If possible, I may be able to persuade him to replace Rakdos, Lord of Riots with Ashenmoor Liege, but it wont be good for me since I'll be the one versing this deck.

Well in truth I've managed to get a large number of people to start playing MtG at my school, and this is a deck for one of my new friends. Reasonably basic cards, nothing too complicated, all within a budget of $30.00 USD. As much as I REALLY want to add Ashenmoor Liege, I will have to consult my friend first about it. Do you think their's anything else I could change in this deck? I'm looking for a substitute for Fists of the Demigod, it plays too slow in an aggro deck, have you got any ideas?

I would think adding more land would benefit this deck

Goblin Electromancer?

are you sure you'd be safe with 18 lands? I wouldn't want to risk getting cut short with mana problems.

Yeah chalice is $7, a bit too expensive for this unfortunately.

Say, would you mind checking out a deck I really need advice on?

agreed.

Yeah Northy should help you out he knows what hes doing

For now, I think I'll just swap Despise for Duress, to get rid of those F'ing Ensnaring Bridges and Oblivion Stones.

They all use the same cards, and I can't handle all of this frustration from doing this. Stuff like Ensnaring Bridge, Dark Confidant, Tarmagoyf, all the deck use cards like that and all I have is some Terminates and Hellriders, by turn 4 the opponent should be on >10 health but they always end up playing something that makes my creatures useless and then all I have are some Blightnings which are already useless since they have an Ensnaring Bridge out and so they have no cards in hand. I ask them if they would mind using a deck better suited to this deck's budget, but all I get are "F off" and "Get F'd" so I really don't know if this deck will be going anywhere anytime soon, I know that I wont.

Whenever I play this deck, my creatures never seem to get the damage in on time, and then the opponent plays some big creature, big planeswalker, big artifact and I just give up from frustration. No one wants to verse this deck with any deck under $1000, and since this deck is only worth $30, its no real fair game and I don't stand a chance at playing this deck. I can't work out whats wrong with this deck, maybe the problem is the decks I'm versing, either way I'm momentarily frustrated and can't think straight, I feel like punching someone in the face.

I wouldn't say this deck has an exact weakness, just more that this deck isn't great. After testing this deck, it failed a lot more than I was hoping, and I can't exactly work out what's wrong with it.

say, would you mind checking out a deck for me? i really need some help with it.

Here are some more cards that may benefit this deck:

-Doubling Chant (Just another Insta-Win card in this deck.)

- Echoing Courage (If you were going with the Timberland Wolf idea, this card would be a usefull addition.)

-Gigantiform (Not sure if this would work with copying cards, but if it does then this card is CRAZY!!!)

-Timberpack Wolf (Of course, you've already spoken about this and I must say that using that card is a good idea.)

-Alpha Authority (Giving cards like Biovisionary Hexproof is always good.)

-Asceticism (This is an awesome card, and I am telling you this: YOU NEED TO USE THIS CARD. No, seriously, in a deck like this, Asceticism is SO awesomely amazing. This card pretty much enables you to win the game, no problems with the opponent destroying your only Bio, because they can't even get to it! I love this card!

For now, I also must tell you to remove Clout of the Dominus from this deck, as giving your creatures Shroud means that you wont be able to target them with Copy cards, which is a big chunk of this deck. I think I'm all pooped out now, I really do hope I helped.

Ok, I've gathered a list of the best spells that make copies of stuff:

-Cackling Counterpart (I can see you've already spoken about this card, and I have to agree, it is a card that will help your deck get to the point quicker plus you can flashback it if you manage to get the mana. I think this would be a nice addition to this deck.)

-Fated Infatuation (This is a really good card with the Scry ability and the fact it's an instant, but the problem is the risk with the mana. If you could work on your land base, add some more dual lands to almost guarantee the 3 blue mana you need, I would definitely recommend this card.)

-Phyrexian Metamorph (This has to be one of the better copy cards, since this can work with any color deck and only cost 3. In addition to that, this card can also target artifacts, which isn't so necessary in this deck. This is still a very good card, and you would be smart to use this.)

-Polymorphous Rush (I see this card as more of a game winner in this deck more than anything. If you could manage to get the mana to copy enough creatures, then this is definitely a card to look at. Anyways, this card is much better than Cytoshape, so I would remove Cytoshape in place of this card for sure.)

-Progenitor Mimic (This is a good card for what you are trying to do, but possibly a little slow, since you will be getting it out turn 6 and only getting one copy each turn. Putting that aside, however, with all of the copying you should be doing by the time you play this card you should only need to wait 1 or 2 turns to win. Overall, this is a good card you could add.)

-Renegade Doppelganger (This is a cheap creature that can easily win you the game a turn quicker, since with all of the copies coming in, this will almost always be a copy of Biovisionary, and since this only costs 2, I don't know why this wouldn't be a snug addition to this deck.)

-Rite of Replication (Not much to say about this card, other than if you could manage to get the mana for the kicker, then you've won. If not, you still get a copy of Biovisionary.)

-Stolen Identity (I feel like this is an overlooked card, but with Biovisionary, when you play this card turn 6, you get a copy, then attack and deal damage, get another copy. By now, you have at least 3 Bio's and should already have one from the copying. This is a good card.)

-Followed Footsteps (Just like a Progenitor Mimic, only you are getting it a turn earlier.)

-Infinite Reflection (This has to be one of the best cards to combo with Biovisionary, for as long as you have at least 1 Bio out and any other 3 creatures, you'll win the game. I would definitely add this if I were you, Jessie.)

So, as far as I am aware, these are the best copying cards you could use for this deck, I hope this helped. Now, off to find some more cards that could help you out.

Even if it does come in an intro deck, I would be expecting it to be more around the $4+ dollar mark

Yeah I suppose that sorin's thirst suits the flavour better

Ahhhhh, that's better.

Yeah, I love brute force. I think I just liked your deck twice, also. Hmmmm...
