It's so funny you suggest Nevermore , heckproof because I was just thinking the same thing earlier this week! I think I'll add 2x to the sideboard.

Looks like a combination of human tribal and an ally tribal deck that almost beat me once. Flavor-wise, because of the name, it should be mono white, although I can see how good Tezzeret's Gambit could be.

Tezzeret's Gambit is super good here. I've also considered Mass Appeal, but the proliferate and phyrexian mana cost with TG makes it more viable. Also, it's practically impossible to get cocaine that isn't "cut" with something.

Thanks a bunch for the +1, Disasterpiece!!

Thanks so much for the +1, Jackfrost23!!

Nice Decklist! +1 from me. I think you should consider Mirror Entity , possibly over Mikaeus, the Lunarch ? I've found it synergizes very well with Kazandu Blademaster and Hada Freeblade . Also, why do you run Journey to Nowhere over Seal Away out of curiosity?

Thanks a bunch for the +1 and suggestions! Mikaeus, the Lunarch can enter for 2CMC, vs 3CMC for Mirror Entity . This is actually pretty important - I win with this deck with only two lands pretty often. Additionally, Mirror Entity acts as a mana-sink, which ties up mana. My goal with this deck has been to add counters and avoid pumps. Counters stick around, while pumps can be easily removed. Mirror Entity, acting as a lord, becomes a primary target. Without such a pump lord, there is no one key creature opponents can remove to knock down all my creatures. Also, I can include Mikaeus with other 1CMC creatures with Immortal Servitude , which, while Mikaeus dies instantly, will still trigger my Champion of the Parish s and any Thalia's Lieutenant s already on the battlefield. If I have a Metallic Mimic , Mikaeus can even stick after a Servitude. Also, Mikaeus is awesome with Thalia's Lieutenant , it allows Mikaeus to enter for 2CMC and tap the next turn to add counters. Also, as Mikaeus repeats, because he bestows counters, his effects continually build up over time. Kind of like the difference between owning a home (Mikaeus) and renting (Mirror Entity). The only problem with Mikaeus is that he's Legendary. If he wasn't, I'd run a full set.

I run Journey to Nowhere over Seal Away because in playtesting it was too common that creatures I wanted to remove weren't tapped. Keeping mana open to play Seal Away ended up just slowing me down. This deck wants to tap out pretty much every turn. Also, with Blessed Alliance , I already have an Instant speed removal spell and with the Alliance, I don't have to worry about Indestructible, Hexproof, or Vigilance.

Hello again Kamarupa I have a few more card suggestions for you. I have had success with On Thin Ice in place of Journey to Nowhere . Additionally, True Believer might be slightly better for you than Aegis of the Gods . Also out curiosity, I've recently thought of using Mangara of Corondor in place of Oblivion Ring what are your thoughts on this? Deck still looking good though!

I think I pulled a copy or two of On Thin Ice ... I wonder if I pulled enough Snow-Covered Plains to implement it. I've been fairly enamored with Chained to the Rocks for a quite a while, so On Thin Ice definitely caught my eye when MH hit.

True Believer is for a sure a candidate to replace Aegis of the Gods. I've also been considering Teyo, the Shieldmage . (if only it made Human Defenders!!!)

Mangara of Corondor - Hmmm. A very attractive card in that once it's been activated, there's no opportunity for its targets to come back like there is with O-Ring. AND it's a Human, so it gives us an extra trigger. That said, it's considerably slower than O-Ring, which is itself on the slow side. AND, during that time it could get removed before it could be tapped, which would be a considerable downside. AND the thought of burning up a Brave the Elements just to sac it the next turn is pretty unappealling. I've been thinking of replacing the O-Rings with Generous Gift for both the speed and even broader applications - while 'gifting' opponents 3/3 Elephants isn't lovely, only destroying its target seems like the real trade-off vs O-Ring. Additionally, with GG, we lose the ability to hit Emrakul or other similarly vulnerable threats. Have you tried Mangara at all yourself? Any successes?

Also, it's so nice of you to make the effort to leave me this comment. As silly as it sounds, seeing it really picked me up today.

I have not had a chance to really test Mangara of Corondor I'll let you know how it goes. I think I prefer O-Ring to Generous Gift but that instant speed is very attractive.

P.S. I'm glad that I was able to help!

Thanks an extra bunch for the +1, itachi45!

Wow, thank you so much for +1, vorpalaxe!!

so how do u beat burn. I figure it is a bad matchup for u cause i run boros lifegain burn.

mikeb388, well, I don't play against burn much, but if I were, the things that would help me the most are Brave the Elements, True Believer, and The Ozolith. I'd probably also sideboard in Nevermore and Elixir of Immortality. If I played against burn more often, I'd have a different sideboard. There are plenty of spells available in white. Also, if you use a bolt on my t1 creature drop, that's a 1 for 1 trade - so no one is getting any real advantage. If you target me instead of my creature on T1, then I have a decent chance of pumping that creature up to 4/4, which makes it harder to burn. I can also use Brave the Elements and Abzan Falconer to avoid many blockers. It's not the greatest deck ever built, but in the $100 range, it's a pretty solid list.

Yeah Kor Firewalker and Auriok Champion kick burns ass

Hi ! Very nice deck ;)

I playtested it a bit, and I found out that Buried Ruin is not that relevant, moreover with Glacial Fortress you need Plains so why not include the azorius ravland : Hallowed Fountain ?

Thanks so much for the +1 and suggestion, elariand!

Buried Ruin is included for not only The Ozolith, but also Ratchet Bomb and Pithing Needle, which are in the sideboard. Since I'm not running more than 1-2 copies of each of those spells, having a way to get them back can be pretty useful.

I've chosen Glacial Fortress over Hallowed Fountain for a few reasons, the first and foremost being cost - this is a "budget" deck. I'm actually pretty impressed that while I've tweaked it here there, for years now it's stayed very near $100. Additionally, this deck doesn't have much in the way of lifegain, so I'm not a big fan of losing 2 life, especially when I can already opt to lose 2 life to cast the only spell that has a U mana cost. There are a lot of plains in the deck, so it's pretty uncommon to draw only Glacial Fortress. Of course, those are just my reasons. Anyone building a similar deck could opt for other lands of course. :)

Thanks so much for the +1 and folder add, DannyLuoXD!
