Sigh .... sure, right after I:1. Finish my Red Green Warrior Aristocrat Deck2. Build an aristocrat deck around Yawgmoth's Bargain3. Build Krenko, Mob Boss vs. Rhys the Redeemed aristocrat duel decks.4. Look at the replies to the creator of this format on the forums over at cardshark5. Strangle mtg vault for deleting an especially long comment of mine after I posted it.Just kidding. :D I will take a look at it right away!

Here's the full comment, dude;-----------------------------------------------------------Well, we should merely base our decision on how cheap a planeswalker is and devastating her or his ultimate is. Let's get this straight - mos ANY planeswalker in combination with magical hacker is utterly broken and will likely win the game the turn they enter the battlefield or soon after. They will ult immediately. Every version of Ajani will either win or make the game nigh impossible to win unless you plan on mill. Maybe infect. Of all of them, Vengeant and Caller of the Pride will trash an opponent quickly and cost the least. Vengeant = every opponent's lands are destroyed each turn. Caller of the Pride = your life total in 2/2 tokens.Askiok is very potent. Firstly, she gains 10 loyalty and exiles everyone's hands. Ouch. Then she will proceed to play the most powerful creature turn 4, and utterly sweep the game by either continuing to exile cards or play powerful creatures for free.Chandra is ... pretty bad in this case, surprisingly. Pyromaster is the best - she could do enough damage to kill a weakened opponent in one hit (with lava axe, no less). Plus, she rolls out turn 4.Domri Rade will ensure your creatures are hasted, double striking, trampling monsters ... with hexproof to boot. He might just murder you, but his ult suffers from the fact that repeated uses are worthless.Dack is incredibly powerful. True, his ult only goes of once ... but it's ridiculous! Simply pop him in a deck with multi-target burn spells and he's more powerful than Sorin! Since the emblem is his strength, killing him stops nothing once it goes off. Then, all your targeted spells steal permanents. Yikes!Garruk is .. meh. He costs a lot. You could ramp into him ... but his ults just put creatures out. It WILL kill you quickly, but it's.just not ... soul-crushing.Gideon Jura is okay but .... the reduced costs do jack for him. He does not have an ult!Gideon, Champion of Justice ... wins. Hard. He enters the battlefield, murders everything, gains 15 loyalty counters, and proceeds to murder everyone. He doesn't need his first ability! When he activates his second ability, he is a 19/19. GG if you have a single 1 mana boosting spell and a land, or managed to do 1 damage to your opponent by turn 4.Jace Beleren will kill you by mill exactly 5 turns after you have played him. Jace, Architect of Though will take the best card from each player's library and play it ... and repeat this every turn. I.e, he will take the tron's eldrazi, nab a free counterspell from the control player, take the planeswalker of the rich kid, and before he plays anything, wipe the board with a white removal spell or say ... cyclonic rift. Compared to this, the Mind Sculptor is lame. Powerful, yes, but awesome, no. Come on! Just think of how much fun it would be to try and come up with a game winning combo with one card from each opponent's library.But I digress. More Planeswalkers!Karn costs too much. By turn 7, virtually every other planeswalker will kill you.Kiora gets a 9/9 kraken to attack the turn after she is summoned ... so turn 5, maybe 4.Mr. Hammer (a.k.a. Koth) benefits you little. Basically, you have double mana from your mountains and get a ... disappointing burn spell. Really? 1 damage per mountain tapped? That's underwhelming. A freaking lava axe is more powerful, since you can copy it!Liliana kills stuff. Except the Dark Realms variant, which gives you 4 mana per swamp. Proceed to cast [insert homicidal demon of choice here] and sweep.Bolas does 7 damage, makes one discard 7 cards, and basically has annihilator 7. Great ... if you ever get him out! He costs 8 ... go ask Koth or Liliana of the Dark Realms for help ... but I bet they have better things to cast!Nissa wins. Hard. She gives you ALL of your elves ... turn 4. Yup, that's right. I have 40 creatures on the field turn 4. Bet you wish you brought your board wipes! Same story with the worldwaker ... but now it's 4/4 trample creatures ... that are your lands.----------------------------------------------------------------------Screw it! I went on to talk about each planeswalker, but here's the short version:Ajani, Caller of the Pride and Tibalt, the Fiend Blooded are the most potent combo partners. Ashiok and Dack are close behind.Looking at all the planeswalkers, I consider Sorin Markov and Jace, Architect of Thought to be the most fun and resilient combo partners. Coincidentally, they are blue and black!
Well, we should merely base our decision on how cheap a planeswalker is and devastating her or his ultimate is. Jace, the Mind Sculptor will exile an entire library. Every version of Ajani will either win or make the game nigh impossible to win unless you plan on mill. Maybe infect. Of all of them, Vengeant and Caller of the Pride will trash an opponent quickly and cost the least. Vengeant = all your opponent's . Caller of the Pride = your life total in 2/2 tokens urprisingly,
Oh .... well, it would need to be instant speed ... maybe swift justice?
... hellion? Huh?
Well, nice work.
P.S. .... deus is easily the most powerful of the 10 avatars. Just imagine runes of the deus (a flippin awesome common) on him. He does 16 trample damage, half of it with first strike. With rancor .... that's 20 trample damage. That means he could nuke 3 permanents!Anyway ... happy deck building!
Hey! Tell the Phoenix that we miss her!
Wow ... this magical hacker is broken. Completely and utterly. He is obviously secretly working for Johnny, Combo Player in an attempt to subvert the officials of Wizards of the Coast and send the entire Magic multiverse into a downward spiral of destruction by legalizing broken combos. Stay strong my friends!
Sure thing Jessie!
Fine Jessie .... I'm in.
Man ... this is freaking awesome! Good work.Deus of Calamity, Kinsbaile Cavalier, Boros Switchblade, and Silverblade Paladin are proud of you!
This deck is plain cruel.This is precisely why it is important to have exile as creature removal.
You deserve a medal! I'm not just kissing ass here ... you did a great job finding cards that make a player enjoy being punched in the face.My favorite is children of korlis. Now, you don't care if your opponent nukes your health. And if you have Rhox Faithmender or King Darien ... they won't dare. It's neat to see such a resilient deck that doesn't rely on the known strategies (hexproof, indestructibility, life gain, damage prevention, or removal)
Hmm ... you sir are brilliant! I love this deck! You did a great job finding cards to benefit from and support personal incarnation.Those enchantments with the old version of threshold give me an idea. How about you add some token generation ... with threshold! Thraben Doomsayer and Gather the Towsfolk should serve you well. As for boosting your tokens ... giving THEM lifelink (intangible virtue) or vigilance (serra's blessing) might help you further control your life total.Anyway ... if you want, angels could help you out a bit. They are good sources of universal buffs, and could give you a handful more flyers.Once again, excellent job. I really prefer this take on the deck.Good luck, and happy deck building!
Nice! I got to see what other effects you use!
Alright. Hunter's insight and solfatara are my card draw. I do have a lot of deck search for lands ... so I only need 1/3 of my cards to be lands, instead of 1/2. That should help.
Those are indeed the pillars of Magic! Well, that and creativity. Speaking of creativity ... I really like this deck!I would definitely consider ash zealot. Wren's Run Vanquisher might be awesome if you add 4 of them ... that way, 10 of your cards are elves! A 3/3 deathtouch warrior for 2 mana is nothing to sneeze at.Oh, and thank you for showing me Hunter's Insight. It's awesome!

No problem man. Always glad to lend a hand.P.S. Excellent work!
