Wait...what?!
I get to be the first person to like one of your decks, Northy?!
People flock to your decks so fast, I am amazed I could give you the first like. :)

With Red/Green...and with your win conditions...maybe add in some Bloodrush creatures.

Soul Barrier is the card that destroyed me, in my first and only Tourney.
Back in 2001.
Friends, at one of their houses staying over for the night.
8 people. 2 on 2
I made it to Semi-finals.

I had a blue control deck.
Opponent had a blue control deck WITH Soul Barrier.
It slowed me down, way too much!
At least the guy that beat me with it, lost in the Finals to a Mono Red Sneak Attack deck.

Donate.
That is the card.

Turn 4. Play Illusions of Grandeur (gain 20 life)
Turn 5. Pay 2 mana for upkeep to Grandeur. Pay 3 mana to play Donate.
Donate the Grandeur to opponent
Turn 6. Boomerang the Grandeur. Opponent loses 20 life.

Good game.

Puca's Mischief works too.

So, answer:
Donate
Puca's Mischief

Oh...shit...come on, Kazzong, how was I to know her age?
Now I sound like a pervert...lol.
Sorry.

Wait...a 10 year old playing Mtg?
Wow, not only do I feel old...but I am amazed!
She will be a Tourney Champion before she is 15!

Abjure rocks, in this deck, by the way!!!
I see what you did there!

Has TOO many 1 and 2 copies of cards.
However, I did see Contaminated Ground.
I thought of doing it when first making the deck.

4 Contaminated Ground
4 Psychic Venom
4 Copy Enchantment
4 Clever Impersonator
-----------------------------
16 Cards that make opponent lose 2 life for every land tapped!
Add in Mana Web, and laugh!

Maybe Mana Web is only against an opponent.
Can't see anywhere else, that says otherwise.
Again, I made the 4 Winter Orb and 4 Mana Web deck, back in the day.
And Winter Orb is probably why I assumed you needed mana producing creatures!

I have never built a 3 color deck. :(
Mostly been scared of not drawing what I need and mana issues.
All the high dollar fetchlands pretty much fix the mana issues.
You could put lots of draw spells and tutor spells to fix the "being scared of" issue of not drawing what you need.

I probably should try!

Regardless, the deck, good sir, looks very mean!

Now, that is pure evil.
I took out the Spreading Seas for Psychic Venom
Still inspired by you, Zaklax13!

4 Psychic Venom
4 Copy Enchantment
4 Clever Impersonator
-----------------------------
12 Psychic Venom.

Psychic Venom, Enchant Land, whenever the land is tapped, it deals 2 damage to opponent.
So...Play Venom on your opponent's land, then clone it with Copy Enchantment and Clever Impersonator.

Say, what if your opponent doesn't tap his lands, because he is a smart ass?

Mana Web!!! (And Power Sink and Dream's Grip doesn't hurt, either)

Check it out!

Grixis Control...I keep hearing/seeing "Grixis" and I have no idea what it is.
However, looking at this deck, it is a list of "who's who" of mean cards!
Dark Confident and Snapcaster Mage in the same deck, yucky!

Lots of spells to benefit from Mage.
Lavamancer keeps doing damage with all of the instant/sorcery cards going into the graveyard.
Dark Confidant is going to keep cards in your hand...and with everything, smartly, costing so little mana...he isn't going to hurt you too much.

Good stuff.

The Legacy version of Conclave.
Yep, me too.
Have 4 of them, in real life.
Blue rocks with control and spells...but suffers from good creatures.
Conclave helps with that!

Wait a second...Spreading Seas. Holy Crap!
4 Spreading Seas
4 Copy Enchantment
4 Clever Impersonator
---------------------------
12 Spreading Seas!
Then add in
4 Boomerang
4 Eye of Nowhere

Your opponent won't be able to play anything! Bounce their lands and turn the ones you don't bounce into Islands, in which they can't use! Maybe add in some Island hate or Islandwalk!

I love when people inspire me!!!

Not sure where to put it though!
But yeah, that is a great idea.

Clever Impersonator and/or Copy Artifact/Copy Enchantment brings so much opportunities to the table!
I just found Impersonator today, and I can definitely see why he is over 10 dollars a piece!

*******************************************************************************************************

Close to the same Idea. Run a Green/Blue deck.
Run Spreading Algae
4 Spreading Algae
4 Copy Enchantment
4 Clever Impersonator
---------------------------
12 Spreading Algaes (and they keep returning to your hand like Rancor)
Now only add a way to make their lands swamps...like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
Or Reef Shaman

Fun times!

And search out Slow Motion.
Right?
12 Slow Motions with Mana Leaks, Power Sinks, Spell Pierce, Force Spike.
More fun times!!

How does this sound as a start to a new deck:
4 Spreading Seas
4 Slow Motions
4 Clever Impersonator
4 Copy Enchantment.
It would wreck their mana base!

Built a deck for your sister?
Umm...how hot is she, again?
I mean a chick that plays Mtg?!

