;) so many people I know think that mana curve is the least of their concerns when designing a deck...
Truth be told, that little bar graph on the side is the main reason I started skulking around this site. Its just so damn useful

well, I was trying to keep variance in the tokens, for things like engineered plague, echoing truth, ect.
but, that being said, I did really want to put custodi soulbinders in here, but I just don't know what to pull.
same goes for the enchantment creatures... especially mr. countless battles.
as for the swords, yes, I get it. but then there are such good tutors, protection, the new white walker, and suddenly its not the aura-tron deck I was originally attracted to.

I did drop brimaz for sacred mesa. it keeps the same level of variance with more control over the generation, and trades vigilance for flying.

The unique feeling of the aura-tron build is what attracted me originally. (massive thumbs up)
I've been trying to mess the list a bit here and there, but i keep on massively skewing the curve. The only things i would concrete change would be rector for ajani, Spear of heliod for Glorious Anthem, and high ground for brave the sands. everything else just has so much synergy.
Here's a short list of things I'm trying to work in:

Brimaz, King of Oreskos
Heliod, God of the Sun (I poop enchantment tokens!)
Replenish
Eldrazi Conscription
Archetype of Courage
Eidolon of Countless Battles
Rootborn Defense
Sphere of Safety
Wake the Reflections
Suspension Field
Abzan Falconer
Herald of Anafenza
Wingmate Roc
Ainok Bond-Kin
Abzan Battle Priest
Crucible of Worlds
Dust Bowl
Flagstones of Trokir

The last three are a bit of a LD engine that isn't going to come out enough to really annoy people, but when it does it's freaking beautiful.

(And just as a note, my regular group at the shop is all about what works. The only thing anyone really gets annoyed with is infinite combos... )

What are your thoughts?

Hey man, thanks for the reply.
I didn't mean to throw any work at you, but I had to ask. I have a couple of ideas but my natural inclinations pull me toward a equipment voltron build, which is a different animal from what you have here.
I guess what i find most surprising is the lack of things like Academy Rector, Replenish, Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor, etc. And the lack of Board Wipes.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aside from "army in a can" cards, our main game plan is to play out 2-3 dudes (namely Isamaru), enchant 'em, and beat face. Or am I not reading the token generation sub-theme strongly enough?
I just feel that there should be some sort of mass removal, whether it be Austere Command, Winds of Rath (C'MON!), or something else.
Also, I know it's a dick move, but do you think the Armageddon-Route-Crucible-Strip Mine-Wasteland etc package has a place here? Personally I would love to see it.

Sorry for the wall.
Thanks :)

Hey, I know this is super necro, and I apologize in advance.
I was just wondering if you had ever made any updates to the deck with release of subsequent sets....
I always enjoyed this deck concept and am thinking of throwing something like it together IRL.
Just wanted a take/ some input from its progenitor.
Thanks.

I think it would be beneficial to try and squeeze in a Vesuva and maybe even a Deserted Temple. Copy Coffers/Crypt, summon Maga that much harder. Temple is kinda on the same vein, but it also has a nice synergy with the Port, both yours, and an opponents ;)

You have a MUCH higher concentration of white mana than blue. I would recommend pulling 4-5 islands for more plains :)

Try control magic over mind control, same spell, costs one less. Also, counterspell over cancel (costs 1 less)
isochron scepter is an uncommon, albeit expensive, and would love a counterspell or doom blade.
