I positively love this deck!! Oh, my god! This is just so cool, I'd have never thought to make a deck like this. When I see this deck the first thing I think is Darksteel Reactor, but I'm not sure how efficient that card is in tandem with this deck. It would be cool to see though. I also definitely see what you mean about being a slow deck. The countermagic will help a lot, but it's still a bit worrysome. Personally, I might drop the fabricate because you have so many artifact pieces and none of them are absolutely necessary, I feel like it's a bit of a waste of mana for a deck that needs to be as fast as it can. With all of the Titan Forges, Lux Canons, and Golem Foundries, I feel like you won't need to search one out, pluss the draw power of thoughtcast. I might try adding a bit more countermagic if I were you, personally I love "Swan Song" and especially "Spell Pierce", which I view as a more competitive Mana Leak considering how fast modern can be, and the way that spell pierce might allow you to do something early AND leave up mana for countermagic. Anyways, again, I positively adore the deck, it's just so unique!!

Agreed. I might also try "lightning bolt" in leu of your lightning strikes and "Chain Lightning" replacing your shocks. You might be concerned that someone copies your Chain lightning, but if they do, you can always copy it back. Also you might try sideboarding some "Guttural Response" in case you face some countermagic or if someone tries to aetherize your board. There's big concern for cards like "Pyroclasm" and "Anger of the Gods", but unless you splash white and give all your creatures protection from red until end of turn or something like that, I don't see a whole lot of protection you can build against that.

Firstly I just want to say that I have a mana-ramp deck myself and I see a lot of similarities; isn't it awesome to throw out big fatties and watch your opponent struggle with them :)? But, your deck is missing something important: one-drops. A one drop mana dork can help you get to Omanath one turn faster which can be the difference between winning and losing. There are no shortage of cards like "Llanowar Elf", but my favorite ramping one-drop is "Arbor Elf", because it works especially well with cards like "Utopia Sprawl" and "Fertile Ground". I would also consider a "Blossoming Defence" or a "vines of the Vastwood" in case someone tries to kill Omanath, which would instantly lose you all your saved up mana and you'd have to try and rebuild. As a sideboard plan, I'd add a couple "Terra Stompers" because they are efficient threats, but what is noteworthy is that they will do well against a deck filled with counterspells. Other than that, I love the deck! I can't wait to see more!

Firstly, you might want to consider what happens when your madcap experiment deals too much damage... maybe you want something to negate that like finding "Platinum Emperion" instead, or maybe splashing white for a "Hallow"? The other thing you want to think about is counterspells; you would get completely get blown out by those. So maybe try a playset of "Guttural Response" in the sideboard? Other than that, I love it! Keep on keeping on man!

^ agreed. Also, seething song is the only spell you would have to replace to make this deck modern-legal. Manamorphose would probably be a good fit. Also a card to consider would be Vexing Devil... it could combo really well... something to think about.

I might try a couple counterspells if I were you, and maybe an aetherize or two in the sideboard. In the case of fast aggro decks, you'll need some counters to keep yourself from getting hit hard early, and aetherize is a great sideboard option for if you're facing a deck that wants to overrun you with weenies. Love the Silence and the Aegis of the Gods especially though! They're great choices!

oh. Oops. I just saw mutagenic's picture and didn't even look at it, totally forgot it's a phyrexian cost. I take it back; deck name is on point.

Drop-dead gorgeous. I might suggest a couple more pump spells? But I don't run infect so I don't know a whole lot about it. Also, this is just me, but I cringe when I see the title; orzhov is black/white only! Green/White/Black is Abzan. Sorry, I just had to say it or I would go mad. Again, love the deck!

Wow. I love this deck, and I especially love it because it goes off the well-beaten path in terms of deck goals. This deck is super cool, I positively love it!!

I love the idea but in a formal like legacy, let alone vintage, you need to get up to speed in a turn or two flat. Either that or you need to have an abundance of disruption; legacy is an insanely fast format with tons of disruption, and I think this deck would fare pretty badly in a legacy match. Again, love the idea though, and I think if you could adjust this to modern it could be super cool.
