Is Pucatrade still active? Kinda strapped for cash at the moment, so I was hoping to send some cards out to get a new commander deck.
Didn't want to send them out if no one's gonna send me anything back though, you know
Hate to be a naysayer since Puca was very awesome to me over the years but I finally zero'd out last month. Currently using Cardsphere and happy with it. Puca is still good if you're sending lots of bulk and are willing to set high promos but I think even that might not be viable indefinitely.
@Jivan: Shared Fate is a card I've played in a different deck that has no win cons and I've won with it so I'm thinking it's too dangerous. I think I have the critical mass of tutors I need but I'll definitely add Necrologia over Necro, that's a good call on both your suggestions I need to make sure they can't stop from decking themselves. Plus there is a LOT of nonbasic hate in my group I need to be wary of making Tainted Pact a scary proposition. Getting X in my hand before the swap is pretty funny I have some bounce spells I will try it.
@darren: Good call on Necro. I did notice it doesn't swap exiled cards but wasn't sure how best to capitalize on it. I think it's trying a little too hard to make the best card in my deck better when simply swapping decks with someone should be sufficient most of the time.
So I went to the fancy new deck builder think "man, what a great place to post up my new deck!". Turns out that my perfectly 100% legal commander is not able to be selected. So I posted it old school style
EDIT: I look forward to the look on my opponent's face not when I switch decks with them, but the moment it finally sinks in that they're playing a deck that can't win.
This deck is built around Mirror Mirror and giving an opponent a deck that can't possibly win. Sure this deck looks sweet and has awesome cards but it can't actually win the game. It will simply deck itself with style. Since the deck has no recursion for artifacts it's very important Mirror Mirror is not stopped or I'll be playing the deck that can't win. Vedalken Orrery and Leyline of Anticipation are there so I can sneak it into play EOT, Common Courtesy can stop the dreaded Krosan Grip. Other than that the deck doesn't do much other than tutor, draw cards and kill stuff. Since Commanders don't change control I made sure there weren't ways to produce mana other than U or B so they won't be able to cast their commander. If you see any possible way to win with this deck, even through convoluted means, that doesn't require opponents to kill themselves, please let me know so I can make adjustments.
So I figured out my X deck. I'll have a ton of tutors, draw and counterspells. No creatures, manlands or ways to shuffle in my graveyard so basically absolutely nothing even resembling a win condition. Then I can get X exiled permanently and "win" with Mirror Mirror.
The tricky part will be whether or not I have a way to recur Mirror Mirror. If I do they can Mirror Mirror me back but if I don't and it gets stopped I'm completely screwed.
Also how about that Standard ban list uodate? There's 7 cards banned in standard right now

Good suggestions guys I appreciate the feedback.
