I ended up just playing my necro control deck and won the Inquest $1000 tourney with it :) I hadn't tested the sideboard at all, but I tested the main deck and it was real good against both the decks you sent. However I think it needs to have more landkill and a little less discard: 4 scrublands (for sideboard cards) 14 swamp 4 mishra 1 quicksand 2 lake 4 ritual 3 consult 4 hymn 4 sinkhole 4 stupor 3 necropotence 3 steel golem 3 abyss 3 serrated arrows 4 drain life I saw in order: WW First game I got mana screwed and died with 2 arrows in hand, next two games I killed all his creatures and won with mishras + drains. UR with creatures: First game I got 1st turn golem, 2nd turn hymn, 3rd turn stupor, 4th turn necro. Second game I got a similar draw, and beat him. UR wo creatures: First game I got him out of cards, had a golem, mishra, 4 swamps on the board. I consult for necro, next three cards were all necro, I conceed. Second game I get a slow draw, and thawing glaciers defeat me. Mono Black: Abyss destroyed him Rgu: draw UW: First game he got browse out when I did not have necro. I sat around collecting cards. When he played his motis I unloaded all my cards, and ended up decking the UW deck. Second game I got first turn ritual hymn ritual necro, he did not force. UR wo creatures: First game steel golem + mishras and discard beat him up. Second game I got tons of discard + necro, then steel golem + mishras beat him up. Finals: Rgu. First game turn 2 abyss gives him tons of dead cards. Second game, some disruption followed by abyss, golem, cop red leave him helpless
