well if thats the case, stop running around saying "yah i can beat almost any deck on this site," or saying "3-5 turns opponent must take in order to beat me before i have full control." you dont know that at all. all you can do is speculate. ive played tournies before, you learn so much thru it. id ont care what you say to me, how you criticize me but im telling you right now, your decks arent special,i can help you and it starts by overhauling every single deck you ever made.
what kind of deck would you like to make? ill address it tomorrow and give you pointers or something

ah well a deck that is "screw with ppl" is a waste of my time. however there are better decks, much better decks suitable to do the "screw with ppl" mentality. this one doesnt even come close at ALL. reminds me of a starter deck. he added cards making it type 1 yet he doesnt have much to go around. its basically an ant you walk over on without even knowing it.

yes dark ritual, first turn hypnotic specter. use badlands, sulfurous springs, megrims, rack, mind twist, lotus, jet, sapphire, paupers cage, maybe bottomless pit, hymn to tourach, etc....

black is one of the fastest producing mana out there in type 1. second color must be red or blue.

haha kill most decks you seen on this site? you havent even played them. all you can do is speculate. thats all we can do. and decks like yours, its not really hard to imagine victory against it. i hate to burst your bubble. hahaha.

um...i seen your most recent deck and some of the ones before, its no different from this one.

yah bluedevil, you know something is wrong when you dont care about a deck anymore and more interested in the argument, it only means that the deck was never interesting to begin with and sadly an argument is the only attention this area gets. and then you get james saying 'me too lol'

what does that tell you?

hahahahaha. everyone who views this deck here, dont forget to click "jamesgrim17" and be the judge of consistency.

james could you clarify on 'consistency' for me please?

who have you played? have you tried it in a tourney? trust me, you would get destroyed. youve got nothing but negative responses towards this deck. that just begs the question on who you have been playing when you say you win games with this..
this deck is utterly ridiculous

hahahahhaa not wise? hahah two years and this is the best kind of 'humor' you can come up with? jesus.

haha yah. inconsistent big time. nukifyed simply put it to terms. random as hell. what are teh odds of karma working? COPs?
james the best help here is to drop this deck altogether, you dont have purpose with this deck. find a theme and surround your cards to that specific plot. for instance i decided to make a standard deck real quick and came across elvish piper. i noticed all these gold powerful creature cards that will take 8-10 turns to cast. its highly impractical to build a deck to cast a 10 mana spell before getting wasted for at least 15 pts of damage or more. you may even be dead by then. so what i did was based everything around big creatures with powerful abilities and send them to play using pipers. in case my pipers died, i have cards to bring it back to play. if i dont have a piper i have cards to help me fetch them. when i need creatures that my deck cant cast, i be sure to have a piper in play and get that creature to my hand. it goes on and on. you also need to protect yourself from enchantments/artifacts/creatures. naturalize and maelstrom pulse come into play to bring help. you also need a secondary source because your combo dont always come to fruition, a plan B. you need a deck that works in harmony, consistency, not chaotic.

no shit but after you see his deck creativity you'll understand. i had to make a point to him. ive only been to one forum for MTG so far and ive been helping ppl there. im really not that cocky but when you come around and say this and that and you see their decks, its like jesus christ man. i have alreadyoffered to help build one of his deck, a discard. ill help anyone.
and yes ive played for a very long time in the 90s if i realize i have more experience than the person im going to tell them how it is. life isnt intersting without those with experience. now im not saying im the most experience as im sure there's plenty more to learn but not from some ppl.

wait so you tell me 'double trips and quads' speech and you say you need to double up? read what youreviltwin67 said, he used the magic word, 'consistency' and you turn around and try that same speech upon me?
i have a better idea james, just because you dont have the cards you need, add them anyways, and bookmark the page so that one day you can come back and make a checklist of what you need to complete your deck. dont just add one because you only have 1.
this deck is type 1 and/or 1.5. ive always had success using just 20 lands/40 spell ratio. depending on my spells that produce plenty of mana i may lower the land count and add the spell count a bit higher. it all depends.

if you need help making a discard deck i can help you, i once came in 3rd place in a 30 man tourney using a discard deck. black and red. single colored decks are weak in my opinion, you need more power and if you gonna play an all black deck you gotta have some nevinnyrals disk or something. you need a 'wrath of god' type card. its type 1/1.5, cruel world.

again you didnt read waht i said here, it is not standard, it is slow and would get crushed. you dont have enough experience with decks of type 1 or 1.5.

