Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
The deck plays quite admirably versus control decks like Psychatog. Many of the control games would end on turn 2 with a Scrying Glass. The Glass and the huge amount of discard totally rip people up, setting up a Smokestack or Contamination lock pretty quickly. Testing against Sligh was incredibly rewarding. It was very hard for them to win a game.
There are only 2 Smokestacks (though there was one in the board) because you could easily tutor for them, and Extended is so fast you don't want one to be sitting in your hand unless you can power it out. Of course, the deck has lost access to Entomb since that card was banned, so the easy ability to get a Nether Spirit going is now gone. One potential, if silly, solution is to run 3 to 4 Nether Spirits, and run one or more Scrabbling Claws to Tutor for. Now, if you get an extra Nether Spirit, just target yourself with the Claws and remove it from the graveyard. Without Entomb running 1 Roar of the Wurm and Moment's Peace doesn't make a lot of sense, so you can toss those cards to the curb.
The deck is a lot of fun. It strips your opponent of resources either literally or virtually, and when the game is in a situation of parity, takes over with Contamination/Smokestack/Subversion/Flashback (depending on the matchup). The deck uses the “more permanents” idea with Flashback cards, “sweeps the board” with Pernicious Deed, has Nether Spirit as a “Chucky”, and also gets the Deed to double as a “fail-safe switch”. If any of you do put it together, I'm sure you'll have a blast with it like I did."
