Oct 23, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on Notes for a Pauper MBC PrimerJust wanted to say you got really ripped off on those Chittering Rats. Online or off, a single one is no more than 7 cents, so you shouldn't have spent more than 30 cents for an playset.Posted in: Zelderex Blog

Sep 28, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on Magic as Art.Art comes in many forms and I believe the design of Magic cards qualifies. Not only is there the raw art portion of a card, but there is also a more mechanical design, as well creation of flavor which is a writing aspect - and writing can be considered art. From this, I don't see why it wouldn't be considered art, even if only vaguely.Posted in: Zelderex Blog
Also, on the last part, Draftmagic.com is looking for writers:

Sep 28, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on Why I hate GideonLet's also noy forget the fact that, when Gideon is a creature, it's pretty hopeless to do anything but chump him, since even on power creatures can't trade since he has a prevention shield -_-UPosted in: Zelderex Blog

Sep 28, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on Why I hate GideonTo be honest, this is the kind of card I hate so much that even if someone gave me a playset to use for free, I wouldn't use it. I'm not going to contribute to Gideon being played more and would rather contribute to a decline against him.Posted in: Zelderex Blog

Sep 27, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on Why I hate GideonAgreed on all counts. Gideon Jura is my nemesis of ALL the planeswalkers. He's just completely unfair and unflavorful. Not to mention he's completely unfun to play against. I'm still hoping he'll eventually get the banhammer or my wet dream would be seeing him replaced in the next coreset with my favorite Planeswaler, Ajani (Though that is indeed only a dream, as most prefer Elspeth even over Ajani).Posted in: Zelderex Blog

Sep 24, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on The Vault SkirgeI don't see Skirge reaching near the same potential price as Hawks. Squadron Hawk was so good because one Hawk fetched up three of it's buddies so that, even if one or two hawks bit the dust, there were still more to take up a sword. Skirge's only assets are lifelink and not dying to Doom Blade or Go for the Throat.Posted in: DOLZero Blog

Sep 20, 2011NacatlFleetfoot posted a message on Mill - Block ConstructedCould probably go down to 22-23 lands. Also, I'd replace Grasp of Phantasm with some number of Jace's Archivist. Also, the bound idea is fine, but I think you're really better of countering stuff instead of bouncing it.Posted in: FuneralofGod Blog

I'd say go ahead and make a monoblack deck with the best cards. That way you have three decks at their best.
Well, off the bat, they aren't money cards, but now that I look over the list again, I need to find places for both Trinket Mage and Apprentice Wizard. Both would help a little bit, since Mage fines Furnace and Seat and Apprentice just accelerates.
Now, if I were to spend more money on it? Well, if I had no budget I'd be wanting cards like Mana Vault, Mana Crypt, City of Traitors, and Ancient Tomb, but all those are rather expensive (The lowest being Tomb at about 6 tix and the highest being City at over 16).
Now, as far as adding cards that are below 2 or tix each? I'd start off by adding Coalition Relic, maybe Coldsteel Heart. I'm also not sure why I don't have Everflowing Chalice in my list. All of those help to boost your start without costing a fortune.
Also, can I ask what you replaced with Mind Control? I didn't put it in because I had other options for stealing creatures and Volition Reigns and Confiscate are just much better at one mana more since they can steal any permanent.
Not including basic lands and using Cardhoarder's slightly inflated card prices, the deck runs just shy of 7 tickets, but could probably be gotten for around 6 if you got the cheapest prices or promos in place of the regular cards (Like Capsize, Fact of Fiction, etc).
Feel free to suggest additionas, but remember this is on MTGO. Please try to keep suggestions under $1 and even then I prefer cards below that, though I understand quality cards can cost a good deal.
So here's the list:
1x Tibor & Lumia
Creature (20)
1x Anarchist
1x Archaeomancer

1x Clone
1x Conquering Manticore

1x Spellweaver Volute
1x Volition Reins
1x Conjurer's Closet
1x Izzet Signet

Of these 7, I believe 4 have the ability to gain flying via either activated ability or, in Tek's case, staticly.
Two of these 7 are in red, those being Rakdos Pit Dragon and Zodiac Dragon. Just saying, Dragons don't ALWAYS fly.
I'm not sure I forgot about Thada Adel I didn't even know about Knowledge Exploitation, so that one's pretty neat, same for Spellweaver Helix. Spelltwine seems like it could be really good.
EDIT: Actually, how does Spellweaver Helix work in Commander, considering the Helix says you can cast the copy if a card with the same name as one of the exiled cards is cast? Or did you mean Spellweaver Volute?
I'm looking for cards that "steal" in a different sense, such as how Chancellor of the Spire, Mindclaw Shaman, and Switcheroo work. I of course want to be able to effect more than just creatures is the idea, especially permanently.
So far - without looking at a search - these come to mind for this kind of effect:
2 Switcheroo
3 Vedalken Plotter
4 Puca's Mischief
5 Stolen Good
6 Mindclaw Shaman
7 Reversal of Fortune
What am I missing for along these lines?
