That would certainly be interesting, though in a game it would probably simply be whoever draw the better hand wins. Over all though, I think my deck is superior to yours because of my spells. Silece and Emerge Unscathed have worked wonders for this deck and are two cards too rarely seen in aggro. Just yesterday someone conceded on turn 3 at a standard tourniment to this deck (he was playing Jace UB Control)... The game went:
1) Plains, Steppe Lyx -- Island
2) Mesa-> Plains, swing for 4, Steppe Lynx -- Silence, Island
3) Mesa-> Mountain, Assault Strobe on Steppe Lynx, swing for 12 -- Silence, Concede

Vs just about any deck, 2x Steppe Lynx, 2x Mesa, 1x Plains, 1x Assault Strobe, 2x Silence is an unbeatable 8 cards in our first 4 turns.

Eh, to be honest I don't see how this deck is much superior to my own. Sorry mate, but hbu I'm not too impressed... What's NEW about this?

Why do you say this? He's not a rouge vampire, and he got the facepaint stuff the people of Malakir have too.

Also, I like the idea that "I" (or whoever is playing) is the Bloodchief, like, we ARE supposed to be planeswalkers right?

Do you have any suggestions?

Yup! Especially in a deck with scopes, you gotta remove him at ur first oppertunity. And with a measly cost of R, you can easily hold him back in your hand to play when you really want ur opponent tapped out. Plus, as ethan mentioned, he is useful bs control.

Thanks for the tips man. I've ended up dropping Blue as ou suggested, and while refilling m deck I came across a few interesting things. If I'm gaining a good amount of life, why not have Lacerators? Or Sign in Blood? Those cards get much better from the point of view of having 30 life than having 20. Also, I replaced Grave Titan with Baneslayer. It may seem a bit odd, but in my play-testing 5 mana seems to be the peak. Out of 50 games, I hit 6 mana by turn 8 only 11 times, while I hit 5 mana a whopping 35 times! The difference there is rediculous. I'm also concidering dropping the Wurmcoils for Baneslaer, but Wurmcoil is too damn epic...

Glad you enjoyed it (Who knew m first flavor deck would be a hit?), but unfortunately both your candidates have a major stike against them.... Their names. KALASTRIA? GHET? Neither of these are Malakir unfortunately. If there was a Bloodchief of Malakir, he would be gracing this deck but unfortunately there isn't.

I actually run the Dragonmaster for the exact reason you said not to. I don't expect him to be on the table for very long, but I have found he is an AMAZING distraction because your oponent thinks he has to remove him. In an extreme case esterday, I dropped him and a Steppe Lynx turn 3 against BU control. They tap out to doom blade him, and on my next turn I drop a fetchland for double landfall, play and equip a Explorer Scope to the Steppe Lynx, flame slash his Wall of Omens, and drop Assault Strobe on the Steppe Lynx. Swing with the Steppe Lynx, the scope turns over a land... 12 damage and I win.

Sure this isn't the 'expected' gain from using him, but dropping him on ~ turn 4 demands a kill, which often clears the wa for my real threats. I just finished play-testing this version and I agree four scopes is too much, I think 2 is a good number. They are simply too powerful on a Steppe Lynx or Geopede to scrap.

Thanks for taking the time to leave all your comments :)

Nice call on sadistic glee, its just Blade of the Bloodchief as an enchantment, so it saves me one mana. I'll throw it in for the Blades (unfortunately I don't have room for 4x of both). My card-drawe is: 4x Cremate, 4x Sign in Blood. Do you think this might not be enough?

What do you think now? I realised what you meant about "too slow", after a few turns your top decking the rest of the game. I added some draw, what do you think?

"... a bit too slow"
1 Mana: 38 (86.36%)
2 Mana: 0 (0.00%)
3 Mana: 4 (9.09%)
4 Mana: 0 (0.00%)
5 Mana: 2 (4.55%)

That said, I guess your right about Iilina, I figured her ultimate would be, well, ultimate, but it does take forever

Hmmm... I assume your suggesting I make this deck BR? Its a cool idea, but I don't think red has cards that even come close to comparing with these guys

But thanks anyway; I love this deck because it shows just how thin Legacy decks can be
