I had a Darigaaz deck before the "Darigaaz Domination" List was posted, and

who ever designed it really needs help on deck building.

This is the deck i am talking about:

The first weakness in his deck that i saw and that i had to overcome in my

own version in a bad mana-base. I used four birds of paradise to help me (i

am not like those rich shitheads on the pro-tour who spend thousands of

dollars on cards; i traded) and i used elfhame sanctuary. The birds are a

secure, first turn, mana producing creature. And the sanctuary helps me

search for mana that i don't have readily available. I too, used to run four

of the caldera but when i got two in my hand and no other lands, i switched

to two. To cover the B/R/G land aspect i threw in a couple of Llanowar Wastes
and Urborg Volcanos and Shivan Oasis to smooth things over. And any deck
over two colors with green in it should be a basic green deck with the other colors splashed.

With Seven of his creatures costing five mana or more in a three color deck

with only two birds is insane. Maybe if there where any familiars in here it

wouldn't be too bad, but i don't see any. The killer of the deck would

hopefully be Darigaaz himself or Blastoderm (he is even not-fitting to the

deck because hehas no evasion or game-altering abilities (other than brute

The Attendants are not needed. They are over priced at five mana and have an ability
that can be useful, but not significant. The Orgg shouldn't even be

in the deck, Why not run three more Blastoderms, or even go out on a limb and
play a solitary Spiritmonger. Crypt Angel and Fallen Angel can be good but don't
really fit. And who the hell plays with Goblin Raiders?! C'mon, one of the worst
bears in the game, omg...

If you want to make a deck that is streamlined and effective then you should

focus on one topic, ie. Discard or control, maybe even land destruction. You

don't go for discard and pump up. i would take out the Ostracise, Duress and

Giant growth and put in four consume strength. Creature Removal and pump up.

The Digging Team should be a sideboard, and The Shivan Zombie + Yavimaya

Barbarian are only good for sacrificing them to the Fallen Angel.

What this deck needs is a way to clear the path for Darigaaz or whatever is

your finishing move. 1 Blaze, 1 Urza's Rage and 4 Darigaaz's Charm are not

significant. What is needed is 4 Ghitu Fire (or Blaze), 2 (or more) Urza's

Rage and if you really want them 1 or 2 Darigaaz's Charm. For other removal

proof cards against decks with lots of burn you should run 3 Nightscape

Familiar to help your mana cost and for repetitive blocking.

Essentially, you have at least one card to drop each turn. this keeps the

deck going against counter and you should always have something new on the

The sideboard should have Pernicious deeds for board clearing and more Rages

and Consume Strength. Seal of Fire is good against merfolk and elves. That is
