I'm gonna say no, as she just doesn't do "it" for me. But don't get me wrong I appreciate the input. To each their own. In fact I'd love to see some other people compile their own lists with their own tastes. If you have one let me know because I'd love to take a look.

Could work, now that I have a deck to keep me alive long enough to get out higher cmc cards.

Thanks, it was in there but as StrategicMuffinExhausted pointed out it was redundant since almost all my creatures have protection from red already. Plus I got spells and Burrenton Forge-Tender to shield creatures from red.

Think I'll have to track down some Justice cards. Thanks Geezer.

Ah, geezer what fun is there in being "honest?" besides he's being pounding away at me with his deck, it's time to turn the tables. And forcing him out of his comfort zone into experimenting with other cards to find answers to mine is half the fun we have. It's an arms race. There is always a counter to everything. This is mine for him. I'll let him worry about the counter stroke, and then when it comes I'll work on an answer for that. It keeps things fresh.

By the way everyone thanks for all the great advise, it has helped a lot. Still open for other suggestions if there are any.

Yeah I know, I'm just using it to store random ideas while I mess with the formula. :)

Okay tweaked some things. Still looking for ways to end him though.

He favors burn.

Leyline of Sanctity looks good.

StrategicMuffinExhausted, I know exactly what your saying. I was conflicted about doing the whole a protect from red plus a horde of tokens. Generating tokens seemed liked a good way to boost my life with Auriok Champion. Some of the spells in my friend's deck are designed to bypass my creatures and/or just go straight for my throat. So I thought it might help to beef up my life so if I needed to take a hit I could. That's why hallow looks so appealing to me. I'd love to cancel one of his big hurt spells and gain life equal to all the damage he was going to do to me.

I do think you got a point about Absolute Law, same principal may apply to Intangible Virtue.

My other problem is while I think a have a lot of ideas (thanks everyone) about how to stop him hurting me how do I kill him? Where's my win condition. I was toying with the idea of token generation and then just nibble away at him. But is there another way? A better way?

Another question I have is this, is white even the right color to shut down a fast red deck? I thought about trying a Blue control or mill deck? Any thoughts on what the best route would be?

Good card effect but CMC is just too high. If I haven't won by turn seven I've lost.

Yeah, it's pretty casual between us. Brave the Elements and Faith's Shield look good, I bring them and tinker around with them. Iona, Shield of Emeria I think just has too high a cmc. Unless there's some trick to getting her out I'm not aware of.

Krark's Thumb, increase your chances of winning the coin flip.

Also Show and Tell might be worth a look.

That's a great idea, now... how to fit it in...hmmmn.

True. I'll fix that.

I know you said you were trying to cut down on red, and I'm not much of a red player but my friend is, he flings Nova Chasers at me and causes me all sorts of grief. He also has a way of tutoring them out of his deck quick. If your interested His deck is http://www.mtgvault.com/chagoth/decks/nova-chaser-blitz-2/ by Chagoth.

No problem. And you were right about using entomb on phyrexian, what I should have said is you can fling them if you need to.

If you have the money to get them having four would increase the chance of it occurring in your draw.

It doesn't say if it says when. "When Emrakul is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library." So Emrakul is technically put into a graveyard. So when it does cast Goryo's Vengeance, it's an instant I assume it can interrupt Emrakul's shuffle chain. I may be wrong about this though, what do you all think?

Okay so Torpor Orb instead of Pithing Needle
