Never played that way.
Sounds very interesting!

You mentioned cost of the Library...and I was going to suggest Mirri's Guile as a sub...but damn, it is costly too. Just checked the price.

Post a link please.
And unhinged/unglued decks are fun!

I want to make a Wordmail/Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental deck.

Turn 1. Play Forest. Play Llanowar Elves
Turn 2. Play Forest. Tap Llanowar Elves and two Forest to play a Our Market Research Shows......Elemental.
Turn 3. Play a Plains. Play Wordmail on your Our Market Research...Elemental! Play something like Rancor on the Elemental.

Outcome = 29/27 trample creature on Turn 3.

Since I just made a Familiar deck, i know that Raven Familiar is also included in Food Chain decks :)

DO NOT mention Infinite Storm or Infinite Mana around Puschkin!
Maybe he didn't hear you mention Storm Combos!!! :)

NO friends in multiplayer!!!
My friends always forced 2 rules with Multiplayer:
1) You only attack either left to right or right to left (the direction would be picked before the game started).
AND/OR
2) You can not attack the same player twice in a row (if one person just attacked him, you can not turn around and attack him again).

Those were our made up rules that we played by.
Issue was...we would have like 5 people play...AND EVERY GAME, it would be an issue of 4 people teaming up against the strongest person. They would kill him. THEN the strongest 3 people would go against the next strongest person...and it would be repeated until the weakest deck/person would end up winning.

That is where "Don't make yourself look like a threat" comes into play.

I agree. Most of the time you can make decks better without having to throw down extra money...but with this deck, as is, don't see it getting much improved without some cash.

Solid deck, there.

Ugh...and more ughs!

Yep, there it is!!!
Not that you would ever want to nuke your Griffin for one mana...but it is a combo.

It is a very complicated card, to me.
The best i could come up with, posted above, would be to run blue draw spells and black creatures.
Then make sure Hive Mind is out THEN start casting Dead Ringers, Festergloom, Reckless Sprite, Wicked Pact.
Now your opponent has to copy those spells. Since all of your creatures are black, they stay safe! But your opponent is being forced to play Dead Ringers on their own creatures. I could see the expression of someone's face if he has 2 green creatures in play, and is forced to play Dead Ringers on himself.

Not white...but blue, it is called Misthollow Griffin.
Although Gild is used to hurt your opponent...technically (not that you would want to spend 3 mana to nuke one of your 4 mana creatures just so you can get 1 mana from it) it does combo.

Case study on how winning Multiplayer:
1) Make yourself look like you are no threat.
2) Use cards that help everybody like Howling Mine and Mana Flare.

Puschkin: "Nothing in this deck is outrageous. You lose a life here and 2 there, then someone sweeps the board and you have no offense anymore, so they don't focus you."
Now go back up and see # 1, ladies and gentlemen, see what he did?
What he did was make it to where he goes unnoticed, let's other people destroy each other, then slides in for the win!

"Oh and you budget fetishists: Take out the Coffers and this is definately BUDGET ;)"
Budget Fetishists...that made me laugh out loud, lol.

Never seen Gild...looks like it turns into a Lotus Petal...neat.
And, not for this deck, but it can combo with stuff like Pull from Eternity, Riftsweeper, and I swear there is a creature (may be white) that can actually be played from Exile. Can't find it, though. Did I dream that up? There is a creature that can be played from Exile...pretty sure of that...I found it out when searching out Flicker/Blink cards.

Out of being curious, how much has Urborg went down?

Decided to post it as is.
I am sure i have about asked for enough help...and need to try more to offer help to you, Puschkin.
Why must you make such tricky decks, though?!
Just make a Goblin deck already so I can suggest Siege or Krenko! lol

Ended up trying to do both small control and overrunning opponent. May not work, as is.

Iffy about running both Familiars that reduce mana cost: specifically the Sunscape Familiar.
Not sure if it is needed considering I have more cards that are white AND Stormscape Familiar already reduces cost of white spells by 1 colorless.

Tell me what you guys think!
Look at the number of postings I have.
I am a nice guy, comment on my stuff and I will comment on your stuff.
And don't be placating. If you hate the deck, tell me. That is what i need. Good advice.

Well, thank you for the pat on the back.

Nope, me neither. Standard and EDH I am clueless with.
I have 1 Standard deck and 2 EDH decks on Magic Vault...out of 78 decks!

Yep, don't have that type of money.

What about you, HokeyPokey, give yourself more damn credit, friend! Maybe not tourney decks, per say, but I like a lot of your decks!
