The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Casual, I assume?
Looks solid and fun to play. A 2 or 3 of Phyrexian Arena may help you not run out of steam/cards, which is even better when you're OK with drawing any card in your deck, especially lands.
I always ran UG for landfall, but you're right. Orzhov is sweet.
By the way, Scrib Nibblers is one of my all-time favorite cards. Heez in ur librareez, nibblin ur scribz...

Also, could you check out my legacy Thresh-Miracle-Top deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=330238
Thanks

Yeah it's mainly casual. The only truly competitive color(s) for landfall is Boros. In fact, Boros Landfall was the deck to beat in standard for a while (even before everyone realized how stupid powerful Stoneforge was). Thankfully I like Boros, so I'm ok with it =P

And I can't tell you how many people have told me Scrib is a bad card...only to be shown just how good they really are. They're one of those dudes that looks semi-useful on paper, but in practice are surprisingly good. With even one out I'm consistently tearing away at the opponent's deck, and the land munching ability is great, not just for the lifegain, but also because it increases the gap between my excess of lands and their lack. =]

And remind me to look at it if I forget, but right now I am just way too busy, sorry =/

Yeah, no problem. Boros is too good with landfall. My little Grixis Control had to deal with that, and then Caw-Blade. :|

Blame EthanLewis and raggedjoe for that. A lot of people were playing some variation of their Boros designs.

Really? That's pretty cool. So do they actually do some serious tourney stuff?
I remember playing against a deck with 2 Jace TMS and Scrib Nibblers in the Worldwake prerelease. That was annoying.

I think you'd be surprised how many of our decks were netdecked over the recent "dark days" of standard. My Kuldotha Rust deck was the cookie-cutter RDW until rotation and I can't count how many legacy designs of ours (including WnB) that have popped up =P

I try to stay away from most events because I don't care that much about tourneys and I don't want that attention again (I used to design decks for professional players around Lorwyn). I do jump into some Legacy tourneys on occasion though.

I know that Ethan does tourneys all the time, in standard, modern, and I think he's done some Legacy.

Ragged has been in some legacy and standard stuff I think.

I really love your decks man! They always look pretty awesome and while I normally don't do this could you rate this deck for me? I really want to build it and I'm excited about making it but I don't want to spend the money until it works and I think you could help me a lot. If you don't see this or don't have time I understand but if you do thank you. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=333058

I'm just a casual deck builder, nothing compared to you man. but I wanted to say the deck is pretty sick, and I can't really think of anything else to put in that hasn't been suggested.

On a hole I like the deck, but I've found that Khalni Gem was more harmful that helpful without Walking Atlas to put the lands back into play quicker (in my experience at least).
I prefer Wayfarer's Bauble over Traveler's Amulet. Yes it costs 1 more to activate, but it puts the land into play, not into the hand.
Also I think adding a beneficial sacrifice outlet for Bloodghast would be nice :p

For a cheap sacrifice outlet I always used Viscera Seer. Kor Skyfisher would do fine in this deck but I see that all the other creatures are better :D

I don't think it'll help, but Chrome Mox is practically Escher's self portrait :)

Hey surewhynot!

Something you might wanna consider out of the new set is Emancipation Angel. A nice 3/3 evasion creature that returns your lands for you sounds solid.
