I'm not much of an artist but I got bored and did a few full-frames. Other then it not being dark enough and needs better detail on the frame what do you guys think? It is colored pencil so it's a bit difficult to get too detailed.
Ok, I'm new to vintage and looked over the last five pages and on other sites and here is the list I've concocted. It's a mix between Painter and Tezzeret. They seem too weak on their own so maybe this is a better, more versatile solution.
As soon as Maralen was printed my friends and I tried to break her and the best card we found before Mindlock was Rule of Law. If you have both in play backed up by a hand of counterspells or discard would be pretty powerful.
I think the best use for Kresh is persist and unearth because it will usually be a two-for-one for your opponent and the deck could still survive without Kresh on the board.
Like Pheonix said, Nantuko Husk would be good. Maybe somehow getting Reveillark in there would be decent.
I've been playing standard for a year now and love MUC. Since all the good sets are rotating out of T2 I've been looking at extended so this list might not be that great, but I've been loving it. Heres my monoblue take on it:
I need a better sideboard, and I was considering splashing black for Wydwen, the Biting Gale. Usually I wouldn't like her but I think she has great potential in this deck. Oh, and I think Bitterblossom may be a little slow in here, correct me if I'm wrong.
I like the Grim Poppet idea, but he might be too slow. There's a lot of cards I don't understand in here (sideboard Kitchen Finks?). Check the Decks for Critique, someone is working on the same deck and it doesn't look too bad.
It might be semi-useful in legacy Enchantress decks as 1-of, you can tutor for it in situation where you didn't get any other gamewinning cards.. Still, doesn't feel too good even there. Also, why does it have:
:xmana:: Put X tower counters on Helix Pinnacle.
Instead of 1: Put 1 tower counter on Helix Pinnacle.
I mean, they accomplish the same thing, but the further one is just a bait for the starters to get Stifled in their attempts.
Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void
Tooth and Nail + Palinchron, Eternal Witness, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, Oona, Queen of the Fae
Cadaverous Bloom + Consume Spirit, Drain Life, Maga, Traitor to Mortals, Exsanguinate
Cut throat group of friends.
Grim Discovery is amazing and gives me almost a toolbox with my creatures and lands.
The sideboard is built to turn into Grant Gardiner's deck against slower decks.

So you can use Rosheen Meanderer I guess, in block...
