With Theros, an EDH deck actually might be achievable with this deck's fundamental idea. It just may become my next EDH deck. I tend to like control type decks for EDH but the thought of screwing them by allowing them to pick a choice? That sounds amazing, especially with a 100 card deck stock full of things like this.

I really like the ideas behind this deck and have started to wonder if there are enough cards with this type of mechanic to make an EDH deck. The commander I would suggest if you were to do a "Lesser of 2 Evils" EDH would be Kaervek the Merciless. Any thoughts?

Why not Killing Wave??? :D

Your deck is similar to my deck, we should bounce some ideas back and forth...

I would maybe drop the planeswalkers to just 2 or find a way to increase to 4. I'd love to take him off your hands though haha.

On a side note, I'd add Iona, Shield of Emeria and/or Platinum Angel. While getting a lot of guys is great, it would be awesome to also find a way to stall your opponent from screwing things up. Also maybe add an elvish piper in there as well in case you lose out on all your combo cards. This way you can still send out your fatties for one mana.

take out the red, stick with mono green and add things like Primeval Bounty and Garruk

So this is a gruul deck....? not a mono green. mono green wouldn't have red mana in it and besides the haste for Flinthoof.... I don't get why you need it. Replace Flinthoof with better creatures, drop out the red too. its pointless.

I am about to create my own Izzet mill deck. I like some concepts from this deck and other stuff I don't like. Maybe, its because there are better cards that you NEED to add with M14 coming out tomorrow. Things like Traumatize (mill half library instantly) would be great. For the deck I'm forming, Goblin Electromancer might be a very valuable card as well. When the deck is done being built I will post on MTGVault and would be glad to send you a link if you're interested. My strongest decks have always been mill decks or Izzet decks.... so I thought to myself, "Why not both???"

Add some Windborn Muses. Must pay 2 mana for all creatures attacking you.

Why only one mortar? that leaves you with a 1-60 chance to even use it. If you're going to throw it in there, at least have 2.

One of my brothers did suggest getting rid of sublime archangel and cathedral of war simply because my deck is not based on just one person attacking, but mobs attacking. Maybe I can swap those two out for some mana ramps and maybe tweak a few more things and go from there. Thanks for all the advice. Hopefully it kicks some butt at the tourneys. :D

as in stick with the heavy stuff and maybe tweak out the cards that don't NEED to be there and replace with better cards. Champion of the Parish is nice and all, but I don't have a ton of humans. From what I gather discussing this with you, what I mostly need is mana ramps. I have a decent defense and if I can hold until the big guys come out, its all in my favor. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Besides mana ramp, would you suggest taking anything out or adding something? I'm thinking of taking out some of the more costly creatures and adding more cheaper cost creatures. Things like Champion of the Parish, and other cards that are on the low end for mana cost. Thoughts?

the gilded lotus is nice though :D

not a bad idea. mana ramping is something I will need to look into

I disagree. I run a complete white/blue control deck with 4 Blind Obedience. If anything, they're an easy 2 drop permanent that allows you to extort. That extort could be a huge life saver. Just my opinion.

also, add some gilded lotuses

Maybe Platinum Angel??? Its a hilarious card to play if it hits the field. Pretty much will allow you to continue playing the rest of your deck too.

Friend.... do you not realize that you have 5 months until then? geez. That's still 5 months of playing an epic deck. And yes I do know what post rotation means. Chances are I've been playing this game far longer than you have. And the advice I gave was very wise advice. The cards are still standard. Yes, they will no longer be standard soon, but that is still a few months out. If you were to tap into any of these cards that are STILL legal for a few more months you could tweak your deck a whole lot better. Besides Boros Reckoner, you really have no mono colored cards. You risk the fact that you might not be able to cast any of your cards if the right mana doesn't show up. Yes, you have quite a few dual lands and have some guildgates (which literally suck). But there are other lands you could add.... but they fall in the "post rotation" and probably aren't what you are looking for in the least bit. Good luck, and good day.

And for references, I have been playing since Arabian Nights. But, I'll leave you be as I know nothing about this game apparently. Come talk to me if/when you win your tournaments.

Witchbane Orb, you now have hexproof and can't be the target of spells. Add Eight-and-a-half tails, you can now change the color of any spell and give anything protection from given spell. Anything that redirects damage is amazing too.
