theft, draw 2 cards opp. is either -2 or 2
t6 BRBR crimson wisps haste on on a infiltrator critter, draw and attack for win

Above is best case if they didn't run into any wonderful removal - This is a heavy sideboard deck, where bank on putting your answer board control or removal in if you didn't just out pace them the first go through. In that case you probably used cloak to protect sygg, tried to use your burn while waiting on bitterblossom to do something fun.

so after a rethink, no -4 aphotic wisps +4 crimson Wisps = R instant target becomes red gains haste, draw a card.

Sigil of the Empty Throne, Mentally CHallenged Deck list

Tide Hollow Sculler x 3 wb 2/2 look at players hand remove from game, put back when THS is gone.
Nip Gwyllion x 4 w/b 1/1 life link
Nightsky Mimic x 4 1 w/b 2/1 when play w/b spell becomes 4/4 gains flying
Batwing Brume x 3 wb prevent all combat damage, opponent loses life = # attacking creatures.
Bitterblossom x 3 1b

Double Cleave x 3 1 w/r instant, creature gains double strike.
Edge of Divinity x 4 w/b +2/1 if black, +1/+2 if white
Unholy Strength x 4 b +2/1
Nomad Mythmaker x3 2w 2/2 w tap, put aura from grave attached to creature
Oblivion Ring x 4 2w
Sigil of the Empty Throne x 3

so not a lot of time on this one, main idea, nightsky mimic turn 2, turn 3 drop both edge of divinity and double cleave - pumps mimic to a 7/7 double strike flyer, maybe doing 14 damage.
bitterblossom with some unholy strength or a batwing brume to finish the job. If you make it to late game, you can use the nomad on bitterblossomed flyers to continually use Sigil over and over. none of this seems like a good idea, but red black white mimic deck seems like it might be fun instead.

the collective idea--more sigil decks

4x Path of Exile
4x Bitterblossom
4x Ashling's Prerogative
4x Oblivion Ring
4x Goblin Assault
4x Esper Charm
4x Cryptic Command
4x Wrath
3x Sigil of the Empty Throne
25 lands

Easily the worst deck I've built. Maybe ever.

4x Fertile Ground
4x Bitterblossom
4x Recumbent Bliss
4x Oblivion Ring
4x Esper Charm
4x Mirror Entity
3x Shared Animosity
2x Crucible of Fire
4x Wrath of God
3x Sigil of the Empty Throne

So the idea is to not have an early game, ideally waiting for a turn three (fertile ground turn two) or turn four or turn five wrath, then unload sigil, then next turn play the rest of the cards you are holding as quickly as possible. Here is a typical game.
Turn 1: land.
Turn 2: land, Bitterblossom.
Turn 3: land, fertile ground.
Turn 4: wrath.
Turn 5: land, Sigil.
Turn 6: land, Shared Animosity, Oblivion Ring.
Turn 7: swing for 12 in the air, drop a cruicible of fire and a mirror entity.
Turn 8: pump 1 mana into your mirror entity making all of your creatures 1/1 dragons, with the crucible making them 4/4 dragons, with shared animosity meaning you swing with four 7/7 creatures. You still have mana to play an o-ring, esper charm for opponent discard, or just hold onto cards to reload if they have a creature removal.

Or I could take out mirror entity and crucible of fire and add +3 cryptic command +3 mulldrifter, or something along those lines.
Shared Animosity is still valid because you have faerie tokens and angel tokens.
Yeah it is really, REALLY bad. But that is why it is fun.

Stupidest Challenge of the week evah!

Impossible deck challenge

Planes-razor was a good idea, Drok

I played constructed standard, Jund mana-ramp. I went 2-2. I am growing tired of brg though, so I made some trades and now have:

1x elspeth
1x sarkhan vol (and Drok's got 2 more)
3x garruk wildspeaker
3x ajani vengeant
2x figure of destiny
3x realm razor
4x wooly thoctar
4x O-ring
4x firespout
4x volcanic fallout
4x bop

Pretty much I just need 4x battlefield forge, 2 karpulsan forests (or maybe reflecting pools or exotic orchards) 2 more fod, 2 more elspeth and 4x bloom tender and I'll be ready to have some real fun!

Fun deck!!!!
