"your" argument wasnt your argument at all. It was me explaining why Kazzong was wrong in a way you didnt like so you tried to be a hero. This deck is a combo deck with an alternate win condition that attacks your life total with Goyf. You dont have to play shock lands untapped, so you save life that way. Thoughtseize is just too good to exclude from a deck that traditionally runs countermagic, but cannot because of the color shift, so that life loss is the price of doing business. This deck curves out at 4cmc, so Bob is going to hit you for 4, maybe. usually hes going to flip a land, and with Courser out, you know whats coming, so you can plan for it by killing your own Bob if you need to. A lot of people do not post here for advice. you assume that the deck creator 1)actually created this deck, and 2) wants your advice. Both things are possibly untrue. There are very few lists that I post here that I want help on. I use this site as a placeholder for decks I have enjoyed playing in the past, and ideas for future decks. the majority of players on this site are NOT competitive Magic players, and as such, do not have the kind of advice some people are looking for. THIS deck is something I would be comfortable sleeving up for a real tournament. There are a ton of interesting interactions and a few valid win conditions. Someone posts a $1600 Modern deck that you dont understand, so you trash it. There are far fewer holes here than you would like to make people believe. and your joke wasnt funny.

you make a lot of assumptions. you dont like me, dont engage me in conversation. simple as that. you arent some kind of hero, and you arent going to change me, because the opinion of some toolbag on the internet means literal nothing to me. That being said, this thread is getting WAY off topic, and needs to get back on track.
I know exactly how to talk to people. I choose to point out stupidity. I make no claim that I am not an asshole, but I have a low tolerance for ignorance, probably from having to deal with so much of it in the military. You can dislike all my comments if you want. it wont change anything. some people just dont like honesty. you want to know how a card works? ill be happy to explain it to you in a fairly civil manner. tell me Im outright wrong when I am not, and youll get this. its not a big deal to me, and my rep on here doesnt matter at all, so dislike all you want, i am not going anywhere. Have a good one, friend.
look! an internet toughguy! Ill explain this again. real slowly for you. Mobb, get your crayons ready and prepare to copy. Valakut IS worded so that when the 6th mountain enters the battlefield it triggers. SCAPESHIFT is what makes this work. When you Scapeshift, you sac 7 lands, get a Valakut and 6 mountains, which all enter the battlefield at the same time. when Valakut checks for triggers, it sees that 6 mountains entered with 5 other mountains on the battlefield, and sees that for each mountain that entered, and deals 3 damage for each of them. If you want to be ignorant, dont let me stop you, but youre the cunthammer in here talking shit and adding nothing to the conversation, Mobb. I might be an asshole, but at least I know what Im talking about.
cant tell if trolling, or just stupid......
Youre still wrong. The way Valakut NORMALLY works is that you need to play 5 mountains, then play a 6th to start dealing damage. Scapeshift changes the interaction by having all 6 mountains come in at the same time, triggering Valakut for each of them. Sacking 7 lands to scapeshift, getting one Valakut and 6 mountains deals 18 damage. Valakut was banned in Modern because of this, and recently unbanned. As I previously stated....do try to know what youre talking about before you post.
You sac 7 lands, and go get a Valakut and 6 mountains to deal 18, or you sac 8 lands and go get 2 valakut and 6 mountains, dealing 36. both are more than 15. The lands all enter at the same time, and Valakut sees each of them enter, placing a trigger on the stack, assuming you got enough mountains. But nothing happens simultaneously in Magic, right?
And if you knew how Scapeshift worked, this wouldnt be a conversation.
I dont give a shit if you concede the point or not. if you want to continue being wrong, who am I to stop you? Dual lands are NOT basic lands, so no, you cannot search them with Evolving Wilds. Stomping Grounds is, however TWO BASIC land TYPES, Mountain and Forest. You can look up the rulings on your own, or not. whatever. As for your attempt at a jab, my basic math is fine, as is the Builders. 10x3 =30. Maybe you should look up why Scapeshift works, while youre at it.
please know what youre talking about before you post. Shock lands are two basic land types each, just like Revised Dual lands are. Most Valakut decks play 13 mountains, so this one is a little thin, but can still operate just fine. your criticism is not constructive, its ignorant.
Isnt Boros Reckoner just better than Spitemare?
super proud of you for being a douchefuck. add something to the conversation or kick rocks.
please try to know what youre talking about, Kraven
If you venture into black, Spiteful Shadows works really well with Blasphmous Act, often killing your opponent in one shot when combined with Stuffy. I ran a list with this interaction in Innistrad/RTR standard
Jedc, at least I am adding to the conversation. my comment was not condescending at all, it was an example of something that is likely a very common problem. Hero's Podium is literal trash in a deck that has "occasional creatures" and even when the gods are active, the card is just win-more, and doesnt even hit all the gods or actual creatures unless you draw multiples.
the prerelease promos are 15-20 cheaper, as low as $28 on ebay if youre willing to play undesirable foreign versions. My main point, however, is that Polukranos is not a reasonable answer, either.
his other creature should be Emrakul. end of story
You answered a question with ignorance. its not a big deal, and Im not actually a fan of the card, but when you dont know what youre talking about, you should not talk. it keeps everyone happier.
Lightning Bolt is not standard.
yeah, man. cause theres nothing better than drawing multiple legends, right?
