This is the best deck I have ever built.

Solved the format. Hidden Peregrine Drake, hidden Sinkhole, great brewer, it's like if Black Lotus was common and nobody noticed.

Eager Construct for Queen!   Prime Minister!  Governer-General!  er, Consulate Head!

Maybe some Spirebluff Canal or other sources in Sideboard and Saheeli Rai? Her -2 is just sooooooo good with Construct! :-)

Mirrorpool lets you copy it for more Eager Construct.

Saheeli's Artistry gives you two more Eager Constructs as well!

Soul Separator lets you bring back a dead Eager Construct.

Saheeli Rai copies Eager Construct and helps you find Eager Construct quicker.

Altered Ego lets you make a bigger Eager Construct!

+1, love this deck!

I didn't realise how much I needed this deck in my life.

Now that I've found it, I can't imagine my life without it.

+1 (I would make it +infinity if I could.)

Marvellous suggestions, clayperce and Reaxetion.

Will keep them in mind while playtesting.

So far deck has won no games in testing, but I'm sure that is only because I am only allowed four copies of Eager Construct.

Really the card should have been more like Relentless Rats. Dreadful oversight by Wizards.

Argeaux I couldn't agree more. I presented the ways to jump through hoops to get the same effect. But lets all agree, WotC is to blame here. Can we start a petition to get them to errata it in?

Have written to them.

No response thus far.

Am EAGERLY awaiting their reply.

Not enough Eager Constructs in the sideboard

Would that I could, Camel-Senpai, but I want to keep this deck Standard legal.

Argeaux,
Bad beats.

Some options for your manabase: Inventors' Fair, Ruins of Oran-Rief, and Sequestered Stash.

clayperce I LOVE the Land suggestions.

It's just that I'm a very uncomplicated Magic player and I find those Lands kind of ... fussy.

Wastes are more my style.

Play a Wastes, tap it for .

Simple.

Argeaux,
Maybe some foil Wastes in the sideboard then?

You know, for the mirror.

Argy says... #14

Ah, GREAT idea!

I might try one in the Maybeboard first.

Test with it a bit before I commit.

AgentGreen says... #15

It's simple, basic, and could go very far in Standard

AgentGreen says... #16

Maybe take 2 Constructs out for 2 foil Eager Construct, could be enough to get this deck over the top

Reaxetion says... #17

Wait wait wait wait. Are you using full art Wastes?! That takes away from the real catch of the deck... Eager Construct! You need to get the non-full art Wastes from the intro decks. They will be less distracting.

Rlverwlnd says... #18

haha that was great +1 for that win.

December 16, 2016 1:04 p.m.

Argy says... #19

You know Reaxetion I think you may have isolated the reason that this deck has not been winning as much as it should.

Full art Wastes.

Of COURSE!! How is Eager Construct to shine when everybody is looking at those full art Wastes?

I own the Intro deck that was , with all those non-full art Wastes. My friend was wetting himself over it as it was the first "mono-coloured" Intro deck we'd ever seen.

I will get all those non-full art Wastes into this deck right now.

Good pick up.

Outstanding work. Have you thought perhaps of foiling out the constructs? I know that can get a bit pricey, but I think it would be more than worth it.

December 16, 2016 2:11 p.m.

Argy says... #21

L0stinExile you'll notice that I am considering an Eager Construct in my Maybeboard.

My concern with Foiling the complete set of Eager Constructs would be how OP that would be.

My Opponents are having a tough enough time when they see me lay down an Eager Construct on the field, as it is.

I just think they might concede if they saw an Eager Construct hit the table, and that would be no fun for anyone.

I just priced some Wastes and HOLY HELL!!

Those things are AU$12.

Who would have thought?

clayperce says... #23

It's probably because they have some bizarre (well, to a Yank, anyways) Australian spelling ...

MOAR Island

Argy says... #25

FierceTierce I did not want to steal any thunder from Islands.

clayperce you mean to tell me that we are the only ones who call them Wastes?

What does the rest of the world call them.

Wayssstes?
