This might sound stupid after thinking so hard about this and realizing how good confidant is, but is Grim Haruspex a fit as the draw engine? Rough idea: creatures 4 Carrion Feeder 4 Gravecrawler 3 Rotting Rats 4 Blood Artist 3 Bloodghast 2 Mesmeric Fiend 3 Liliana, Heretical Healer 2...

Thanks everyone for feedback. Here's my current idea: creatures 4 Gravecrawler 4 Carrion Feeder 3 Bloodghast 4 Blood Artist 4 Dark Confidant 3 Liliana, Heretical Healer 2 Gatekeeper of Malakir not creatures 4 Cabal Therapy 4 Hymn to Tourach 2 Thoughtseize 2 Tragic Slip 4 Smallpox land 16...

I just need to hack about a dozen slots to make it work, that won't be hard I swear. . . .

Yeah, mostly the speed up the clock and provide reach, but the body is not irrelevant. That said with Lili I'm definitely not running 4. Probably 2. Maybe none. I've got a list in my head at 62 cards, I just have decide if it is close enough to pull the trigger or if I should dig deeper.

Chris: I don't see why not, I just need to figure which nonbasics to play. I like the idea of wasteland the best because it keeps in theme with "being immune to wasteland", but maybe I'm overrating that quality. If I cut back on Messangers and Pox, I won't need as much black mana I suppose.

Thoughtseize is fine, I have one in my cube I can borrow anyway. I also have one sinkhole, one wasteland, one Lili. . . I mean I have a cube so I have one of mostly everything except the ABU duals which were sold a while ago. I have a full playset of Mishras, but is making myself vulnerable...

Help me build a shitty budget Legacy deck. Here is my premise: Pox is one of my favorite constructed cards, but I don't want to splurge on a playset of Lillianas. Zombardment is one of my favorite Legacy designs, but I don't want to buy dual lands. My compromise? This is the skeleton...

Basically everyone I play with loves fungus decks. We've got strong Fallen Empires nostalgia and Time Spiral was probably our favorite limited environments. Might this rule work? I think I (or someone else) may have mentioned it before, but it integrates into my cube much better after the Tarkir...

What kind of scumbag passes a post with a picture of Kird Ape and doesn't like it? I think Liliana is 100% uncutable and Crucible is a lame card. Force of Will is pretty good in my cube, but its a weird situation because forcing to save a dude with an aura on it is taking a 2 for 1 to stop a...

Setessan Tactics is lots of fun, but I've noticed that it is a difficult card for players to understand exactly what it does and when they first try to play it, they realize mid-sequence it doesn't quite work how they thought it does and it ruins there whole line of play. Once people wrap there...

I don't play raze. I assume its good in all in aggro and useless everywhere else. If you absolutely can't have the opponent hitting 4 drops and you have no real plan to win after turn 5 other then topdecking burn, its a solid card.

Its even nuttier with Raze. Not only do you get an extra Lynx trigger and not lose a card, you still get to play a two drop. 0 mana stone rain + shock to the face.

I liked this topic and I wrote about it. Some people have already commented on some of the same stuff it says already. Hopefully you don't mind reading it again. Maybe this is an article in the making, but I'm sure it needs (lots ) of editing. Archetypical Thinking It should go without...

Well, in its defense, it isn't telling you how to design an interesting, effective aggro section, its telling you that you should have an aggro section and that in order to have an aggro section you need to actually commit a certain mass of cards. So, yeah, its dated because most have us have...

Yeah, tithe is sweet, I'm pretty sure its going to have an impact while Gift of Estates probably won't. Speaking of prowess I was thinking about going to 4 brainstorms, blue doesn't have much going on so why not milk the whole support color thing and give predict more play? Maybe thats' a swap.

Riptide cubes: The only place you can cut two brainstorms and still be running five.

Elite Scaleguard is a wrecking ball. Gleam of Authority is fragile, but deadly. Lots of incentives in white, a good place to centralize the theme.

Hangarback Walker is generically good, but it definitely gets even better with extra counters. Undergrowth Champion, Managorger Hydra, the renown creatures and the awaken spells are good sources of creatures with counters. Blessed Spirits is good if you've got enchantress support. Nothing...

I'm all for home made or third party components. You can read my many rants on the subject. I have a large number of homemade board/card games in my collection. I have a cycle of homemade fetchlands. I think that the proccess of playing a game is something that can't be owned. I think the prices...

Oh yeah, there's Mardu Skullhunter, but he is super awkward with Champion of the Parish.
