thats why you use play sets and focus a deck around certain combinations I dont rely on a single card though all the cards in the deck work not just one

as I said Ive used the deck and turn 5 under you will have absolutely gotten all you need to get a big player in this deck out and functional no matter if its progenitus, emrakul, steel hellkite, etched champion, or primeval titan in the end if you play the deck correctly its almost always a turn 7 win
technically turn 5 turn 4 you would have to play the amulet with etched champion it plays very well by turn 4 though thats plenty fast enough from my experience even against aggro decks you don't die nearly that quickly an aggro burn deck would have a very fair chance against this deck though if it can deal damage till I get a creature out and then burn the rest honestly though this deck isnt slow at all turn 5 having a 10/10 creature or a 15/15 creature that they cant kill its basically over every deck has its faults to be sure but this is a very fair build Ive already tested it and its very very fun to play and isnt easily stopped
no the suggestions help I havent built this deck yet and I appreciate the suggestions before I try
true well the deck isnt perfect when I posted it I actually also included emrakul and the plating was for any instance when things were going slow while trying to get out the three major parts quicksilver amulet progenitus and emrakul so the sculptor would be a valid creature to put plating on for a game stall to draw aggro I also do actually like primeval titan and am considering him as well
cranial plating can make progenitus bigger for all the lotus and lantern the reason for the lotus is for hard casting things like door to nothingness or an easy way to get out quicksilver amulet and having left over mana
I dont very much like control there is just to much to think about I have no problem with thinking a lot goes into every good deck I see magic often like a game of chess but this has never really been my play style
yeah I use a jund deck primarily with aggro and creature control I prefer to be able to start turn one and keep moving for the rest of the game at a steady pace I use this as a side deck for fun but it still does very well my main problem with it is all the thinking it takes to efficiently operate a counter deck I prefer to be able to just swing with creatures but there are only 8 creatures in this entire deck
that's not necessarily true the thing to consider is this isnt an aggro deck optimally turn two you will hold back and use a negate or essence scatter then turn 3 use an electromancer with one mana left over in most situations even against aggro this will give you easy cover for the deck to play safely without much opposition from the other player especially in a standard format match up
electromancer is really what helps to balance the decks mana curve unfortunately I only have two
think twice is good because its flashback also triggers guttersnipes ability and teleportal late game can easily get get you the win
no worries you said that better then most people I see on youtube yeah thats a pretty fair change to it but personally Id do the opposite deviant glee is good since it can give trample but the extra bit of damage even as little as it is can help a lot early game and with a rakdos aggro deck build like this you I never particularly play for keeping any creatures long or even caring much for how much life I lose so the extra point of damage can make a big difference over all
the win condition is pretty much the desecration demon primarily its great and I've used them in a rakdos aggro in competitions also you should use the experiment one in a way to where it will get to be a very formidable creature there are four in the deck so I'd say just keep one or two of them as blockers at any given time but it is an aggro base deck so you want to try and play to win quickly while having burn to control the board there are still cards I am getting for it though
no its a great card especially for Orzhov just haven't gotten any of that card yet
