And why wouldn't you have Burning Vengeance here? Come on, dawg.

What is the Caged Sun for? Just extra mana? I suppose it'd be okay for extra flashback mana. But you might also want to include a Past in Flames. 4 Culling Dais and 4 Traitorous Blood seems like too much for that being the only other combo piece. Maybe go to 2 Culling Dais then add more card draw. I like the Wall of Tanglecord for anti-aggro, but maybe Chandra's Phoenix might be better. One-of Mox Opal could probably be better served as an Incinerate or something - then ditch the Galvanic Blasts. maybe this should be more focused on UR Control/Delver though, too. I don't know. It's unique though, so keep working it.
Gideon doesn't really fit this deck. Drop him for more early threats or control. maybe add Gather the Townsfolk or more of the other Planeswalkers (Sorin or Liliana or Garruk)
Instead of 4 Blackcleave Cliffs, use 3 Evolving Wilds and 1 Mountain. Deck thinning would be decent considering your only red is the Aristocrat.
Also, come up with better deck descriptions to describe what your exact plan for the deck might be.
Aristocrat shouldn't be a four-of except in a weird human deck. Maybe add more spells/Grim Lavamancer?
Don't use Rooftop Storm if you want to be competitive. alright, maybe cut 2-3 Lashwrithe for Mortarpod - awesome synergy with Diregraf Ghoul. Essentially turns it into a deals two damage if a zombie dies. Plus lots of sick recursion with Gravecrawler. I've been trying to find some sort of combo with this, and almost tried making a deck that included Puresteel Paladin to skimp on the equip costs.
I like it man, you've got a pretty solid curve with it, too.
Oh but I see you have Misty Rainforest in there, so you could toss in 1 Island for fun, although not necessary.
Birthing Pod should come with 1 Trinket Mage and 1 Voltaic Key. You don't even need to splash blue mana. You only really want to play him once you get Birthing Pod, and you've got creatures to make Blue Mana as well. Good luck with the deck!
Blue Sun's was for a opponent force draw on the off chance I'm swinging with a sworded Crusader + it's the only card draw in the deck. Like I said, I'm looking for suggestions. I'm turned off to the Legionnaire because of the 1 toughness. This deck doesn't need a beater like him, and the Metamorph can cop equipments, or be bounced with Venser to become something new. I agree with the Souleater though - Just hoping he won't get too much crossover from creature removal. I actually debated against using Puresteel Paladin - I want a one drop but can't find a suitable one. He obviously does things in the deck, but I don't think he's very necessary. Any other ideas for switching him out? Also, Venser makes dudes unblockable to counter some of your arguments. Anything equipped in this deck is an amazing attacker because of Venser.
Please tell me you run this in a standard tournament. I would give you 42039 high fives. Plus a like. Not very creative though haha.
In addition to my criticism of you making a good deck worse, you don't need 4 Mystics when you have the Fauna Shaman. Plus you have better equipment fetchers in the Quests. This deck has been successful because it has added one-ofs that fit the metagame well like Linvala, Keeper of Silence and Baneslayer Angel or even Thrun, the Last Troll. Use Fauna Shaman's ability better.
I don't mean to be mean, but it's not like you made this deck up. So good job hitting CTRL+C then CTRL+V. Also, I think I saw this commented on above, but how do you not have the Kor Skyfisher in this deck??? He provides an extra counter to the quest just by entering the battlefield pretty much. The netdecks are called GW Quest and Vengequest for those interested.
Necrotic Ooze.
It sucks when there's already a clear cut vampire deck established (Viscera Seer and Kalastria Highborn), so it's tough to try to do anything vampires without at least having that combo.
I cast Black Sun's Zenith or Day of Judgment or Slagstorm or Pyroclasm on turn 3/4 after you overaggressively try to take the board and then I laugh when everything you have is in the garbage. Any good control deck will absoluetely wreck this weak poison attempt, and any good aggro deck will outrace a 5th turn win easily. 5th turn win is not fast for an aggro deck, especially when you're relying on creature enchantments as part of the win condition. When you're guy dies (which he will) you're out two cards on the board instead of one. Suggestions - You need Livewire Lash. Flying evasion on turn two is often plenty good enough, so you don't need to clutter your deck trying to give your dude a million types evasion (you're trying to get shroud, unblockable, and flying) when it really just isn't necessary.
Why is Knight-Errant in there? She's the only think keeping this from standard. And why no Steppe Lynx or Plated Geopede? Their landfall abilities are huge in early game, especially against control decks and Valakut.
If you've got Darksteel Plate then you can add some different creatures that aren't indestructible that can help your deck. My suggestions: -2 Darksteel Plate -4 Darksteel Myr (Good with Tezz, but without him they're useless) +4 Pilgrim's Eye (Good at deck-thinning, has evasion, and becomes a 5/5 flyer with Tezz) +2 Doom blade or Go for the Throat I think there's a better creature option than Painsmith, too, but you'd want to stick with the under-3 CMC.. I like the idea! Maybe try to find an artifact that makes extras, like the Myr Resorvoir to help the Juggernaut.
It would be standard if you didn't have 12 of a card in the sideboard. Cool deck though. For the sideboard, just fill it up with the rest of the non-legendary Eldrazi.
