Thanks for the response, I will think a while longer about adding white, but I can see your point of the benefits that protection + 1 sided wipes add to the deck.
Cheers

Re: Armix & Rebbec - Protection from Everything!
Hi, I just read your post, as I have an Armix deck and want to improve it. Mine is only black (currently I use several cards from UB, like you), but you might convince me to add white. How did your version pan out? Does it hold it's own and manage to win?
Thanks for the advise!

Re: Goad: how annoying is it?
My Marisi deck, so far, generally has some good success as my meta is mostly composed of creature decks. To alleviate the late game 1vs1 scenario, where goad does nothing useful anymore, I rely on several fog effects and surprise wraths such as Angel of the Dire Hour , Comeuppance and Settle the Wre...

Re: [BRC] Urza's Workshop
Note this is one of the set-booster-only cards; it's officially part of BRC, not BRO (so it's not in the main set), but it's not in the precons, only in set boosters.

Re: So like, what’s actually wrong with Craterhoof?
I'm not a huge fan of craterhoof's design because it's so cheap for a probable table kill. 8 mana and bodies is not that big of an impediment. Numerous colors are not great at dealing with it (red and black specifically struggle with instant speed combat stuff, and white only recently has gotten so...

Re: Should cEDH spin off into its own format?
In my opinion, it all boils down to rule zero discussions, and by having players being honest and fully aware of the power of their decks. It will always be, however, open to one's own perspective on that point as this is not a black or white issue. Thus, it will remain arduous to obtain an environm...

Anyway, good luck with that!

Re: Is White getting better?
Cards like Thorough Investigation and Search the Premises are a step in the right direction for more white card draw. I just don't like that you need to spend 2 more mana to benefit from the effect. Maybe have that reduced to [sym=1] to make it more efficient (via a new ability, not by investigating).

Any thoughts on the latest cards from Crimson Vow? I think that Katilda, Dawnhart Martyr or Hallowed Haunting might be worth a try. I am thinking about proxing them in my deck to see if they are worth it. Not sure if you have a place in yours, as your build is much more refined than mine.
