add more 3 mana drops and i also suggest tezzeret agent of bolas to go find a birthing pod he does that very well whenever i used them

putting indomitable archangel in there might be a pretty good idea cause then all the artifacts u just played for dirt cheap have shroud

I really like what you did with Spine of Ish Sah. I guess I never really thought of that in my Venser deck. Speaking of which, if you could take a look and give me any sort of feedback, that'd be wonderful.

Thrumming Stone and Door of Destinies = Win. The only problem with these decks is having any sort of card advantage.

Ah shit. I totally thought it said target on it.

...and back to the drawing boards we go.

I thought about Frosty, but that's what everyone else does. I just want people to get pissed when I simply remove all of their creatures from the game one by one.

TheElSalvador: I just reread the card, and yeah. It doesn't contain the word "target" on it. So my illusions will be fine. Woo hoo.

Or I could target some creature they control. Also, Adaptive Automaton is fair game.

I haven't play-tested yet, and I know Spellskite doesn't save it. But hot damn, it'll save the hell out of my Lord Of The Unreal. I thought about Grand Architect and Wurmcoil, but then it'd be everyone else's illusion deck. I'm not trying to build a cookie cutter mold of other decks. However, thank you for your input, as I appreciate it.

..turns out the new Goblin Grenade decks are pretty damn fast. 2 of the 3 guys I usually play with made one and decided to use them all day. I think against most other deck types, it'll do quite well. The land base turned out pretty well, too.

It really was, I never had thought of how powerful Sundial of the Infinite was until you did that deck. Kudos on that one, too. But yes, thank you for the comment! Play testing it tomorrow.

Yeah, I kinda realized that now. Haha. I should probably change that and run more spells.

I like what Victory's Herald does, however, I do not so much enjoy the mana cost. So it's kind of a give and take idea.

I would use Abyssal Persecutor with Basilisk Collar attached, and then just use Go For The Throat to get rid of it for the win. Quite a few people use him that way since GFTT was printed.

Who needs Birds of Paradise when you can drop a Godsire for one green? Ha.

I couldn't have said that better myself.

Thanks, dude! And yes, I thought about Teetering Peaks. And good point with the Galvanic Blasts, since metalcraft isn't necessarily a guarantee. Also, I thought about Goblin Guides, but I simply lack the cash to construct it. Otherwise, thank you for the feedback! I'm gonna follow you, sir.

Well Doom Blade doesn't necessarily solve your problem, they would still have the Batterskull in their hand. Oh well. Haha. I think it's still better for today's game that they made the bans.

Thanks dude! I drew some sample hands on here, and I should (given I have the proper hands) be able to be swinging for like 10 on turn 3. I mean, it's no Kuldotha speed, but damn.

You don't see anything wrong with Stoneforge Mystic? It's a gaping loop-hole for Batterskulls. You can cheat them into play as early as turn 3. Soon to be followed by a Jace, The Mind Sculptor. And I'd say Batterskull is one hell of a roadblock. Seeing as it can also turn a Squadron Hawk into a Baneslayer Angel.

And yes, I've heard of Doom Blade, and Mana Leak. They are among a "staple" group of cards (at least Doom Blade used to be before Go For The Throat was released). I don't think I've ever made a blue deck without at least two copies of Mana Leak. It's just.. so damned versatile!
