Mana Web. Classic.
I actually own 4 copies.
Yummy card.
+1 for trying to use Mana Web WITHOUT green cards/elfs/mana.

Added to Sideboard. Thanks.
I want to build a budget extraction deck.

Something like this.
Turn 1. Tome Scour
Turn 2. Mind Sculpt
Turn 3. Dark Ritual into a Haunting Echos.
Good game.
But something like one counter or redirect spell could kill me.
Right call with something like Mana Leak! Thanks.

Sorry everyone. I have been extremely busy with college.
Basically on my last 3 weeks of class and still have 1 class to pass.
Promise will get to making decks soon!

I think it is tomfoolery, and I like it!
It looks very fun to play.
Only flaw I see, if any, is the threat of not being able to draw into a Parasite early in the game.
A search engine may be needed to find him in the deck. Not essential though.

Question, you are using the Absorb Vis mainly as a way to fix your mana, right?

Good ideas floating around.
Spot on with the Shroud making it to where Crytoplasm is not used to his full potential.
Whatever your choice, I do know that your opponent will target Constable immediately. It helps if he is protected.

Good luck!

Another card, not modern though, is Wall of Tears.
Wall of Tears destroys fast creature decks/aggro decks.
Plus, when you block their creature with Wall of Tears...and force them to have to return their creature to their hand, if Warped Devotion is in play...it is brutal!

Why that blue wall?
There are better blue walls.
Was curious as to why you picked it.

I mean, why not Fog Bank or Wall of Frost or my favorite, Wall of Tears?

Is it the built in bounce ability that you picked it?
You are one of the most interesting deck builders on here, so was curious.

And, p.s., you need something to protect your Constable. Shroud. Hexproof. Something.
First thing I would do If I seen you play Constable is nuke him with something like a Terror.

Yes, the Constable!!! Not sure why he doesn't get more play!

Bounce for the win!!!

My favorite deck I personally own is a Constable deck.
Dirt cheap. 15 bucks. And it is brutal. Undefeated.
Usually, on the 5th turn (sometimes 4th) I bounce every land my opponent has on the board.
The next turn I bounce every other permanent they have on the board, and they quit the game.

Anyways, yeah, I like it. Consider Urza's Guilt. And Wash Out. And Recoil.
I don't think Urza's Guilt and Recoil are modern though. They are nice with Warped Devotion.

Don't take it lightly when surewhynot says that you are an "outstanding" Extraction player. He is probably the best Extraction player on here.

It sucks, as he will tell you, that most extraction decks are pricey.

I failed at making one...a few months back.

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/100th-deck-combo-destroyer/

Stuff like Extirpate, Surgical Extraction, Bitter Ordeal are brutal.
I tried to mill my opponent with stuff like Tome Scour and Mind Sculpt...then extract the stuff with the Extirpate/Extraction/Ordeal cards. With all the shuffling I put in Cosi's Trickster.

Anyways, yeah, take surewhynot's compliments as a job well done.

Very much agreed. Be best friends with your enemy. Absolutely. If you suck at making a black deck...play against a great player with a black deck. Clone it. Proxy it. Learn to see how he was so successful. It will make you better at building black decks PLUS enable you to better prepare against the black deck.

I think this is very nice information, Puschkin. Good stuff. Especially with the given examples. Perhaps you need to reconsider that teaching degree.

With that said...and to put my two cents worth into the pot...I wish I were better at making the Suicide/Aggro decks.

I think, to a certain point, what you begin playing Magic with...and what you have early success with will dictate what types of decks you lean toward in the future.

Example. Your first two or three decks are aggro decks. You lose with them. Can't seem to make them work. From that point on...you may shy away from trying those decks. Especially if you go from losing with aggro decks to winning with ecowhore style decks, you may shy away from trying to make aggro decks.

Example. Your first two or three decks are midrange decks. You have great success with them. You love and win with them. From that point on...it may be hard to change your state of mind when trying to go back and make an aggro/suicide deck. Tendencies toward saftey/control cards keep popping up in the decks you want to be aggro. I have troubles with that. When making an aggro deck I still find myself trying to fit something like a Naturalize somewhere in the deck.

In my case...my first deck was a huge creature timmy deck. I lost over and over with it. My second deck...my first "true" deck was a Blue Control deck. I beat butts with it. 14 years later I still prefer Blue decks and Control decks. And I suck at making Timmy decks. Same with Black mana decks. I was the worst at making them 14 years ago...and still, to this day, I can not make a good black deck.

Speaking of Timmy decks. I think this would be a great place to mention Timmy, Johnny, Spike deck builders...if anyone has the time to go into details about them.

Would like to buy a pack....keep it unopened, and sale it in about 5 years.

That is a good question. The system is being very weird right.
Here is what I have gathered:
Usually, if it is a new deck (on the first page or so of new decks) and gets 5 to 6 likes, it becomes a Hot Deck.
So...not sure what happened. Is the deck an older deck? If so...that is why it is not hot. Usually older decks that start getting attention go to the "active" decks. New decks with a lot of attention go to the "hot" decks.
