I would just reanimate it with a Fetchlands or 2 waiting for the exile trigger to go on the stack. Lol. Shroud seems like the best cleanest way to prevent this.
Brought Back works really well with Sagas also. Could play the one that lets you draw 4 or 5 cards (exiles them) and puts counters on your dudes or can play Seal of Fire to go along side it.
Aspiringspike founded these interactions. Had a good deck built around it. I believe multiple 4-1s. Didn't do the LD package though. But still seems worth mentioning.
All of these suggestions look great, thanks so much. Not sure about [[Thraben Inspector]] though. I would love to here your reasoning.
Sure. Inspector is generally considered to be white's best 1 drop. Gives a body and can draw in later turns. Funny side note. Until Apparition it was actually in contention for magics best white creature... In modern anyways. Another Funny note is playing Inspector actually makes Crack somewhat viable. Either keep the clue or keep the body. But finding room along with all the sentential cards is quite difficult. I could give you a trophy winning deck if you wanted to drop several of the cards. There is a 5-0 Boros LD deck posting up very recently. BUT doesn't play Iona, Proctor, Field,Brought Back, etc. Basically a different deck entirely. I guess the question is what are you wanting to do? Play a fun deck that you had a huge influence on or dominate the FNM and possible top 16 big tournaments?
Agreed with most of that. I couldn't find room for Riders at the time of my post. I feel like he wants to keep Iona and Proctor or Riders would have been my suggestion. Also I wouldn't mind seeing a Stoneforge package in here to be able to close out games, but alas there isn't enough room.
First thing I see is you are light on lands needs 1 or 2 more.
Sadly this is not a Crack format. I would drop them as fast as possible. That covers the lands. I would make them basics to be able to better fetch with Wildfires. The other 2 along with the paths should become On Thin Ice. The last thing you want to do in a land destruction deck is play Path.
I would reduce the number if Wayfarer and put in the 1/2 that makes a clue when it EtBs.
Yes I know the Proctor and a few of the cards are not exactly synergistic but you can either play them before proctor or you can play them after and just have to deal with the tax to achieve what you are trying to get done.
Thoughts. BB is so severely unrated it's unreal. So many applications. I feel like the Proctor is what is limiting this deck. I'd try to figure out a way to cut it if it were possible. If you cut it you could run Blood Sun as a way to remove the sac 2 lands from Lotus and also hurts fetch lands from the opponent in the process. Your deck only runs 3 so it isn't terrible. It losses hexproof, but the main way people blow up lands, except against Ponza, is with other lands (Quarters/field of ruin). These would also lose their abilities to nuke lands with BS in play so it's kinda a wash. Shutting down all the Fetchlands in your opponent's deck feels very Land Destruction also. So there is that.
Yass! Island Fish! An old time favorite of mine. I totally support anything that can fetch him, Force of Nature, or Craw Giant! Lol. Nice design. Cost feels right.
Shroud while in the graveyard maybe?
I haven't had the opportunity to read all of this but Reap said this offers storm little to nothing. I argue just the exact opposite. It literally gives storm everything it could want.
I'll explain that while also answering his question on what storm is trying to do. Reap storm typically tries to win turn 4. They want to either turn 3 cast a Boral or Goglin Electromancer and to be able to protect it. Typically with Remand. The can do it right now on turn 3 but requires a very specific hand. What this card does is basically cast Timewalk. Turn 2 you cast it. Going into turn 3 you can cast your Boral or Electromancer and still have the 4 Mana up to go off. The typical way they go off is to cast ritual into ritual into as Mana manamorphose as possible. This gains them Mana. Then they play gifts ungiving. The ideal gift package is ritual ritual manamorphose and Past In Flames. This allows them to build a super high storm count and win with typically Grapeshot or whatever. So you see how your card is completely broken in that deck. It's literally Timewalk.
Edit: It's not literally Timewalk. It's actually better as it allows then to hold the cost reduction guy in hand to protect it better from removal.
I also enjoyed the read. But I think you did a few things wrong. #1 equip should be endurance A+. They will probably always have equips in every set or block and there is no way they will ever run out of ideas for the keyword. #2 Banding should have been #1. I mean come on man.

Yes it does do all that you said... But if it makes you feel any better I did take out the Blast Zone in my purposed deck. Lol
Also Rip Apart Should probably be in the SB.
Also while I'm thinking about your deck... Glorybringer is a card that goes great in this deck.
