Just a rough draft of a Praetor deck I've been fooling around, wanted to get some feedback on it.

The basic idea of the deck is to play Joiner Adept, Prismatic Omen and Birds of Paradise early to fix mana, and use Farseeks if need to be to fish out some of the shock lands for better production. During the early game, hopefully you'll draw into a praetor, Time of Need, or Elvish Piper. The piper will drop your praetor on turn 5 at best, and at worst you have a solid defense of Vine Trellis' until you can grab a praetor. Asceticism, Naturalize and Go for the Throat are the only real protection in the deck, but against a casual kitchen table opponent, you shouldn't have to worry too much about being swamped early game. If all else fails, you have numerous shock lands and your birds of paradise to play a praetor for his/her full cost, but it won't usually come to that.

Sideboard stuff is all dependent on the kinda deck your facing. Extra Naturalizes, Praetors, GFTT, and Asceticism. Summoning Trap has its quirks and could win you the game, but it only shines in certain situations so it doesn't maindeck. Garruk is the same way, he may help with paying for the cost of a praetor early game but his other effects don't mesh well with the rest of the deck.

So there ya go, its my first deck and i realize its got problems. Weak early game, no defense against flying, reliant on green mana at times, but thats what this site is for, feedback and deck building.
