By Cyclonic Rift & Azorius Charm, I can get Geist's blockers out of the way & save it... Mizzium Mortars & Bonfire are also good for the same goal... Talrand & his tokens would've been taken out by my own mass removal spells... Anywayes... ...thanks for your suggestions!.. :)

Probably... ...but I think it's gonna be cmc 7, not 8, like Razia... They won't make a guildleader incompetative any more I guess...
Thanks!.. I'm from Hungary... Our colors are: R/W/G(Naya)... :)
Thought of them... ...considered many times, but no space for tham, as I see it now...
Would be good, if you haven't played a lot of cards in the main deck, that should be sideboards... :) Drop Essence Scatter, Ultimate Price & Victim!.. Add Murder(3), 1 more High Priest, 1 more Rat, 1 more Assassin, 1 more Nighthawk, 1 more Demon & 1 more Slip!.. Play 22 lands total!.. ...drop 1 Syncopate & add 3 Geralf's Messanger!.. Play 9 Swamp & 5 Island with the 4-4 Catacomb & Watery Grave!.. ...drop Evolving Wilds!.. Change Killing Wave to Negate!.. I have a deck I'm working on right now... ...any suggestions would be appreciated: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469 I also have 5 decks at top decks, if you are interested in checking any of them... I think, your way to use Desecration Demon is the best I've seen yet...
This is truely solid... ...well put togeather!.. What I'd change is: Play 22 lands total (-1 Mountain) & 1 more Olivia... Have you notice, that you have 6 Dreadbore in main deck & sideboards total?.. By taking out the 2 Dreadbore, 1 Pillar & 1 Duress, You could put in a 3rd Slaughter Games & 3 Rakdos charm(it's a perfect sideboards card, useful against grave & token decks & could destroy an artifact as well)... I's play Thundermaw Hellkite instead of Rakdos... I have 5 decks at top decks right now, if you are interested... ...1 of them is Grixis, wich I think U'd like very much... :) I also have a deck I'm working on... ...suggestions are wellcome: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
I do play Thragtusk in the sideboards(3 copies)... Geist of Saint Traft is also good against removal, since it has Hexproof & when it attacks, I just remove the blocker by Azorius Charm, or cast Rootborn Defences(& keep the Angel token I got by populating the original)... Against mass removal, I just keep a Wurm, or Entreat the Angels in hand... The only problem with this deck is, that I can not figure a way how I could find space for more counter spells... I have only 3 & only in the sideboards... I have very few control stuff here, but this deck is hard to deal with & is fast... Your predictions are 97% false, 'cuz my location is extreamly competative & I've played this deck(not in tournament)... ...it do stand a chanse against every type & level of decks... This is not a deck I'd play in tournaments though... I've made this only for fun & the deck type I chose for this is "Experimental"... Here are the decks I consider using next friday: R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469 Grixis control(won an fnm already): http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163 B/G/U Zombies with Vraska/unblockable: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748 Azorius control(won an fnm already): http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=392017 Izzet - Goblin/spells deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
Looting... I donno'... I definiately won't drop any Avacyn &/or Griselbrand... ...I really need this much card that is worth to discard... The ultimate ability of any Planeswalker is not the top priority in this deck... Tho, both could be done fast, thanks to the amazing speed my rats sprout with... :) I don't need more land... I have quite some draw spells & the curve is very low(not considering the big creatures wich I like to cast from my grave)... Tho, thanks for your suggestions!.. I'm thinking on Faithless Looting... This deck is only an experiment... It's competative, as I tried it, because no matter the grave - hate in standard today, I can still win with my rats, or discard Avacyn at the right time & cast her in the same turn... :)
U shouldn't use black, only because you want to play Lingering Souls, 'cuz you play 4 Snapcaster, so Midnight Haunting would be better here... It's not worth it for the Vault as well... Hard to cast anything here with the Snapcaster, 'cuz your curve is high... Make this Azorius & Drop Snapcaster, or lower the curve of I/S spells you play!.. Make sideboards: Rest in Peace, Negate, etc... I'd drop Isperia... It could get shot by even Mizzium Mortars, or Arms Dealer... ...easy to deal with... Use Geist of Saint Traft!.. ...it's awesome with Azorius Charm & Cyclonic Rift expecially... U can move his blockers away & save him... I've made an R/U/W control yesterday & I think it would be a good source of ideas for you, regarding your deck..: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469 Also... If you have the time & interest, I'm having problem perfecting this deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748
Drop Apocalypse & Horde!.. ...put in 3 Lotleth Troll, a 4th Slitherhead & a 4th Dreg Mangler!.. In sideboards, use 3 Dissipate, 2 Apocalypse, a 4th Decay, 2 Bone Splinters, 3 Negate & 2 Grimgrin(if not main deck)... Here are my B/G/U Zombies: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748
Pillar is not going well with Brimstone... I'd put the Freak in the Main deck & Pillar in the sideboards... Cheap, but not competative... ...well... ...depends on where you play it...
