I feel like people totally missed the 1-2 mana cost on the majority of the cards in this deck. I like it. 18 lands scares me but with the mana curve in the deck it is totally doable. i feel like soldier of the pantheon should be a sideboard card though just because (in my experience) a lot of decks have mono colored creatures of different colors, not necessarily multi-colored creatures. maybe some bloodrush red creatures or titans strength to buff the creatures to either keep them alive or make sure they kill a blocker. or just to buff whatever gets through. all in all I like this deck a lot. probably gonna throw something like this together myself. maybe a little higher mana curve though.

Also, I suck with sideboard's so any help there would be GREATLY appreciated.
true enough. honestly i didn't think of that point. and ahahaha my girlfriend wants me to let you know that she thinks you need a mox lotus in this deck, just because you have a way to get it out. and who can argue with infinite mill along with infinite mana?
i feel like if you put it on the right thing it will maybe slow down the other player a lot. but if they are smart and just treat it as a delayed kill spell then it becomes just that, a delayed kill spell. all in all it leaves a lot to be desired but as far as budget decks go it can be really fun.
i feel like see beyond hurts your odds, doesn't it? your chance of drawing the card you need is closer to completely random that way because of the constant shuffling. honestly just more kill spells and counters and other forms of control might be able to buy you enough time to get the right cards as well.
right, not sure what i was thinking there. anyway. then why were you saying that adding d-sphere wouldn't work for the deck? maybe i'm misunderstanding what you were trying to say originally or maybe i was just distracted by the rudeness. not sure, either way i feel like d-sphere would make a good addition to the deck
i totally love this deck idea. i feel like maybe you should add some sort of tutor or something that way you can improve your odds of finding the right cards. i feel like dimir infiltrator is only in there for that reason but you cant look for selhoff occultist with it. maybe more draw power? awesome combo though and i like the idea.
detention sphere at least works on o ring and o ring works on detention sphere. with one d sphere and two o rings it makes it not an infinite combo i believe though. pretty sure at one point you are detention sphere ing both o rings at once. but it still gets around 4 cats out depending on what order you do it in. it really is a decent card to add though just for the overall theme of the deck. of course seeing as this is a budget deck i would assume that most of the cards everyone has suggested (politely or otherwise) probably aren't really an option.
i really dont understand this ruling. as in order to play the first oblivion ring you have to have put it on something. that means that after you o ring the first o ring and start your crazy shenanigans there will be something that came back into play from the initial removal of the first o ring. so you break the infinite loop by simply o ringing the object that was originally o ringed...
they were printed in m13, which makes them standard until sometime in september.
i feel like this started to be an enchantment deck and then you changed your mind halfway through. i feel like you have a lot of little guys with lots of potential that you need some more enchantments that buff things to make them better. also creature killing is more common than enchantment destruction so i would think that, in this deck especially, oblivion rings would make more sense than banisher priest.
your whole deck is based around getting 3 o rings out quickly. and having at least 4 mana to have ajanis chosen out. while the idea is hilariously awesome it just doesnt seem likely that you would get what you want in your hand. i would suggest finding some cards that let you look for enchantments, or draw cards, and maybe some tutors that way you have a higher likely hood of getting the right cards. and then, as macabeas has pointed out, all it takes is one board wipe and you are doomed. also in an enchantment heavy deck the ethereal armor is going to be your best friend, i would say having all 4 would be a good idea.
Are you sure about that? The way it was explained to me is that is like countering your own spell in turn for +1 counters. if the spell is countered then guttersnipe's effect won't trigger. I guess I just am not sure exactly how the effect of this guy works.
My only question is why have wooded bastion? You don't have a single white card in the deck.... 4 more forests would have been just as good ><; also something that may help your mana production is the new defender guy that creates x mana of any color for each creature with defender you control. Also this deck is slow enough that is warrants putting in some fogs so that you don't die before you get anything out.
I like the deck. I think Nivmagus Elemental is a very weak card though. I don't put trash cards in my hand that I don't want to play so I can't see myself using him. More inexpensive sorcery cards would probably be good for that as well. other than that though it seems like a solid casual deck.
