Also, how often Ob is really better than Lord of Extinction. I mean, Ob is sometimes a 6/6, but you need to have another land drop. Lord is often way bigger. If you've been blightninged, it's even more important. Plus, Lord isn't even a LEGEND, how ridiculous is that? It's one of the few creatures in the format that can't easily be blocked by Baneslayer.

I know a lot of people who have had this in their gauntlet since the release, the reason you don't see it played too much is you need 16+ $15+ mythics and a bunch of fetches to play this deck plus pulses, so it is ridiculously expensive to build. Also it's jund matchup is far from amazing and jund is a heck of a lot cheaper and has more results behind it so far. Any comments about any of my suggestions?

But I haven't really had any problems either with the Steppe Lynx aggro deck or the mono-burn deck yet. @ReAnimator

Mindshatters are pretty useless in the main, they are just soooo miserable vs agro decks. It's different with sludge in vamps, cause that deck has a ton of early game and defense, but this not so much. You will curse every time it is in your grip and you are playing against a boros or mono red deck. I would still advocate some number of terramorphic expanses in here, at the very least over the refuge. Are the one of's better then Rampaging Baloths? Those grim discoveries make me want shriekmaw back! This is the deck everyone built like the day Zen dropped, though most people put in harrows, though they aren’t really necessary.