Screwed the link :) Here it is again: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399872
YO!.. It's done, but I came up with another idea... :) B/R/W Rat/grave deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/DrawSimulator.aspx?DeckID=399872 Because of the massive graveyard hate in standard, it won't be too competative, but you have to have only a single card in your grave at a time & if you discard it at the right time, you can win... :) Tried it c it's pretty stabil & fast... :)
Interesting concept... :) Worth to make it mono - black... You populate, yet the only token card you play is Pack Rat... Just today I thought of making a standard rat deck... Discard effects, Liliana of the Dark Realms & stuff... ...we'll see... :) I'll post the link here, when it's done...
Think Twice is great with Electromancer, but I can't take out a thing... :) The only thing this deck lacks is draw spells... I have Izzet Charm & Desolate Lighthouse, but I have to discard for them as well & I'd rather use the Charm to counter, or for burn 97 out of 100 times... :) If you are looking for a cheap standard deck, I can help you bringing up a list... Just contact me at one of my decks, if I forget!.. :) I'm from Hungary & cards are expensive here as well, but I have a huge collection of cards & I alwayes trade with players who rather play Modern &/or Legacy format... I also open a lot of boosters, because I have a 20% discount at a store, so I get the cards I need for about one five the prize... :) I'm playing since I was 9, since 1999... I will think on how to make a competative standard deck, that could be built for a low prize... If you are interested, I have 4 other top decks right now on the front page... I also have a deck I'm working on, so suggestions are well appreciated... :) R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
1st, take Unsummon out of the sideboards & put in 3 Dissipate!.. Put in a 3rd Staticaster as well!.. ...Brimstone is not really good with Pillar of Flame... I'd change 1 Brimstone for a 4th Rift... I'd change Hypersonic to Thundermaw Hellkite... I have an Izzet - Goblin/spells deck at top decks ("Krenko's Factory"), if you are interested... :) I'm working on a deck right now, that I hope to get good suggestions on how to improove it... R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
1st, don't use Guildgate, as the one above me suggested!.. :) Tho, Steam Vents would be great... Play 22 lands total!.. Drop Syncopate & put 1 Dissipate in the sideboards!.. Add 2 more Mizzium Mortars!.. Use Cyclonic Rift instead of Unsummon & play Electromancer(3) for the overloads!.. Drop Brimstone, or put it in the sideboards, it's not really good for this deck!.. I'd use Thundermaw Hellkite instead of Niv... I'd use 4 Gutetrsnipe... Use only 2 Vengeance!.. In sideboards, use Mizzium Skin(2-3), Tomrod's Crypt(2-3), Pillar of Flame(3-4), Electrickery(2-3) & may be 2 Negates, or 1-2 Bonfire... I have an Izzet - Goblin/spells deck at top decks ("Krenko's Factory"), if you are interested... I also have a deck I'm working on right now... ...check it, if you have the time & interest!.. :) R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
My best friend was playing Snakes when Kamigawa was standard. He used Echoing Currage with his massive amount of tokens... :) I was playing a B/W spirit deck(Koskusho, Oyobi, Spiritual Visit, Rend Flesh/Rend Spirit, Journey, ETC...)... Than the original Ravnica came out & he started playing Golgari & me Boros...... Lotus Cobra is comboing greatly with Sakura here & would also be good with the Tribe - Elder... I donno', if you play standard, but I'm working on a deck right now & I'd like to hear your suggestions, if you have the time... R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
Thragtusk is strong against removal/mass removal, so I'll use 3 in the sideboards... Changing it for some Entreat/Armada, when I need tham... :)
Truely not bad, but no space for him... Armada is better for this deck & also Entreat the Angels & I don't want to raise the curve... Tho, you are right... ...Thrag is a card that is worth having 1-2-3, or 4 copies of in a deck... It's just that with Parallel lives & populate, Entreat & Armada are both better... The combo here is Geist of Saint Traft either attacking with Parallel Lives on board - this way I attack with 2 4/4 flyers, may be 4, or 8... ...or Populate the angel token(this way you can keep the "copy" & it's not attacking)... With Rootborn Defences I can save the blocked Geist & populate the angel at the same time... With Azorius Charm, I could also save his a.s, by putting the blocking creature on top of it's owner's library... What I'm thinking about now is to have 4 Geist in the main deck... ...not sure... What do you think?..
