PoetMaster-X

Here is my standard version: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/reveal-the-end-of-the-maze/

True... ...Junk is strong in standard right now...

I'd only lose it, if I've had no real Thragtusk on board... ...but than again, I could just blink the real one... ...true....... :)

...but if I have at least another token created by the Mimic, I could blink 1 of them & copy the other as it returns, so I'll get the 3/3 token & the 5 life as well.......

The deck is not too fast, but resellient & once I have 5-6 mana, I can do anything.......

I feel like I should have a little more draw & a little more ramp... ...but I donno' how to make it... ...I could take out 1 Terminus & 1 AEtherling for 2 Lantern, but I don't want to... ...may be I could also take out 1 Evolution for a 3rd... ...I'll try it out, but the deck works well as it is now.......

This is modern format... ...it's harder to make it stanard & yet competative.......

This deck has too many lands & not enough control to protect you until victory... ...78 cards is way too much (the less the cards in your deck, the more stabil it gets).......

I like the concept... ...you have a nice idea here, but the deck itselfe is not well balanced.......

The mana curve is high & though you have a good deal of ramp here, you play only 22 lands.......

You should drop Evolution, add a 4th Revelation, a 4th Azorius Charm & a 3rd Ring(I'd rather use Detention Sphere).......

Drop Arbor Elf, put Serenity in the sideboard, than add 2 more lands & 3 Thought Scour(it comboes well with Azorius Charm's "creature on top" ability).......

You should put Simic Charm in the sideboard & add a 4th Mimic, or 3rd Trostani... ...you should reduce the deck to 60 cards!......

Check out some of my decks, if you want... ...I have lots of standard Bant up here, so you might get some ideas.......

Good luck!..

I appreciate your constructive critique!

I cannot see how it's possible... ...both the complection & the mana curve is horrible... ...sorry for sayin'... ...at any places I've ever played, this deck couldn't win a match.......

You need to concentrate on the curve & the synergy between the cards you use... ...also how many you use of each.......

In this type of deck, Serenity is not needed... ...it doesn't fit in here... ...Memory Adept is a horrible choise here... ...Zegana is fine, but only 2 of her... ...I'd rather use Primal Hunter...

You need more Healer & Voice... ...you also need some removal.......

...good luck!..

This is a mass... ...won't work, trust me!.. ...instead, you should do something like miss Detora's version...

Here is my Junk version of Wolf Run: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/junk-wolf-run/

Yes... ...Cloudshift is good with those, but I have a total of 5 creatures that's worth blinking, so I chose not to use either.......

Actually, this is pretty good!.. ...for a mono Black deck in this format today, this is solid!.. ...I can see you know what you are doing, when you construct a deck.......

...check out some of my decks, if you'd like...

Thanks! :)

I'm ok with the number of Jace & Syncopate there, because I have lots of board removal... ...Against aggro, Dimir & Izzet Charm are also good, because they can take out small creatures... ...& Jace is great against aggro, when my opponent has 3, or fewer creatures on board & I don't really give him the opportunity to have more... :)

...sure... :)

"It looks like" a lot more, when you look closely, or try it out...

Those are not the best cards of them 4 colors... ...there is no Revelation for example...

I was thinking: "3-5 life could be such a factor at times, how about 7?.. ...how about 2 mana/7 life as an instant & with Snapcaster to kick it!.. ...plus the other lifegain stuff with blinking... ...also other nice & cheap spells for Snapcaster... ...& Wolf Run is awesome here as well.......

The deck is only experimental, but it's working, though my tournament decks devour it all the time even though it can survive for quite a time...

I think this attempt is just an idea wich is going to give birth to an absolutely different, but yet similar & way better deck.......

Tricks of the Trade is pointless... ...you already have 8 unblockable creatures in the deck... ...I'd change the Huntbeast for Thragtusk... ...why 24 lands?... ...pointless... ...besides, the Gate are rubbish...

No good... ...you have to take out the Flux & Denzien...

Put in 3 Syncopate & 3 Simic Charm!..

2 Cackling is enough... ...use at least 1 Prime Speaker!..

In the sideboard, use 2 Negate, 1 Syncopate, 2 Dissipate, 2 Essence Scatter, 2 Elixir of Immortality, etc...

Glad you like it! :)

If you look at it, the overall cost of this deck isn't that high... ...Decks that could win at a competative enviroment are usually over 430$...

You could take this to a Pro - Tour & expect to win... :)

This is a mass... :)

At least use Lightning Mauler instead of the Freak!..

If you don't have the lands, why bother making a 3 color deck?..

You play lots of worthless cards here & only 22 lands with a high mana curve...

...& the most important element, Thragtusk is missing...

Not bad, but I need that space for other stuff, so I rather use the Angel... ...I still don't have enough removal main board...

Funny... ...I don't know if you are joking, or rather haven't noticed, that this is a standard deck... :)
