I'm surprised your not running Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas or Metalwork Colossus. They have incredible synergy and can close a game quickly.

I have a balance deck as well so I'm pretty partial to the archetype. So plus 1!

SeekerofSecrets wow Metalwork Colossus seems so solid in this deck. I'll be sure to give it a spin.

On the lack of Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, I messed around with him in my private list and enjoyed him quite a bit. His first ability offers a nice dig for borderposts rather than a less efficient draw ability, and his second ability is super solid for wrapping up the game. I'm considering a two-of as a semi-potential win con.

I popped over and checked out your list, and I have to ask, how do you like the deck without Greater Gargadon?

Thanks for the +1!

I actually ran him but I switched him out for collusus and never looked back. With only 12 lands it's pretty rare that I miss the sacking affect but I also only run 5 basics.

How has this preformed for you at FNM? I normally just play delver but it would be fun to bring my balance list

SeekerofSecrets So it's been sometime since I've been to a tournament, about two years actually since I took a long hiatus. I brought a version of this deck to my local card shops tournament once, as well as a semi-casual tournament at my local library. The build back then was incredibly simple and didn't have as much character as this build, so I don't know how it would do in a more competitive scene. However, I found out about FNM's local to my college town which I'll be going to in about a month, and I just had to dig my cards back up. I will keep updating this deck as I acquire results from friendly deck-testing and when I get to test the brew in a competitive environment.
