He's a decent blocker for 2 mana plus he gives the ability to look at top 3 for an instant or sorcery... how does that make him suck?

Delver's are always a great idea in a deck like this... essentially you can make a version of ElectroDelver 3 Delver of Secrets2 Augur of Bolas4 Goblin Electromancer4 Snapcaster Mage3 Talrand, Sky SummonerSpells:244 Pillar of Flame2 Syncopate4 Thought Scour2 Essence Scatter2 Izzet Charm2 Negate1 Runechanter's Pike3 Searing Spear4 Think TwiceLands:208 Island6 Mountain4 Steam Vents2 Sulfur FallsThis is essentially a really good ElectroDelver build... the only suggestion I could make to make it budget would be scrap the dual lands as they are expensive, as well as the Snapcasters (trade Snapcaster for say Archaeomancer or Augur of Bolas)
Yeah I only had to buy a few of them, the rest were trades or great pulls from packs.
Yeah aggro is currently the big Selesnya deck so it is the better option.The Ajani idea is just hilarious because of the looks people would give you when you do it.
Gisela is a great card for Boros humans right now, luckily for me I just picked up two, things you can consider just from the Gatecrash spoiler's at the moment would be Boros Charm, Aurelia's Fury, Aurelia The Warleader, Assemble the Legion (if you like tokens), Sunhome Guildmage (if your into guildmages), Skyknight Legionnaire (2/2 flying haste for 3), Sacred Foundry's, Skullcrack, Angelic Skirmisher, Boros Elite, Murder Investigation (tokens again), and Firemane Avenger. These are the boros cards that have been shown thus far and quite a few of them look fantastic.
This is very nice, I do like Thunderous Wrath as a 2 of in my RDW because of the fact that you can miracle it for 5 on a creature or player if your in a tight spot. Devil's Play and Bonfire are also a good idea that I run in my version.http://www.mtgvault.com/tripedge/decks/red-deck-wins/ here's my version for comparison
Day of Judgement isn't standard... just a heads up, planar cleansing is essentially the standard equivalent at the moment.
If this is supposed to be mill... take out Gitaxian probe and put in Mind Sculpt or something
I just thought of a great idea for this, 1-2 Ajani, Caller of the Pride... if you get his ultimate off you get a crapton of cat token's which will boost your lifegain even more.
Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times, its quite amusing though but yeah looked at it and went WTF?
You could theoretically turn this into a form of R/B aggro, you would just need some card's with haste like Rakdos Shred-Freak, Ash Zealots. More Hellrider's are alway's a good idea, Rakdos Cackler's are good for a 1 drop, Knight of Infamy to give an early attacker a little boost + can be used as a blocker against white creatures if that match up comes up.Pretty much if you turn this into R/B Aggro you need haste, burn and some big creatures for late game.
Six Thundermaw's ... something is wrong with this picture.
Good option for a good beatstick/distraction would be Desecration Demon, you give them the option to sac their blocker's giving your rat's the ability to go in for the win. Another great addition is Liliana of the Veil +1 we each discard a card, -2 opponent sac's a creature, -6 give me your cards, here's 1 pile here's another choose which you keep. All in all she's fantastic for this build.http://www.mtgvault.com/tripedge/decks/vermin-plague/ There's my Rat deck if you want to take a look for extra ideas.
You could even use 1-2 Thragtusk, extra life gain from it's ability + from Trostani and you get another body when it dies.
It's still quite an amazing build, I always enjoy the decks you make as they usually inspire me to try out variants of them. Would you possibly mind checking out my Grixis ? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=415501
Wow this looks like a great build, and with the shocklands coming out in Gatecrash the manabase will be made even better. Would really like to see it in action. Great job as always Poet!
Hey I love your build of Jund Zombies, was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at mine ? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=406172
Didn't even notice the Mortars, sorry.
You could put Rancor's in the sideboard or mainboard for the extra push... and Thragtusks for the fact that it's an awesome card and is quite playable.
Try and get one more Geralf's Messenger as 4 of them is needed, Mikaeus the Unhallowed doesn't really sit well in this deck, as you need it to be fast. Things you could add: 4 Overgrown Tomb 4 Rancor 1-2 Dreadbore + some in the sideboard for planeswalker removal 4 Rakdos Cackler (another fast one drop for the deck) 1-2 Cavern of Souls 1-2 Falkenrath Aristocrats X Brimstone Volley (it's a great burn/removal card deal 3 damage for 3cmc and does 5 on it's morbid effect) Things you could take out: 2 Mikaeus the Unhallowed 2 Blood Artist (without more sac/removal like Killing Wave they aren't exactly the most useful card) 4 Murder (yes it kills all creatures but it's 3 mana and you could use its spot for something else that's quick or another source of mana) 3 Dead Weight (Replace with Crippling Blight it give -1/-1 and causes the enchanted creature to be unable to block) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=406172 This is my Jund if you want some other ideas.
