Very nice suggestions. I especially missed Ashnod's Altar. Sanguine bond combo is cool and all, but the only thing really that will trigger it is Exquisit blood. It's a bit far fetched and it's just not what I'm going for, I simply needed some lifegain. (I'm running the sanguine/exquisit combo in my esper life gain deck already as well) It betrays is awesome, but.. it's actually a bit too awesome. It will scare the fellas I play with, and th egoal is to have fun :)

Yeah that combo was actually in the preconstructed deck.. it just wasn't fun for anyone.
OK so, you seem to have the impression I'm going for a white weeine, this is not the case. I'm aiming more of a tempo/midrange deck, where the lifegain serves as tempo (and on the same time helping the pridemates grow).I like the idea of having the Aegis fellas in SB, but except for mill (which noone seems to play) it won't help vs a lot. I have enough lifegain to negate any burn deck.Regarding the amount of one-offs it's simple. Versatility is something I really like and having several different angles in the deck to help me win usually works for me.Triplicate spirits is something I am concidering changing, I noticed when playtesting that unless dictate is on board it feels very weak, but unsure what to fill the spot with. You mention adding another spear and Hopeful Eidolon.Eidolon feels like it would fit in well, so I'll think that over some, but a second spear? Why? It's legendary, I only need one of them ever, so I'm curious why you'd like a second spear?The Devouring lights are better than reprisal imo anyday, as not only can they hit any creature (except pro-white and hexproof ofc) they also exiles which can be important, and well worth the 1 extra mana cost (which you can convoke).Stormbreath will be a huge issue, and I'm not sure what to SB for it, anything Pro-white will ofc be, as is always the case when playing mono colored.Wall of essence is awesome, I love the card, but it gives the opponent the decicion when to give me life and that's why I prefer the Ram's, they ensure I get one life a turn meaning pridemates WILL grow :)Thanks a lot for your input, I will think it over, and please don't hessistae to lay some more advices on me, I really appretiate to see how other players reason :)
Thanks man, I proxied it the other day and playtested it some and it seems very solid so far :)
Simple strategy but effective. I would drop a Spirit Link for another Armadillo cloak, as if you don't get trample on the Hydra it won't be doing much. Then I would drop the other 2 Spirit links for 2 more Aegis of the God's (or you will be vulnerable to "target player sacrifice a creature" )Thanks for leaving feedback on my http://www.mtgvault.com/jestrix/decks/constellations-for-orzhov/ Much appreciated. :)
Yeah the wave crash tritons are too slow and clunky and you rarely want to use their heroic trigger.I went with 4 Duskmantle seers instead for a nice bomb on turn 4
Unless you want to keep your own creature tapped down, Hands of binding won't trigger any heroic effects.
You do something on turn two, you play hidden strings or Aqueous form (and save the second mana for mizzium skin or Boon) this is ofc IF you started with a Tormented hero :P
I run almost a copy of this deck :)I took out the wave crash tritons however, they weren't doing enough as I always wanted to trigger the other heroics more :)So I got my self 4 duskmantle seer's.I also cut Thassa and 1 Triton tactics for 2 Nighthowlers.The deck works really well :)
Ah I missed that part, I thought there was a limit on the price tag only :)
What about Ember Swallower? It's only 50 cents, but would fit great in this deck :)
Same here :)
Hehe Fun idea :P Almost pauper :DIt Will take for ever however, and would come up with anything that can counter or destroy the Mill stones/Door keepers.. ><Also, I'm not sure 21 lands is enough, you want to be able to cast a wall (or other spell) as well as mill with the stones and the door keeper.But whenever someone tries a Mill deck, I'm all for it, one of my favorite types of decks :)
Alright, makes sense :)
Hehe fun, but why so many Domri's? :)
-2 Wall of Frost+2 Caryatid-2 Aqueous Form+2 Alpha Authority-2 Triton Tactics+1 Negate+1 Mizzium SkinDefending your only winning condition should be priority one :)
Love the deck name and where this is going. I'm a big fan of Simic ( http://www.mtgvault.com/jestrix/decks/bio-brew/ ) <-- currently my main deck.The Prophet IS amazing, I can't believe how little it's seen play so far. I'm a bit dubious on how much you rely on Evolve (I tried it before and it always felt unstable and slow) Would be happy to hear how this deck works out for you, especially with the Unexpected Results, been curious about it, but not tried it so far.
Only input I can come up with would be switch the numbers on Etheral Armor and Unflinching Courage.
I like your reasoning sir! :)
But what creatures are you willing to sacrifice for it? If you add the casting cost for a creature as well, the mana cost isn't that different. I really think you will do better with Read the Bones in the long run, I don't think the mana difference is a big deal as in general you won't need to draw card on turn two :)
