Deck Description

This is a budget (500$ with the side deck for legacy is budget, at least I think ...) turn 1 all in deck. It's a variation of the Glimpse of Nature Storm 0 cost creature deck. It works well enough. You need to be good at evaluating your starting hand. Beyond the Glimpse of Nature draw engine with 0 cost creature spells, the combo lies in Psychosis Crawler (when you draw a card, your opponents lose 1 life) and Leashling (you'll be able to draw more cards than you library can hold). You play those cards with Mycosynth Golem and the arsenal of artifacts you will have in play. If you happen to play a 3 players + game in legacy (I hear they are very common, sarcasm) this deck will shine because you will kill all opponents at the same time.

Note: this deck is a "Ok, so I'll be playing alone for the next 5 minutes, stay a while and watch as I attempt to break the game" kinda deck. therefore, it's not fun to play against, though if you are in need of a win, this will deliver.

How to Play

This is straightforward:
- Make sure you have at least 2 of the 3 following components in your starting hand: Glimpse of Nature, mana to cast Glimpse of Nature (Elvish Spirit Guide, Chrome Mox (not the best option), Lotus Petal, Mox Opal (If you can pull Metalcraft without playing too many creatures), 0 cost artifact creature spells (note: shifting wall will die as soon as it comes into play, but you're still casting a creature spell).
- You can use Gitaxian Probe and Street Waith to help you get key cards. they can also be used during the killing combo part of the deck.
- Play Glimpse of nature and start playing 0 cost creature spells. You want to draw into more creature spells. If you get stuck, Gitaxian Probe and Street Wraith can help. If not, Retract is the key. Play it and return all artifact to your hand, then re play your artifact creatures to draw more cards. Note: playing a second Glimpse of Nature will double the amount of cards drawn, though you might deck youself before you are able to kill your opponents. Another note: the most efficient mana source at this point is Mox Opal. If you use it to cast retract, note that you'll be able to replay it untapped and use its mana on a future retract. It's legendary so you can't have more than 1 on the field, but you can always tap it for mana then play another one killing the tapped one for the legend rule and use the new one for mana. Chrome mox is useful early if you can imprint it, but know that when you retract it it will lose the imprinted card, so use it wisely. You can always disregard the imprint ability when casting it if all you need are artifact on the field for affinity.
- Draw cards until you have Mycosynth Golem and Psychosis crawler. Play them in that order so that Mycosynth Golem can give affinity for artifact to Psychosis Crawler. From that point forward, all cards you draw will make all your opponents lose 1 life. Cast a second Psychosis crawler to double the effect.
- Leashling, with it's ability, will make sure you never run out of cards to draw in your library assuming not more than 1 instance of Glimpse of Nature is running this turn.
- Feldon's cane is failsafe in case your library runs low. Cracking Lotus petals and abusing the legend rule can help put a couple more cards in your graveyard and therefore more in your library.
- Spellbook is there just in case you need to wait a turn without losing your beefy hand. Very situational, but it can also help to cast Mycosynth Golem.

Note on the sidedeck:
- Pact of Negation: if you plan on winning turn 1, it can help counter those Force of Will
- Surgical Extraction: makes sure your opponent doesn't play more Force of Will
- Noxious Revival: if you need to get a card back from your graveyard ... like a Pact of Negation.
- Phyrexian Marauder: If you need more 0 cost creatures.
- Serum Powder: Gives you more options with your opening hand.

Thanks for the positive comments! I can see the community on MTG Vault is as good as it was when I stopped posting decks back in 2009.
I checked your suggestions and I'm really digging it. Although the tree of tales is an obvious good card for the deck, I purposefully excluded all artifact lands because I really wanted this deck to be a 0 land deck. You know, just for kicks :P

I get it, I tried to make landless decks before it's quite difficult to get it work. maybe use another draw card?
