my other idea was: 12 Deepwood Drummers 11 Elvish Pipers 10 Kargan Dragonlords! 9 Ivy Dancers 8 Bird Maidens 7 Swans of Bryn Argoll 6 Nimble Mongoose 5 Sol Rings 4 Squadron Hawks 3 Cockatrice 2 Dovescapes 1 Bird of Paradise or Utopia Tree

I think the shape anew targeting would be a bit wonky with all the extraneous artifacts (sucks to hit chalices as they would be worthless, prototypes without a card to imprint in hand, etc), that said, I really like the Precursor shape anew combo and think that if 4 precursors 4 Wurmcoils were your only artifacts(with maybe one or two other bomb targets), that it would be devastating.
I understand the no rares thing, but i think if you cut 4 Twisted images for 4 hands of the praetor this deck would be nigh unstoppable.
consider aristocrats and bloodthrones for added saccing ability? Bloodghasts can provide some great chain effects in vamp sac concepts.
Thanks for the memories. This deck made me smile.
I think wotc gave out emrakul like candy specifically to f#$% with Halimar Excavator + Rite of Replication.
I disagree, my bant allies wins with the rite+halimar condition very frequently, typically 4th or 5th turn, not saying its immune to a Jund deck full of maelstrom pulses, but the harabaz and cheap allies ramp mana super fast, canopy covers and negates are great for protecting these conditions.
and by the way i like it alot, check out my hellboy and the golden army deck for an even more ridculously expensive legacy version of splinter twin infinite tokens. =)
I'd go wall of denial rather then the sphinxes and negates rather then dispels.
totem guide hartbeast might be good too for an aura tutor.
also if you get on a roll with a crab umbrad harabaz and sea gate, its infinite card draw as well.
Halimar + rite of replication is another win condition. 9 mana for the rite is pretty easy with the harabaz even if you dont get the crab umbra on it. Since the harabaz can do any color of mana, the mountains arent really necessary, the fireball again is a win condition. Canopy covers are there for protecting the creature based win conditions. A Felidar Sovereign would add another win condition with rite + ondu cleric. I really do appreciate the input, if you were gonna cut for counterspells what would you do?.
Pacifisms will activate dancers and gnarlids where journeys won't.
Made some edits, had actually put the looters in last night when i built it, before I read your suggestion, good call.
Please tell me how this concept normally gets ripped to shreds. =)
what ratio would you suggest?
Decks like this just encourage the swinging of the nerf bat, but you can't help but love them anyway.
I think it probably needs a rancor or 3.