I like that Jalira actually gets rid of your Aura Thief/Academy Rector!

Mind checking this one out?

Does this work, if so, please check out the link?
In return, as per usual, I will check out any deck that you would like advice/support/comments on.

I have 5 Islands in play.
In hand I have: 1 Treachery 1 Clever Impersonator 1 Copy Enchantment

My opponent has a 5/5 a 4/4 and a 3/3 creature.

I try to do this:
Tap 5 Islands to Play Treachery on the 5/5. Steal it. Untap 5 Islands.
Play Clever Impersonator (targeting Treachery) and target the 4/4. Steal it. Untap 5 Islands.
Play Copy Enchantment (targeting Treachery) and target the 3/3. Steal it. Untap 5 Islands.

Does that work, did I just steal 3 creatures of my opponents, and end up with 5 untapped Islands...in which to use with Bounce/Control/Counterspells?

Again, if that works, please let me know!

Here is the game I envision in my dreams:

Opponent:
Turn 1. Forest. Plays 1/1 Elf.
Turn 2. Forest. Plays 2/2 Elf (you Boomerang one of his lands). He attacks for 1/1.
Turn 3. Forest. Plays 3/3 Elf (you play Propaganda and he can't attack), taps out of mana. He can't attack.
Turn 4. Forest. Plays 4/4 Elf (you play Impulse drawing a card), taps out of mana. He can't attack.
Turn 5. Forest. Plays 5/5 Elf, taps out of mana. He can't attack.

On Turn 5 you play your 5th Island.
You play Treachery on his 5/5 stealing it. You untap 5 lands.
You play Copy Enchantment (copying Treachery). You steal his 4/4 creature. You untap 5 lands.
You play Clever Impersonator (coping Treachery). You steal his 3/3 creature. You untap 5 lands!!!

You have: a 5/5 a 4/4 and a 3/3
Opponent has: a 1/1 and a 2/2

Example:

Opponent:
Turn 1. Forest. Plays 1/1 Elf.
Turn 2. Forest. Plays 2/2 Elf (you Boomerang one of his lands). He attacks for 1/1.
Turn 3. Forest. Plays 3/3 Elf (you play Propaganda and he can't attack). He can't attack.
Turn 4. Forest. Plays 4/4 Elf (you play Impulse drawing a card). He can't attack.
Turn 5. Forest. Plays 5/5 Elf. He can't attack.

On Turn 5 you play your 5th Island.
You play Treachery on his 5/5 stealing it. You untap 5 lands.
You play Copy Enchantment (copying Treachery). You steal his 4/4 creature. You untap 5 lands.
You play Clever Impersonator (coping Treachery). You steal his 3/3 creature. You untap 5 lands!!!

Outcome:
You have: A 3/3 creature, 4/4 creature, a 5/5 creature. And 5 untapped lands (for Counterspell/Boomerang). And Propaganda.
Opponent has: 1/1 creature and 2/2 creature. 4 lands. Tapped out of mana.

Results:
Looks like your opponent is going to have a rough rest of the game.
And you only used 3 of your 12 Treachery cards!
There is still 9 Treachery cards in which to rob your opponent.

I just found it out today.
I might make the deck, with the Treachery. Maybe Peregrine Drake. Or Palinchron.

I really want to do something with this card, but can't figure out yet.
I know you can do justice with it.
Brand new card, but it is already going up in price.

Clever Impersonator. 11 dollars a piece already!

However, look at what the hell it does!!
For 4 mana, he is pretty much a Copy Artifact, Copy Enchantment, and Clone, all in one card!!!!

Think of it like this: (I originally thought of Tangle Wire)
4 Copy Artifact
4 Clever Impersonator
4 Artifact of your choice
-------------------------
12 Copies of any one Artifact!!!

You can have 12 Sol Rings in a deck!
Or you can have 12 of any one Mox.
12 Lodestone Golems with a full deck of Artifacts.
Opposite of Golem, have 12 Etherium Sculptor in play!
12 Master of Etherium, yikes!

Not smart to make it work...but you could have 12 Tangle Wires in play! No one would be able to play anything!

ADD IN Sculpting Steel...and that is 16 Copies of any Artifact!
In theory, a Deck could have 16 Black Lotus in it.

OR
4 Copy Enchantment
4 Clever Impersonator
4 Enchantment of your choice
------------------------------
12 Copies of any one Enchantment

Imagine running 12 Treachery in a deck! Stealing 12 of your opponent's creatures for free!
Imagine your Turn 5. Your opponent has 3 creatures. You play Treachery, then play Copy Enchantment, then play Clever Impersonator! Fun times! When was the last time you see someone steal 3 creatures for free?!

Finally:
4 Clone
4 Cryptoplasm
4 Clever Impersonator
4 Timberpack Wolf
----------------------
16 Timberpack Wolves in your deck!!! That is freaking Rat Territory, there!
In theory, if you had ALL 16 Wolves in play, each one of them would be 18/18.
