That's a really expensive addition considering this isn't a very expensive deck

Grammar Nazis would have a field day with this conversation

Dude what the fuck does that even mean?

Dude please for the love of all things sacred learn to fucking spell

Why in the hell are you suggesting red cards for a mono blue deck? The deck doesn't need removal because it wins by deck out. Removal would be a waste of mana. And goblin guide is straight aggro. It's not needed here

Noooooooo don't go :'(

Automatic downvote

Also, a mono black deck using all the creatures and spells that key off of how many swamps you have. I would like to see this if at all possible, within a $50 budget since I know a few of those cards are a bit higher than 25¢

Could always use Bone splinters. One drop kill and it frees up one of your weapons. Also altars reap for some draw

Combo that with living plane and start stealing land rofl

I love combos like that! I've tried building decks that do that to almost everything, but it's hard. Might go the route of edh and see if that works

Thanks guys! I appreciate it!

Once I get home I will try and remember to upload it. I just got married today so I'm currently on vacation

Deathtouch though

Hornet nest?

I've got a deck that does the same general thing. It's white black and uses the will of the council keyword from conspiracy. It trolls so hard in multiplayer because I'm not the bad guy making the decisions. I leave that to everyone else. Hence its name , Democracy! Sadly I don't have it on vault for some reason so I cannot share it :(

And of the three, I brought up the one that actually is worth it: Mindslaver. I take it you've never heard of a Mindslaver lock then? Because we all know that wasn't a real thing, but obviously well after mana burn was abolished. What I'm referring to was the fact that I've seen legacy decks that will burn someone using only their land and then, since they are tapped out, they just lay into them. Win by mana burn? No, that's not something you would likely see. Using it to reach a win? Yes, that's likely.

I know that simply tapping a land with my own card doesn't add mana to the pool, but I was actually referring to stuff like turn control (i.e. Mindslaver). I'm not some know nothing player, but I guess I just worded it wrong

Very nice!

I always figured they were just evolving the game. I'm not going to try and discuss the finer points of control because it's not my preferred style of play, so there's that. What I do want to touch on is the hexproof over shroud but you mentioned. While it has been a long while since they printed a card with shroud on it (I think helix pinnacle was the most recent. May be wrong on that), it's not that they didn't like the mechanic or that it was too hard to work around, but not being able to target your own stuff is incredibly frustrating. I think that that is the reason for hexproof being created, but shroud isn't gone. As for mana burn, considering that people would use it to kill people by making them trap all their mana for massive amounts of basically free damage, I can see why that had to go. It was ruining the fun of the game
