Deck discussion for Ruining Modern Night

I'd say you only need 26 lands in this, you have serum powder which can be used for mana.
You should be able to hit 5 mana reliably with just 26 lands, regardless of the powder, so 28 is too many.

That's fair.

There are actually a couple of tools on the web that can calculate the odds for you, but my own reason for knowing this, is that I both have a past in simulations and have designed countless mill decks where I wanted to hardcast archive trap.

Frank karsten has some old pages on the topic of mana.

I didn't know what Archive Trap was, so I looked it up and it looks interesting. Would you recommend that or something more aggressive like Traumatize or Mirror-Mad? I don't know the meta right now, but if people are searching their libraries that awesome!

Wow, what I haven't got to say about mill :)
Search for the DECKtag: wdm mill winter
Especially the article: why classic mill fails

Or you can try out viewing my personal: wdm mill guide

I could go on this topic for hours.

I had a deck like this once. It used Shared Fate, which is an enchantment that gets rid of the draw step entirely and forces players to exile and play the top cards of opponent's decks. With Leveler, the opponent is forced to only use cards in their hand while you exile and play their deck against them one turn at a time.

Sounds like fun :)
How do you think shared fate as a deck would be if it played lots of cards like robber of the rich and ragavan, the pilferer?

If you mean, by using Shared Fate, that the opponent has these cards and you are playing them, it would be absolutely hilarious. If you mean having these cards in the deck with Shared Fate, me and this guy are/were working with Mono-Blue, and if it became a Red/Blue deck, Robber would become redundant late game, since Shared Fate/Leveler will net you more cards than the opponent (they are "sorta-drawing" from your empty and exiled library, so their hand is all they have left to play). Ragavan is cool, aside from it's great ability, he reminds me of the Kaladesh story WotC released with the set.

I was thinking of a "shared robber deck" where you stole parts before exchanging decks. The reasoning is that you want a deck that is basically useless if the leveler plan fails.
Not sure if it would work, which is why I ask :)
What's the story called ?

It's just the stories on their website that you can read that goes along with the sets of cards. Ragavan is the monkey that is with Kari Zev, Skyship Raider in the story. He's even on the artwork for Kari's card.

Heh, read the story.
Loved the moment where ragavan is webbed and all three of them falls uncontrollably and he just starts pilfering :)
