Yeah, got bored last night and somebody mentioned the only shard I hadn't tried the frying pan in was Bant. And you know how I feel about NO Bant, it and Reanimator will forever be in my heart when it comes to MtG.
You used to put in cheat codes to get the secret characters as a kid didn't you?
Nope, I earned my secret characters :O This is more like going through Ladder mode on Mortal Kombat set to beginner so you can get Shang Tsung's alternate costume
Hahaha, good analogy =] I just always think of BantNO and Reanimator as "cheat code" decks. FaunaJund is another that comes to mind (sorta) On a different note, I really hate Stoneforge Mystic. It has essentially killed off classic "equipment" decks, and that makes me sad...We had to ban 'Cats' in our tribal format because someone rocked us with a LitterBox design...(later kept them banned because Cats are just good). Aura decks aren't ruined (too much, let's not forget Bant Conscription -_-) by Sovereigns because they cost so much to play, but when you lower it down to turn 2/turn 1 (with Legacy's pace), then it turns into SFM... Sorry for the rant, just really annoyed that _______ Blade is still watering down the creativity in this game...Anyway, I like the deck you've got here...it works nicely =]
I'm with you on SFM, it really is an obnoxious card that ruined a lot of the process of playing equipment decks :/ I run it in Bant nowadays because it makes a more consistent package than CounterTop, which while remaining to be one of my enjoyed tactics, is just not good enough yet. I looked at the W/U/x builds of the Blade decks, and it's dishearteningly similar to standard. I'm more likely to run MUC than this, or simply laugh at it whilst playing MUD XD

Dag, I am disappoint. But I'll check it out in a second
How can i change my profile picture?
very nice, not sure I'd like to play against it with all the counter options. :)
It has its good points, but overall I'm dissatisfied with this design. Notably I detest SFM, but Excalibur Bant currently does better for me than even Zenith, and that makes me sad. I'm glad you like it though, and if you have even an inkling desire to play it have at it. As much as I'm a player for MtG, I'm tenfold more a builder.
Number of counters doesn't make a deck, it the player. I often play against people who net deck and defeat them. Although the deck is an awesome deck, not truly understanding the deck is most net decker's downfall. I win against these decks because I manipulate the inability for my opponent to truly understand the deck :) It's the same reason I only play decks I make myself as I often don't fully understand what other people are trying to achieve with their decks.
I haven't net decked anything so far. It's all my own.
*reads deck name* O.O You sure you want to ask Zoidberg assistance on anything other than art? I know I wouldn't.
Maybe a fish deck. Why not Zoidberg?
Things almost always seen to go wrong when he's involved (especially when he's practicing medicine on humans)
Soooo...Traft is freakin amazing...If I were you, I'd try to find a way to sneak that dude into this as a possible "backup plan"
@_@ More comments than I expected on this deck. Firstly I'm dealing with the topic of net decking, I find myself having to concur with you DedWards, as I've seen people lose exact mirror matches(with amazing hands) using my Reanimator builds. That's a pretty simple deck for me, and seeing people mess it up suggests to me that it's because I know each card and why it's there gives me an advantage. Secondly the Zoidberg thing... I was watching the show when I made this deck, and couldn't for the life of me think of a name. Zoidberg said he might be of some assistance, and I took him up on that offer. And as for the thought of running Traft in here, I'm planning on something else with him in it :D It isn't functional yet, but it should be soon.
The other thing about netdecking that I didn't mention earlier is that (IMO) it defeats the object of the great game we call Magic - creativity. The most fun I have is creating a deck on my own and the feeling that I get wen my 'crappy little deck' wins is second only to the feeling I get seeing the expression on my opponent's face :D I do, however, think it's good to look at other peoples' decks as you can draw inspiration and get ideas from them.
I find myself having to concur on all fronts there DedWards, I continue to enjoy using my Doomsday decks against net deckers, and the aftermath is probably the best part. "I need some excedrin..." "But Stoneblade is tier 1!" "Touche dickwad" Ah the joyous sounds of my last three wins (V) (;,,;) (V)
...not sure if legitimate deck or combination of some of the best cards in MTG...
HAHA it's a legit deck know as [something] "NO", which stands for Natural Order. What's funny is it DOES have a lot of very powerful cards, and makes them work together.
Not sue if Fry, or memebase fan... (V) (;,,;) (V) But yeah, it was kind of an experiment along the same lines as the original Team America decks. It turned out decent enough, but I'm not personally sold on it.
