I wish I could help. I don't have much Extended experience, but am hoping to
play for the first time in one of the extended tournaments this season.
I like the Burning Wish + Cranial idea, especially, since I only have one
extraction 😉
I was thinking of running some sort of Goblin deck, since I have most of the
cards I need, and only need to pick up a couple others, like the wish.



I admit, I'm a little lost on your win condition. Is it to steal one of their
dead creatures and beat them over the head with it? Firebolts for the last
damage? You can't wish in the Beacon. If you find you've got a lot of mana
by the mid-late game (which you'll likely be around to have) you could side a
Fireball or a Kaervek’s Torch. Wish for it, and then send it to their head.

That's my kind of deck, actually; I like it. Wish I had those Tutors...

The Win condition is actually Haunting Echoes the back up is stealing
creatures. You kill everything they play, make them discard into a HUGE GY
and then echoes them, essentially decking them to the point that they cant
recover. It is one of the most brutal ways to die in Magic.

Most of the popular decks this season should be creature based and I know
for a fact that this deck performs very well against creature based deck and
fairs pretty well against the other control decks.

Also, you could use Firebolt and Beacon of Destruction and Earthquake. You
can hard cast all of these for DMG. With recoup you can recast earthquake
for X1RR (1R for recoup XR for earthquake), and give Firebolt a new
flashback cost of 1RR (1R for recoup R for Firebolt) and the Beacon is
wishable with Burning Wish. Also you could wish up Rude Awakening and swing
in with 10 Lands to kill (makes your lands 2/2 and untaps them for 6GG).

I changed the MD and SB a little and will take about the changes.
here is the new list.

4 Duress
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Innocent Blood
4 Vampiric Tutor
4 Firebolt
3 Terminate
3 Burning Wish
3 Pernicious Deed
2 Reanimate
3 Recoup
1 Earthquake
1 Haunting Echoes


1 Wooded Foothills
5 Swamp (3)
4 Sulfurous Springs
4 Bloodstained Mire
2 Forest (2)
1 Darigaaz's Caldera
4 Mountain (4)
3 Llanowar Wastes


SB:
2 Reanimate
1 Earthquake
1 Recoup
1 Haunting Echoes
1 Beacon of Destruction
1 Decompose
2 Meltdown
1 Threaten
1 Cranial Extraction
1 Rude Awakening
3 Pyroclasm

First thing I did was put the Terminates in the MD instead of side and took
out the Chainer's Edict and the one Genesis, the were unnecessary and I
think Terminate will give me way better spot removal for things like Verdant
Force and X Angels and Blistering Firecats. Having that instant speed helps
a lot. and losing the edicts only cut me back 3 sorcery's for recoup tricks
there are still 20 other sorceries in the deck to flashback so it wasn't a
big loss. Also I reworked the mana base. I sat down and did the percentages
behind the deck and analyzed the mana base and it is well way skewed red in
the previous version so I scaled it back a little added more black and
lowered the over all green mana access because I took out genesis. Now it is
slightly more heavily skewed black then red and should make the probability
of having what I need colour wise when i need it.

In the SB i replaced the Terminate with Pyroclasm because it is another
wishable target along with a good board sweeper against things like WW and
RDW mana accel things BoP, also good against the random Cephalid Illusionist
(Angry Ghoul deck). I am considering some other change to the board to help
deal with control and combo (Scepter Chant and Mind's Desire) matchups
namely more discard options but i have to think about this for some time.

If you want i can kinda make a run down and links to what i am expecting to
find in the extended season and the reasons behind my card choices. let me
know about this.

I see. That's a good one; I hadn't seen Haunting Echoes before. It would
work well against my goblins, since I'd likely be tutoring different ones with
the Matron.

Pretty cool deck idea.
