Soul-scar mage is actually pretty strong, so congratulations on using that.
Rock fall vale seems like too much of a gamble to me because it will cost you a turn if you draw multiple of them.

I can recommend apostles blessing.

In fact I'm building up an archive in general:
I use size a4 photo-pockets to store books that I've "compressed"
I read them while underlining anything relevant to me, then after reading it I write up a note paper based on what is underlined, then I refine it and have a private miniature book on the topic that I can go look at whenever I need the info. I'm rebuilding that too...

It's been a while since I've had an updated archive, but yes I frequently build up stuff like that.
It's why I always promote the same cards over and over again.

It's not that long ago that I had a small archive on cards taking out keycards in the modern meta.
So whenever an old card like for example reality Smasher starts showing up, I'd recommend shriekmaw to fight it, and
Phantasmal image is something I've fought with jorubai murklurker.

But some years ago I was close to end up on the street, so the archive got thrown away.
I'm building up a new one for the halfdeck project.

Gary made the tags pretty searchable:
Google for bork mtg and this deck pops up as the third hit on the search...

So I gotta thank you for that.
If gary choose not to fix the problem with tags I'm going to win anyways.
The guys who've kept spamming my magic discoveries over the year will now have no impact anymore.
I'm going meta through the tags.

The world will now be able to hear my cry of warnings, and all the spam on this site can't stop me...

I love idiots :)

Gave the deck a like.
My freedom means it deserves it.

I

There's always a card :)
Over the years I've learned that the easiest way to improve decks is to double check a number of classical moves.
Avoiding counterspells is sort of a classic, so just by having a small list you double check when you want to design around the major classics (counterspells, mass removal, discard, burn, infect etc) you get to skip a lot of card searches.

Second once you've found a hate card, always try to look up as many similar cards as possible, because there is always a card that because of small differences in design is the perfect card against the meta.

The bork meme.
So hot right now.
I wonder.
Did gary make the tags web accessible in 2007 ?
Probably, I'll have to ask him :)

Sparky decks.
Lol I've found those to be so annoying when I was trying to research sparky the ai from arena, and all I can find is sparky decks...

And I see you go damage controll :)
You in a rage yet ;)
Gives more info, wicked go nom nom on catz an burgzars. Much mutate, much meow.

Boseiju, who shelters all could wring you past the counterspell ;)
But I guess it's budget then.

Thanx for the answers.

Simple is always better :)
But I'm oldschool and prepperish so I always try to imagine a situation where you don't get the combo on perfect conditions.

Let's say you encounter mill.
Wouldn't it be bad to lose against that because they took out the reliquary?

Redundancy redundancy...

Cost and abilities.
Got it :)

I suspect that devoid somehow started out as continuation of semi-hybrid mana, like beseech the queen where you can pay each colored mana by paying 2 colorless mana instead. I guess we might one day see this in reverse with the eldrazi, so that you can pay RR to pay 1 colorless. (Let's use the # symbol as the wastes symbol)

So an eldrazi costing ### could be cast by using 6 colored mana.
I think devoid was intended to be like this, but that they thought the concept was too alien for the players and so they altered it.

Tomb of yawghmoth ?
(Just to get glacial chasm to produce mana as well)

Library of leng could also be usefull.

Oh, and I finally get the unnatural viewcount. Clever...

I mean, glacial chasm should belong to the colorless category (devoid). eldrazi for example need colorless mana.
Color identity is ofcourse a game mechanical structure, but it can always become more complex because humans like it that way.

What if I wanted to use a devoid commander? As an example one with red in its castingcost?

With 24 lands you can have 4 cards costing 4 mana.
I use a very strict manacurve myself, developed over many years.
It's good enough to run two colored themes.

Commander identity. Right...
But wouldn't that apply to glacial chasm ?
If a dual land is not within the color identity because it has white in it, shouldn't glacial be able to produce black then ?

Oh, yeah, and don't mind boonsatyr940, he's just mad because mods removed his post "ban wicked"

Didn't see the glacial chasm :)
I thought with 93 lands one could be a dual...

I like this deck.
Theres a gameplan that I can follow, despite having 99 cards :)

In this setup everyone dies.
Add Angel's grace so only your enemies go down.

All of the arena cards have a collection symbol with a clear "A" on it, so when looking at new cards you can identify them, and rahilda is certainly having "the mark"

It is only easier to get a collection of virtuals because the number of sets there are limited.
Some people have access to some pretty cool stuff.

The idea of story decks is a nice one.
Aiming at merging stories is a skill that takes a lot of practice, but the reward is that you will see where stories are heading in the future,
Which gives you more mastery longterm.

Mtgvault is not a place that support these kind of ideas, at the moment, so it's important that you keep it up for yourself, growing that skill, and I suggest you just try out a merge with any deck on top of the page.

What I would like to know, is how the werewolves got their hands on a chaos sphere?
And what are they aiming at by conquering the fungal reaches? Might there be a connection between these two questions?

As for the deckdesign, it lacks a number of answers against decktypes on arena.
Fighting flying is one answer, but here's a small list of things you need to be prepared against.

1: landdestruction. Is currently a theme on the rise, and with just 21 lands and a lot of high cost creatures you will be an easy target.
Most designs are based on the fact that players have few basics. And reuse field of ruin an awesome amount of times.

2: ramp. Most designs ramp through fetching lands mana-creatures or using treasure. They cast something big and colourful just before your would beat their last life, unless you find a way to stall their growth.

3: control. Just like ramp, you almost get their last life, when they've built up a hand full of removal and starts clearing the table turn after turn, and you never get to that last hit.

4: other aggro. Aggro often faces aggro, and so you need some way to both deal with their aggro, but also to support your own.

All of your creature choices should be made with these 4 in mind.

As an example, runebound wolf should be in the sideboard.
Why? Against ramp it will take too long to fire it up, and against control, it will be removed or it's the only creature in play.
You should only play it when not facing these decktypes. It's probably best in aggro vs aggro which means it's an material.

Ajani certainly has history on mtgvault.
So many cats;)
