Absolutely hilarious if you can last until turn six. ManabarbsMTG Card: Manabarbs is great in this. This might be one of the most fun casual decks I've seen. Maybe find something to give Darien, King of KjeldorMTG Card: Darien, King of Kjeldor hexproof, like Mask of AvacynMTG Card: Mask of Avacyn. I think that could replace ShockMTG Card: Shock because it would allow you to just let ManabarbsMTG Card: Manabarbs do the work.

I threw in a couple of the cavern of souls from the new set... Avacyn's mask would be cool, and cheap. I pretty much love the idea of the deck, because the win con's come out of pretty much nowhere. I'm collecting the pieces and will update once I get it playable.

I'm wondering what to use in the initial couple rounds to stay alive. The ShockMTG Card: Shocks and white control are the stall theory. All the life gain will help too, in my head. And theoretically if I can enchant a Midnight GuardMTG Card: Midnight Guard with Elemental MasteryMTG Card: Elemental Mastery the game is over right there, because he can go infinite. All the more case for some masks, though. I like that more and more. Nice suggestion!

Where does Ajani's PridemateMTG Card: Ajani's Pridemate fit in this? And does Lightning HelixMTG Card: Lightning Helix feel better than Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Ring?

Upon further thought, since you won't be swinging with anything you're giving hexproof Swiftfoot BootsMTG Card: Swiftfoot Boots is a better option. It's a lot cheaper and more versatile. Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Ring is basically a must, though Ajani's PridemateMTG Card: Ajani's Pridemate would be a great addition. Also, sideboard Suture PriestMTG Card: Suture Priest in case of a mirror match up or against a token deck.

Upon further inspection, you've already put Suture PriestMTG Card: Suture Priest in. Nevermind on that point.

Okay, so I have the Wardens, the Attendants, the Guards, 3 Priests, Dariens, Elemental Masteries, O-rings, and some chumpy damage spells. I think I'll use Swords to PlowsharesMTG Card: Swords to Plowshares because I have them. Almost there on the first draft of this deck. Ugh, so many cards that no one uses, it's hard to find some of them in trade binders.

If we are just trying to protect good old Darien, King of KjeldorMTG Card: Darien, King of Kjeldor why not use Lightning GreavesMTG Card: Lightning Greaves? Seems like a boatload of fun. Nice work!

Since this is obviously not standard, I'd recommend taking out the Searing Spear and running Lightning Bolt , removing Elemental Mastery as well, since it doesn't really fit the deck in my opinion.

For instant speed, white removal that interacts well with Manabarbs , Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares works wonders. Also, since your deck works with manabarbs out anyway, why not use Idyllic Tutor to pull it out when you need it? Just my thoughts on the subject anyway.

You thoughts and comments on my personal manabarbs deck, manabarbs 4th revsion would be appreciated

I had put in Elemental Mastery to infinite combo with Midnight Guard ... But that combo could very well fit better in another deck.

I love the Idyllic Tutor idea!! And the heavier control!! Thanks for the comments. I definitely needed to rework this, and these ideas are amazing!
