lol! angry is the right word for your opponent I guess! I usually play with a restricted mana drain, as it is so unfair haha! I think you forgot to add isochron scepter :P

Hi Puschkin!
If you ever have some time, I'm trying to build 2 old school decks that will see use in a friendly old school tournament I do with my friends! It's 1-1 play, EC 93-94 format. We play with no sideboard. So cards in my sideboards are cards I thought about adding in the deck. Trying to use original decks without power.

Need a review on this one. Gaea's liege deck! Pretty complete to me, but I still wonder if it can work. Last year I used a Lord of the pit deck, but it wasn't consistent enough to win. I couldn't draw the lord when needed, so I'm afraid the same will happen with the liege!

Ok this one is strange! I'm trying to build a Kobold lock-down/Johan deck! Forget the manabase, all those duals are the "I wish I had the perfect manabase". I'll borrow a couple of them from friends and hope for the best haha!

Thanks for the help!!

I misread the feather! sure it has some benefits for the deck !

I'd drop Elspeth, sun's champion as his second ability is a killer for all your angels and most of your angel already have flying or replace him with elspeth, knight errant.

I'd also drop angel's feather unless all your opponents play only white decks. You have plenty of lifegain already.

Your mana curve is pretty high! I think you need somthing like extraplanar lens/everflowing calice or something like that to accelerate the deck.

I'd also drop commander's autorithy as it is really costly. I know it's not an angel, but with so much lifegain and so high mana cost, I'd consider adding serra ascendant.

If you want to stick with the tokens, I'd go with more anointed procession and add 4x luminarch ascension (especially if you play multiplayer games)

Evangel of heliod is only really good if divine visitation is out. I'd drop or replace with angelic guardian I think.

I'd play 4 resplendant angel to lower the mana curve and it's pretty good in the deck.

good points! Some more ideas: I think Domri, chaos bringer would be an awesome red splash! Speed up the game, resist wrath of god effects, and add beasts! Clan defiance and Overmaster were pretty good ideas. I wondered if sylvan caryatid could also help speeding up the deck while giving some early game protection. I also thought about the idea of splashing black for equisite bloodsanguine bond). ifh-biff efreet would be pretty fun to add, it's a shame it's not a beast! call of the wild could also help after a wrath of god event!

I have a friend with a high mana cost green deck. He uses cloudpost along with crop rotation to get them early. Might help to quicken the deck. Works well for him in multiplayer games.

If I was to splash a color, I would add white to play rhox faitmender since your strategy is to win with lifegain.

I still wonder if you ever win life consistently with fangren, especially since you have only 2x thran forge.
I also wonder if beastmaster ascention could be your 2nd wincon instead of cyclone.

I agree, I would at least switch 4 of them for sulfur falls which is standard legal.

Nice deck! I'd replace the myr for eldrazi mimic. More chance to use 2x or more eater of days on the same turn, as it must not happen often that you can put it in play unless you go for the win. Cheers

I like the deck idea, but I think it lacks a couple removal cards.
In the current deck, I do think hunted troll dosen't fit. It gives your opponent 4x flyers that can kill pretty much all of your own flyers. It's a high price for a deck based on flying creatures. I'd replace them with hornet queen. Gets your mana curve a bit high, so you could try to replace 4x forests with cloudposts or drop a couple creatures for cards like cultivate or journey of discovery or crop rotation.

cheers

I have playtested a lot of landless decks. I think this deck will probably be too slow because you can't put any creature before turn 3 (if you have a lotus bloom on turn 1). The problem is your mox amber is useless unless you have kiteon out and you absolutely need a bloom to put it in play. After that, the mox can only give you a white mana which is not that helpful. Also, having only 6 elves dosen't seem enough for the heritage druid. You would need half your eleves untaped for it to work. If you want to lose the modern tag, I would definitely switch your high ground for elvish spirit guide. I also don't see how it can be consistant without mox opal and more artifacts. Glimpse of nature could be interesting as a draw engine if not modern.

Cheers

Nice deck! I don't really get the use of urborg. you only have 2x lands that aren't swamps! I don't understand the use of prophetic prism in a mono color deck. Why the perpetual timepiece? You only have one whip of erebos to get the nightmare back from the graveyard. I would drop all of these. You might use more cards like raise dead if you use the perpetual strategy to get your nightmare from your graveyard. Otherwise, you need something like diabolic tutor. Do you really get to play altar golem? you have like 6 killing cards + 2x possible deathtouch to clean the board. I wonder if the golem ever get really strong to be worth tapping 5 creatures tu untap. I'd drop them and the 2x foundry inspectors as well. Maybe add crypt ghast

add at least 2x liliana of the dark realm.

finally, couple of your kill cards are too costly, maybe replace with other things like mutilate or go for the throat
lashwrite seems better than nightmare lash.

cheers

star of extinction seems like a natural to this deck, but I don't know how to fit into an already high mana curve. Might bring the deck slightly out of the "budget" tag!

like the idea! think you have enough red spells to think about adding hunted horror

I like stuffy doll, but I usually play it with white for the pariah combo. Couple ideas : I don't really get the use of warstorm surge. It can only be used with 2x thunder dragon. So unless you play a realllly slow game, I'd cut them. You have so many board wipes, can you really play blasphemous act for a reasonnable cost? Same could do for chain reaction, I would sideboard for token deck, but otherwise, it's weak if there's only 1 ou 2 creatures in play. Why the white lands (I suppose it's supposed to be green)? I'd go 4x doll, and find room for 4x ball lightning, probably replacing the dragons. And with so many board wipes, I'd play sylvan libraries to help draw the doll or curse at the right moment.

Cheers

would be awesome, but can only play cards from fallen empire and older! thanks!

hi there,

you should look at simulacrum. It's a great addition to protect yourself and redirect the damage to a stuffy doll. Also, I don't see how mesmeric fiend can help as it should die from a pestilence pretty quick. It cannot be protected from pestilence by auramancy. Also, stillmoon cavalier make a good back up if you don't have a stuffy doll out or against flying.

Hi there,
What about artisan of forms? You can target it with fated or cackling or clone. I'd switch clever impersonator for it. My fear is that if you don't have a biovisionary in play, the only other creature you can copy without being 0/0 is the renegade. Might be stuck with cards in hand then. Artisan would be one more creature you could copy. If you don't mind not being modern, I'd prefer vesuvan doppleganger over clever. Any problem with mana? Polymorphous rush could be switched to something that quicken up the mana (as you shouldn't have any creature that won't be a copy of biovisionary). Nice deck idea!

Thanks for the advice! Thicket basilisk and engulfing slagwurms both have venom. Typhoids rats are only deathtouch, but couldn't find something cheap (1 or 2 CMC) with venom for early defense. I might try to cut some mass attack spells for a couple venoms and see if it works well!
