Actually I would like to support the idea of Geth as a face card of the deck. I think flavour-wise his ability is a perfect end game for the deck.
I can see how the game play of stealing your opponents stuff is similar to the rogue's deck but a) it's at a different phase of the game (late vs mid), b) as the raiders deck stands currently its doing more looting than actually thievery and c) the flavour of "As you die all your stuff is added to the tomb's treasure trove" is awesome. In fact I think Hedonist's Trove could be listed in the Tomb deck along with Geth for the same reasons.
After that I think you need to decide whether it's important to you to not have overlapping colours between the two decks. I think white or black are the best second colours for the raiders and white or blue are the best second colours for the tombs.
Alternatively to a raiders theme you could go full Zendikar flavour and make it an Allies deck instead. That's mostly an idea for another day though.
If you're already in blue why not try out Cackling Counterpart or Rite of Replication? Token creatures only have 'one side' so they can't transform and copying a Howlpack Alpha or Wildblood Pack is a game winner.
I love the idea of Rhystic Study for the deck so I'll try it in my RUG werewolf deck.
I hope my ideas work for you too!
Well luckily for you I've already done the research

Just wanted to check, you realise that if the players are set up with a joint life total (2HG style) then Havoc Festival kills them in one 'hit' right?
Either way, thanks for the great thread, I love the idea of 'drawing' no less tokens than the number of players.
Do you scale the size of the deck to the number of players?
There are two that I noticed Lord of the Unreal is written Lord of the Unread, I assumed because people often forget to read what it does and are surprised when they try to target the Ultimus Wing Splicer is written Win Splicer, presumably because he's awesome
Your deck is amazing btw and I love playing my own copy so thanks for the inspiration, I look forward to seeing the next round of updates
So Magnus why did you take Blade of the Bloodchief out of your newest list?
It's one of my favourite pieces of equipment for the deck so I'd love to know why it didn't work for you.
Also, how well does Myr Matrix work for you? Do you recommend it to other players or are you just trialing it?
PS: And sorry to nitpick but are the spelling errors in your decklist deliberate? They seem like they could just be jokes but I'm not sure (if they are then kudos)
Australia, Queensland, Brisbane, Paddington Coffee Club :sober_leprechaun
Our group plays casual EDH and 60 card from 6:30 till close (normally 10:30) on Thursday's at the Paddington Coffee Club.
The staff reserve some tables for us and Thursday are student nights so people who can show ID will get 25% off their purchases for the evening.
It means a night of good food and great fun and we're always happy to have new players.
We have a lot of players with spare decks so players looking to explore EDH are welcome to come by and find out what the excitement is all about!
My favourite is Annul, but I've had great fun with Envelop and Red Elemental Blast
Nobody ever expects them, especially the Red Elemental Blast
Blue Elemental blast doesn't get enough use though so I had to stop using it
I run a similar but more budget friendly versions and I was wondering if you'd ever considered running any seals in your deck
I personally run Seal of Doom, Seal of Primordium and Seal of Removal in my deck as well as Æther Spellbomb
They're great rattlesnake cards and being able to play them without having to use them straight away means that Damia can draw even more cards!
I would be surprised if I were the only one but I spent my pre-release telling my opponents that my Soulbond creatures had made friends with my other creatures. And then referencing that now they were friends they could share their powers
It's definitely an incentive to build a 60-card deck and tell my friends that 'friendship is magic' as I crush them
Have you considered Scuttlemutt as an alternative? It can carry swords and provides acceleration in mono-white
EDIT: Sorry, here's some feedback on the card you actually asked about: I have a friend who uses it in his Brion Stoutarm deck and he seems to like it. I personally made use of Scuttlemutt in my Animar, Soul of Elements deck to provide colour-fixing and make things white/black so that he'd be protected. I think one bonus is that because it's such a small effect people forget about it pretty easily

Maybe use Sigarda rather than Bruna in that case though
Lord of the Unreal is written Lord of the Unread, I assumed because people often forget to read what it does and are surprised when they try to target the Ultimus

I've been really enjoying Fervor in my Jor Kadeen deck
Mass hand or land destruction is a good way to compete with decks that play larger threats
It's definitely an incentive to build a 60-card deck and tell my friends that 'friendship is magic' as I crush them
I'm not sure if that translates well to EDH but as long as you're getting at least three then you're matching the new Somberwald Sage
