love it! I think you have found the winning formula.

Beetleback Chief was moved to common in vintage masters.
Hording Outburst is being printed at common and Zada at uncommon in the Masters 25 set:

That in large part was what inspired the deck.

I appreciate the concern though. Happy building.

That's all fair. That's why it has the question marks.

It's mostly a token combo deck it can storm out though. Not through the copied spells, but through drawing a bunch producing a bunch of mana and then hard casting a bunch of cheap spells. granted usually instead of hitting the storm payload you'd just win some other way... usually Fiery Gambit.

Thanks for the info though, sorry I didn't respond sooner.

I think he wants it standard, judging by how the rest of the cards are standard.

you're halfway there.... I don't think the red is actually doing anything for you. I recommend green, you can make a killer blue green agro infect for as cheap as this.

here's an example: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=226561

even if you are taking out the zen stuff it would still work out better.

I love what you did there, Obliterator hate ftw. the smaller amount of swamps made me nervous with the obliterators but then I saw you handled it.

noxious revivals maybe?

and why trubute to hunger?

4 Lashwrithe, you drop it as a 4/4 and it just gets better from there, also giving the lashwrithe to vault skirge is disgusting. and lashwrithe on a tormented is also pretty cool

I agree with this person. no red, just...no.

and disregard that just read the block thing

Mimic Vat for the win. if you have mimic vat with a doomed trailer and 2 parallel lives every turn you get 16 spirits a turn.

flying is common enough though, and the extra pump is nice, and it's just not the same T.T

This deck is just really cool in general. I would probably pull it back to 60 cards in order to increase the odds of getting the amulet. I know you wont for completeness sake but I would probably cut out Jin-Gitaxias cuz of his potential to mill you if you face a stall. but that's just because I'm not a big fan of him I think

four distortion strikes is a must.

I would have considered that if it was back when mirrin block just finished up and I had many more tornys to come. but I think the next one will probably be after rotation and all of those cards rotate.

we'll I'll put in the green blue duel lands. it'll make the deck a bit more expensive overall but it would be hard to not do it. there are still cheap blue draw spells so that's fine, the biggest lose will be distortion strike. I'm really hoping for something similar or different but still good if not it'll be interesting I suppose.

I could see siding it for decks with little to no flying/reach defense but I don't think it would make the main deck

he seams like he would be a good card here, but 95% you hit them for 10 or more poison in one shot. so they will not be poisoned enough for it. that was the same logic against corrupted resolve

if you are trying to take them from 0 to 10 infect in one turn in it helps to see if they can screw up the play. and it's a manaless cycle.

gitaxian probe is good for seeing what's coming your way and help thin the deck out for pumps.
I'm not really looking stay power that would slow down the deck to much
