Is there too many cards that give away my cards?
Do I need to add control/counter/destruction cards?

Build it and the will come :)

A deck requested by dkrocka.

Hope you like!

Will do the Wall of Souls
It is chump blocking excellence.
Opponent will want, very much, to get rid of Sleeper Agent...and attack EVERY turn with it.
I will punish him for doing so.

But what to add, old friend?
Delirium is solid.
Wall of Bone
Wall of Souls
Festering Wound

So, in theory, If one of my creatures have 3 +1/+1 counters on him.
My opponent cast a spell that puts 1 -1/-1 counter on him.
Result is he has 2 +1/+1 counters instead of 3 +1 counters and 1 -1 counter?
Interesting!!!

Nice. What about Wall of Souls to block Sleeper Agent?
Or Festering Wound to put on one of opponent's creatures?
Thinking very much of removing the Eidolon cards.

Wait, huh? I suck with rules, as often stated.
Can you state that again, for an idiot to understand? :)

When it came out, everyone ran 4 of them. Now...even tourney decks...are only running 2 or 3 Thoughtseize.

Can't find room for it.
So many anti-flying cards around, and only a few spaces available in the deck.
But thanks for liking, and taking the time to look over the deck!

Will make a Cultural Exchange deck soon.

Yep, no problem :)

Glad to see Sleeper Agent getting some play.

Added one Recluse for 1 Bow.

Thank you!!!

Will have to try to find room for it.
:(

Thanks.
It isn't the greatest deck ever.
But it is neat.
And will definitely leave my opponent scratching his head, as I give his creature Air Bladder, for the first time.
Then he will smile when I nuke it! :)

Sorry. Now you make me feel like a jerk.
No hard feelings, okay?

You are right...there are a lot of decks on the Hot Pages that suck.
Self admittance-that includes some of my decks.
And true, this deck is a one trick pony that WOULD LOSE to a lot of decks on here with 0 likes.
I will admit that too.

That doesn't mean I don't plan my decks out. That I don't spend hours and hours trying to come up with something neat (like you do!). Sure, this deck won't work every time...or even half of the time...but it still doesn't take away the hours that I spent searching out cards/ideas/combos.

And I do see the Hot Pages more often than a lot of people, and I can see where that would piss people off.
Some people have been on here for 3, 4, and 5 years, with no Hot Decks...and they should of been!! Looking at your decks, several of them are just as good if not better than this one.
Again, I will admit that.

However, I have 4000 more comments than you.
I earn what I get.
I go, daily, to other decks and suggest ideas/cards/combos/tips to make decks better.
Everyday.

"Im just hoping to find people who think like me and want advice on decks that might actually see play."
Here is another self admittance. When I started on this site, I had the same feelings!!!
I thought to myself, "Same shitty decks, using the same shitty budget, with ONE win condition, how weak!!!"
I complained to people about it too.
It got me nowhere.

Even my best friend, who showed me to this site QUIT coming here for the same reasons!!
I still can't get him to come back on here.
He says, "You want me back on Mtg Vault, sure, are all the shitty budget decks gone? I like the idea of budget decks, but if the deck is budget just to be budget, that it is pure crap. Are those decks gone?"
I answer no, and he says, "Then, I am not going back on that site then. Not until they get serious again and have tourney quality decks on there."

He feels you and I feel you.

Another Issue. I have 100 decks on here, man.
You know how hard it is to make a deck after 100 decks?
After you have made all of the solid, winning, capable, tried-and-true decks...you sorta of run out of ideas...and start to become a Johnny player/deck builder.

Want to know something else?
A part of me sold out. A little.
I realized that the type of decks you and my friend Hank want on here, aren't going to make it. And the few that do are damn near carbon copies of Tourney decks.
So I was stuck with this dilemma:
1) Stop going to this site
2) Start liking/commenting on all of the carbon copy decks, which I hated
3) Start making every single deck budget because they get the likes, which I hated
4) Or, find my niche. Where I fit in. I thought, "Well, if I don't make want to stop coming here AND I don't want to make the same tourney decks everyone else does AND I don't want every deck to be budget THEN I have to try something different.

These types of decks I came up with.

Combo decks that people like

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/mutant-ninja-turtle-in-magic/
Original decks that do not often work, but very damn creative and fun to look at

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/2-mana-challenge/
Again, original ideas that people might get behind.

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/m15-frog-tribal-is-possible/
Same deal.

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/the-hero-who-kills-gods/
Same deal. Almost exactly. Instead of giving opponent's creatures flying then kill them I pump them up with offense, and then kill them.

I started to focus on Challenges, where everyone got noticed/comments/views on their decks.
I started to focus on Theme decks, neat and different.
I started to focus on Johnny decks.

South Park, love it, not feeling the new season though.
I am Lorde....yah yah yah.

To end my rant, you are right on most accounts!!!
And I do not disagree.
You have all justification to rant and feel aggravated.
I feel you.
I really do.
And maybe I am a sale out...for not making more solid decks.
For trying, maybe too hard, to make something different..even if it isn't a game winner.

Truce, friend?

Changed the Archer to the Recluse.
The extra 1 defense might come in handy!!
Thanks, friend.

Yeah, you nailed it...already have enough cards that kill flyers.
But thanks for the suggestion!
And the like.
