It's a fun solution against someone like me who would try to break the bridge by sacrificing some creature.
But make double sure that it actually works, because I recall and old ruling where creatures still touched the graveyard before being exiled. It's a rule that may have recieved new changes to it, but at some point in magics long history there was a small loophole.

Been looking it up.
Looks like it works as intended these days :)

Decktype is vengebridge.

But token creatures seem to crack the bridge though.

To few lands.
You want to be able to cast them and use them as fast as possible.

Echoing truth
To save your combo or replay a bunch of zulaport duelist.

Having played with vault skirge and learn cards for a while, I've come to like expanded anatomy.
If placed on vault skirge it will also improve blight-priest.

Proxy and play test before buying is a better strategy.

Or it's tied to the conversation on the infinite mill, which in turn ties into another very similar conversation.

:)

Butt your right, it could also be down to the evolutionary advantage of thrust!

Then you got one side of the story wrong, which explains a lot.

Probably the evolutionary advantage of trust ?

There's a lot more creatures with unearth that can be sacrificed twice.
Rotting rats might be good in the sideboard against non-graveyard combo, especially if you get more unearth.
Theres also creatures with undying.

It's fun, but blood, clue and treasure tokens have taken some time to sink in for most people.
Theres probably a large number of cards that are now really powerfull, but people just haven't figured it out.

I remember a tournament I was at where people brought power nine, and I considered bringing a flyer that had an ability based on how many artifacts the opponent had in play.

It was the white Emissary from darksteel, and I remember also considering leonin elder.

Theres so many cards that are probably overpowered now because of treasures.

It's an adorable child of alara. Elite vanguard "Attack"

I think jewel thief might fit into this deck.

Nice concept :)

When exploiting the citizen theme, don't forget the ixilan sets that were you gain the blessing of the city by having 10 permanents.
The ascend mechanic.

No problem, and ironically I'm the only one in here without a face, just the original user icon :)

Soon you will learn just how smart kids can be, in about three month's time the baby will practice how to play you and your wife against each other, by "calling" on the one that isn't the closest.

They are little calculating schemers.

Most parents I know, shelved magic for a while, then took it up again when the child was old enough to participate in the social life of other kids. 6-7 years might pass, but I'll probably be here by then.

I've been considering creating some longterm databases on decks for a while. I like to have some solid material when I get back into playing my big project, so I might try to make it into some "back into the saddle" archive that would be perfect for someone out of the loop.

The first ones will be pauper based, but as soon as I'll start gaming I'll need to learn everything at a more serious level, and that means tracking the meta in detail.

Congratulations :)

Trelassara is interesting because it can scry every time you gain a life, so cards that can give you life on a longterm basis means you will have top control by gaining life every turn.

Kitchen finks and melira might be a combo to consider if you can find a sacrifice card to loop the lifegain.
Overall stuff from melira designs might be a way to make this into a combo deck.

That was the old way of doing things :)
The theory behind it is called the weissman principle, and the first example used was that of 1 mesa pegasus as the only kill card.

Then people invented stall.

A nasty trick is to have a deck that makes the opponent panic and think they can't win the first game, then your sideboard contains some extreme stalling cards making sure that if they conceded, they can't get a win during the rest of the game.
It's not exactly a friendly approach, but it works.

Then I'd say morphling.
Sometimes beatdown is all it takes.
I'm old enough to have seen the era where morphing decks were the ultimate and only wincon.
Then dredge came along.

He simply taps the lands that are enchanted with the damage dealing enchantments.

I got a fairly simple rule for building a sideboard:
5 cards against aggro
5 cards against control
5 cards against combo
Choose cards that overlap these groups and you should be prepared for almost anything.

Having a few hate cards of each type in the mainboard will also strengthen the effect of the sideboard.

I'm probably paler than you :)
I named myself after darkman, and put wicked in front.
A couple of years after some musician also named himself darkman, releasing a cd called wicked.
Probably a coincidence, one day I have to buy that cd, just to own it.

Soul guide lantern was only good with lurrus.
I think relic of progenitus is the better option.
