i have been working on this deck for awhile, playing it and changing it, attempting to make it fun, flexibile, and competitive from multiple angles. i would appreciate any advice you might have to offer. Blind Zealot's House of Desecration thanks in advance!

what your trying to do has already been done. its called The Gate. and making it work will cost you around $2000. what you have there is very casual, at best. and not very good at that.

regardless, what exactly do you understand for competitive?

you have an awfully slow curve. you'll get hopelessly outraced 9 times out of every 10 by aggro, and destroyed by tempo.

you have little game vs combo decks. some discard disruption (and not even targetted), thats all. that plus the slow curve is basically an auto-loss vs 50% of the meta right now.

reanimators will eat you alive. as in, not even funny.

you devote 10 slots in your deck to fight creatures (and zero vs planeswalkers), except legacy isnt a creature format. The best use for them, I assume, is 2-for-1ing yourself to get rid of your abyssals. and when thats the best you can do, you know your in deep, deep trouble
