Pretty nifty! Pity it takes at least 4 turns to cast Enchanted Evening (in the event you get Academy Rector to die the turn he's casted), so perhaps some more control (on top of Ghostly Prison) could come in handy. Other than that: very fine deck, I bet no one will see that coming :D

I would put it main deck. Spiteful Returned is pretty aggro, but you get your aggro from your constellation combo, so untill that time you can use the control and defence I think. Perhaps you could playtest both versions and see how they fare?

Yeah I noticed you only upload decks you actually own. I do the same, with a rare exception here and there where I use proxies to test decks before I buy the cards. I find this is a good way to visualize the statistics, and the draw samples also help to see where things go wrong or where there's room for improvement.

Hm that might make a difference, yes. Especially since he keeps them untapped for 2 turns, basically. You could try that, yes! It should be able to buy you some time untill the enchantment en constellation combo's start kicking off.

Hm very nice! I can see this deck being in control of stuff. Have you playtested this?

Well, I was thinking maybe more creatures? There's plenty of artifacts and instants, but 6 creatures seems a bit low to me... The Goblin Fireslinger is a fun first card to play :-) Start dealing damage right away. I use him in my Bloodthirst deck, very fun!

I'll stop picking on you (which I'm not :p) if you give me your own version of what dude boarding might be :D

:D I think it's the sport of grabbing a surfer dude and throwing him on a wake board, and see which dude makes the longest distance or coolest jump or fall. Preferably performed by Scots, since they're strong enough to throw dude. Dreadlocks are heavier than you might expect!

Well, most decks are a maximum of 60 card and between 18 and 24 lands, which depends on which kind of dekc you play, how fast it needs to be, which cards etc. I'm sure there's a guide around here for deckbuilding, OR if you're looking into making a specific deck (white/blue lends itsself well to detain or blink decks for example), I'm sure you can find examples here or on the net.

But perhaps you can start out with getting 24 lands, and choosing the rest of the 36 cards you want to add? Making your own deck and finging out for yourself how to improve it will help you the most in the long run. Although I'm sure there'll be folks around here who will build the deck for you :-)

How exactly does dude-boarding work?

Yeah... but they're 3 and 4 CMC, so that's gonna take you some turns to get them out, survive that long, not lose them to whatever removal and burn and need for blocking happens. I have a deck that's got a turn 4 attacking Deus of Calamity e.g. (that's 6 damage you'll wànt to block!), and that's not even my aggro deck.

Don't get me wrong, I do love constellations and I think you can make some awesome combo's with it, but they're all pretty slow. I just thinking how this deck could be made more powerful and faster, see? Of course, this deck is standard, but there's still plenty of standard aggro decks as well.

Constellations rock! But where do you get the "4 to 6 damage a turn" and "win" from 2 Forgeborn Oreads and Grim Guardians?

Whoops, I meant Dictate of Erebos, not Claim of Erebos. Claim of Erebos is worthless, and Dictate of Erebos if devastating when I've got loads of zombies about :D

I have a green/white ally deck that's very brutal, even in multiplayer games. I had my first 2 druids removed and there was an enchantment in play dealing 2 damage to each creature coming into play and i still won against 4 others. Check it out if you want to!

Well, I think you're low on creatures count. Akroan Line Breaker can be a hard-ass, but he's rather slow, at its earliest a turn 4 attacker. I've been meaning to build a deck around Akroan Crusader and spawning lots of soldiers, but nothing decent sofar.

Now I'm trying to use him in a Boros control and heroic deck, might check it out for some ideas if you want to:

I think making your deck red/white gives you more possibilites and more survivabilty in the long run, the spells with strive for example are quite useful!

It's Viking-ish, though not completely Viking worthy :p I've been looking at loads of cards to make a decent Viking deck, but either they're too Scottish, or too Goblin, or they carry weapons no Viking ever used. Then again, I once tried to make a perfect Aztec deck, historically accurate and all, and affordable, if possible. :p

Hm, interesting... I've thought about something like this as well... Have you playtested this? Does it work?
