I love playing against guys who get upset when they're losing.
Won two more.
2-0 vs. Cyclops - he kept a one land hand game one mistakenly thinking he would win on the backs of the two Delvers he had. I had land. I had counters and I won. Game two - Two Pacifisms - Two Fengrafs - Two Dispels - Two Seraphs & well we really do have a great match-up vs. Cyclops. Of course he got upset because he was losing and said "That's not a real deck" I replied "I'm sorry you feel that way about your deck". He said something else but I bit my sarcastic tongue and just took the win.
I really can't help myself sometimes confronted with poor losers and become in-turn a poor winner. I've turned into the same old cynical, sarcastic, old scamp my father was, Except he was neither cynical or sarcastic so I can't blame it on the genes.
2-0 vs. RWU Gatekeeper - Both games I maintained control with Essence Scatter and Seraphs and he couldn't keep up. Yeah Mizzium Skin was good here but I'm still not convinced it belongs in the MD.
Overall Record 10-4

Sounds like this is s really solid build. It still seems like it needs something, but it's been doing pretty well. Come up against an MBC yet Avery? No mono-black decks yet or and Mill decks. Toughest match-up for me has been Flicker-Gate, depending on the build. I have played a mono-black deck as a onesie and it was all one-sided. I either had or drew into three Seraphs and two extort guys plus a Fengraf and he just couldn't keep up.

Did a whole match. Paused the recording to wait for an opponent. Ran into mygalasy who destroyed me with Boros (I was not playing very well either). I was thinking about whether to post the match on YouTube or not (as I made several mistakes), but then I noticed that I had never turned the recording back on again after I paused it, so there was no recording to post.
Anyway, crushed by Boros 0-2. Negates and Mizzium Skin dead in my hand, extremely hard to deal with his quick assault with this little removal. Really missed Flickergate that could have killed, blocked and gained life to get out of the mess. Felt very helpless
1-1 record so far

Negates and Mizzium Skin dead in my hand, extremely hard to deal with his quick assault with this little removal. When Mizzium Skin works it's just awesome but it's even worse when it doesn't. You have to have it in your hand when they target the creature you want to save and hope you don't draw it when you need something else. Same for Negate. I'm all for relegating them to the SB. I'm adding in 2x Elgaud Shieldmate in place of Mizzium Skin and bringing in some kind of removal for Negates, haven't decided yet which. Also I'm going to drop the final Amass for something as well. Will post a list later today, and am open for suggestions.

Forgot to add a deck.
Win 2-0 vs. UB Zombie Recursion deck - thought this was a mill deck at 1st. Removal couldn't keep up with creatures + Fengraf. Only removal I saw was either Bone Splinters and Undead Executioner. Had Bloodflow Connoisseur & Bone Splinters to get Executioner to work as well as undying creatures, and Ghoulraiser and Ghoulcallers Chants for recursion. I won the second game with a small army of blockers, three of which were Extort creatures. Three Think Twices did 12 points of damage with extort triggers.
Overall Record 11-4 (Haven't seen as many Flicker Gate decks as I expected and no Mill or mono-black (other than a one of).

Just had a long hard fought match-up with Mr_Pinback. He knew me from Dan's videos but didn't know the deck I was playing. He was playing the BUG Flicker deck from the videos Dan has up on you tube. I think I did 100 points of damage game one vs. Sanuli Gatekeeper and Flicker, but finally managed to get there with a timely negate and four extort guys. We were getting low on time but I had him by a few minutes and was really watching the clock. Game two was fast. I had a counter heavy hand and only countered what I really had to to win. Directed him to the pttpp forums and hopefully he will join up soon.
Overall record 12-4 - - - but I don't know how. It just feels weak but I keep getting wins. Not complaining so I hope I didn't jinx myself, lol.

Signed up right off the back of my defeat at the hands of your deck, cheers for the fun game and the link to here. Good fun game but boy flicker vs extort is long. It's my 2nd day playing the flicker deck but i have already faced a few UW extort decks, yours however was the 1st to beat me I believe, so you must have something right.
