Deck discussion for Forsaken Transcendence

Cool it's good to see some other people answer the deck challenge. Anyway this is good I think Demonic Tutor would go great in here though. Comment on my Transcendence deck Transcendent Flame.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can't pay life you don't have. Since you can't gain life, you have a finite amount or resources that can be used to untap the Colossus once you get your key enchantments down on the table. Perhaps you could play Force of Nature instead? He doesn't tap if you don't pay his upkeep, so it shouldn't matter if you don't pay it. His mana cost is pretty green-heavy, so he may not be the absolute best creature fo the job, but it's the only creature that fits the theme I can come up with right now.

Also, I think you should replace Path to Exile with Swords to Plowshares, as with a Forsaken Wastes out StP's drawback it mitigated completely.

Finally, perhaps a copy or two of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth could find it's way into the deck to help get the necessary black mana to fuel Crypt Rats.

I'm curious to see the real deck this is based off of; did you actually have a Trancendence before this deck challenge came up?

hmm. I didn't know that I couldn't pay life I don't have; when I used the deck, and it's far more budget than this, it was always in multiplayer and that issue was never presented to me, so maybe it was just sliding through the cracks all the time. In the other version I've been using mass damage as a finisher, so I'll post that. It's got a lot of tempest painlands, but maybe this would be a good deck for voltaic key.
