Oh that is so awesome! I only really read the card one time and just assumed he was playing it right, he's not one that normally misplays a card. Thanks everyone! Now I just gotta exile that pesky Psychosis Crawler....

just play Omen Machine. I have a friend that HATES that card with a passion. Last night I had Gate to the Aether, Wild Evocation, and Omen Machine in play.... then I cast Time Sifter.... it was an interesting game but I drew a ton of hate. Time Sifter hasn't been to hot for me. It skipped my turn for two rounds, then gave me 3 in a row, then gave the person that killed me 2 in a row. Sometimes you get a land pocket on top and there isn't much I can do about that. I really like it because it seems so on theme, but I'm pretty sure it has to be cut.

Haha Omen Machine is too funny.

On another note; If you had to choose one which of the following would you put in your deck:

[A] Path To Exile
[B] Swords To Plowshares
[C] Condemn

I only have room for one in my deck, I'm leaning more towards Path To Exile as its edh and mana ramp isnt too big of an issue. What do you guys think?

Also if anybody has any suggestions for a Sunforger toolbox in the colors of Red/Black/White Let me know!

Swords is better than Path in most situations. Life gain is not a big deal in EDH. An extra land is something I would rather not give an opponent. Condemn is too restrictive, though it is good for generals.

Depending on what I'd face, there would be cases where I could make the case for Condemn over StP. It would only be in the situation where I could really only play one or the other.

However, the situation where I could only play one or the other has never come up. Even if I played Condemn, there's always another card that I could easily kick out for StP.

If you're in a metagame where you really gotta kill stuff like Psychosis Crawler ASAP, I wouldn't play Condemn.

The biggest mistake people make in EDH is not including enough spot removal in their decks. I run Path and Swords in my White deck as well as Oblation.

For sure. Most of my decks run at least 3-5 "kill this now" spells, and sometimes that's not even enough.

What is something ridiculous you can achieve with Morality Shift other than Balthor, the Defiled?

Depends how you define ridiculous.

Living Death?
Open the Vaults?
Patriarch's Bidding?
Laboratory Maniac?

Oblation is mandatory in EDH. An opening hand with Oblation and the mana to play it is an auto-keep for matchups against low cc generals.

Well, I would suggest:
Abolish

Blood Oath (killer against decks that draw a lot of cards)
Chaos Warp
Condemn
Crib Swap
Debt of Loyalty
Devouring Light
Enlightened Tutor
Fight to the Death
Fork / Increasing Vengeance
Harsh Justice
Hide / Seek
Mercadia's Downfall
Mortify
Puppet's Verdict
Reverent Mantra
Shunt
Terminate

So I wanna run the Triskelion combo with Mephidross Vampire with Tooth and Nail in my Glissa Edh deck. Would the Black Mikaeus be better than the vampire instead?

If the only reason why you run the Vampire is for Triskelion, then yes.

I don't think people will be using the Mephidross anymore except for Vampire tribal. Mikaeus has more uses and is cheaper to buy and trade for.

Because exiling cards isn't where you want to be in EDH with all the recursion in the format.

You know what I realized last night?

People really don't appreciate Helix pinnacle hitting the table. Didn't even get a chance to put a single counter on it.

Thinking about making a deck centered around cycling. 1. Am I crazy? and 2. What general? Child of Alara or Progenitus?
