Deck Description

Think of the children!
Guaranteed to unnerve people on a whole new level.

==Suggestions welcome!==

I've been wanting to create a child-themed deck for a while, but the only card I could find relating to it was Blood Bairn.
Today I discovered Imaginary Pet, and I knew what I had to do.

For your spirit tokens, use this one for best effect:

So, here's a run-down of the deck:
=Creatures
--Blood Bairn: The main focus of the deck. Sacrifice Spirit tokens to these creepy kids for massive damage.
--Cloistered Youth: To transform her or to not transform her, that is the question. She'll probably wind up as food for Blood Bairn anyway, but...
--Emeria Angel: A beacon of light in the dark, she tries to lead your kids down the right path. She underestimated Blood Bairn's hunger.
--Forlorn Pseudamma: Good when the intimidate works. Puts pressure on the enemy and lets you spawn Blood Bairn food. Vampire kids eating zombie kids!
--Imaginary Pet: If you happen to be out of cards, this guy's a good one to drop. Otherwise, he makes good pretend food for Blood Bairn.
--Order of Whiteclay: These wise old men are there to help your kids out if they can't stop that mean ol' Tarmogoyf.
--Puppeteer: Because what kid doesn't like a puppet show? Also combos with Order of Whiteclay and Pseudamomma.
--Twilight Drover: He spawns more little boy spirits.
--Creepy Doll: Every little girl has one.

=Artifacts
--Elixir of Immortality: Eternal Youth, yada yada.

=Enchantments
--Ensoul Artifact: In case you need Creepy Doll to pack a little more punch.
--Spirit Bonds: More spirits are always helpful, and it might save Blood Bairn's life.

=Spells
--Beckon Apparition: Little boy spirit! Yay!
--Lingering Souls: Why are you not just looking at the token?

How to Play

Get a Blood Bairn and Cloudseeder out there. Use Akuba and Imaginary Pet to delay.
Discard as many cards as you can to create faeries.
Swing with Blood Bairn and all your Faerie tokens and sacrifice juuuust enough Fae to overcome your enemy's blocker.
Bottled Cloister and Curiosity should serve to gain you the cards you're losing each turn.

Deck discussion for Budget Tears of Dying Children

I like it, pretty damn clever managing to create a viable 'Child' tribal deck and budget at that too AND modern on top of it all. Kudos.

Guess since it's modern you can't include Little Girl from the un-sets, and Children of Korlis aren't that young either, 'tis a shame.

Hey, thanks! I haven't actually tested this so I don't know how well it works, and to be honest, the budget part was totally coincidental. I'll be copying it over to Tappedout momentarily and running it against some of my other decks, just to see how it does.

Cool idea! Child tribal isn't one I've ever heard of, but I like it.

I don't believe that Imaginary pet returns from the graveyard, would be great if it did, though.

Hm? Oh, no, Imaginary Pet doesn't return from the graveyard. Where'd I write that?

I didn't think that you did. It would be much, much better if it did. I sort of assumed that you thought it did since you were sac-ing it.

Needs 'Water Gun Balloon Game', nothing is more suitable for kids than a giant pink teddy bear.
