The reason I run straight basic Islands is that I MUJST HAVE LAND AVAILABLE. Halimar Depths is wonderful, but that it comes down tapped scares the piss out of me. Has it ever been a problem for you? Effectively losing a turn to tell time?

Also, I adore how cheap this is. Budget decks get a lot of love on the "New Vault" and this one is truly cool.
I don't endorse Wild Cantor unless you're doing a storm thing. In her place, I'd put in 4x Goblin Bushwhacker to make sure that whatever fattie you combo into gets to swing that turn.I have built a combo deck for Modern which I could really bust with moar money, but I'd like to see if the idea is worth entertaining.Take a look, plox. http://www.mtgvault.com/thgr8d35tr0y3r/decks/the-grand-architect/
I adore that this deck has the stuff to punish most of the format's aggro decks. But I am underwhelmed with its capacity for interaction. A Living End list I saw on Vault earlier ran spot removal (which, admittedly could waste a cascade) but interaction before going off provides enough short-term return that I'd argue it's worth it.This deck IS however, cheaper than Living End. You will certainly have surprise on your side.I have made a combo deck for Modern that I am looking to bust once I acquire moar money.Take a look, plox. http://www.mtgvault.com/thgr8d35tr0y3r/decks/the-grand-architect/
This is ingenious. Convoke brings a lot to the table.
Upon further reflection, I screwed you all up. My endorsement of Dread Return and Flayer was erroneous. I'm starry-eyed on that interaction from a Dredge list I designed last month. They are hilariously powerful in Dredge precisely because Dredge has a means of milling its combo pieces into Fraveyard. Your deck... does not appear to. I'm sorry about that. IF YOU ARE intrigued by these cards, however. Consider a few copies of Jin Gitaxias, or Yung Greezy (Griselbrand) if you have the coin. Jin is the cheaper of the two bai fahr.
Moar copies of Reanimate (yes, there is price). Never run Rise from the Frave (too large), additionally, there is fun to be had with Terrastodon, Flayer and Dread Return. As Terrastodon generates creatures, and Flayer gets one free resurrection built-in. I think Whispersilk Cloak is a bust, however, Lightning Greaves is a novel innovation - and a good one at that. I vote that you nix Whispersilk for another Flayer and nix Rise from the Frave for another Reanimate.
Do you intend this to be used for competitive play in Legacy?
Are you bound to standard or budget restricted. There are galaxies' worth of cool stuff out there in your colors for a midrange. Answer me plox, two questions. Do you have a max budget for this deck? And are you bound by a given format or is this casual?
Have you considered Ashiok in sideboard?
OOH, Soldier tribal! Standard loves Titan's Strength and I do too. It's a cute little Giant Growth clone with virtual card advantage. Great for racing another aggro deck.
Please take this to an FNM and report on this things doings. I'd love to see a funsies, left field deck in Standard.
I advise Genesis Chamber. And Myr. They ARE good at what they do.
At first glance, I believe a deck oughtn't be more than sixty cards. Otherwise. One of the greatest cards in RW history is Lightning Helix. It's even budget viable. I also believe ya could curve this out better. Perhaps a midrange job with a few finishers over that. For Aurelia, Firemane and Odric are all good cards. and your curve spikes at 2, 3, 4. Ideal midrange territory. But this, this, this REQUIRES bettar instants and sorceries.
Dungrove jumps out to me as an ostensibly BETTER Muulimo considering the format curves out at 4. Dungrove is a bad MOFO at Muulimo power and toughness WITH hexproof.
Better with Hurkyl's Recalls. Still a breakneck race to Master of Waves. This is no longer an accurate representation of the main OR sideboards. Come back in 4 hours for an updated version.
That's a rather cutting criticism. Kessig was the flagship breakthrough in this new draft. I piloted this very build last night. It rockets out of the gate into jazz hands. Which is ideal. That said, Kessig never hit the field in any games I witnessed this deck play. I'd need to see more before I definitively side with "bust".
Does axing Pyretic Ritual improve consistency with your cantrips? Did it prove to be dead weight in the wake of Manamorphose and Desperate Ritual (an ostensibly better card)?
He lives!The voice of the budget community has returned!
Now you're talkin'.Try Kird Ape in main, I say.
