THANK YOU ALL for voting to make this the #1 OVERALL DECK LAST MONTH!!!
IN Beck / Call —> OUT Personal Tutor
Although Beck / Call is a 2 CMC spell that may be difficult to pay for initially, it gives us more options to combo off. I have added two to our sideboard, although they will likely remain in our main board instead of Personal Tutor for ongoing play testing (thanks, Destroyerbirb).
Destroyerbirb, those are all great suggestions. I’m especially interested in Beck / Call. Perhaps I will add two to the mix and playtest. I will certainly playtest a couple of Goblin Bushwhackers as an alternate win condition. It sounds like more fun. Thanks for the suggestions.

This looks like a fun deck. It reminds me of my kobold deck (Tucker's Kobolds).
By the way, Mystical Tutor is a slightly more budget version of Personal Tutor for those who would prefer shelling out $50 instead of $100 on tutors.

ChickenBoy13 Thanks for the input. This deck is a lot of fun to play. As for Mystical Tutor, it is unfortunately banned in Legacy. It is otherwise superior to Personal Tutor, and this very deck used to run it before the ban.
I love your kobolds deck, by the way.

I had a 5 color Sliver deck that used a similar method to combo out... the good ol' Recycle and Aluren combo. Add in a couple Heartstones and a Sliver Queen. Earthcraft made for infinite creatures too! It took a little bit to set up, ensuring your ramp could get both the green enchantments on the board early enough. Basically, Alluren made all Slivers into 0 CMC creatures (like the Kobolds), during Tempest/Stronghold.

Superman53, thanks for your interest. Aluren is solid. I run it in a competitive Edric, Spymaster of Trest EDH deck. I see how your sliver deck may have a similar feel. This deck, however, is designed to run a very low mana curve and can not afford higher CMC cards such as Recycle. It is also designed to win in the early game. Nevertheless, I appreciate the similar concept. Thanks again!

Awesome deck and concept 0rc! I especially like how you can pull off running only 2 lands, seems like a lot of fun!

zAzen7977, honestly, it’s The most fun I’ve ever had playing MTG. And I wouldn’t be playing today but for the Kobolds. Thanks for appreciating.

Your write-up is excellent and inspirational and your deck is very impressive. I enjoyed reading it and hope to one day replicate the deck. Kobolds are awesome, despite what Brash Taunter says. I ALMOST want to try and force Purphoros, God of the Forge into the deck, but can't see it happening. The list is too strong already. Great deck!

MTGBurgeoning, thank you. I appreciate the words of encouragement and and glad you found some inspiration in the Kobolds.

That's really cool... I would give +2 if I could. Really unique!

LOVE IT!!!
I played a similar deck using spare cards from a family friend's collection, and it is good!
You might want to consider 4x Beck / Calls as an extra Glimpse of Nature. To add this, I would cut the Personal Tutors and the Dark Rituals.
You could swap win-cons and play Goblin Bushwhackers and Reckless Bushwhackers for an even better win. This way to win is a bit more fun.
