Pooratog

[rctan9]

Yea, I've always wanted to play Psychatog, and I guess I don't want to spend all this money on cards I don't have (like Cunning Wish, Intuition, Polluted Delta, etc.) So umm this is what I plan to make so far, r/f tell me what ya think (and keep the fixes to low budget), Thanks!

Pooratog - Psychatog on a Budget =/

Total: 60 (unless I can't count)

Land: 24
[15] Island
[4] Swamp
[4] Salt Marsh
[1] Underground River

Creature: 4
[4] Psychatog

Counters: 12
[4] Circular Logic
[4] Counterspell
[4] Force Spike

Bounce: 5
[3] Repulse (I would switch with boomerang, but I need the draw)
[2] Upheaval

Draw: 9
[3] Deep Analysis
[4] Peek (yes, this is the result of very poor)
[2] Compulsion

Other Spells: 6
[3] Innocent Blood
[3] Smother

Alright, this is my Pooratog layout. Please help me out, Thanks in advance!

If you dont want rares anyway where is the AK the Diabolic/Chainiers edict. Brainstorm should help if your on a budjet

[Polidoom]

I'd rather have Fact or Fiction over Brainstorm OR AK in the build.

True however hes on a budjet and FOF is pretty expensive however if you can get them play them cause the feed both your hand and graveyard

[rctan9]

Thanks. I'll try anything other than Peek, lol. I do have 2 Diabolic Edict, but what to replace.....

4X gush. Its the other way to win besides upheaval. Take out the peeks for it.

[rctan9]

Cool, thanks. I'll try it out.

Anyone else???

[Lich123]

oh yeah, play daze over force spike. Its more useful because you can tap out and still be able to counter. Also your missing the Nightscape Familiars. They make your blue spells cost 1 less to play, theyre like 5 cents each. Also pulse of the grid is a crap rare that is amazing in psychatog. You will always get it back because you can manipulate your hand easily.

[rctan9]

Awesomeness. I'll try em' out. Thanks.

[ElectricalSoulEater]

What about Barter In Blood instead of Innocent Blood?

[rctan9]

Alright, after playtesting this, I have come with an alternate deck that is similar, but not a common build.

Pooratog v2 - alternate, but nowhere near what I really want

Total: 60 (unless I can't count)

Land: 22
[13] Island
[4] Swamp
[4] Salt Marsh
[1] Underground River

Creature: 8
[4] Nightscape Familiar
[4] Psychatog

Counters: 8
[4] Circular Logic
[3] Force Spike
[1] Counterspell

Bounce: 4
[3] Repulse (I would switch with boomerang, but I need the draw)
[1] Upheaval

Draw: 7
[3] Deep Analysis
[2] Gush
[2] Compulsion

Other Spells: 11
[2] Lobotomy
[3] Think Tank
[3] Infiltrate
[3] False Memories

This version just gives me an alternate win condition, so I don't neccessarily need to use Upheaval (which I don't have ayways, I have to proxy them lol). Infiltrate allows Psychatog to go through, and False Memories pump my Tog while I go for the kill. Think Tanks are my temporary Fact or Fiction (you laugh, but I am really that poor). Anyways r/f this even poorer version lol.

[Ricroso]

this is sad. What format is this for? I'm guessing extended, so I'll post a budget form of extended tog.


3 Psychatog
4 Nightscape Familiar

4 accumulated knowledge
3 Fact or Fiction (like 3 dollars tops)
4 Brainstorm
4 Logic
4 Mana Leak
4 Duress
1 Upheaval
2 Gush
3 Ghastly Demise

4 Salt Marsh
4 Underground River
12 Island
4 Swamp
