Sorry to break it to you, but Strip Mine is banned in Legacy. Wasteland is the next best thing in my opinion. Other than that, I think you're deck looks pretty good. I also have a legacy goblin deck, only mine is just B/R. Take a look if you are curious.

Pretty expensive for a casual deck, if I may say so myself. :-)

EDIT - ShadowElf. My bad.

Sorry, Shadowelf, but I'm about as retarded as they get when it comes to the current Standard format. I wish I could help.

I choose you, Chimney Imp! :P

Premature sending.

...Echo!

Wood Elemental: 4 mana and sacrificing a forest for a 1/1 with no abilities? I don't think so.

Some of my personal favorites:

Shelkin Brownie: Hooray! You can remove Bands With Others from a creature for one turn! How many creatures naturally have Bands With Others? None.

Warping Wurm: Oh boy! Four mana with two different colors for a 1/1 that gets bigger every one of your turns that you don't want to use it! AND when you do want to keep it, it has

Does it have a way to win if your opponent plays a creatureless deck?

Yeah, I heard people talking about this combo before the set was even released. I was kind of interested since I already owned a Food Chain, but I didn't follow through with it. I don't think there's anything I can suggest to make this deck better (except adding a Black Lotus :P).

Hey, Tal. Two of my decks are on the Upcoming list. You should totally comment on them to help me get to the front page. :D

I'd say Black Market would be hilarious in this deck, especially if your main goal is Exsanguinate. It's a shame it's a five-drop, but once it's out and you have your Skullclamps taking care of your Bloodghasts, your opponents are probably dead next turn.

Okay. No problem. I don't have all the Swords, so I'll just improvise with stuff like the Warhammer until better stuff comes along. Thanks a bunch. I'm going to examine the cards that I have and post my version of this deck on my own decklist, and I'll make appropriate changes when I come across these cards or others that I believe might make the deck work.

Do you think Aurification would be necessary since I don't have a ton of creature production? Sorry to keep bombarding you with all these, btw.

Umbra Mystic?

Loxodon Warhammer?

Thanks for all the help. I think I already have a lot of the cards mentioned.

Also, there is a creature from Darksteel that allows you to use Equip abilities at Instant speed. That with Puresteel Paladin is obnoxious. I already have Steelshaper's Gift as well, which seems like it would be appropriate.

Thanks, bud. Champion's Helm is another option for hexproof. What about the CoPs? Do you think they would be necessary? How about Eternal Dragon for Plaincycling and reshuffling my library? Is there anything that can send Isamaru back to my hand when it leaves the field? Just trying to figure out options to counter Condemn-like stuff.

I think it's a pretty cool deck. I personally like the creature Agrus Kos for his beef-up abilities when he attacks. Also, it's pretty costly to use, but the land card Sunhome, Fortress of the Legionne can give any creature double-strike. Just tossing out more ideas for you. I do think you have a great start, though.

I like your deck quite a lot; I'm very partial to Affinity myself. My Affinity deck is geared more toward Vintage (though not near competitive enough to do well in the format). Feel free to take a look if you would like.
