Deck Description

I need a better Card for Rune Snag.
My graveyard is shuffled in my lib, so no advantage on this card.

Deck discussion for stormy mine

Not true, more than likely...given you're running 4x Rune Snag & only 2x Elixir, you're bound to see some advantage, & I don't know what you'd run that would do better (other than Force of Will, which I'm sure you're already aware of). Love the synergy between Deadeye Navigator & the rest of your creatures...my biggest concern would be whether you can get him in play in time. Maybe look for a way to cheat him out earlier. +1.

The only one I can think of (in your colours) off the top of my head is Quicksilver Amulet, but there may well be others...if I think of any, I'll let you know! (I lag in Legacy & Vintage, as I don't play them so much!)

Hi, Umoonpuca asked me to drop by. He said " He's looking for a way to cheat in a creature" but I guess I will have to take a shot at the entire deck and things to think about.

* Ways to cheat in creatures ... well, there is Quicksilver Amulet, Natural Order, Elvish Piper and an assortment of other cards, however, if you go that way, you might as well "cheat" something game ending into play like Progenitus, Darksteel Colossus or Emrakul. I don't know if you want to go that way. It's expensive money-wise and it's boring. We want to keep this in theme, right?

* Obvious replacement for Rune Snag would be Mana Leak in Legacy (Storm Seeker makes it Legacy and telling by the name of the deck you intent to keep them, right?). However, in a deck like this you might as well try your hand on Powersink. All of that provided you don't own Force of Wills or Mana Drains.

* I don't see why you run Seat of Synod. You have zero cards that benefit from that land being an artifact but running them means you are now open for non-basic-hate and artifact destruction. I also recommend to not play something like Simic Growth Chamber in a deck with 4 Howling Mines ... you'll need some sort of dualland that doesn't come into play tapped. I don't know what you've got - Hinterland Harbor maybe?

* Ivory Tower should be a better lifegainer in this than those Elixirs. And if you replace those, you might keep the Rune Snags.

* I am a bit confused about the concept ... Icys are usually used to tap that Howling Mine during opponent's turn so that he doesn't draw cards but those Storm Seekers tell me you want them to draw ... you are 2 cards short but instead of sneaking creatures into play I would add something devastating. See, you give your opponents cards and don't have much defenses, any decent deck will just overrun you. But if you add something like STORAGE MATRIX, you can turn this into a nasty soft-lock deck! The trick is that, like Howling Mine, a Storage Matrix can be "turned off" if you tap with Icy at the end of opponent's turn. You untap normally but your opponent can untap only one type of permanents. Bazinga! You will receive much less damage and the opponent will get much less into play. Your Manowars and Mystic Snakes drag the game more and eventually you win. Without this slowdown you will probably just die.

* Black Vise is an obvious addition/alternative to Storm Seeker but it's hard to say what to cut.

* You could use Erratic Portal or Crystal Shard to bounce your creatures back to hand. Would replace the Navigators. Another alternative would be Ghostly Flicker.

Hello Puschkin! Thank you for your ideas and suggestions.

* Ways to cheat in creatures
--> I'm not sure if i rly need this cheat, i will win in long term run ;)

* Obvious replacement for Rune Snag
--> Yes, power sink should be my way, thx.

* I don't see why you run Seat of Synod.
--> prototype portal ;)

* Ivory Tower should be a better lifegainer in this than those Elixirs.
--> elixiers shuffle graveyard into library, thats the reason

* I am a bit confused about the concept ... Icys are usually used to tap that Howling........
--> Icys for tapping the threads i didn't managed to counter or remove to hand

* Black Vise
--> i will run 1 black vise, i do not own more than one.

* You could use Erratic Portal or Crystal Shard
--> don't own these cards.


I will tune it a little in the next days, thank you for your ideas, i will implement most of them ;)

Ah, I had the wrong card in my mind for Prototype Portal ... I confused it with Mimic Vat!

Elixirs shuffle the grave but you don't really need that. Or ... I mean, your plan is win by Storm Seeker/Black Vise damage, right? Not milling? To my experience either you or the opponent will be dead a long time before you run out of cards, even with 4 Howling Mines.

Icy: Of course you can also tap threats, I just think it's too slow for today's cards. That depends on your meta and level of competion of course. Maybe also consider Propaganda. However, I still think Storage Matrix is the card to add if you keep the Icys.
