Pretty well known deck, but a classic. This deck is basically the reason Flash got banned... although you missed something... turn 1 is not the fastest you can go off :)

Not sure if sentence 1 and 2 are supposed to go together, but I can only grab a green guy with GSZ (otherwise it would make the top 5 most broken cards printed in the Scars block).

I would like to abuse metalcraft more... but what artifacts are worth using here?

Gen-wave is a cool card, but I think its better in a ramp deck than an aggro deck really

Withstand death is cool, but kinda meh IMO

In a happy world, the chain (sorry for the pun) goes:
Recruit->Recruit->Recruit->Recruit->Empath->Rune-Scarred Demon->Empath->Rune-Scarred Demon->Empath->Rune-Scarred Demon->Empath->Rune-Scarred Demon->Emmy

with each creature obviously fetching the following one. Symbiote, Fauna Shaman, etc can be used to go off in the face of hate, fetch a recruiter to go off, or go for the alt-wincon of VV beatdown.

I wish I could take credit, but they are not truely "my" StoneBlade decks. StoneBlade is an emerging archetype in legacy... those decks are just my take on them.

PS: I would appreciate any feedback on them

Pretty damn funny. Btw, you are a horrible person for not checking back ony UWr StoneBlade deck. Just saying. Especially after what I added to it for you.

Is Punishing Fire Recursion Modern-Legal? Might be interesting slow-roll while increasing your outs vs Sligh or Zoo

Ah. That changes things. Lemme retry.

Pretty interesting, thogh I think you would be better shaping it more off of legacy Bant. I see no reason Noble/Pridemage/Rhox with GSZ should be excluded really, and it would allow you to go aggro if you want, or simply drop win cons by turn 4 without wasting room for ramp spells. Have you concidered Bant Charm? It's very versatile.

I would say Ponder>Preordain because of the extra card.

I think you are confusing two things... the persist ability goes on the stack as soon as the creature enters the graveyard. It has nothing to do with you upkeep step...

Sorry, brainfail. There is a tribal deck worse than Raggedjoe's Affinity deck. It's called Flying Spaghetti Monster Tribal, aka Sneak and Show.

Answering since I may have ordered him to sleep a few hours ago :D I will attempt to answer as he would.

1) Does raggedjoe's affinity deck count? If so, that. If not... Merfolk

2) Lets put it this way... I dont remember what color my rug is. 100,000 cards? Maybe? Give or take 50%? But who would want to count

3) Don't standard is a stupid format. Play legacy. But if you must... play Valakut. It gains Rampant Growth and blue loses Jace. Should be pretty easy to pick up again, and dawmn powerful. Aggro decks? Meet Slagstorm.

Ummm... Mental Misstep? Daze? Force of Will? Hell, Mana leak, Spell Pierce?

No draw fixing either? Why? And what the heck are you playing 4 Celestial Colonnade and Stirring Wildwood for? If you want manlands, Mishra's Factory?

I don't really think this is tourniment quality to be honest... It seems kinda too slow.

I would drop a lot of yor 3 drops for 1 and 2 drops like Accorder Paladin or Puresteel.

AEther Vial?

I also think you should clean this up a little... decde which cards are the best and run playsets of them instead of a lot of 2s. For example, Goblin Guide is much better than Raging or Gavaleer, so drop those two for Guides. Snowman is kinda bad, make him a Lord or something. You should also be running 4 Lackeys

Dispatch might be good here, to handle big dudes. Maybe some manlands like Inkmoth to carry the swords? Or Tectonic Edges... you have very light mana requirements, so you should do something with your lands
