Deck Description

For my 200th deck I posted a challenge for the people to challenge me and the challenge I chose was submitted by Prizrak "An archaeology themed deck".
The deck took me longer than I'd have liked to design, but I couldn't decide what I wanted to 'dig' for in the deck and what legality I wanted the deck :|
The idea of the deck (other than trying to keep it themed) is to 'find' the artifacts and then use them :p

Shout outs:

Prizrak - for one of the most difficult themes I've ever designed a deck around, it was fun.

surewhynot - always giving helpful advice, you've swayed many a disition for my many ideas, thanks

WhiteAndBlueTheyKillYou - sure calls you the "king of control!", I'd love to test that, I love playing against control :P

Anyone else I may have left out - well, I'm not good at this type of thing, so I don't know what to say to each individual person :D

Deck discussion for 200th Ded - Archaeological Dig

Howdy Ded. This is really a great theme for a deck, and even better for a 200th deck dedication.
Now, while this deck focuses on the archaeological side, you might want to add in some more anthropology as well. The invisimancers make for good warrior-caste, but how about the actual diggers? Sea Gate Oracle does his share of digging, though he quits as soon as the sun rises. Too bad the Halimar Excavator spends her time looking through everyone else's midden piles for hidden gems.
Of course, there's also a question of terrain. Rainforests often yield great discoveries, but sometimes the unwary can fall into Quicksand, And what better site to stumble across than some Ancient Ruins (especially for this deck)? And, if you're up to a little undersea excavation, the Halimar Depths are a good place to visit.
Overall, great deck man, two thumbs up. Nothing more fun than a deck with an interesting theme that had effort put into it.

Thank you for accepting the challenge, and congratulations on your 200th deck! =D

I'm glad my major is awesome enough to dramatize in Magic.
