Dissolve is a strictly better Cancel and its pretty cheap.

Cancel has 2 better versions in this standard, Dissolve being the better of the two for this deck. It's bassically a free scry 1 if you want to run cancel

Thank you thank you!!! I was unaware of this Dissolve card. As you can see, there are not many Theros Block cards the reason being i skipped the block completely. Dissolve puts the deck price tag up a little, but not too much and i think i can afford buying one play set right up. Thank you again.

I fell that right now there is now reason anyone should play Cancel as Dissipate and Dissolve are just better for the same cost. Also have you thought of Herald of Anafenza . I don't know how expensive it is, but it is another Goblinslide effect.

+1

it's a lot like my brew, check it out;

Thank you for your comments and upvotes everyone! I am working on the "counter issue" :) It simply happens i have plenty of Cancel s but none of the other proposed.

I LOVE YOUR DECK!!! Budget decks are my thing. Although not all of my decks are budget. They sometimes take a life of their own. But I digress. This deck looks super fun. I would love to take your list and refine it. I'd give you credit of course. Keep up the brewing! _ +1 to you sir. I'm assuming you're a sir with a name like anaconda lol.

toss in a purphoros to use with ornithopter and retraction helix and gaurd. plus 1 from me. Check my deck. Archetype of Junk

Thank you very many, all of you! Please use the idea and base as you wish! And if you do, please let me know how you develop it and how did you do with it, I would be most interested!!! I do not ask to be credited as a source in any way. Like the user WhiteEyesClouededbyH8 pointed out, there has been works using these ideas long before I sat down to brew my own poison.

I love this infinite mill combo myself. Nice aggro alternative twist you got going there.

Do you have any trouble with the Mana in this? My only fear would be not getting things out quick enough to defend against those super quick, super aggro red decks.

While Mana Confluence would be useful it's expensive as anything, but if you do have a copy laying around... run it. A few of the bullet lands might be helpful too (and they're far more affordable.)

+1'd for sure though!

Thank you very much! About mana; I have not played with it yet, only simulations--have not been able to participate in FNM. I know, I should have got 21 or 22 lands but instead I think I am going to replace Goblinslide and Briber's Purses with three more Springleaf Drums when I can trade them in. That would allow me some neat mana acceleration very early on, if only lucky with draws and they also would work nice with Ensoul Artifacts. Of course, I will work on lands when ever I get better Standard legal cards, just like last night including that one stray Temple :)

Thank you again for your contribution!

No problem! And good luck! I'll be keeping an eye on this!

This looks really nice. I'd like to see a non-budget version of this for Standard to push it's potential to the max. +1

Thanks!

maybe trim Goblinslide for more lands?

and is Butcher of the Horde really worth the black splash, same with the swarm?

Thank you!

Actually, I had not noticed it was only those three cards :D so thank you again for pointing that out to me. Now that I think of it, I may very well replace Butchers with those Riders - I only need to get them riders first. And Goblinslide is there to feed the Butcher and Swarm, so If I take them out, I can get rid of the slide too, maybe adding Darksteel Citadel to improve likelyhood of artifact+scissors combo...? Need to work to get them needed cards!

Any ideas is if Pearl Lake Ancient would work in a brew like this? Why people even play it as win con, I have seen some do? I got one extra laying around so I could throw it in if it would work...

Pearl Lake Ancient is really meant for control. This should be comboing turn 4-5ish, so it shouldn't be a problem. Personally, i wouldn't keep a hand with this deck without a combo piece. Ensoul Artifact makes your Ornithopters beaters, so even with that, they are on a 4 turn clock. Pearl lake is a big guy, but a 7 drop is too much in this type of aggressive deck. Id replace some of those spells with Jeskai Ascendancy and Mantis Rider the sb could use tweaking as well. Maybe more lands.

Thank you for the input!

How often do you win by milling? Ain't it a bit too much based on lucky combos?

Once so far, haven't played that much thou -> and of course it is a bit much, I could get by far a better deck by investing money in it. Creating challenging decks of cheap cards is more rewarding (that is, if you meant to ask "why" while not asking it directly?).

I would resign the mill option, but while you see it as a challange for yourself (actually I try something new with milling too, since archetype of turbomill is so both expensive and boring). Why not resign of Butcher of the Horde and Swarm of Bloodflies? You were searching some place for more Mantis Riders. Butcher of the Horde is really good creature but is it worth putting so much land coming tapped? Even 3-colored decks are sick without fetchlands.

True, I am warming up to the idea of retiring Black (Butchers und Swarm) when I get those needed Riders. Mill, it is gonna stay until them needed cards rotate out, however :) Thank you for your comments!

It was fun. I was playtesting, and by turn 6 both games, i had won on tappedout. fun combo. semi-consistent.
