Deck Description

I would totally put the theme song here if I didn't think I would get a slap on the wrist for it.

I have no idea why I'm building Tempo like mad lately, but so far this, and the Grixis one, are the most fun I've had with it since before Mental Misstep.

Deck discussion for Team America

Oh Mental Misstep...how I miss thee.

I find it very strange you have Jitte in the SB and B. Collar in the MB, but otherwise I like it a lot. The two singleton spells seem a bit out of place though. I think you would do better to have one of them become a 2-of.

Hey, by the way, I posted up my latest design for my Iso-Seek and I'd like a second opinion on it if ya don't mind =]

I personally don't miss it, it kind of ruined Legacy for a while to me. Nobody was even willing to play Goblins without it, just for the sake of having an out to the opponents Mental Misstep.

I just always feel compelled to play Basilisk Collar in the MB if I have Grim Lavamancer, it's too good a setup to pass up. Jitte is probably the better option, for the sake of versatility, but for now I want to test the effectiveness of it. I'm taking out PtE, I'd rather have more burn on tap than it in the list to be honest.

I will quite shortly, I'm excited to see what you've done this time.

Oh man, I know the episode of Dr. Who that's from...That shit was sad, now I'm sad =[

And I can dig it. Always good to test things out.

David Tennant was one of the best doctors. Shit was indeed sad.

The collar is actually quite nice in the maindeck, but in all honesty there's a reason Jitte is the fork of death. And I think I'm going to have to go back to it.
Also, of all the things that could have spread through the vault, I would never have guessed that it would be I cam dig it.

Team America oddly enough is actually what BUG Tempo is normally called.

This deck looks nasty though. I would probably drop Ancestral Vision though. I have never really been a big fan of that card. Unless your playing shardless BUG i would avoid it.

That could open up a bunch of slots though, and honestly i really like at least 7 good cantrips in tempo decks like this. I would suggest 3 ponder's and that 4th delver.

I know, but I had been watching South Park while building, and thought to myself; What would team America do?

To be honest, I hate Ancestral Vision in almost every deck. This is the first time I've actually taken Ponder out of a deck to put it in, and I love it in this build. Shardless BUG and I don't get along, I think it ruined the wedge for me.

It would be nice to be at four Delver, but the value of Vision in this build would have me probably just drop down to three copies if I wanted to slip it in.
