Well farseek isn't helping you. You have no lands of the needed types

sheltering word and ranger's guile would be better choices.

God's willing could easily cause the armadillo cloak to fall off.

Seems a bit . . . well it seems like a one trick pony. Also why not shock over galvanic blast? blast is much more expensive.

so tell me about the deck.

indeed pigs are a get out of jail free card.

Looks pretty good. . . is this budget?

SHHHH, thats the point. Of course you can't get it at first, that would make it less funny when you did get it.

well I'm enjoying mself.

i would say $30 but that's semantics. The fact of the matter is that this deck's price tag is a cause of the lands. Atleast I think it is, lemme check. Yeah mostly the land, also might of old krosa and rancor.

2 problems, first you only have 16 lands. second, you have no real win condition if your opponent plays a hex proof thing. I would suggest cutting some of the removal for land, and also putting in a fatty that can kill your opponent. Also there is a duel deck out, you probably already know but . . .

This looks like an awesome budget deck. Well done, maybe include a deadly recluse? for deathtouch ping.

Is ultimate price better mainboard than doomblade? actually given the rampant overplayed-ness of mono-black devotion that is a dumb question. Anyway it looks pretty good, certainly refreshing to see something that isn't just more of devotion and esper control.

Hmmm, well these are my casual decks. We don't really play legacy at our shop, so these are just for when I'm playing new players and when I'm playing large multiplayer games where no-one cares about format. Of course as often as not our multiplayer casual games are EDH games unless we have new players in the shop.

Any reason for mutavault other than a 2/2 beater?

looks like a fun casual, but there are no drops below 4 that you can really afford to block with. Which leaves you really open in the beginning. But you probably know that. . . looks like fun.

I feel like gift of orzhova has a home here, as it would allow you to gain life, which you will probably need since you aren't blocking.

Cool looking budget deck. What's the story behind the one different island?

Free cookies if you can spot all the combos.

I suppose it's just different casual environments are different. The thing is that a decks power is somewhat relative but can be geustimated by the decks cost crossed with the decks legality in certain formats. Afterall powerful cards are more expensive, but a tournament winning standard deck can't hold up against a casual legacy deck that costs half as much etc, etc, I'm sure you know all this. I suppose that a deck like this seems a little powerful for casual is all, with it's total price being so high. I see decks much weaker than this win standard fnm at my local shop, and this deck looks good enough to hold its own modern night as well. That's all. Also you have a sideboard that's pretty legit, which is weird for casual, well again casual where I'm from.
