Deck Description

My second deck I ever made when I first started playing. I've been working on it for a year and a half, and its finally done. I beat my buddies $1,300 Tier 1 control.
Sideboard are cards I keep close at hand.

How to Play

This is the plan:

Pull a Hexmage on a Dark Depths on turn 2 or 3 and summon your Avatar.
You can also use Thespian's Stage as well!
Want more? Use Sun Titan and Crucible of Worlds with Mirror Gallery to get an Avatar every turn.

Also can be made unblockable!

More budget-ish:
Remove a Dark Depths for a Stage and the expensive tutors for the cheap ones.
Crucible of Worlds for..? More Desecration Demon?

Deck discussion for Dark Depths

Remove 2 Demonic Tutors to make this Vintage legal or all three for Legacy. Right now it isn't legal in any format.

It would also be helpful if you added a deck description. An experienced eye can see the Dark Depths/Hexmage combo but many potential viewers are not familiar with it. A useful deck description and tags should be added befor marking a deck as "unloved" ... your deck might have gotten no attention for exactly this reason!

I literally cannot reason why this deck plays white: Please drop the white immediately, it adds nothing to the deck; play green instead.

Deck needs (assuming it wants to be modern legal):

4 Ancient Stirrings - Gets lands, and gets them quick (notably non-basics)
2- 3 Sylvan Scrying/expedition Maps - Gets lands (notably non-basics)
Consider Shred Memory as a transmute/tutor for Vampire Hexmage if you don't want to fork out for other better tutors.

If its not legality bound, run:
4 Crop Rotation - Gets lands, and gets them the best
2 Petrified Field - returns lands; see also starting to force opponents choices with Realms Uncharted
2 Realms Uncharted - Gets Thespian, Petrified Field, Dark depths, and say Urborg/Coffers, depending on the situation
[some quantity] Life from the Loam - An amazingly efficient engine that digs up lands faster than crucible, and importantly, dredges to dig through your deck faster for lands.
Cabal Coffers - Synergy with Urborg to generate a boat load of mana VERY quickly.

In black green, you also get the benefit of cards like Pernicious Deed, which will allow you to keep your opponents down while you assemble the relevant pieces, and also relevantly, Marit Lage will survive the Pernicious Deed going off.

Holy shit... Check back in a couple of days.
To answer your initial question, I had all the white cards laying arround.
