The real challenge is balancing protection and Fatties. Youll notice I picked most blue dudes so I can pitch a fatty if I have to. The nice thing is the mondo built-in resilliency. Counter one Storm and I just wait to draw another! Any ideas to speed it up? Id like it to be a bit faster on average

About time someone noticed :P Yea, this is pretty cool IMHO...
Ummm.... No. Just no. Energy Flux is dangerous. Gust is laughable. Besides, what deck would possibly want to run it?
They made a mistake coding the phyrexian mana. Each counts as +2 CMC. My true curve is: 13 15 8 This is counting Phyrexian mana as 0 and bushwhacker as a 2-drop because I will want to kick him
Awesome-sauce. I kinda took over the mtgsalvation Affinity thread once MBS came out because I knew this is what Affinity should turn into :)
This deck will beat any KRed deck. Dunno how much competitive play you know, but this deck is competitive in Legacy play. Easily would take apart any standard deck, KRed, Caw-Blade, or RUG
Master of Etherium. Single best Lord out there. Every tribe wants their own version of him... Imagine him in Elves! Or Fae in extended...
Maybe... I feel the turn 1 tramp is very important though... T1 Trinisphere is deadly. Thanks though :)
Ahh, but that's the magic of duels. A Taiga IS a forest. it's also a mountain. So it does work in this deck. The one thing you didn't really pick up on is Scythe Tiger... He's better than your similar 1-drops, eseciallu thanks to shroud
Very interesting deck. Dont think I have seen anything like this before. Don't know what kind of budget you are on but Goyf is the obvious addition. I think Scythe Tiger would be good here, he's pretty powerful. If you have duels, some splashes would make the deck a bit better, but I think you would need to use 2-4 duels for the mana to work. White would give you Loam Lion, Emerge Unscathed, or spot removal. Black would give you Confidant or spot removal. Red would give you Kurd Ape or Lightning Bolt Pretty interesting deck Red would give you Kurd Ape/Bolt
Winter is on the SB. I would like to include dreams, but I'm unsure where it could fit. Ideas?
Thanks. I realized Phyrexian mana makes life gain decks much more powerful! Gambit is insane as is, but with life gain...
Consistency... Sometimes he's a dead draw
White is on the SB.
Soul's Attendent maybe? I would also try out Ajani's Pridemage, maybe for Goldenglow and DoJ?
Done! What do you guys think?
Whats up with the sb? Seems kinda random. Never use basic mountains. I'm kinda suprised by the lack of non-art lands, you will definitely need them v Null rod or just about any hate card. Glimmervoid is especially awesome as it help[s with mana and lets you run W on the sb. I think Enforcer is just bad right now, relatively small and easily the slowest card in the deck. I have found Etched Champion to be invaluable in a number of matchups, might wanna try him out md. For your sb I would reccomend something like (If you don't make EC md): 3x Etched Champion 3x Phyrexian Revoker 3x Ethersworn Canonist 3x Dredge Hate 3x Cabal Therapy I also like meekstone and Dispatch myself.
Ravager really shines as a removal magnet, turns extra mana sources into damage, and can do some sick combat tricks too. Its better is meh hands that aren't bad enough to mull.
Ummm.... confusion... Frogmite is barely faster than Skirge, and is useless after turn 2-3. Dunno what your saying about Enforcer, because I don't run it. "It may be good but 4 drops in legacy are usually suicide dead draws. Play at your own risk." This isn't exactly true, but Tezz can be a problem sometimes. The trade off is that it is a "next turn I win" card. "Ancient tomb and glimervoid are going to screw you over in competition. Your mox opals and springleaf drums substitute your mana base so you are going to find them dead drops. Your better off running blinkmoth nexus to combo with pest, plating, or ravager. It is a wasted investment. " --I take it you would be suprised to learn I play this deck in 100+ man legacy tourniments? Anyways, Tomb and Glimmervoid you are dead wrong about. They win games. Ever heard of Null Rod? Most popular Affinity-hate crad out there. How about all the ways to kill artifacts? Non-art lands are important. Tomb also provides speed and Glimmervoid gives me more color access. I think you should also count my mana sources, because your missing something there. I don't think you have much experience with this deck (or maybe playing legacy?), because you would know that ANT is not a threat, and Belcher is not played enough to be called a threat either. Goblins... well, read some tourniment analysises. Gobs's deck matchup is the mirror. High Tide is not the best matchup, but the deck is too expensive for more than a handfull of people to play per tourniment. I DO have Revoker in my sb, but noone plays Helmn of the Void, its for UR Painter and Horizons mainly.
I must have missunderstood what you meant about plating... it has Equip {1}.... Also, about your deck... You draw SFM and Paladin AND have metalcraft by turn 4? That's, well... really really lucky.
