Penny Dreadful information: (http://www.reddit.com/r/pennydreadfulmtg)

This is an interesting toolbox deck that started with Trophy Mage into Sunforger + Kazuul's Toll Collector but has become a Mardu control deck instead of a Jeskai combo deck.

Open the Armory is the first tutor, which can pull up some strong aggro-stoppers in Kirtar's Desire and Dead Weight . It can also pull up Haunted Plate Mail in the middle stage of the game for a creature. And finally, it fetches Sunforger , which is sort of the finisher of the deck.

Once Sunforger is on the field, you can get a creature out, or animate a Haunted Plate Mail or generate two 1/1 Soldiers end-of-turn with Mardu Charm . Then you can start burning out your opponent, or dealing with the threats on the board. The creature can beat down for some serious damage, too.

I've only gone through one league with it, but the Necropotence midrange matchup seems pretty good. A resolved Compost is huge, and a reason to play the Vivid lands. I think the aggro GW Tokens deck is a tough matchup, but most other ones are manageable.

Currently, I'm considering including reanimator creatures to make the deck more removal-resilient - see the Maybeboard.

Any comments are appreciated!
