No crucible of worlds?

As much as I like what you're doing here, hands down the best color group to do suspend with is red/blue. Red just had so many speed up/slow down effects for suspend that it's nuts. Plus, arc blade is fun if you get a few on different cycles.

There isn't enough you can do in a single turn to get grapeshot high enough for it to be worth it here. Ascension could work, but I don't know how well it would mesh with this deck. It's usually a drop it and spam bolts until you kill then kind of thing

I'm suddenly very angry with my friends now that you've explained this. So many times I've been cheated because of this exact problem...

Fair enough. Was just a thought though.

Just had a random thought. You could run Generator Servant and drop master on turn three with haste

I only care about likes because it shows me that I made a good deck that people appreciate. Beyond that I'm not competing for anything

Siege also allows for discard, not just tutelage

It wouldn't really affect the deck in any way. Yeah it helps me out, but it also helps everyone else. The deck is designed to be about choice and the options of whether or not you will allow something to benefit me or hurt you. Lattice doesn't fit that theme. It's still a fantastic card, but not here I think

You should really replace faithless looting. It will only hurt in a deck like this. Try using one of the other wisp spells from the llorwyn block. The red one is nice

Multiplayer most definitely. More fun that way. And I'll look around for a better challenge

I was actually considering all of those options. I like Daxos the most since constellation triggers when it enters vs being cast like with sigil. It would probably be the better option here. I'll toss a few in I guess

I've got a hard one for you: Naked Singularity. Let's see what you can do.

I've actually used a deck similar to this that was combined with cards from Conspiracy that did fairly well, but only in multiplayer games. I picked these cards primarily because I've seen how well they work in games firsthand. That being said though, I was greatly considering switching this to be an Abzan build initially, but the land base gets tight running three colors sometimes. Rancor doesn't fit my theme here but I've always wanted to use it in something. Survival looks fantastic, but the price on it is painful. I actually abuse Sterling Grove in another deck of mine so I'm well aware of how broken it would be in a deck like this. And the Abundant Growth style setup sounds nice, but then that takes away from the main deck idea a little.

* Fate Unraveler may not seem useful but adding in the threat of Grim Guardian makes things get tight very quickly, And it serves as a kind of countdown clock if they get in a pinch. I've had it happen before and it works well. A single Guardian, Unravler, and Coinsmith gets ridiculous very quickly if left alone, which they often are.

* Nope I don't own Serra's Sanctum. Don't feel like adding an extra $100 to the deck either because i would probably only add 2. I'm not willing to pay that for a casual deck like this.

* Haven't done any testing so I don't have the base mana figured out yet. It's just at 20 for now while I work out the finer details later on.

Got a new deck for you guys to check out. Let me know what you think and drop a line for any decks you feel could use some outside attention. Thanks!

The ninja is a better option though. Once master gets through, whether by no blocking or rogues passage, using the ninjas ability is game. Yeah the lands are cheaper, but they would be better in a deck not running three colors. Yeah I know you can search for leechridden swamp with a fetch, but it comes in tapped regardless, which doesn't help

All good. I still like the premise

I wasn't really suggesting going the route of recruiting members in a forum, just having a kind of open secret about our group and trying to help people. As for people wanting to join, we can just simply state that new members are by invite only and preferably regularly contribute to the community, but that this does not guarantee am invite. In that way we aren't accepting just anyone into our "club" while still being helpful. Plus not everyone would need to view everything that got posted. You could just drop a line saying "hey i got this" on a request so that way we can see that someone took the time to look at it. Also if you do ever need to kick someone out and they start mouthing off like that, then they don't deserve to be in here in the first place. We all care (at least I hope we all do) about seeing other people improve and have a great time. Just some thoughts on what you said Puschkin.

Oh, and WoW reference for the win. I miss barrens chat lol

Random thought for everyone here. Once the forums open back up, would it be more useful to have a DHA forum post in which anyone can leave comments for us to view and then just keep this deck as our own private thing? I feel like that would be a great way to reach out to vault and better help anyone that wants it. Thoughts?

Love it! It's a very appropriate name too. Reminded me of my Relinquished deck using Staying Power and all the red Act of Treason variants to steal basically anything
