indeed, I think that is a good call. :)

added to the list.

indeed. such an over-powered card. :)

added to the list.

well I have never really been a big fan of firedrinker. I just don't see any upside to it. it hurts you too much and feels like it doesn't give you enough in return. of course I have been out of standard for... about a year, and so I am WAY out of the loop. (it could be fantastic.)

I would also swap out (no rotten veggies please) dynacharge for titan's strength. Overall I think that dynacharge is probably a better card, since it can affect all of your creatures at once, but if you are trying to build by the challenge's "rules" then you can't use the overload cost. My main reason for that suggestion though is that I like the buff that it gives better. +3/+1 is better than +2/+0. and the scry can give you an card advantage.

other things that I really like, mugging is great for evasion. takes out pesky blockers, which is useful in a deck where most everything is fairly small.

hero of leina tower looks to be very good. particularly in a deck that should have plenty of open mana, and lots of spells that target it. :)

Well Ok then. I will attempt to help you out.

Ok, what are you looking to improve?

Sure. I can look at it. Did you post it in the 1 mana list deck?

Ok, they don't change the CM, but if you want to play a card for flashback, then the flashback should only be 1 mana. Buyback shouldn't be extra mana. Kickers... I don't know. E already have decks with those in them. Like I said, I think a bite on the rulings would be good, to see if they are allowed. Or outside you should just not be allowed to play then for the alternate cost etc...

Indeed. Excellent idea. :)

Lol... that would be funny. :)

it doesn't change a thing actually. the CMC isn't changed with the kicker-multikicker, and are optional to actually cast. but for things like bestow flashback and buyback, it isn't optional. Unless it doesn't cost any mana to use the optional casting cost.

I don't know. Personally I think that any rules discrepancies there should be a community vote.

cool. I will put it in the list. :)

I think that kickers are ok, as long as the card can be played normally and still have an effect. bestow... I would say no because it is almost like playing 2 separate cards.

ok then, enlighten us. show us a high level, competitive, standard esper control deck.

Not true. This controls by hand disruption. It does not make a lot of dudes, other than pack rat. Unless I am misinformed I am pretty sure that spectres and Daxos are considered control cards. As are thoughtsieze, negate, azorius charm, and silence. Just because a deck has the potential to be fast does not mean it is aggro.

Oh don't get me wrong, I like raven's crime, I was just curious if you thought you had enough lands to use it to is fullest. I guess you really only need to have maybe 5-6 lands total in a deck like this, so a lower amount of lands works here. :)

Guess we shall have to wait and see. :)

Dang. Sounds like myrs got stomped on. Too bad. There is always next time. :)

This is a good looking build. :). But perhaps could benefit from some draw?
