Unshackled, indeed...


Out of all the cards coming out in M15, I'm sure Ob Nixilis, Unshackled raised more than its share of eyebrows.

Now the obvious use is to prevent your opponent from using her tutors and fetch lands, but I'd like to build something a little more aggressive around him. There are only three cards in the game that actually force a player to search his or her library, and they all happen to be in black or green. I'm talking about Fertilid, Collective Voyage, and Maralen of the Mornsong.

The fact that two of those cards help you ramp up your land count lets us get Ob Nixilis out even faster. Psychogenic Probe helps get some extra damage in, while Path to Exile becomes all upside.

The deck would read a bit like a one trick pony, but a powerful one: Ob Nixilis + Fertilid results in 20 damage to an opponent, while Maralen sets a tight clock on our opponent. I invite you all to give it a shot and see what you could come up with!