mine a starter deck? you obviously havent read them then. that 'fun' deck of yours would not be fun for me. it only goes to show my mind is far more evolved. 2 years and you really havent learned a thing? come on now, you can do better than that. why dont you go back to my decks and tell me whats wrong, at least the standard version, the last thing i want advice from you is for type 1. no thank you sir, not with how you are making decks like this. standard, im still new and open to ideas and have yet to learn all the cards to understand weaknesses.
consistency has its vital role. notice my lands, i have verdant catacombs, that cleans out lands out of my deck. do you see harrow? that also takes lands out of my deck. when you make your deck free of lands, you give yourself a better chance at drawing a card you need. you ever thought of that? ive been playing since the mid 90s. thawing glaciers used to be the hottest thing for that. you wouldnt know that cuz you been in here for a mere 2 years. in type 1 i would be very careful to pull out all my lands, too many land destroying cards available.
you see some of the cards that help me draw? diabolic tutor helps, gifts of the gargantuan helps. you didnt really read my deck. its combo based but its not gonna stall if i dont get what i want. again you didnt read.
what do you know, you only have two years experience and yet the best you can come up with is a walmart cheap deck for fun. you make cheap decks that are not standard but type 1 or 1.5 and you still cant think of anything that powerful.

i checked your deck jamesgrim and even commented on some, you arent too special you know. i dont wanna come off as rude but i can easily determine my experience far overmatches yours.

lol entity, he was telling me something about inconsistency even wtih me having triple or quad of one card, ive been checking his decks and at least 4 of them have just one card of this or that. he shouldnt really be telling me much. its laughable.

celestial purge should be sideboard. use a different card thats universal, not specific types. you dont knwo what deck you'll be playing against. second match, you sideboard and you get rid of the useless cards for cards such as celestial purge.
again this deck is type 1 or 1.5 at the very least. why do you only have one solemn offering? you dont have much experience do you? add 3 more, drop the patrician's scorn and dispeller's capsule. the patrician's scorn card will screw over your oblivion ring which i assume is against the opponent. whats the point of having it? you need more control with using the solemn offering or dispellers capsule. use the offering, you get life.
i give up commenting on this deck, what did you do? buy a starter deck? i know you didnt, but its close enough.

lol, since this deck is not standard, it would get crushed. im an old school MTG player, i can make a deck crush this quicker. honestly this deck needs an overhaul if its gonna be type 1 or 1.5. the fact that you have nothing to help generate mana, its utterly slow. type 1, 1.5 or extended produces mana utterly fast. obviously you dont know because you dont have a single card indicating such knowledge. you have work to do.

i know that, but would you rather i just put one of each card? i was merely posting scenarios. WoW section has an option where you can do it and they have yet to port it over to the MTG section. i dont need that stuff, i can use my head. played the game long enough, i know how it works. having triples and quads helps with consistency, no matter how you shake it around.
burn decks have more consistency than, say, a deck like this one. if not, you are doing something wrong, altho i am referring to type 1. i have yet to see what standard has to offer in the name of 'burn'
as far as combo base goes, why do you see that ive added other reasons to damage opponent. i know i wont always get what i want, random plays its inevitable role in all of life.
i definitely should add more creature control since standard is all about creatures which i am learning. i am more of a type 1 player, my history revolved around it throughout the 90s. ive only been studying standard a week now and i made this deck without thinking of the weaknesses that the colors could do. but i made damn sure to add maelstrom pulse and naturalize for starters. sideboard i put hideous end. thats a great card. i could also add to it with bloodchief ascension to the deck but i put it in the sideboard for now, hopefully ppl can just read what it is and put that little light bulb over their heads.
type 1 version of this deck would go so much smoother. id take the black out for blue.

1st turn birds of paradise. 3rd turn elvish piper, 4th turn magister sphinx. That alone is 10 damage. 5th turn hellkite, opponent is down to 2 life. If he blocks it, well have fun with the trample. You have nearly indestructible bloodghasts to keep at opponent. you have maelstrom pulse to keep opponents creatures out of the way or other permanents.

Harrows, gifts of the gargantuans verdant catacombs help clean your deck of lands and specific cards which allows only spell cards. making the deck efficient.

this deck will produce 5 mana in 3 turns. The standard decks of the moment has lots of enchantments and artifacts. naturalize them. blood tribute, only 1 is needed, its a high cost BUT you have the possibility of casting it on the 4th turn. That right there is about 7-10 damage.

Soul's majesty, diabolic tutor, gift of gargantuan.
