Oh no! I have spent my magic the gathering life here.
I came here looking for safe haven after I got laughed at for my terrible janky deck ideas on the official forums but I cam here and found a community willing to help me improve as a deck builder.
And through your help I have turned so many janky dreams into real decks
Thank you everyone :'(
Mitotic Manipulation I haven't seen that before.... I think I should get some.... cheap to.
Tropor Orb is now extremely useful... why?... It counters everyone's favourite card... . Snapcaster mage... perhaps a sideboard card.
you really badly need Memnites... they become 3/1's with sigil pest and accroder attacking.
I run Galvantic blast and Artilerise as burn/removal.
Scraping Memnite to take out a 5/5 is worth it.
I have a bunch of reanimation cards remember the fallen to recover fast from being nuked... make individual creatures unimportant.
Win condition: Concussive Bolt.. I deal so much damage early that this is normal enough to kill once they have defense.
I have Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer in there to... one of the cheapest ledgendaries.
Yeah it is in between Tempered steel and Boros... but it works... or would work... if it didn't have the huge problem of 0 air defense.
From what I can tell Tempered Steel uses Vault Skirge, Hovermyr or glint hawk idol for flying... I am considering picking some up... because it is a huge problem for my deck...
or maybe Auriok Sunchaser
Obviously by replacing with cheaper versions of cards I am lowering its power and slowing it down but I think I can find a way around that.
Titan Forge... feels like the way to go here... 40c rare devastating. with the Prolifrate Options in this deck.
Contagion Clasp and Engine.... Clasp is only 50c (I already have one).... I don't plan on running treasure mage since I don't have wurmcoil....so the Engine isn't as consistent.
Viral Drake... have to pay normal mana to proliferate but can be tapped for artifact mana and is a great flying blocker.
How many lands?.. because fitting it all in, including counter spells is really hard.
Since there is only two reasons I haven't won by the time I reached 7 mana..
Either all my infect creatures are getting blocked or they got removed/nuked.... Sheoldred solves this problem... albet a little slowly.
You will need Rampant Growth
Consider Phyrexian Swarmlord ... infect swam and blockers.
Infect doesn't stand up well late game.. it is just easier to win with Glistener Elf and Plauge stinger.
Phyrexain crusader and Hand of the praetors are probably the biggest infect creatures you will see.
Psychosis crawler + Culling Dias + proliferate?
Sylvok lifestaff + perilous Myr + Culling Dias
Does the normal tapping abilities of Blue creatures still work?. can I tap Merfolk Looter to draw a card and to get 2 mana for artifacts.
Vensers Journal or just pack Elixir of Immortality and keep returning the graveyard... Time Reversal is great as well.

trigon of thought[/CARD]?
The stragey would be to draw your own deck to victory... I am currently having mana acceleration problems with my attempts at building the deck... dying before I am in a position to deal any damage... or just getting O-ringed while I have no available mana or answers in my hand.
Basically i don't have the money for Wurmcoil engines... or any of the big finnisher creatures... I own a Sphinx of Uthuun though.
ah Ha! Darksteel sentinel getting 6 mana is easy... blocker for life!... also cheap $ wise.
*sigh*... too much to fit in deck.. not enough space :(.
Then only running the <=2 mana creatures
Glistener elf, Blighted agent, Ichorclaw myr, plauge stinger and Flensemite.
Equipment. Viridain Claw and Swiftfoot boots.
Black creature removal, Green pump and Blue unblockable... I have been running Flight in the absence of distortion strike.
I have Sheoldred + Putrefax as a finnisher
I have been playing around with it for weeks now... pulling in and out spells.. I had more counterspells but I removed them for bounce so I could so something about creatures already on the field.
I removed Venser journals because I wasn't really having a problem hitting my max hand size since there was always something to play.
I badly need air defence.... I was considering Thrummingbrid or Viral Drake
I just added the Sphinx because it really needed a finnisher.
In any case my deck is already overflowing.. I probably need a few more lands (although all the draw makes that less of a problem)
I just don't have the money for Conscrated Sphinx or Jace 3.0 and Tezzret's gambit is hard to get a hold of ,everyone wants to keep thiers.
There is a number of vedaken cards that are interesting particularly since I have ample artifacts... but the deck is already full.
same with Blue sun zenith.
Spashing black feels like it would solve some of the problems with this deck except I have no space.
Edit:...hmm what about red... Volt charge, Shrine of Burning Rage, Act of treason culling dais their creature. I wish I could afford Chandra because she'd be perfect for that strategy, copy steady progress lose nothing, draw two cards deal two damage.
I really think that maybe I should really max out the proliferate... core prowlers, viral drake in, divination out... using culling dais to store draws is the best way to do this.
Mana on hand when you need it as well.
Immolating soulstealer[/CARD]+ tainted strike + 16 hp.
useless in multiplayer.
unless it is just to take one threat straight out of the game.
although you are running black so you could be able to lifegain yourself back into the game with some allied protection.
Mind unbound
Culling Dais
Shrine of Boundless Growth + Blue Sun Zenith
and Poliferate.
I am working on it....
Currently too weak to everything...
Agro creature decks crush me too fast.... I have tumble magnets but it only stops one... I block with 1/1's then scarfice them to the dais for later draws when Psychosis crawler it out.... merfolk looter really helps though
Control decks O-ring everything I need... black and red can deal with psychosis easy.
It needs a finnisher
I am currently working on a Psychosis crawler mindunbound deck.
a draw to win deck.
shrine of boundless growth + Blue Sun Zenith could fix the mana drain of it... in a poliferate deck.
unfortunately I don't have the buget for most of the cards required.
hard to get people to trade thier ponders and Manaleaks since they are must in any blue deck.
my current deck has a serious problem stopping creatures... I have Tumble magnet.. but they can only stop one creature.
Most decks I come across are agro decks... most of the decks I play are Agro decks.
thougths on Vedalken Certarch? if I am using silver myr as blue mana ramp.
warstorm surge
Can work very well in a Red Green mana ramp deck
Sheoldred Whispering One
Reanimator mill deck.
