we trying to keep it standard legal at the moment but i agree those are good cards to add

elvish champion is really nice even if its just for the +1/+1. also putting nissa's chosen goes well with nissa and you can sacrifice it to the monument over and over again with nissa out
the idea behind manabarbs is you board it in against the control matchup. control decks want to be able to use all the land resources possible to keep the board locked down. when you lay this card down, they really have to think about what they play and it just makes life alot easier on you because you will only be taking 2 damage per spell at the most when they will be taking more than that on average per spell. especially if they want to play a planeswalker or other game changing card
i made the deck before they banned stoneforge
the lux cannon is for the control matchup and slag storm for the aggro matchup. its actually a pretty cheap build minus the koths
i like this build better, nice ramp and maybe find some big win condition creature or enchantment
-1 sword of war and peace, +1 sword of body and mind?
my personal opinion, you dont really need goblin fireslinger all that much. it would help if you had blood thirst creatures but otherwise i dont really see much use other than using it for your grenade
the original idea had more blue in it but after looking at it when we were fully rested we decided to make it more red than blue. and we added the phoenix and koth because they fit really well into the deck
more grim lavamancer and more plansewalkers. koth is really good in red decks. but good otherwise
sword of body and mind is worth putting in the deck
i think alot of people are really trying to make illusions work in standard. this seems to be the best deck ive seen out of all of them. congrats on making the front page, ill probably try to put this deck together in real life and see how well it does
thats really cool that youre making a deck for your girlfriend. +1 coolness to you sir
looks pretty good, id add dismember to the sideboard cause that it gets rid of things like spellskite and phyrezxian obliterator that ruin your day
card draw is what blue is all about, id say add some ponders to the deck. and ive always liked turn to frog
I still have 2 months with him!!!
just a thought but you should add red for the defender creature that deals damage equal to the number of creatures with defender. and then you can use wall of torches from m12 hahah
looks like they fixed that
im surprised not to see student of warfare or any of the other rare level up creatures in this deck
id say add some copperline gorges but other than that i really like this deck
