this deck i have been playing in Vintage.

i have experimented with green, by adding Tarmogoyf and Trygon Predator but i personally found there was something lacking.

i tried with Black and added hand attack with Thoughtseize and Cabal Therapy ( Cabal Therapy + Young Pyromancer seems stupidly good).

so i settled with white around the Dragons of Tarkir Release where Monastery Mentor finally made it in as well as Kataki, War's Wage and Containment Priest

Against Dredge and Shops i can put up an honest fight, however my sideboard has the answers i need for that.

after lots of testing, i feel my worst matchup is Grixis and Tezzerator

oh, the CMC thing that this site is slightly wrong. well all the CMC 4 or greater either have Delve or have Alternate Casting costs so the adv CMC nonot including them is about 1.25 or something like that number

thoughts at +1 are much appreciated

UPDATE 25/5/2015

2 Fire/Ice for 2 Repeal

UPDATE 28/5/2015

2 Repeal for 2 Price of Progress

1 Containment Priest for 1 Lightning Bolt

1 Containment Priest for 1 Aegis of the Gods

i added in a second Aegis of the Gods as there has been an increase of Storm and Oath decks, and this cards has saved one too many matches against them.

UPDATE 31/5/2015

2 Monastery Mentor for 2 Stoneforge Mystic

1 Price of Progress for 1 Umezawa's Jitte

1 Gitaxian Probe for 1 Batterskull

1 Price of Progress for 1 Library of Alexandria

trying out a new tactic, mentor was getting slower and i wasnt happy to see it when i drew it

UPDATE 16/6/2015

1 Library of Alexandria for the 4th Volcanic Island

2 Stoneforge Mystic for 2 Disenchant
