you need 4 cranial platings. that is such a powerful card that you want the greatest chance of getting 1 or more. other then that pretty solid

i like the signal pest and possibly thevault skirge and etched champion. But i looked at your deck and how is it affinity just seems like a solid artifact deck not affinity? Maybe im not up on magic lingo but you only have one card using affinity and thats the thoughtcast. and then i dont understand why mox diamond is wrong? if you could elaborate on that i would apreciate it. 0 mana for an artifact and is mana ramp so turn 1 i can have 3 mana out playing and attaching cranial plating or playing lightning greaves since just about everything else is free.
maybe i am just not up in the magic lingo but how is this affinity when not one card has affinity for artifacts. You have cranial plating and other cards that work very very well with artifacts but not one actually has affinity?
you say dont even bother killing there creatures when most decks that are any good will win before 4-6 turns. and Lightning Bolt? its one of the best burn cards ever put it in there.
there is an artifact which cost 6 to play and then you tap 3 mana and tap it to play any creature from your hand into play. I would focus more around that because you arent gonna get the mana to play Emrakul so you need to stack your deck with that and things like your enchantments
yea i see what your saying my main defense to those counters are sheer speed of the deck. 3 turn wins 4 turn average win. then if you enchant my quillspike with your exile i can return it to your hand with seedling charm then attack since you can only play as sorcery. And i welcome you to Sword s to plowshares the quillspike because then i gain infinite life.
oh and what cards were you thinking of in blue or black that would help it out? thats one thing i havnt really looked in to is card that could be useful that are not green
so inconsistent. you will win with luck but this deck will not win consistently
and looked at your best multiplayer deck. its pretty sweet combo. not allowing your opponent to cast any spells is hularious
yea of course no deck is 100% cant be beaten because you can have some bad luck. But i have tested every possible weakness such as burn counterspell creature destroy protections from green. the only real flaw i can think of is first strike death touch but thats why i put withstand death on sideboard. No deck that i have tested against has been able to be consistent enough to win or get the cards needed faster then i can get combo
with lightning greaves and steely resolve a burn deck cant beat this. i have played 100% burn deck and let them stack it and they werent able to target my devoted druid to kill it. and quillspike cant be killed with damage
you always get devoted druid out first and in reaction to any burn spell you can buff quillspike up. Damage cannot kill him only destroy effects and thats what regeneration is for. And regarding vines of vastwood not as versatile as seedling charm or run wild but thanks for suggestion i considered it
I hate these decks that say they win in 1 turn because they use Black Lotus and other 400+ dollar cards. Black lotus cost like 2500. When you get black lotus in your hand you can make so many decks that can win first or second turn. not special
ok thanks for idea but i dont think that will work as well. Volition reins allows me to take any permanent corrupted conscience wouldnt allow me to do that and i dont want to deal damage in two different forms poison counters and life points
switch mind control to volition reins. for one more mana you can take any permanent with it. like a planeswalker or other stuff
