What's the most broken deck you can built with it on a smaller budget, no dual lands, moxen etc? What is a fairer deck that you can build that will not be to oppressive to play against?
Major Teroh brings back memories. When I was first started playing, I loved the combo of Major Teroh and Sway of Illusion. Not the best combo in the world but it's on color so might be fun!
I love the idea behind the crushing cloudpost deck. Crush of Tentacles and Expropriate look like alot of fun. Besides Vesuva and SDT, are there any other non budget cards that would make the deck better?
I've been play testing this deck on cockatrice and like it so far. The 4 pyroclasm use to be wurmcoil engine but I didn't feel like I was casting it to much so it wasn't worth it. The SFM package with Batterskull is really good especially if you follow it up with cataclysm. I don't know if SoFI and Jitte are good here so not sure if it's worth it. I'm also thinking of adding taurean mauler in here. Looking for some suggestions.
Entomb + Nether Spirit is an option. Any suggestions for win condition besides bloodchief? Descent into Madness and Oblivion Sower does look interesting. Do you have sample checklist for them?
I was drawn to the deck mainly because off the stax aspect and it was different from the usual black decks like waste not, reanimator, Gray Merchant of Asphodel etc. Plus I love Braids and smokestack. It does seem outdated so I'll probably looks for other ideas. Waste Not seems awesome but probably to broken for my likings. I don't want to kill everyone on T3 or 4 without them doing a single thing. I like interactive games where everyone has a chance.
I really like the idea behind Prid3's Black Stax deck. Are there any cards that came out recently that could work as well? Also would deck do fine with out ensnaring bridge? Conversely are there any non-budget cards that would be much better? I feel like Bitterblossom would be awesome in this deck. Here's the deck list.
There's always a player or 2 in my meta that play cards like feldon's cane, gaea's blessing or emrakuel. I was using wurmcoil as an alternate win condition. If there's something better than I would try it. I will definitely try going blue. I think muddle the mixture is another card that would fit well.
