We have no lands, but we do have mana. Then we mill out seck for the win.

If you are new to mtg, it is probably better to start with things other than legacy. I would suggest sealed.

Belcher is a bit tacked on, rather than an actual wincondition. It is 3 mana more than the two other win conditions. Do you really need 12 do-nothing (except win the game) cards in the deck.

The sideboard is a bit loose as well. When are you actually siding these cards? Generally, belcher/oops, all spells decks have a wishboard, using Burning Wish for example to make the sb part of the deck.

Artifact hate, actual counterspells, more disruption are generally the things you want in a SB.

I was deciding whether Goblin Charbelcher was worth it at 6 mana. Burning Wish however, is WAY too expensive. With it we would no longer be a budget deck. I will add it to the upgraded list though.

Burning wish was just an example, some other wish may be more appropriate; I have always suggested expensive cards for this deck :)

Charbelcher is actually 7 mana. 4 to play and 3 to activate. That is 3 mana more than current win conditions, which is entirely too much.

I should have cought that. At that point, I may as well play Recross the Paths... Should I play that? Maybe I could do Living Wish to get more win-cons...

Spencerbot15, Recross the Paths puts the cards on the bottom of your library, not the graveyard.

Also, the Cabal Therapy count seems a bit high; you can sacrifice a Narcomoeba or Balustrade Spy to use its flashback

I know what Recross the Paths does. It is awesome anyway. I get to organize my library... also Cabal Therapy is the most expensive card in the deck for a reason, it is awesome. I might replace one Cabal Therapy with another Dread Return. This is for when you have the maniac or Azami in your hand. You sacrifice the useless Wild Cantors to therapy to discard the combo piece and then sacrifice the other cantors to Dread Return. Thoughts?

Hmm. As far as names go, you could use a play on words, such as "Eccentricity of/in the Undercity". It uses the "maniac" part of Laboratory Maniac and ties in, with a fluent word scheme, the word theme of an undercity. Tell me if this doesn't fit; I can figure something else out.

Spencerbot15, ah! Didn't see the potential of that bit... you're right! It is good.

How do you get the Cantors on the battlefield?

Spencerbot15 says... #14

Cipher001 I love that name. Thank you. I will update the description ASAP. Jhereg2467, Angel of Glory's Rise returns them to the battlefield.

Jhereg2467 says... #15

So I still have to mulligan if I have 2 combo pieces in my hand.

Jaceblue12 says... #16

the Recross the Paths count seems to be a bit high to me; if you spend the mana to cast it, then it will still take a few more turns to draw the cards you need to win... maybe replace 1 or 2 with some more Cabal Therapys

Spencerbot15 says... #17

I am attempting to make extra copies of the win-con spells. If you have a few draw cards, you will win fairly quickly. If anyone else has a better idea, please tell me.

in the description, the 'what should i add if i want to upgrade the deck' section seems to be a bit strange, you say you should start by going towards the following deck but don't say what you should to then. maybe try 'You should try to upgrade to the following deck:'?

April 8, 2015 8:12 p.m.

Spencerbot15 says... #19

Okay. I will fix that.

April 9, 2015 7:32 a.m.

Jaceblue12 says... #20

thats not what i meant to fix: your original text on the tab was good, but inside it above the decklist it doesn't quite make sense, you tell them they should start by upgrading to the following deck but don't give them anything to do after they are done 'starting.'

Spencerbot15 says... #21

After they have that deck, they have the best deck possible. Some people run Lion's Eye Diamond. The deck I made is the optimul decklist.

Jaceblue12 says... #22

yes, i know that. but you say they should START by upgrading to the following deck, then don't tell them what to do when they're done with that bit which you imply is only the start of what they should do.

April 9, 2015 6:29 p.m.

Spencerbot15 says... #23

I implied that was only the start of upgrading? Apparently I am really bad at the text in descriptions... Also, if anyone knows how to replace the background or change how the title looks, please tell me.

Wow, almost 650 views and 20 upvotes! Keep up the good work. Also, you still haven't fixed it. It is inside the tab, above the decklist.

Hey, JW, was Serum Powder ever considered?
