No Thunderbreak Regent? I'm looking at the synergy with it and Kolaghan's Command.

enpc : Great catch. Those were supposed to be in I just forgot to add. They Will be replaced if next Zendikar gives us a new manland that's better though.
Femme_Fatale : Trust me when I say I WANT him to be here...but he can't. This is a grindy semi-control midrange deck and that exact spot where he would go is currently held by Outpost Siege which is just miles better here. When I'm ahead on board, I get to punish wraths. When I'm behind, I get a Phyrexian Arena without paying life. Card has no downside as far as i'm concerned meanwhile dragon can't block a lot of things and has the potential to be a terrible top deck.
That being said, you could however replace thundermaw with him. I just feel thundermaw is better suited for this meta.

actually yes I am. The deck plays at sorcery speed a lot as it is and some planeswalkers could truly prove to be problematic especially if I'm bricking on creatures. in most cases I'm valuing versatility over speed. It's sort of a theme in this deck

Sorcery speed control is a thing, but for most sorcery speed control decks you have to put full commitment on the sorcery aspect, not go half and half. Though that's kinda pointless when Bolt is considered irreplaceable.
And I do think that for mardu, Dreadbore is the better option. Not a lot of creatures with haste in this meta, and you can't prevent etb effects with Terminate. Not too mention Lili is bolt proof and Karn and Ugin can be a pain. Dreadbore synergizes well with Outpost Siege. I vote for more :3
And I see your point VampireArmy. Thundermaw Hellkite is a good anti-Siege Rhino card. Have you thought about adding in Wurmcoil Engine, Inferno Titan, Sun Titan or Grave Titan?

6 mana without evasion is just a solid no-no here. The dragon is straight up win con as well :) it does a lot of different things even though it looks like it doesn't.
She (I dunno why but I'm liking my dragons as females lately haha) :
Spot whipes opposing Lingering Souls. Those are annoying as hell and really clog the board (I should know, i'm packing 4 of them :P)
Blocks Tasigurs, Rhinos, and often Goyfs favorably if they so happen to slip past my plethora of removal
finishes out the game very quickly by being 5 power in the air. The air part is very important.
This is a side note : I want to have less bolts and more straight kill spells. Helix is probably going to be cut if I need to

nice list man, you inspired me to put my own spin on it, and id love some feedback on it, Not every deck has to have abrupt decay I GUESS ]:

I'm still wondering why no Liliana of the Veil, I personally think that she would do much better than Kolaghan's Command. And you'll still more sideboard against burn. 2 Timely Reinforcements isn't going to be enough. Perhaps remove Rest in Peace for another?

Lili is a huge maybe. My deck likes casting spells not pitching them. Also remember that she's terrible against little kid abzan. Free creatures for them = a dead me very fast. She's okay everywhere else I assume
The command doesn't need to be here but it's nice. I'm considering cutting if for Mardu Charm honestly since the charm works as removal, tokens, and discard which is everything this deck is.
My burn matchup should be okay. gaining 6 on top of all of my discard spells usually is enough. Cutting my RIP makes my already extremely bad Living End matchup straight up unbeatable. Not to mention I like to board it in vs abzan to mess with goyfs and lingering souls flashback and jeskai to nerf the shit out of snapcaster

Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to put text onto it (ie, make it a background). The only way around that is to make it a gif I do believe. But then I'd have to make custom versions for each size. Unless Blind_Guardian/

Let's start out with a proper text gradient then. I take it you still want the red->black text white shadow?

We should take this to a different place :P

Is there a way to do that with the cursive looking people have been using?
March 11, 2015 12:15 a.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #22
Cursive huh. I don't think this style would look good with borders. Basically what I tried to do was the fog representing some sort of arrow, or forward movement, or trail. Similar to how the morph objects are portrayed. I thought it would be cool to resemble mardu's constant rushing and movement in your name. Maybe it should be italicized. Different font to.

You has full creative control. I give you 5 feature tokens when you done :x. Take your time if you'd like as well. I get that you have other stuff to do potentially

Background as background for the site, the deck description or as background you can put text over?
