Memoricide is a fine card, but I don’t see it as being all that important. That’s just me though, I could be wrong, but I’ve never really liked cards like that (Cranial Extraction and Extirpate).

My article will go up on SCG tonight that covers the deck and it has a new list in it. I’m still playing with it and think it’s a great deck.

As far as disfigure being better than agony warp ; the mana difference is certainly notable. Being able to kill something and effect combat of another creature is really worth the extra mana though (admittedly unearth red deck and Jund are gone now so maybe it isn’t that good) Granted, disfigure does what you need it to, i.e. a sphinx kills that baneslayer (or maybe frost titan is more relevant to say now). I will look into disfigure more though. I run 2 out of the board, but maybe I will try it main. As far as flesh allergy, sure bone splinters was 10 times better, but it is nice to have a way to remove persecutor that can’t be countered, albeit an early brittle effigy does the same thing, but I just haven’t embraced that card yet, especially since I don’t run trinket mage. At only one more mana to play and trigger in the same turn, it imay be better though, and I will try and throw in some effigy. This past Friday night I just removed the flesh allergies for 2 ratchet bombs (taking a queue from this video), and while I didn’t get to play them much, I did wreck an elf deck with it once, and I can see the merit of the bomb in the “mirror” to fight back Jace.

Again, thanks for the videos, and thanks for the comments. I would love to see videos showing how the deck evolves and how it changes with the meta.

isn’t memoricide one of the most important advantages of playing UB?

To do that just click left and right on the mouse at the same time.

Great vids, cool to actually see u/b in action.

Question, When i hover over cards with the mouse, i just get text not a card popup… How do you make the cards get larger instead?

Well, apologies everyone, round 4 is sans sound due to overwhelming technical difficulties :*(
