Hang on, it might be the case that the past few months have all just been one long-ass DMT trip, but I could swear on my uncle's baldness that Deathrite was banned.

Oh yeah, this was made back when anno domini was referring to 2016 xD

See that's more or less what I meant; balancing something where the rules are "anything goes" ought to be hard enough to where few try.

I hardly believe it to be obscure as I'd imagine every game store has one such playrgroup made up of either nostalgic adults or begging kids. My issue has always been with balancing decks in such playgroups. Though it is a concern that springs purely from anecdotal experience as every such playgroup I have ever witnessed seemed to spiral out of control and become degenerate. Though I'd imagine that is not a problem you are having.

xD Yeah, but broke people can play this, they can't play that which most think of when they hear the word 'Vintage' uttered.
Beast Within feels good.

Damn, feels weird to make these kinds of suggestions, as I said, outside of my conceptual domain. Still fun to hang out here while I feel like procrastinating xD

It is mostly a metagame issue, to balance decks that cross all formats whilst adhering to abstract rules designed to ensure some semblance of acceptable balance withou turning it into Vintage for broke people takes more than I am willing to give.
It is however wonderful to see it work out for someone else.

I am sorry to say that this is not only outside my area of expertise, this is downright out of my conceptual domain. I don't really know what useful critique I could give.

Gnat Miser is terrible in every deck, but especially in a discard deck. The reason being that it is only good when your opponent is at 7 cards and the rest of your deck is dedicated to them never being at 7 cards.

Ponza superfriends experiment? Well... yes, yes please marry me and eat my kids.

First off, how do I link cards like that?

Hmm, I have considered all the cards that you have suggested, Imma lay I out the reasons for not including them, tell me what you think:

Viscera Seer: In pauper you can't really afford to sacrifice a creature, even if it is only half a creature to merely scry 1, not in what is essentially an aggro deck anyway.

Inspector Thraben: In this deck, a card draw is on par with a 1/1 for the most part, and a 1/1 is what every other 1 drop gets us. I mean that in the sense that 2 mana to draw one card which you then have to play is worse in an aggro deck than an immediate flying 1/1 .

Captain's Call: 3 mana is pushing it with this deck, let alone 4.

Angler: I have considered it, and I think I was wrong in not including it. What do you suggest I cut? The Myr and Evil seem weak.

Bone Splinters are sorcery speed, which is a huge issue actually, or at least has been in the past, in golgari aristocrats decks.

The Lifestaff does more or less require that you be able to tutor it out, though it would most likely be wise to sideboard it in against burn, so another great suggestion.

Obviously but... it's not aggro, not mid, not a synergestic value deck... just a pile of gruul splash blue...

What?

Villainous Wealth or I am killing myself

This is essentially my 5th grade gimmick that got me my name; all hail 13 year old me with 121/121 Scute Mob with a Paralyzing Grasp on it!

PS: I also ran Phyrexian Swarmlord, it doesn't work, not even in casual. Not that I cared back then, nor that I do now.

What?

Well, seeing as how you don't have any real source of card advantage and are using 1 card to temporarily tap down one other card that is by no means temporary (unlike cupcakes), and considering the face that Baird is useless when your opponent has a small amount of creatures that are capable of attacking; I'd say it's pretty bad.

Though it does look like the sorta thing I would make 10 years ago and experience that one game where my opponent never stops playing dudes and never gets to connect even once.

I won't pretend I understand... I also won't pretend that I didn't find it amusing for the first 5 seconds and now again.
To the hot page with this shit! xD

What? Why is this mostly a standard deck from many years ago? What about Kolagan's command, Bolt, Liliana, Bob and many, many others?

It sure is cheap, might be great for getting someone into kitchen table magic, it won't be great after a short while either. But it is nonetheless well built and has a use. +1

Yeah no I am marrying this deck if you can sell me on 3x Undiscovered Paradise xD

Seems like faulty reasoning, is always having a Rec Sage for every Eldest Reborn worth not having a good play and a dead card in hand whenever the opponent isn't on a very specific control deck?

Wildgrowth walker instead of the wall? In general I would either take the deck in a more reanimator oriented direction or just towards one of the many golgari mid builds.

As for liliana... anything at all is better, Eldest Reborn, a kill spell, anything. She is great when you are ahead against an opponent who is trying to answer all your threats, but it is better to either not get that late into the game, or to play a card that is better when behind (Vivien) or to play a card that does what Lili does but better (Journey)

I don't care in the least whether you do or do not mention the source of the decklist. But you apparently do, judging by the contents of your deck description. So why not instead of "I do not own this deck build" mention the one who does? And I am aware of the second meaning of the word "own", but not of a reason to use it with that meaning in mind.
