You see I wouldnt put the leyline in this deck either, The leyline is a good card you should build a deck around, but if the deck isnt built around it then it wont be very useful. In this deck it'll hurt more than help him, especially if he downs all his creature to having less of each copy in the deck. This deck will excel with his creatures out, he doesnt need to minimize how many jaces phantasms, hedron crabs, and wright of precinct six he has out.

It might be a good idea to not use tome scour, cause I wouldnt take out the sculps either for it, haha it's a tough decision. Have you thought about duskmantle guildmage?

I'm not saying the leyline is bad, it's just not the right card for this specific style I play i this deck. The leyline more or less will slow the game down and that's not really something I need to worry about. This is a aggro deck, I mill in it yes, but I win 75 percent of the time by damage. That being said I need my copies of jaces phantasm and such to beat the opponent down as quickly as possible. If my opponent plays something I take as a serious threat I can return it with vapor snag. In this deck my opinion is that the leyline will be wasted space in the sense that I wont need it out and it will hurt what I need to do too much. I can rebuild the deck around the leyline but then it wouldnt be this decks concept, and I play aggro better than I play control =]

I would loovveee to add him but i dont own any and dont wanna fork the money out to get some ya know? :/

I dobt know about replacing hedron crab, its a really good 1 drop that has that continous mill effect which is great

Ya i really like that new instant alot! But this deck produces such large quantities of tokens populate wouldnt realy be needed

I really really wish I had some felidar soverigns haha, I love that card and would most likely make room for one in here if I did own one. though I would probably make a specific new deck just for him =p as for rune-tail, He's neat but I use him in another deck that he is way more effective in.

If you can acquire some I would recommend you definitely add Glimpse the Unthinkable instead of the tome scours, if you cant get those then tome scour might not be too bad to throw in haha. As for adding green, this is simply my opinion but I like sticking to 2 colors, especially in a deck like this. If you think you can effectively run a mill deck fast enough with a third color, give it a shot but I think the third color might slow it down and mill decks need to be as fast as possible.

I do agree it's risky, but you just have to use the swans correctly and smart. I won't block with him against anything smaller than 3 or 4, there is no point in allowing them draw 2 or 3 cards because that would be more advantage for them than me. but blocking 5 and up will save me because no damage can hurt him and making them draw 5 or more cards will really go more towards my advantage, although it is risky, i believe it's worth the risk, not to mention it's a pretty nice attacker.

Great looking deck =] I have a few suggestions for you, look into ghost quarter, it'll allow you to use archive trap for free while at the same time getting rid of a land which will benefit mind funeral. Also I would take out 2 wright of precinct six or mortivore and add in the 2 sword of body and mind to your main deck I think that would improve your deck quite a bit.

I like having some creature removal in a deck but in a mill deck it's not quite as important simply because your creatures are things like fog bank and can stop most all creatures from hitting you, so maybe if you dont want to drop your wrights or mortivore drop 2 go for the throats for the swords.... either way =]

But anyhow I like it

Wickeddarkman I appreciate your suggestions, but the leyline of singularity is not gonna work in the least bit in this deck. If I were to ditch out pretty much all my creatures other than a few single copies or double copies for a spell heavy deck then I might run it, but that would completely change this deck. This deck is intended to be creature heavy. The spell part to this deck is essentially just to support what my creatures do, although milling the opponent out is a win condition, This deck generally wins by damage.

Soulofmirrodin you hit the nail on the head creature heavy being a Big no to the leyline, and about adding mindcrank . I've actually planned to get a playset of those along with duskmantle guildmage for the infinite kill combo aspect. Just another way to win for this deck, and another thing for the opponent to worry about. I do want to keep swans of bryn argoll, they are way more effective in this deck than you'd think, it's a playing creature that can't die by damage, and it effectively mills the opponents by drawing. Wright of precinct six is an idea... I'll keep that in mind, maybe play test with it before I add in it for sure. Thanks for your input

Aggro and tokens are my strongest deck type to build =] mix them together and I'll make a great deck, this one has proven to be more than effective, this deck can win in so many ways and quickly at that.

If you are going legacy like serious tournament legacy, drop the rewinds and add in force of wills instead... that is of course if you already own them or are willing to drop 50 dollars a card for them haha =]

I'm glad someone else knows the worth of personal sanctuary. I have a deck too that utilizes it's worth, If you want anymore ideas for this deck look into my spellshock lockdown deck. Very very nice deck =]

It's pretty amazing if you have all of these cards for the deck, but why spend that much money on a deck you can only play casually, You should at least try to make it vintage legal and try your own at a tournament sometime. If you want to keep it casual that's quite a price. I know making it vintage legal would really hit this deck hard with changes, but at least it wouldn't be so overwhelmingly illegal and unfair because of such.... But either way, if you actually own the cards you can make it as you will cause you're the lucky one with the power nine and I am not haha interesting deck tho

not so sure about gate of aether, but everthing else is looking pretty nice. Tezzeret the seeker might be a good substitute for gate of aether. Also maybe even check into darksteel juggernaut.

Join the ranks is way too expensive for a token generator, just use something simple like gather the townsfolk or flayer husk

Add something like semblence anvil instead of quicksilver amulet. Quicksilver wont do too much in here, other than arcbound overseer nothing is very expensive. At least with semblence anvil most your artifact spells will cost 0 to cast. Also why do you have darksteel reactor in here, even with energy chambers out it will be more than 10 turns minimum before youd win with that, and as this deck is set up you shoukd be able to take the win with your arcbound creatures every game before the reactor would. Most all players would probably beat you if you havent won in 12 to 15 turns, hell most players will win before turn 10 easily, thats a pretty long game. I think you could find a better fit in this deck other than the quicksilver amulet and darsteel reactor.... but otherwise, you can't go wrong with everything else in here, steel overseer with arcbound creatures is one of the meanest things you can do in an arcbound deck =]

I read the new article, great job. Solid explanations, and I love how you show people who read it that there is always many different directions you can go with each style of play. Reanimate isn't just black, aggro doesn't stick to just red... ect.. Keep up the good work, I enjoy the articles

haha pretty much I draw cards like crazy using faithless looting, ichor wellspring, and wild guess. I will always come across 1 or 2 trash for treasure because of this. Trash for treasure is the only reanimate but I draw them quite a bit. Elixir of immortality is to rejuvenate my reanimates. Worse comes to worse kuldotha forgemaster for the instant pull and kuldotha phoenix for the reanimate effect in itself. I've reanimated every game Ive played so far by turn 4 at least because of the huge amount of drawing i do. haha if that helps you get an idea
