the theme is sound, but its not cost effective. if your gunna get black lotus and ancestral recall then you need to build a flash hulk deck, painter/grindstone, or goblin charbelcher deck, all of which are turn 1 decks if used properly.

if you want to improve on your current deck you need to drop the extra baggage like darksteel sentinel, and steel wall. there are much better choices for tinker fodder like sol ring and lotus petal. you also need brainstorm as a speed source to make sure that if this combo doesnt go off turn 1 it will turn 2.

personally i would use pact of negation in here rather then force of will. youv got the mana accel to pull it off and it wont cost you another card

5000 isnt even close to how much this deck is worth.

4x black lotus = at minimum 8 grand

4x ancestral recall = at minimum 2600

2x time walk = at minimum 1200

4x mishras workshop = at minimum 2000

4 x mox sapphire = at minimum 2000

your lookin at a 16,000 dollar deck here my man, unless your a multi-millionaire this deck is impossible to own

4 tolarian academy comes out to 160 bucks, which itself is too much.

decks like this are fun to think about, and tons of fun to play with proxies, but there arnt many people who could actually assemble this deck

or u could drop it to 4 and then add 4 lava spikes and 2 chain lightning

overgrowth isnt necessary in here, switch it out for lightning greaves. your 2 win conditions in here r creatures which makes them extremely vulnerable to removal like doomblade.

of course not, but winning the championship is nothing more then luck. at the top level of mtg it is impossible to distance yourself from the competition by a large margin, especially in standard. naya decks were the norm in standard play, this one isnt very different from tons of others ive seen.

im not denying the players skill, the rest of the deck is quite good, but the planeswalker can be killed with a single lightning bolt, and considering the metagame (which is absolutely full of lightning bolts) this is a very likely occurance

personally i would have foregone the plainswalkers, ive never liked them.

im very confused about the purpose of this deck, could you outline it for me

i think this deck is stretched a little too thin, the goblin theme doesnt halp the artifacts, and the artifacts barely help the goblins, plus it dilutes both themes

i narrowed it down to basilisk collar and sword of body and mist. honestly i could go either way. collar is cheaper, sword gives a boost. i like em both

i absolutely love stasis decks, they might be my favorite type. you deff need to add chronatog in here, it is another way to win with stasis. this also lets you use muddle the mixture to transmute for either piece of the combo. i would deff use a little more search in here ,the quicker you grab stasis the less the opponent will be able to do, if you play stasis turn 3 thats pretty much game, check my stasis deck "kiss from a rose" for more ideas

here is a wicked game

turn 1- land, goblin gaveleer
turn 2- land, stoneforge mystic
turn 3- land, use the mystics abil to put argentum armor on the field
turn 4- kor outfiter, smash and crash with a 9/7 trample, thats game



by the way, if anyone can tell me the significance of the decks title without googling it ill comment on most of their decks

hey my man i finished my first necropotence deck, its called velshtein equivolency, check it out

here is a good game

turn 1- land
turn 2- land
turn 3- land and necropotence
turn 4- land, pay out 19 life, draw 19 cards, play duress to make the opponent discard that counterspell, play 9 spells (0 mana) then tendrils, win

the best part of this deck is that pact of negation is absolutely free

i absolutely love this combo. i made one of these myself a while back, i find that a few more counterspells are necessary to keep the combo going. i also like a turn 4 concentrate to refill the hand and find the combo pieces faster

black vise is the best win condition in a stasis deck, you also need chronatog in here, it is anohter way to pull of the stasis stall

y amy friend that sounds like a great idea. ive already got a couple ideas of what to do. maybe i will make 2 to 3 decks based around the bad A necropotence. i have a few questions though. are you planning on using the idea or deck i make, cause if you are and price is a problem just let me know and ill make em a budget version. i own some pretty tight lands and they really help out a deck but i totally understand that they are out of most peoples budget range.

as for unknown hunter, thats an excellent idea. the hunter is my friend and can dominate this deck idea

i wont be able to start working on them till monday cause i have to do some gradschool applying and such, but come monday its game time

if you have any other challenges or anything just let me know, and ill make sure to check your decks soon
