I love tribal decks for less common creature types and themes. For its name sake Id remove the ant queens and up the hives and hornet queen to 4 each. With all of your manna ramp Id say you could scale back the forests a bit and add a second Coat of Arms. You could work in some Unyaro Bee Stings or sideboard them just for fun. There is also the exact same card renamed Bee Sting but its part of the portal set. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I completely agree. I have edited this deck many times and the Iso was added back when the deck was more instant heavy. I didnt even notice I had altered the deck and made them obsolete. Ill just maindeck a couple Tomb Scour and look for some new sideboard additions. Thanks again.
I could use some suggestions for edits and sideboard cards. A few friends asked me why I havent maindecked Dream Twist or Tomb Scour. I just think Memort Sluice is more cost effective. 8 mill for 1 cmc and a couple creature taps over 6 mill for 3cmc or 5 mill for 1cmc. Factor in running four and thats half a deck milled for 4 cmc and 8 creature taps not to mention that the cost effectiveness adds to greater numbers of multicasts. Thankfully many of the wizards Im using have static effects regardless of being tapped(need to rule check this). Friends have also asked why I dont just run all three or two out of the three or whatever. Simple answer is that I want to maintain a smaller quicker deck and compared to the broken abuse cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable, Brain Freeze, and Mind Funeral can dish out, they are a waste of time. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Cut the islands back from 6 to 3 and added 3 Temporal Mastery. With my mana curve topping out at 3 I dont really need a generic 20 mana. I was thinking about removing some Drowned Catacombs but then I realised that do to underground seas nevering ending brokenness and wording it will count towards the catacombs coming in untapped. With a deck heavy in multicasting I couldnt help adding Temporal Mastery for the 2 cmc miracle shot.
Pretty obvious deck. Wizard control (counters, deck stacking, and spell copying) combined with overpowered mill cards. If you have any suggestions on how to better this deck please share. Thanks.
I moved one Shackles and Iona, Shield of Emeria to the sideboard to make room for two Leyline of Sanctity. I only add Iona for her ability and with a nine cmc its a waste of a 7/7 angel since the entire point of this deck is NOT to hurt an opponent in any way. The Leylines would have been main decked at the start but I wasn't familiar with that card. The Leylines are great to protect against spells and effects that would target the player to force an indirect permanent sac or whatever. Hope someone out there checks this out and likes it. Thx for any suggestions people.
I side-boarded the Idyllic Tutors and increased the Sterling Groves from two to four. I want to get out two sterlings so that they protect each other and they effectively have a built in tutor anyway. I thought about dropping two of the Enlightened tutors but they allow me to search for artifacts as well, which comes in handy for the Norn's Annex and Platinum Angel.
I use the Phyrexian Unlife, Melira, Sylvok Outcast combo. Added Sterling Grove and Asceticism to protect the combo, along with Platinum Angel to protect against mill and Iona, Shield of Emeria to stall out any mono colored decks. Norn's Annex was added to protect from aggro and force your opponent to suicide. Elves are used primarily for manna ramp and life gain, but I chose Fauna Shaman to search for the important combo/defense creatures like Melira for the main combo, or what ever you may need. Enlightened Tutor and Idyllic Tutor to search for any combo card your lacking at the time. Finally, Helix Pinnacle for your win condition, so as to avoid having to hurt any opponents. Maze of Ith is combined with Argothian Elder for the unlimited manna ramp for a quicker Pinnacle win or whatever. Hope someone enjoys this.
Muraganda petroglyphs would be great but if you're running combos that include Sporoloth Ancient I wouldn't. If you don't mind getting a bit more away from the saproling them Sigil Captain works good with sap tokens. You could replace the Sporoloth Ancients with Sigil Captains and keep the Muraganda petroglyphs for 5/5 saprolings.
Gotta love Saproling decks. Here is the one I built for a friend. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=245111
