I like this deck. Elvish Piper is a classic. Lovely little Elf Shaman. I am guessing with the Archers and Recluse you are playing against people who use cards with flying?

Take out Death's Presence. Take out Archers. Add in 4 Llanowar Elves.

I would have a search engine for Elvish Piper. I mean, you need a way to get the card in your hand every game. Fauna Shaman would do that. She cost 2 mana. Tap her and 1 green mana, discard a creature card, and search your deck for Elvish Piper and put it into your hand. In theory, if you have her in your opening hand, you can have Elvish Piper in your hand by turn 3. You can also Tap Fauna Shaman, after you have got Elvish Piper in play, and search for your powerhouse cards to put into play via Piper. I definitely recommend running 4 copies of her in this deck.

Help out guys! What do I need to add? Counterspells? Mana ramp? More protection from creatures? A way to get back Donate from my graveyard? Help out and I will try to return the favor with one of your decks!

Just made it. Tell me what you think.

Thought of doing a blue/black deck with Donate? Your deck has given me ideas! Run Donates. Grandeurs. Abyssal Persecutor. Colfenor's Plans. Nefarious Lich. Will send a link after I build it! Give me pointers!

I have lost myself to the old Donate/Grandeur deck. Very mean stuff. And you, my friend, just took it up a notch.

You do have a lot going on here. All good. You using Donate/Grandeur is just one win condition. You are using stuff like Bazaar Trader and Puca's Mischief to trade your creatures like Steel Golem, Bronze Bombshell, Rust Elemental. You give to them creatures that hurt them and you take from them their creatures that will also hurt them.

I very much like the design.

Thought Lash would work in this deck. It is slow, but it would work. Cards I am not feeling: Would add in Fog Bank and take out Hover Barrier.

Also, I like running 4 copies of Donate: Grandeur, and Steel Golem in this deck. Would suggest taking out Jinxed Idol for some of those cards.

Really digging this deck!

Does your group play 40 cards? Neat.

Maybe Boon Reflection?

Tolarian Academy?

People, give advice! I will do the same for your decks.

I disagree, Leolins, I have lost several games to the Nihil Stone...I never have lost to anyone playing The Rack.

Two easy changes I see, that might help. Take out the Pyromancer's Gauntlet and Staff of the Flame Magus. Add in two Furnaces of Rath, or maybe two more Guttersnipes.

My bad. I give out bad advice, more often than not, lol.

Tasty stuff!

Mogg Fanatic lost his powers when they changed the rules. You use to be able to block a creature with him, and then sac him to do damage also. Now you have to choose. You can't do both. It makes him weaker.

And Mogg Maniac is often overlooked. But he does not work with Goblin Grenade...i do not think, because you are sacking him to do 5 damage, for the Grenade...so he does not do 10 damage for one Grenade.

However, add something like Skirk Fire Marshal with Mogg Maniac...and he is deadly!

He did have 8 Islands, he changed them.

Or...Skullclamp, think it is banned. It would be a very good card in this deck. Speed the deck up.

Ultimately, you need some major draw spells. You will empty your hand very quickly. I would recommend Stroke of Genius.

Neat idea. Not practical...but neat!! Did not know about the Kobold guys!

Good job. Blue and red decks can be quite aggravating to play against. I don't think I would love to play against this one.

By the way, nice freaking combo with Bitterblossom and Contamination. I have had a copy of Contamination since Urza Saga came out, and was never able to find a way to properly use it. Nice.
