Deck discussion for Murderous Intent

I like the combo's. Bloodsoaked Champion and Tymaret are already solid together, but the Prowler adds a nice additional recurring aspect . I would definately try to find space for Hordling Outburst. They give you more sac targets for Tymaret (damage or returning to the hand), as well as keeping up the pressue. I know you're already running a few double cc color spells with Dig, Demise, Jace, and the Elemental, but the Outburst with Tymaret is really strong.

And I'm not sure where your plainswalkers fit into your deck concept. Ashiok is good, but typically in a control build... and Jace is only so-so in general.... additionally, 8 of your 13 creatures can't block, and you have a limited removal package, so it's not likely they will be staying on the board for very long. The King, Champion, and Prowler are all aggressive cards, but then you've got a few control elements that I think dilute the power level of the deck. You might want to consider some other agro cards like Mardu Strike Leader, Mardu Shadowspear, and the Brutal Hordechief instead of the walkers.

You could take a little stress off the mana by running more Treasure Cruise and less Dig Through Time. Also if you decide to go without the Plainswalkers, that takes Jace's UU out of the picture. You can switch out your Hero's Demise for Murderous Cut for almost the same effect and a single B. And it might not be worth the single Bile Blight. If you do make some of these switches, it should be easier to run the Hordeling Outburst. You could go heavy into the B\R portion, but still have enough to splash for the blue for your Negates and Prowler, and plenty discard to fuel the Cruises.

Just some thoughts. Happy building :-)

Edited it a little bit. Eventually I'll get around to testing it out. Happy deck building to you too :)

I think you're better dropping the blue unblockable for 4 rabblemasters... even if they become instant targets then at least he's eating a lighting strike and you're not.

The block issue is not why it is in the deck. Being able to cast it from the grave is a big plus for this deck.

Tymaret is B/R. He is considered a black and a red permanent.

Seems kind of expensive for a combo (you have to attack, then pay 2-3 to bring back your creature, then 2 to sac, repeat). Have you tested it much in standard? Does it work well? Maybe i'm just missing something important :/

No testing done yet. If I could update cockatrice I could test it out. I'm trying to fit 2-3 rabble into the deck. The token it makes would take care of the attack step.

There is a Mardu Tokens build that is very similar to this except it runs Raise the Alarm and a few other white cards (Prob Butcher- I can't remember exactly) that works really well. It's just an aggressive deck and the recursion keeping the threats cominig typically puts it over the top. I like this version with the bit of blue though. It's a different spin.

I think rabblemaster would probably be a better go for getting tokens to sac. I do like the idea of raise the alarm and hoardling outburst

This looks pretty interesting, is your win con just constant pressure with recurring attackers? Also, Stoke the Flames seems like a better option that Wild Slash.

Tasigur, Sidisi and rakshasa deathdealer, if you're going with big dudes, master of the great hunt is a good shout and a powerful draw engine, also put in Stubborn denial for negate if you do this and lightning strike over wild slash

Are you sure you're thinking of the right deck? Toss up a deck list. I'm kinda confused.

guys mind looking at this: http://www.mtgvault.com/fadedherbivore/decks/infinite-mill/

I'm also trying to get into modern with this as well.: http://www.mtgvault.com/fadedherbivore/decks/elemental-torture/

Though for turning them competitive I'm willing to spend money on the modern deck, the infinite mill I don't think will winout much. Comments are encouraged, I love to hear others thoughts on card synergies or maybe some combos i've overlooked.
