Thanks dude, I feel like I made this deck forever ago. If I make changes to it I'd probably remake the deck.

I can dig that considering he's running 4 Pyroclasm. He should definitely put in Relic of Progenitus or Rest In Peace in the sideboard for graveyard hate though.
I've seen a similar deck to this one in my local shop. Try out Porphyry Nodes in place of Path to Exile -if you need time to stall-. Turns out that it can be incredibly useful at keeping your opponent at a disadvantage in board state.
It's not bad, but you're curve is kinda wonky. You should focus more on having a decline from one drops and on. This could easily be standard too, but first I'll describe what you should do about your mana curve.Try to run more 1 and 2 drops. A majority of the deck revolves around turn 3 plays, and while that's not necessarily bad it's not good either. The 4 of lightning bolts is a great choice, another good choice for this would be Vapor Snag. It's easy removal with an extra oomph, or if you really need to you can return your creature to your hand as an emergency. In black we have Thoughtseize and Doom Blade. Instant speed removal is necessary, Dreadbore can be good but killing something other than a planeswalker on your turn is not optimal. Thoughtseize can easily rip a win condition or their turn one play from the opponent's hand, giving you an early advantage. Drop Nicol Bolas, he's cool but he's not in your curve at all. Ral Zarek is also not being helpful but he's not a bad option. You don't need the Diabolic Tutors so much at that point, since searching for something below the curve will most likely result in profit lost from playing Diabolic Tutor in the first place. Diabolic Tutor is necessary when you need a bomb, Demonic Tutor was broken because it was always worth it because you always spent 2 mana to find one card. Hero's Downfall is great, but you don't need to run what is essentially 7 of them. My tip is if you don't want to go standard, run 4x Terminate. It gets the job done at instant speed. If you want to go true standard let me know, and I'll definitely help. If not then I could modernize this deck too.
Consider Wheel of Fate
Mind Stone, Soul Ring, Mana Vault, Gilded Lotus for manaTinker, Fabricate, Ring of Three Wishes for artifact searchVedalken Archmage for card draw would be sweet
Detention Sphere gets work done. Also Heliod puts out enchantment creatures and he himself is an enchantment! His spear is sweet too.
+1 For flavorSee what I did there?
It definitely seems like it has some issues. I'm surprised it got that far.
Swap out Dispel for Spell Pierce. It will help you way more in more situations in legacy. For sideboard probably Propaganda, Arcane Laboratory, Tormod's Crypt, Cursed Totem, Aven Mindcensor if you can, Surgical Extraction if you can, or Orim's Chant if you can.
Alright cool. I read up on it and it took me a bit to understand. Neat.
Correct me if I'm wrong... but you can only use Pyrite Spellbomb's ability once because the cost is R, sac.
How do you win?
Hey some people actually have these cards lol
Do you actually have this deck? Cool to see a vintage decklist though. Never realized (For some reason) how good bob is in vintage.
I don't completely understand but what's the point of the Flagstones? Other than that really cool deck.
I know lol and it's a good idea but I'll keep it sideboard until I get some practice in the deck. Thanks for the suggestions though :)
Changed and Sideboard added
The reason behind no Rubblebelt Maakas or Giant's Growth for that matter is because Ghor-Clan Rampager is simply better and Scorchwalker can be a surprise +5/+1 at metainstant speed which is devastating. If I can find a place for Wrecking Ogre and the Maaka I will put them in thank you :)
I fixed my sideboard to what it actually is now. The only problem I'm having with this deck is cards in hand... so far no solution but I just discovered Gift of Orzhova and I think that will help a ton.
