The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck discussion for Oldschool Blue. My first deck.

Tell me what you guys think. This is my first real deck that I made.

It seems pretty awesome.
I think those cards' values were bit lower back then when you created this.

I don't quickly come up with too many cards to suggest, except that Augury Owl COULD be better than Spire Owl. Not much else for now. I'll give you a shot if I figure out something.

Hi Jessie,
I wanted to comment here, on one of your lesser-known decks, rather than comment directly on your Blue is Control, Right? deck for fear a lot of the other people would read it.
I proxy'd this deck at my local comic book store this weekend. It didn't do very well because of the high mana ramp. Plus, they usually had enough creatures, even low weenies, to ping me down 20 life enough times. A few of the better players recognized it as an old-school deck that they saw more of back in the day. They had a few suggestions, but they would SO not make your deck budget anymore so I won't even suggest them.
After a lengthy discussion, we though about taking out all of your creatures and using black vise as your win-con. Adding sphere of resistance and thorn of amethyst would slow them way down also (sure it slows you down as well, but black vise would beat the HELL outta them). Anyway, I didn't make any changes yet. Too busy. We also play D+D and X-wing at the shop too (not to mention I'm trying to change one of my mono-black decks to orzov...). I'll keep you posted regarding that green land destruction deck.

And it wins in 7 turns...with High Tide/Palinchron.

blah to that being too slow nowadays. lol.
Idea is to postpone them with bounce and counters until the 7th turn.

Fyi, High Tide and Palinchron produce an infinite mana to put into Stroke of Genius.
You never fight/use Palinchron except to produce mana.

This deck is a stroke of genius. The only library depletion I ever built was a Tome Scour deck with no defenses. I suck at that archetype.

Hey Jessie. Been a while. Sorry to bother you again, so I chose one of your lesser- known decks to advertise:

http://www.mtgvault.com/tleung84633/decks/control-your-bouncing-breasts/

Just wondering if you had any advice or opinions. Your "best $20 deck on the vault" (cephalid constable) deck was the inspiration for 2 of my decks, the most recent being the one I listed. Keep up the good work with your decks. I like the new EDH ones you put up recently because I noticed you mostly make normal 60s decks. Thanks again man! ;-)

Yep, will check it out.
You saying you actually proxied some of my decks...that is one of the highlights of joining this website.
Yeah...EDH...ugh, those were thrown out as challenges to me.
I do not like making them, lol.

I throw out challenges to people (see: http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/puschkins-card-challenge/)
and they suggest EDH decks and other crazy stuff like Nampo with his Sideboard Switcheroo!

Me again =P

My brain hurts. Too much thinking and too many decisions, so I thought I'd make a no-brainer deck:

nonstop burn. As always, if you got any advice, I'd appreciate it =)
Thanks!
