You're welcome :)
Unfortunately I don't play much these days. I just like to see with what weird/unique decks I can come up with.

Interesting I didn't know this card even existed, thanks for showing it to me.
If you go for the budget build there's a lot of interesting synergies you can go for like a sacrifice engine or even maybe a goad mechanic.
Either way with blue added you can easily have some control on the board and allow for some interesting game politics.

If you're going to build this deck, might I suggest you consider Ogre Slumlord, Lord Skitter's Butcher and the Marauder set (those creatures that force everyone to sacrifice a creature, or other permanent, as it enters)

I might just try and build this myself in my spare time. Thanks once again for sharing, looking forward to seeing your deck idea.

Now this brings back memories...
If you're going all out with this theme might I suggest: Goblin War Strike and Warbreak Trumpeter. That way you can get more goblins and deal damage to your opponents quicker.

True, but WotC have in the past noted how broken certain cards were and down right banned them from all formats or certain formats. If people complain hard enough then the message might get across, if not there's always Rule Zero and local group banned lists.

I get what you're saying and agree that there are cards that make you question what Wizards of the Coast was thinking when they made them but all of them can be countered/tackled (I don't think there are cards that are impossible to counter/tackle save for the Split Second cards). Some will need a great deal of creative thinking that's true, but I feel that's what makes the game a little interesting.

It's either that or Rule Zero the cards you feel are overpowered or don't make sense. That's the beauty of this game, the versatility of how you and your group can play the game in my opinion.

Many thanks for the card ideas, I know that not everyone likes to play EDH so I don't expect much of a response.

I did actually consider using the Marauders as other sac triggers but I wasn't sure if I could get a consistent reanimation setup to keep cycling through them. I might tinker around another version of this deck which includes them. I instead opted for the low cost creatures which can reanimate themselves so that I can get away with using the Braids and the Smokestack as much as possible.

Tainted Aether looks awesome but I feel it is works heavily against the player as much as the opponent with the current deck setup, unless you have the right board already in play which would give an instant win through ping damage.

I went ahead and added Smallpox and Painful Quandary by removing Blasphemous Edict and Braids's Frightful Return as I total missed them.

So quick update, deck worked like a charm in the first round and took everyone by surprise. But the next couple of games they had me figured out and put me on the ropes multiple of times. Luckily the deck has some flexibility but others is slow to recuperate after a board wipe.

To help improve the deck a little I removed four of the Hawks in favour of more card draw in the form of Rogue's Gloves and Bygone Bishop. I also added Ornithopter of Paradise and Darksteel Mutation for added mana ramp and board interaction.

I'd suggest Amulet of Vigor as a good combo piece with Root Maze to negate it's negative effects on your side of the board.
Also instead of Prismatic Ending I'd go for Stroke of Midnight as it allows you to target anything without restriction at instant speed.

Thanks for the suggestions, I added Cut a Deal and removed a card I felt didn't quite fit the theme.

Looks great from my end, hope the play testing goes well for you.
I might just try and make an EDH version of this unique idea.

Will keep you posted if I manage to start thinking of one.

To add to dknight27's suggestions, I have done some research on the matter and there are quite a few other cards that allow you to give tokens to your opponent. Here's a list of them for you to consider:
Grismold, the Dreadsower, Sylvan Offering, Tempt with Vengeance, Eiganjo Uprising and Curse of the Swine

As a compliment to the pillow cards Angel's Trumpet is a good card to make them suffer post-combat.
I like the deck concept, hope you can manage to make it work.

Many thanks for the like and suggestions, I tweaked the deck slightly.

I try to avoid looking at expensive cards like Cabal Coffers and Cabal Stronghold to keep my decks affordable to anyone who wishes to try them out. That is unless they are crucial for the deck to function and I have no choice in the matter.

I've been going through some of my deck ideas for an affinity build and thought you'd like to know about these cards:

Machinate - a good way to tutor for that critical card based on the number of artefacts you have in play
Monumental Corruption - a good damage dealer should you not be able to connect with your creatures (rather high in mana though)
Welding Jar - Another zero cost artefact which gives regenerate (even to non-creature artefacts)
Override - That classic counter spell
Irradiate - For those big boys/girls you might face
Desynchronization - A good board clear for the finishing blow (four mana but a good card)

I have other card ideas but they are more for slow meta affinity decks rather than the fast build you are going with.

Thanks for bringing back memories of when I started playing the game seriously.
One suggestion, Cranial Plating and you'd have a quick win deck easy.

What is your goal with this deck? To generate a lot of Energy?
If so might I suggest cards like Satya, Aetherflux Genius, Izzet Generatorium and Aether Refinery.
I would also suggest some finishers like Electrostatic Pummeler, Razorfield Ripper and Whirler Virtuoso

Otherwise, great deck :)

If you want to make the deck a little broken maybe consider Conspiracy, Orah, Skyclave Hierophant and Profane Prayers.
The first will ensure all creatures on your side of the board are clerics which will also pair well with Profane Prayers.
Also Orah can also fix your graveyard issue and keep your board stocked.

If you're going for a red/green build like you said then maybe consider Replicating Ring as a compliment Svella's ability to create more snow permanents.

This looks really good mate, well done. :)

Many thanks for the idea, will remove a card to include it.
I also replaced a mountain to include Forbidden Orchard as an extra mana fix and blocker generator.

Have you considered cards like Master's Call, Myr Kinsmith, Myr Matrix and Myrsmith?
