  1. The next PTQ season, which is for Pro Tour Berlin, is Block Constructed. I hope you didn't spend any money on this deck because Pro Tour Hollywood's PTQ season, which was Extended is over. Go here for up to date tournament information: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtg...

    I don't know if you have any experience playing competitive Extended but I can tell you that this will not beat any of the top decks. Most of the top decks will go off before you can even play Opposition and even if it does hit play its not likely to make a huge difference. Alot of people run Pernicious Deed in their sideboard and can drop it as soon as turn 2. Btw...Diabolic Tutor is better than Beesech the Queen. If you need more speed in the deck just run Harmonize.


  2. I would probably change the simic growth chamber for a couple of forests (since you have 8 sources of U + 4 BOPs, +4 manamorphose, that should be enough).

    Altough beacon of creation is nice, its a one shot thing (once it reshufles, its pretty much lost). I probably would choose scatter the seeds, since you have lots of 1 drops (BOPs, elves, wardens, etc) and convoking the scatter to use with opposition is really nuts!

    I would take out the spectral forces and the beseeach the queen. Beseach is a 6 mana sorcery, and with your manabase, it will be dead weight in your hand most of the time (i know you can bop into manamorphose to cast beseach, but all the key cards for your deck are in copies of 4, so you should get them regardless of any tutor).

    Out

    -3 Beseach the queen

    -2 spectral force

    +1 llanowar elf

    +2 Tarmogoyf (if you have them. Much better than spectral force in this deck).

    That way you should stick to 60 cards.

    Good Luck
