Bloody right Batterskull is going in! Haha I have put in the Sword of War & Peace as well. Both very fine additions from New Phyrexia.

You don't need 5 mana you only need 1 mana (although it's not optimal with just one forest). It's a pretty stanard Elf combo. Tap 1 forest, tap 2 devoted druids (that's 3 mana) then put a -1/-1 counter on each druid and untap them. Then tap again for the 5 mana use Ezuri's overrun ability making the druids 3/5 trample (with a -1/-1 counter on them) Just rinse and repeat. The regenerations are just for other elves.
Latest main board changes: +1 Birds of Paradise +1 Omnath, Locus of Mana +1 Avenger of Zendikar +1 Explore -2 Nest Invader -1 Overwhelming Stampede -1 Thrun, the Last Troll Testing this weekend. Hopefully the changes can improve an already pretty decent deck. Sideboard tweaks: 4 x Autumn's Veil 1 x Precursor Golem 2 x Wall of Tangelcord 1 x Thrun, the Last Troll 1 x Terastadon
Tinker is restricted in Vintage and banned in Legacy (As is Sol Ring). Unless this is for casual play you can only have a maximum of 1 of each of those in your deck.
First change: Main Board -3 Plague Myr +1 Swamp / Island +2 Duress Side Board -2 Duress +1 Black Sun's Zenith +1 Spell Pierce Reason for trying changes: Main Board Extra land to help prevent mulligans. Duress because so many control decks at the minute (Everybody playing Caw-Go) Side Board Since Duress coming out of sideboard an extra spell pierce helps in control matchups. An extra Black Sun's Zenith should give me enough removal to deal with aggro now.
Thinking of taking out the Plague Myrs for an extra land and either 2 Duress or 2 Black Sun's Zenith main board. Going to try playtesting it that way to see if it runs better. I do like having access to a turn 3 Vat Mother, Bonehoard and a turn 4 Skithiryx or corrupted conscience though. Also considering changing Spell pierce to stoic Rebutal in the sideboard. Although if I change the Plague Myrs I don't think I will have enough artifacts to consistently have metalcraft so mana leak might be better.
I don't want a typical quest deck because this deck is purely for casual play. If I put in the squadron Hawks I would have to drop 4 other cards and I want to play with the other cards as I think the mono white version of the Quest deck is boring otherwise.
Why are so many people commenting on this deck all of a sudden? This is just a deck for casual play. Really you should check out my other good stuff: Mono white control http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=165620&DeckCommentID=151575 Blue/Black Infect http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=114103 Eldrazi Green http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=113674 Black Red Bloodchief Pump http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=118959 Big Metal Red http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=113668 Extended Elves http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=132949 Or just check out my profile here: http://www.mtgvault.com/Profile.aspx?UserID=47343 Feel free to comment on any or all decks.
Why would I want to use Mimic Vat? I like Mimic Vat but what use is it here? I would rather just bounce my permanents or let them die so that Sun Titan and Emeria can get them back.
Yeah it's my favourite deck at the minute :) I have a few other nice fun decks if you want to check them out. Feel free to comment on any of them.
In your luggage lol
I did give it some thought. Especially after somebody raped me with it in an online game haha. It's just not fast enough here. I prefer the ETB effect the outfitter has over waiting a turn for the brass squire. Gives my opponent a way to deal with him before I get a use out of him. With outfitter I just cast him, attach Argentum and that is usually enough for the win if it is early enough in the game.
Nice deck. Looks to be plenty of synergy here and some really nice interactions. Glad to see somebody has found a decent use of Glisa, Realms Unchartered and Carnage Altar. I love that land doesn't seem to an issue here at all. I totally forgot that Overgrown tomb was both a swamp and forest. Very useful indeed!
Yeah I was playing two Argentum Armor but this deck was nowhere near as good or consistent as some of my other Standard decks so I decided to only use it in my weekly casual play group. That is why I decided to change it up a little bit. Still thinking about adding green for the Fauna Shaman / Vengevine as well.
I like that equipment but it's not as good as the other equipment I run. Plus it won't help activate my quest.
Hilarious! I love knowledge pool. I've seen it used only once before were the guy that played it, kept exiling counter spell cards and thus playing his mox opals and memnites to retrive a counterspells from the pool and countering any spells his opponent played trying to get them into the pool - just for that extra bit of annoyance.
Very nice suggestions but none of them really stood out to me. I'm looking for a name that could catch on. I'm wondering if I should include a card name or mechanic or something like that in the name. Something like 'Emeria Revival' or something like that. Or maybe just use words that somehow represent/define white as a colour.
If anybody is worried about the land in this deck, don't be. I started it out with a modest 24 mountains but had to keep cutting them. It was always too much. Plus there are 23 spells at 2cmc or less.
If you are moving away from infect I think the deck needs to change a bit. You will have to drop the Tainted strikes and possibly contagion clasps. In their place I would use some sort of black control cards like Duress, Mire's Toll, Mind sludge, Inquizition of Kozilek. It's always good to look at your opponents hand and see what they might do next. About the card draw: Sign in blood is probably the best bet for you at the minute. There is Dark Tutelage but you are running too many fatties and not enough life gain for that. Outside of standard there are many awesome black draw spells. Phyrexian Arena is nice and fits the Phyrexian theme if you choose to run with it. P.S. The Phyrexian Chancellor looks awesome!!!
Why use Leaden Myr over Plague Myr?
