This is going to be a substantial overhaul, so I'm making a new deck entry to preserve my existing decklist.

Sometimes I just want to kill someone with a junk rare.

I don't have enough of the very expensive Vintage cards to build much of a deck, but I'm playing against someone with essentially an unlimited budget. Now, I don't mind being the underdog, but I figured I'd set myself up to do well against players with a variety of decks (in terms of competitiveness), since some friends in a boat similar to mine do also build Vintage decks.

The goal here is NOT to win at a competitive tournament, but rather to be able to engage meaningfully in a game against a Vintage combo deck. His games typically go mana rocks, get Ancestral Recall somehow, Time Walk or Magus of the Future, Auriok Steelshapers combo with Black Lotus and Sensei's Divining Top, get Time Vault and Voltaic Key, and win. Sometimes only some of those things happen.

This deck is a complete overhaul of my last attempt at a vintage deck, Lands Combo (Casual vs. Competitive), which wasn't really up to snuff. This time, we are adding in Monastery Mentor because it synergizes really well with what this combo wants to do, and is a serious threat. Unfortunately, I don't have enough of the expensive pieces to pull off a legit Mentor deck, which is obviously more competitive.

Haven't really done anything with the sideboard yet.
