What to do with NPH?

I went 1-3 drop in Charlotte with Big Green (Neely Green).

So, I sold the deck.

What do I sleeve up now?

Any suggestions (not a list so much but more than "Play Caw-blade")...

For your style...mono-green poison :-p or possibly the Tempered Steel deck as both are highly aggressive decks.

I was thinking about a Bloodchief Ascention + Mindcrank deck in a Tezzeret frame.

I can see that...kind of working. Unfortunately it's not that easy to get the stupid bloodchief ascension activated (when the card first came out I traded for a playset within 2 weeks hoping I could build some nasty combo deck out of it...but no luck). While it is a nice interaction and "game over I win combo's" are always sweet in type 2...they really only work when either 1) the deck is based heavily around the combo..which means that should someone disrupt it or remove it...you're boned 2) the combo is so inherently degenerate and the cards in the format naturally support it...i.e. the old Tolarian Academy decks (turn 1 wins in Type 2..ouch). I'll certainly let you borrow any pieces you need (I have 3 Tezz's I believe). Just going to have to wait until next week when my 2 boxes of NPH arrive.

This is the list I've been working on.



5 Swamp
4 Creeping Tar Pit
4 Island
4 Darkslick Shores
4 Drowned Catacomb

4 Bloodchief Ascension
4 Mindcrank
3 Contagion Clasp
4 Tezzeret's Gambit
4 Grim Affliction
4 Everflowing Chalice
4 Tumble Magnet
2 Contagion Engine
4 Preordain
4 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
2 Liliana Vess

Sideboard
3 Doom Blade
2 Go for the Throat
3 Into the Roil
4 Mana Leak
3 Dismember



Let me know what you think.

Plus if you want to trade those Tezz, let me know.

This deck has 0 outs maindeck to the Splintertwin deck....that's a dangerous game to play..there's also a pretty solid U/G infect deck running around with Glistener Elf and the 2 drop 1/1 unblockable poison guy.
