Eye of Hazimel + Nakhthorheb rush deck

1. How do you intend to oust?

First rush and torporize, than bleed for 2x 3 with Nakhtorheb (with Enkil Cog) + the others can bleed for 1. Fame helps a bit.

2. How do you intend to keep from being ousted?

Back rush.

3. What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?

Nakhthorheb with Eye of Hazimel asap! Some support if possible.

4. What do you want your average turn to look like?

Rush via Eye of Hazimel -> torporize or burn -> untap from ability rush again or bleed.

5. What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?

Can't remember, haven't played for more than a moth. Haven't played regularly for more than, well 3 month maybe.

6. What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

This is a rebuild of an older version were Enkil Cog wasn't even printed yet. The problem was finding a balance between getting an Eye of Hazimel in time (lot of Vast Waelth to ensure this) and avoiding hand jam (all the useless extra vast wealth cards). I played like 3 games if I remember right. In the game were I got the Eye in time I made a Game Win with 3 Vps even defeating an Assamite Cel/Gun deck.

I might throw in Grey Thorne to eat torporized guys and get some extra bleed. Carlton might be good to contest and offer some defense. I'd throw in 1x Learjet for some fun permacycle instead of Scrounging. What to remove? 1x Eye of Hazimel and 1x Enkil Cog. I don't see how Enkil Cog is necessary in a rush deck(even if it could be fun). One note: Vast Wealth stacks. If you have too many, you can always play them. I also think that you could consider changing those Villeins to Vessels. Blowing up Blood Dolls could be useful to keep dudes in torpor, plus it offers limited pool gain. Nahk is your star, I say go all the way ala Enkidu.

It might be fun to find room for a Summoning. Maybe remove a SBTN? I might also consider changing 1x Pret Strength to Heroic Might for variety.

Have you considered using Shalmath instead of Nakh? Recurring Contemplation, Pocket Out of Time and Hourglass of the Mind do wonders for card flow. If you don't see too much intercept you could also use Developments instead of Vast Wealths.

Yes, thought about it, that will be another deck soon to be posted.

Enkil Cog ramps Nakh's bleed from 2/round to 6/round. Rush decks, and especially Eye of Hazimel decks, seriously need permanent bleed.

I'd also add a Codex of Edenic Groundkeepers to the deck.
It fits such ruch decks just perfectly!

As "Nakke" will most likely take care of any untapped minions some random weenie can bleed at +3 with Codex.
