MTG Salvation

I always thought Dark Suspicions would be okay in Seizan, best paired with Gibbering Descent. I burn through my hand pretty fast, though, and that's not so much how MBC works.

Haven't considered those!

Not a big fan of Gibbering Descent, but Dark Suspicions looks pretty good.

I like Seizan as General, allthough I've never made a succesfull deck with him.

To me it seems your opponent will draw an answer more quickly with the 2 additional cards, then the damage will kill them.
And discard always seemed a bit pointless, seeing how they would draw 3 per turn.

In that spirit, perhaps change the discard cards for something else?

Oblivion Stone and Steel Hellkite come to mind for additional enchantment hate. Allthough I'm not sure what else to add.

Good luck with Seizan

I like your advice Wumbo. It made a lot of sense to me, so I decided to remove a few cards and add some others. You can find them on the list below my deck list.

bumped for curiosity

Memory Jar is a great draw spell and seems perfect for triggering both Underworld Dreams and Liliana's Caress.

You could also run Megrim in addition to the caress, and add in Anvil of Bogardan and Chains of Mephistopheles. Your opponents will basically be guaranteed to discard every card they draw.

Oh ☺☺☺☺...Memory Jar + Underworld Dreams + Liliana's Caress = 21 damage per enemy!

Any more suggestions?

Did you read Chains of Mephistopheles? It's really brutal in this kind of deck. Add in some additional card drawing such as Howling Mine and Anvil of Bogardan, some more damage outlets like Megrim, Black Vise, Iron Maiden, Dark Suspicions and you've got a pretty solid lock.

I don't know what your budget looks like, but sphere effects such as Nether Void, Sphere of Resistance, Thorn of Amethyst, Lodestone Golem and Trinisphere will prevent your opponent from playing any of the spells in their hand so it can get owned by the aformentioned discard effects. Also things like Sundering Titan, Smokestack, Braids, Cabal Minion and Helldozer will kill their land preventing spells from being played as well.

Top it off with some global discard such as Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists and Cunning Lethemancer to get the most out of Megrim/Caress.

This is sort of moving the deck into a more combo deck rather than control but it's the only thing I could think of for Seizan. Good luck!

I'll try to get Chains for x-mas, but the card's 60+ dollars, so I'll try my best. It is brutal though!

Good suggestions. I would actually run Chains regardless, since it keeps extra draw power at a minimum while still doing damage.

bumppppppp

Quick update:

Memory Jar is a house in this deck! Whether just for hand advantage or damage, it has proved itself time and time again. I Memory Jar'd discarding an Underworld Dreams and Liliana's Caress. Next turn, played YawgWin, play UD and LC from the yard, then Memory Jar'd for the win.

Edit: I had Wound Reflection out.

Seizan does seem like a good EDH general. His ability is somewhat threatening, but not enough to draw a lot of hate, seeming as people are drawing cards, he has good stats and he's relatively inexspensive mana wise...

About the actual deck. 100 card singleton lists are really hard to get, but this deck looks pretty solid. I think you could definately run some fun, swingy creatures though... Wurmcoil Engine? Perhaps Grave Titan? The deck doesn't look to Plankton-y, but a good way to stay alive is Font of Mythos, which actually kinda goes with your general's theme... Temple bell can be there instead if you want something that can be "turned off"

I really want Repay in Kind in this deck. Can anyone help me find a spot for it?

Edit: I think I found the spot. Tell me what you guys think.

Changed my decklist. Thoughts?

Ill-Gotten Gains, but no Yawgmoth's Will?? Please add that card...Yawgmoth's Will is the most broken card ever printed...

Haha, it's in there under combo pieces. I couldn't figure out what category to put it under!

bump for curiosity.

Since you have a lot of different combo pieces I would add more tutors like demonic collusion or the black transmute cards.

I understand that. However, each combo piece is meant to work harmoniously with Seizan, and they do. Plus, with the draw power and library manipulation from not only Seizan but the other cards, it's usually not a problem.

Bump, and switched Painful Quandary to Bond of Agony.

I'm curious on how well this works against creature heavy decks. I'm working on a Seizan deck and your build really intrigues me.

So, I'm seeing Ill Gotten Gains showing up in a few decks. I'm wondering just how good this card is? I understand that the best feature of it is that its a triple regrowth, the opponent's ditching down is just icing on the cake, right?
