-----------------

OK--if you all are like me, then you need a deck for states. this deck is 
pretty good, pretty flexible.
PS:I'm not a bad player ;-)

No Tog.DEC

SIDEBOARD:
4 Shadowmage Infiltrator
3 Engineered Plague(needed badly!)
2 Upheavel
1 Duress
1 Firebolt
1 Rancid Earth
1 Haunting Echoes
1 Chainers edict
1 Concentrate (could be Trade Secrets if you want...I'm impartial)

--------
1 Psycatog
4 AEther Burst
3 Chainers Edict
3 Zombie Infestation
2 Circular Logic
3 Innocent Blood
2 Complicate/Syncopate
3 Standstill
2 Tainted Pact
1 Mirari
2 Memory Lapse
3 Burning Wish
1 Smother
-----
2 Grand Colisium
3 Shadowblood Ridge
3 Underground River
2 Darkwater Catacombs
1 Polluted Delta
2 Darkwater Catacombs
4 Swamp
8 Island

-------there it is. It is basically UB infestation with a red splash for 
burning wish. There are many things that can fit in the board like sickening 
dreams and wildfire and earthquake. 
Against-the Mirror -- you put in finkel. Wish shines as they are basically 
Upheavels 5-7. Also, do the Carlos Romao and only counter Bombs like tog and 
heavel.
Against Mobilization- this is also where the wish is good. If they wrath, let 
it through unless they lose the next turn. Wrath is just not enough to 
counter, save it for their Moblizations and thats about it. They lose to 
upheavel.
if you get through an engineered plague, keep it in! Fight the counter wars 
over it! Its just that good--they cant handle it!

against- mono red--Zombie Infestation is key, as is standstill. They really 
hurt the red player, with mostly slow speed burn, or sometimes shock, but the 
2/2's are strong enough to kil most of their creatures. Aether Burst at will, 
and only counter the Words of War, and skullcap and possibly Piledrivers. The 
board has engineered plagues, which I would say is MVP in this matchup.

against- UG- Now this is a tough match. The problem is that they are fast and 
wonder  is very bad against this deck. You NEED to echoes away thier wonders, 
but dont wish for it on turn 2. In the board you have Upheavels, and side one 
of those in for your Innocent blood. Your going to want to be able to search 
for creature kill. 40/60 for them. This is truly a hard matchup!

Monoblack--NOW THIS IS SIMPLE! Besides smother, all their kill is sorcery 
speed, and the hardest card to kill is Ichorid, if thats even in there at 
all! Standstill+ Infestation is killer, and dont play your tog until u can 
Upheavel, because their deck is chock full of removal. SB- Your main deck is 
pretty much your sideboard, this deck is made to beat it! Your Mirari can 
kill two kids at once, and the only threats are maybe Ichorid, Duress, 
Echoes, and Braids. Echoes doesnt hurt much, usually, but if there is some 
good cards(ie:Infestations and/or upheavel) you can't let it through.

That is all for now. I hope all of you find a deck you are comfortable with 
for states, and that that will take it all for you. If you live in Oklahoma, 
im sorry, Im that guy who just ran you over.
