Something that I like with spikeshot elder is claws of valakut. But that was mentioned above. Thought I would second that. I have that combo in a deck, and it is devastating.

Only thing that I can think of would be to add elixir of immortality. For more pain. :). In case your disciple of the vault gets killed, or your opponents have an insane amount of life-gain. all in all thus looks very fun to play. Well built deck. :)
Sanguine bond would be great in here. With the vampiric link and sleeper agent combo. They CANT attack or even block with it unless they want to lose life. :). Other than that, this is a good solid deck. :)
Well. First off, I love force of savagery. So huge, for so cheap. :). You might add in spidersilk armor for an easier way to keep it alive. Along with the new ring, Ring of kalonia. Ring of kalonia would be very useful to force of nature, since it puts a +1/+1 counter on it each turn. I like this. It is very interesting. :)
Also, since you seem to like my interesting deck concepts, here is another favorite of mine. :) it is a red and black discard deck. Again, it is still in design stage but I have a few of the cards I need. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=326608
You can have multiple legendaries out, they just can't be the same card.
Dang... The mask makes this uber powerful.
Ok, so I made a few changes, and hopefully you like them. I sideboarded the champion, instead of goblin guide, to see how it plays, and I took out 2 dragonmaster outcasts, and all 4 righteousnesses. Added in 2 slumbering dragons, and 4 faith's shields. Mostly for its dateful hour ability.
My beef with planeswalkers is thus: according to MTG more, each player IS a planeswalker. So to SUMMON another planeswalker would put you in a different category. And if not, it seems strange to me that they have different rules than a player does. For example: they have 3-4 abilities, and can use them as many times as you want. But players are limited to what they have in hand. balance-wise it makes sense, but not lore-wise. It doesn't fit with the basic concept of what the player is in the game. Sorry if that was kinda a rant...
oo!!! I didn't even know that kirtar's desire existed. thanks. and THAT is why I like legacy players to give me suggestions. :) you guys know cards that I don't. :) will definately swap that out. I thought about black, but I noticed that there were not a whole lot of cards that I liked for the 1 mana requirement. Not saying black is bad... (favorite color) but it didn't seem to fit where I wanted to go with this. :) I could swap raging goblin for goblin guide, or perhaps the lavamancer of mother of runes would suit me better. Rebuff the wicked will get sideboarded, and I think mother of runes will replace raging goblin, and swap 2 lands for the lavamancers. again, thanks a ton for looking at this. I have wanted to build a deck like this for a while, and I just now am gonna be able to actually start gathering the cards for it. How do you think a deck like this would actually fare? obviously it wouldn't stand much of a chance against most good legacy decks, but I think it could be good casual. :) oh, and I will take a look at the decks you posted, and see if I can give some suggestions. :) and yeah, I could probably run on 19. or maybe even 18. probably will do that.
never said that this deck couldn't be beat, and plus... this wasn't ever meant as a serious legacy deck. just a fun casual one....
shrine of burning rage: at the beginning of your upkeep, or when ever you play a red spell, put a charge counter on Shrine of Burning Rage. tap 3, sacrifice Shrine of Burning Rage: Shrine of Burning rage deals damage to target creature or player. that could be it, or you could be thinking of sphinx bone wand. when you cast an instant or sorcery, you may put a charge counter on Sphinx Bone Wand. When you put a charge counter on sphinx bone wand, it deals damage to targer creature or player equal to the number of charge counters on Sphinx Bone Wand. I like both, but not in this deck. I don't have enough red spells, or instants and sorceries to really make either good in here. :) Thanks for th comment though. :)
I have a lockdown deck designed with leeches. I haven't tested it yet, but it can prevent a player from playing any spells for the rest of the game by turn 3.
um... and metalcraft. :)
I have never heard of ancient ziggurat before. Good card. I might swap rupture spire for it, because it doesn't come into play tapped, and I have very few non-creature spells. As for looking at your decks, sure. Post a link to what you want me to check out. :)
Thanks. I cant wait to get ahold of the cards to actually build this deck. It has come a long way from when I came up with the idea, to what it is now. :) I actually thought about it before scars came out. just have never had the time or money (sadly) to put it together. but.... I should be able to slowly now. anyways... thanks for all the comments and suggestions Mashitta. They have been a ton of help. :) I was wondering if you could help me out with another deck that I am designing. I have the link posted below somewhere. The concept is that everything is 1 CMC. I think what I have layed out is pretty solid, but having more than one perspective on things would be great. here is the link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=386636
I used to have the phytohydra in here, but it is just to expensive slow... it is a GOOD card, but not a great one in this deck... :) Pyrohemia is a decent card, but I would prefer to not hurt myself in addition to everything else. now, it DOES make good use of axebane gaurdian's mana producing ability, but so do my burn spells. maybe not exactly AS good as pyrohemia, but I don't like burning myself if at all posible. oh, and yes most of the leyline cards are pretty dang good. Personal favorite is leyline of anticipation.
Um... Emrakul has protection from all colors... So that won't work...
Wow... Ancestral mask is an amazing card. :)
Very interesting concept. But the closet doesn't trigger Emrakul's turn taking ability.
