What about Seht's tiger? Would that work? Argh, complicated, my brain hurts!

I think it does. It has no acceleration and needs quite some mana.

Interesting. Deathbringer liege is definately strong. The white part sucks, the Royal assassin part is great. But it's unreliable unless you play multicolored spells yourself, or plan to play two spells per turn. Anyway, I'm replacing the two disenchants for two Mortifies. I'd rather take out...

I think the card you're looking for is Harmonic sliver. Green (and white), cheap (costs 3, transmute!), and it also nails artifacts. As for Twilight shepherd, I'm no fan of it. To make good use of it you need to have a lot of creatures on the board. And it costs too much, and it's not green or...

Instead of Absolver thrull I'd go with Wickerbough elder or something like that. Or Wispmare. I'm not too keen on Absolver thrull. What about Woodfall primus? High CC, but persist would be great with bounce. And it's a good finisher. I wouldn't cut the Drifts. They're great on defense, and...

Looks solid. As a land you could run Treva's ruins, a lair from planeshift (or something). I'd say it's almost better than Seaside citadel because it doesn't come into play tapped, but you do have to return a land to your hand. Worth to take a look I guess. I also like the single Qasali...

You're right, more persist would be great. There aren't that many good white persisters though. There are more in black. Does the deck want more black? We could up the cauldron cards for persist and just add 187's/sacrificers or just a bunch of good creatures. I'm adding a Wrath of God, that...

Boring, yes. Yet competitive. B/G suicide is a competitive deck in legacy now. Not among the best, but good enough to be tier 2. But as I said, running Tarmogoyfs isn't exactly budget. You're right about Snuff out, but it kills the two creatures that matter in Legacy: Tarmogoyf and Goblin...

I wanted to do something with Ajani's first ability, so I looked for cards that trigger when you gain life. Ageless entity would be nice, but it's out of color. So I'll go with Well of Lost Dreams, which will draw us cards. 4x Ajani Goldmane 2x Soul Warden 3x Savannah Lions 2x White Knight...

Brilliant, isn't it? It should save you a lot of work. Most of the time you can see by the name or email if it's a bot (not that many nicaraguans with a russian email). Otherwise you'd have to figure it out based on their profile. You could put a message regarding the user verification in the...

I take insult in the nomination of Ice cauldron. That card is great! Well, I used to think it was great, which makes me realise how much my decks sucked back then. Ice cauldron is something like a mana battery. Sub-par, but not useless. I think I used it to avoid manascrew. Yes, I know, a land...

Woah, calm down guys ;) You can build black aggro decks in different ways (duh). Suicide means just that: or you win, or you loose to your own cards. I've always played black, and you could say I'm an expert at losing. There are two defining aspects in sui: 1. Beatdown. For this, you need...

Persist, brilliant idea ;) Cauldron of Souls! I think we have a deck theme... now somebody add Necroskitter, quick! 4x Ajani Goldmane 2x Soul Warden 3x Savannah Lions 2x White Knight 2x Angel of Despair 2x Desolation Angel 4x Vindicate 2x Swords to Plowshares 2x Disenchant 1x Glorious...

I've got a suggestion to the forum admins: do the user verification of new members manually. There aren't that many "real" new members, and a lot of spambots. If you do the verification manually, we'd get rid of all the spam and the spambots. And then Ransac will have so much free time that he...

Congratulations!

I'm no judge, and I know crap about planeswalkers. But I found this on wizards' site: So if you play an Earthquake you could kill an opposing planeswalker, but keep your own unharmed. Right? Because in that case, Earthquake would be a solid choice. And since it still has only 59 cards, we can...

Somehow my explanation of my card choice didn't make it into my post. So I'll give it again: I wanted a card to make use of Ajani's +1/+1 counters, so I looked for a creature with persist. The white ones suck, so I went with Puppeteer clique. For today I'll just add the two missing vindicates...

4x Ajani Goldmane 2x Soul Warden 3x Savannah Lions 2x White Knight 2x Angel of Despair 2x Vindicate 2x Swords to Plowshares 2x Disenchant 1x Ghost Council of Orzhova 1x Puppeteer clique Creatures: 11 Non-Creature Cards: 10 Lands: 0 Total: 19

It sounds a bit negative, but I see your point. I think it'd be boring to build decks with 4x and with guidelines. We'd just be building regular decks and giving critique on card choices and numbers. That can be nice, but if I'd want that I could just as well open a thread and start with a...

You are right, the deck isn't mana intensive at all... which is, well, wrong. It's not a weenie rush deck, because Liliana is too expensive for that. I think it should've become a control deck. Perhaps this deckbuilding exercise should become more of a "deck building guidelines" game than a "add...
