exactly. props wickeddarkman

ok so here is my issue with it: it makes me discard. this deck doesnt need discard, and the only time discarding is necessary is if i have things like another wierd or island in my hand that i dont need, but that may not always happen. the chances of me having two junk cards to discard are not that high even when considering all the draw in this deck. i cant risk having to discard 2 cards that i may need later on. so to answer your question, it would hurt the deck more than help.

Maybe so, but the deck is pretty straightforward as it is. Adding in another card could upset the balance too much

great options! insist kinda seems moot since i wont need to cast another creature, but even then its still a good alternative. i will hold off on repeal because i have a friend that likes to use a playset of swerve and i dont need that biting myself in the ass. leap and cloak of feathers are also good options, so long as i dont have to face a turn 1 suntail hawk or ornithopter. my only real complaint about these is that they arent modern, but even then i dont really care THAT much lol

very good sir!

yeah i prefer battlewise valor and show of valor myself

amen to that

also good ideas, just not for this deck. needs moar draw :/

Actually he said nothing was more "satisfying" that a turn 1 hoplite, but i will give you this one. Touché good sir

yeah but the combo you just mentioned isnt legal outside of vintage. this is a standard deck

Halimar is good if you have a spare Gitaxian available, as is the serum/scour follow-on. elixer is good only if you have the extra mana to use it, but not a bad idea either. unsummon is useless here because not a lot of decks that i have personally seen have a high chance of a turn 1 creature, and even if there is one, aphotic will only help if the thing isnt black or an artifact. storm entity is also a good idea, but he is too expensive for this deck

good to know about the autumn. as for pyromancer, the tokens do not have haste like the akroan tokens do, but the akroan only works if i target him directly, which the spells in this deck design dont do. great ideas, but not for this deck

this is what i ran at game day. it didnt do so great against people in the tournament, but i single-handedly stomped 5 hydra heads into the ground for a come from behind victory. heroic is hard to balance right i think, but it can be done

...really? Read the "How to Play" noob.

im aware that it isnt modern legal. i made it for casual play mostly, but you can sub out stuff to make it modern no problem. thats why there are cards in the SB.

those are great suggestions if only with one critical problem, they all cost 2 mana. this deck demands that things primarily cost 1, with a few exceptions like grapeshot and reverberate. serum powder is a huge gamble so i think i will pass on it. i might consider edge of autumn because i really only need 2 of my land. i will SB it for now

multiplayer modification of your original deck design. what do you think?

my thoughts exactly. i would make this purely to piss off my friends every now and then

drop reliquary tower, dragonstorm, numot, intet, 1 utvara, and 1 valkas. add another shaman, another outcast, 3-4 dragon egg, cavern of souls, and about 9 land

also wouldnt hurt to swap out a kodama for a cultivate. just to balance it out

keep telling yourself that bro lol

add black and swap out a few of your counterspells for different ones. all i really have to say about this one
