Out of Ideas (help me make a new deck)
Deck Help forum

So, I find myself to have lost interest in magic, to the point it has made it difficult for me to focus on and build a deck that I would really like. I enjoyed my American Midrange control list, but after 4 months playing it, I finally got bored of it.
So here is my request. I have enough cards at my disposal to make two decks (which is what I usually have up and running). I would greatly appreciate list suggestions that are both fun and competitive. I love combo lists and control decks, but I do not get much joy out of aggro, though arguably most people will say I have a knack for building the strongest aggro lists at my local (every one I have ever made was a lend out list that made top 8 every time).
The colors I really want to run are R/G/X and B/W/X, the red green variant to play Huntmaster of the Fells Flip before he cycles and the B/W variant to play me some Obzedat, Ghost Council . I want to avoid playing Geist of Saint Traft due to playing him quite a lot and my friend is playing them in his list now (I do not want to have to pick up another playset). Please offer some suggestions, if I like the list I will build it and test it and give feedback. Thanks!
I'm currently running a RUG Flash list that's quite fun, Huntmaster at instant speed is just brutal. RUG Flash

For an unusual B/W/X deck check out my Junk Ramp With Unconventional Reanimation, it is not just plain old junk reanimator, instead focusing on ramp and has two Obzedat, Ghost Council but one more might be good. Good Luck!

landgrafb: some RWB enchantment list might not be terrible, my buddy ran curses back when we still had Slagstorm and Whipflare and won quite a bit. I do feel though that brw lacks a bit of early game support to survive unless you are playing aristocrats, I might still explore some possibilities with the idea, I do loooooooooovvvve Assemble the Legion .
foxhull: I would definitely try the RUG list if my meta did not seem to gravitate towards control at one end and getcha aggro at the other. I play-tested a bit and it was a tad too slow to keep up with either (control gaining the upper hand with mill and ghost dad later game). Against other mid-range lists, it seemed too come out a bit better after adding another 2 wolf runs to create a threat out of every guy played.
lockiew: I made a comment on the list, it is not a bad idea and the kind of idea that surprises the crap out of people at my local because no one really expects a legitimate ramp like list, I might give it a try once I scoop up the DMZ cards. If anything I might try tweaking the big guys a bit, I'll let you know how it goes and what tweaks if any I made.

I've been considering brewing up a B/R/W enchantment list that wins on the back of Havoc Festival and Assemble the Legion , using Sphere of Safety to hold off the aggro. Still not convinced the build can be good, but I think you should give it a try. If you come up with something that seems strong, let me know.
