To me, this discussion is even more Hillaryous than the deck. Have you guys Trumped common sense? Your wit Sunders into pieces and this is the outcome.You're afraid of america, not global warming, pollution nor that we've passed the exploitation's point for many resources nor the drop of pokemongo's popularity, while still believing 11 september may have been an inside job *facepalm*Since the time the word "country" has been used, never there was a direct democracy, for the facts we are too many and most of us are stupid and/or ignorant on most issues an organization as big and complex as a state has to face. So most countries are representative democracies, which for conspiracy's fans becomes immediately labelled as oligarchy. It's just natural for men in power to abuse it, doesn't mean there have to be a system or a scheme (on bigger scale) behind it. Maybe one day our children or grandchildren thanks to the web will have a more direct way for managing their country, who knows.Also usa and other europeans countries may go down an ugly road, but it's anachronistic comparing them to nazis. All totalitarisms (fascism, nazism, communism) took the last step to come to power and kept it through force. Nowadays that would be impossible (for usa and eu). For war, you don't have to worry: we were born on the right side of the world for this era. 1st world countries will just continue (although less and less) to wage war...ahem ahem, sorry, to export democracy onto 3rd (or unstable 2nd) countries for their own benefit. We will never witness WW III outsides movies and games, just local small scale conficts. Nuclear warheads are just for playing "who has it bigger" with putin and allies (and of course obama always win at this game).So just relax, enjoy magic, try reading more books and less comments (except mine, of course ;) or poor articles on internet, all while keeping an open and unbiased personal point of view.If you feel offended, so did my brain reading the comments above (except Umoonpuca)If not, http://i.imgur.com/N6zYmvE.jpg?1 , so now you should.Still nothing? http://img0.joyreactor.com/pics/post/funny-pictures-auto-joke-trollface-473448.jpeg

Never said you cast it on turn 4, but with your strategy you have to survive/not lose until turn 6 or 7 (having no mana acc), then you cast living lore and is your opponent turn. He has 6 to 8 mana, hasn't used a single removal spell since living lore is the first creature you've casted, so they probably are sitting on at least 2 of them, you have 2 or 3 mana to counter at least both, not mentioning opponent's permanent's abilities, and besides that you have to last one more turn. Up to me, winning like this is more unlikely than what i have suggested. In either original, mine or your version once the opponent finds out the strategy, on second game you're never gonna win (if they aren't retarded), end of the line, because the combo is not cheap while it's too frail.
lolEveryone knows that, it was just a typing mistake.Anyway if the opponent can kill lore with an instant or an ability during your turn (as others have pointed out, any decent modern deck should be able to), then he can do so even better and easier on their turn since lands untap. What control could you possible use when you need 4 mana to cast lore and make it survive untill your next turn?Never said this was a winning foulproof strategy, but sure with the right sorcery this way you win on turn 5 (with two colors you don't even have to get lucky with lands) if the opponent didin't see it coming and/or has no way to counter it, it's not something that will happen much, still better than how it is now or trying to add control when you don't have the mana for it, of course this is all my opinion, based on the reasoning above.
Sorry I meant grizzet deck, red blue green. If you have 5 mana and the opponent has at least one non hexproof creature, you cast living lore, cast prey upon, living lore inflicts fight damage (should kill the creature too) and it triggers.You can do similar with spells that give haste, e.g. Expedite, and use only two colors, since neither black nor green are essential here.
Change mana to R-B-G: keep the discarding spells, keep living lore, add Prey Upon x4, put some big meanie spellssss that let you win by themselves (Epic sorceries for example) aaaand this deck gets a little better.Not competitive but with this tuning you might actually win, who knows.
To Françisco: hope is worth something, bhaaaa!
