Yeah well, I'm used to such underhanded cheap tricks in my community. Besides, I was expecting him to do that since he is an Elf fan and he ALWAYS beats my beast decks with his Elf Death Star deck. (Which if had used, I would simply have scooped up everything and just gone home.)Well here is what I think was his deck, he left in quiet a hurry after losing that badly to me. http://www.mtgvault.com/anon88/decks/elvish-pauper/

Quick update on the outcome of the challenge... 2-1 VICTORY and against Elves NO LESS!!!!The rascal thought to pull as fast one on me and created a Pauper Elf deck that was very fast. My only saving grace was Beast Within, I used it at the right time and destroyed his entire combo.First match: I was taken by surprise by his Elf deck, had no chance at keep up with him and ended up having to concede the loss. I took the opportunity to watch his moves and got the gist of his combos.Second match: Was going to turn out just like the first save for a surprise Beast Within move that essentially crippled his entire combo and left baffled at the comeback. Swung for a quick assault in my turn followed by a Thundering Hooves.Third match: We were both wary of each other's hands and played the stalling game, it was hit and miss, but a Beast Within followed by a Destructive Revelry gave me the win. (he had lost a lot of life to double Impact Tremors and a couple of attacks)I can finally say I managed to beat an Elf Deck with a Beast Deck. Will post his deck online as soon as possible.
Yeah, hence why I opted for the Ravenous Baloth and Fresh Meat combo.
Well he told me creature type Beast only, hence why I avoided Changelings as they are all creature types. In terms of cost, he didn't specify so I was aiming below 25 dollars if possible. (since I'll have to buy it and wreck him with it to prove my point)
Yes in theory that's how it works. The cards will keep in checking if there is any life lost/gained and the cycle continues. All he/she would need to do is use a simple Alms of the Vein or Blood tithe.As a quick suggestion you need card drawing/searching to get the right cards out fast. Try looking into Beseech the Queen or Diabolic Tutor.
I was going to suggest Tunnel Ignus or even Zo-Zu for opponent land punishment.Was also going to suggest Undergrowth Champion or Scute Mob as blockers and finishers.
Sorry for sounding stupid, but why are you playing Eidolon if the majority of your spells are 3 mana or less?
Looks way better than the first one :)Also check out the following:Draconic RoarSarkhan's Triumph
Added three extra lands instead of the Sculptors, seems better now thanks.
You're right about the Sculptor was trying to get the main cards out cheaper.Might exchange for other lands or maybe Alloy Myr.As per the lack of cards to play, hence why I have Mystic Speculation and Junktroller, to keep getting the cards I need.
Check out my version of the combo you found:http://www.mtgvault.com/anon88/decks/oracles-paradox-3/
How about Pardic Dragon or Skyship Stalker for "quick" creature drops.Also, check out Utvara Hellkite for that extra creature token generation.
I was going to suggest he adds more like Blight Mamba.
Interesting deck idea, I'd suggest the following instead of the creatures you are using:Blessed SpiritsCelestial AncientAura GnarlidEidolon of Countless BattlesLost AuramancersEidolon of BlossomsHerald of the PantheonPlus here are some other cards that could be useful:Open the ArmoryEthereal Armor
Thanks for the ideas
Nice combo, keep it up.
All are great ideas, but I'm trying to keep the deck cheap for him. Cryptolith Rite is actually just what I needed to add just in case he lacks extra mana.
Love the concept, keep it up.
I was thinking that, since the card did not say anything, the exiled creatures would be faced down making the choice harder. Unfortunately, the rules state otherwise which would have made it quiet cruel especially if there were two shells in exile.
I was going to tell you to add Bronzebomb Shell into the deck,but once I checked the Dubious Challenge rules I felt let down :(.http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=417725Brilliant Deck as always.
