Ok I love this deck. I'm gonna follow this for awhile.

Question. Why Misty Rainforest and not just 4x additional forests? For Stomping Ground ?

Is this a legacy deck or a modern deck, Because your hub says modern, but Anger is illegal in modern. So its a legacy deck?

A few suggestions that I have from extensive playtesting with this sort of deck (although I tried to ramp into a Craterhoof Behemoth for the win):

Summoner's Pact is so, so great. It basically gives you 8 Blightsteel Colossus in your deck, since you tend to win in that turn anyway.

To that end, I'd take out Progenitus and the Worldspine Wurms!- if you have 8 of the Colossus, you don't need the inferior win conditions. And since Emrakul, the Aeons Torn wins just as easily as Blightsteel, and only one is needed to win the game (so the legendary part doesn't matter), I'd drop the Ancient Stirrings since all that card does is dig for a POSSIBLE win condition.

Another card you might want to look into taking out is Summoning Trap , as Quicksilver Amulet can be used while sitting on four mana and you know whether or not it will succeed in fetching you your win con. Also, Through the Breach and Sneak Attack are pretty much the best enablers you have, so you could ditch the Pipers, Summoning Trap, and Anger for four of each and have a more consistent deck.

Finally, I feel like another two copies of Faithless Looting would help you.more than Fury of the Horde to make your combo happen more often. And another dork would improve consistency more than Memnite would.

If you choose not to follow most of this advice, do you mind if I make my own version of the deck using it, credit you, link you it, and run some tests as to what turn both decks win more often than not? I'm curious.

Dekord can you please explain how Summoner's Pact give you 8 colossus? I just am not seeing it.

Thank you for your comments, was it you that featured this?

At the time I was probably thinking of this on a budget, you're more than welcome to make your own version, as I probably won't get around to editing this any time soon. I've had several ideas for the deck but unfortunately on my phone (as that's all I have access to to get on here atm) it's difficult and time consuming. So go ahead, let me know how it performs :)

You know what's helpful? Reading cards. Disregard that, here are some cards I suggest instead:

Signal the Clans , Survival of the Fittest , Time of Need (for Emrakul).

Alrighty, I'll do it.

I'm sorry, didn't realize more than one person commented. I must have gone back and said screw the budget because the deck thinning of fetches was too tempting. And also yes, to fetch the stomping grounds so I know I have red mana.

Anyway, the deck is not legal in modern, correct.

Also thank you to whoever featured this. I noticed it on the feature queue, and it made me happy.

Very cool. I don't think many opponents would see this one coming. +1

Okay guys, played with the numbers a bit (its getting popular again, so I'd like to service the people)

Also added Natural Order to work with Progenitus as a last ditch effort.
