So the deck is really a 3 color deck (Palaces are there for Thoughtseize on the sideboard), though its just pretty much a splash of the other two, and seriously, I haven't had really any problems with getting the right mana color. Harbinger usually helps there. Its pretty much a combo oriented deck, you go in for Distant Melody into a Roar of the Crowd for a fast win, or Overrun if they don't Wrath/Firespout first.
I just threw the deck idea together based on the idea of combining Intruder Alarm with Stonybrook Schoolmaster. It probably sucks right now, I'll test on MWS later, but thoughts on the combo?
Thinking of a sideboard to handle anti-mill techs, maybe stretch mana for Roar of the Crowd.
A dollar needs some sort of backing. Something of value, and something that lasts, and something that stays at constant value. Gold has traditionally been used as backing, for what reason, IDK, probably because of its value, even though it is aesthetic.
So, you have Gold, which ideally is backing a dollar, or gold certificate (not anymore ). But the value of certain objects fluctuates as supply and demand fluctuates. So the value of the dollar doesn't change, the value of the item being purchased with the dollar does. Like with the apple. Its worth a dollar. Tomorrow, the apples get destroyed. Its now two dollars. The apple became more valuable, the dollar didn't become less valuable.
Now the dollar is backed currently on nothing but the goodwill of the government. So...yeah, it fluctuates a lot. How much do you trust the government to pay out? Obviously the international market doesn't, and people trust the Euro, or heck, the Canadian dollar more. So the value of the USD falls. And your $0.80 loaf of bread in the 80s is now $2 or whatever. This is inflation. But generally the dollar pays the same.
Now with the plumber. He can fix it. You can't. He can charge whatever he wants. Someone else can do elsewise. This is why monopolies are banned, because if there's only one plumber, then he can charge $5000 to twist a valve in the right way. Unless another plumber comes along and says he can do it for $50.
Or a bunch of plumber get together and fix the price of twisting a valve at some number. Price fixing.
All this works on the value of stuff, monopolies, supply and demand, inflation, backing, all that contributes to the value of the dollar or the value of the item in question.
So pretty much, yeah, nothing in economics is absolute, its all relative on what you will pay or what someone will take.
It lets you use them in constructed, it just gave mine a common rarity, but yeah, it does mess up sealed. Just posted in case anyone wants to use the new cards.
Deck seems slow to win, meaning that a deck like, poison slivers, mill, or some way to win without making life 0 maybe a problem?
Does it look like a competetive decktype?
