It tends to do the best in games of 4 or less players. Also dont get sour when you loose first once people begain to realize what you doing with this deck. Its a very hated control deck. Make ajustment based off of who your playing against. It seem like alot of people play with blightsteel clossus in there decks. So i have Acquire for that. See where im going with it.

i think Karn, Silver Golem would be a good addition in combination with the commander. say for instance someone played Darksteel Forge and Mycosynth Lattice for preparations of Jokulhaups i can use karn to steel the darksteel forge. or take someones lightning greaves to target that creature now. but i like it better then Memnarch because Memnarch cost more to cast. but both are good cards to add.

I love this deck so much. It's really helped me out with my own stealing deck ( Grixis colors with Nicol Bolas at the helm for flavor ). My only question is why you're not running Clever Impersonator? Even if it's not 'stealing' per se, he's still a wonderfully low cost duplicant!

Thanks heaps man! Well, it's in Prototype stage at the moment and TappedOut thinks its illegal since I've added some Battle for Zendikar cards to it, but this is it so far:
Feel free to give me any advice you think will help.

I really like this deck. One card you should look at for card draw is Ceta Sanctuary. This deck has perfect colors for it if you feel you can deal with the discard.

Its def a good card I would put it in if my commander had all three colors in its casting cost. This would work better in a Animar, Soul of Elements deck

What about High Market?the benefit is not that great (+1 Life), but you get rid of stolen creatures mostly for free.

Yes that card is certaintly worth putting in here. Its better than Safe Haven. And its worth noting that City of Shadows is in the maybe board. But High Market might have the slight edge it

Am I missing something...? Doesn't your commander/general have to be all colors in the deck...?

Your commanders casting cost is in the top right corner Animar, Soul of Elements. Most people think that's the only place for the commanders coloer identity. The commanders color identity is the colors in the whole card except reminder texts like "exstort". For example Bosh, Iron Golem's color identity is red, and Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest color identity is jeski. The colors in your commanders color identity is not just it's casting cost. Another example, if Bringer of the Black Dawn was legendary its color identity is WUBRG. Same thing goes for a commander that doesn't run all 5 colors can't have Bringer of the Black Dawn in the deck. Unless the mana symbles were not there if they where written out then its color identity is different like Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII this can go in any deck even though its making something outside you color identity. Same thing for Bant Panorama.. Hope that clears up any other questions.

Ah. I knew I was missing something. Good info to know!

Love it! I plan to replicate it as soon as I can find the time.
Wondering how you ramp? I'm constantly playing against decks that come out swinging while my decks are still simmering.
I mean I see a Sol Ring in here and some double mana producers, but most of those come in tapped. I'm constantly trying to get the edge timing wise and I just don't see it here. Maybe a Mana Vault, Mana Crypt or an Amulet of Vigor to help with the tapped lands.
Or I'm just missing something.
+1 from me though. I love thievery decks!

It needs a lil bit more ramp, I have been neglecting that for a while... I have been neglecting this deck for while. cause how much hate it draws. I like the Amulet of Vigor, cause it works great with Thawing Glaciers, and since I run all the valid bounce lands it's good with them too like Gruul Turf. Build the deck and tag me in it I'd like to check it out and give some pointers

Looks like a really fun deck!
Just wanted to point out: Vigor + Triskelion + Dictate of the Twin Gods = the very definition of #StopHittingYourself

griffstick says... #24
yes i named the deck a while back and got alot of shit for it and dint quite understand why. so i did some research and the stop hitting yourself deck is a real archetype lol. oh well i still feel this falls under that catagory
