Sorry for taking so long to respond to your comment. I haven't gotten the chance to do testing with Serum Visions yet, however I have added it to my maybeboard. I will be actively testing it. As for Tangle Wire, I've detailed my reasons for Stasis in the recent updated description, however I will say Tangle Wire does not combo as well with Ral Zarek unlike Stasis which is an overall more difficult card to deal with. Chandra, the Firebrand is an awesome idea, she never once came to mind before now, I will be actively testing with her as well now.

Needs 400% more Standstill if you want to earn true loathing. You could also win through man lands. So, why not?

Also, if youre dedicated combo, why not run Ponder which adds extra ways to eliminate pocketing via reshuffles?

I love the suggestion of Standstill, it seems like it could be quite good, I will be adding it to my maybeboard in the next update and begin actively playtesting with it. As for the creature lands, though they are the most interesting suggestion I've gotten for the deck thus far, without the proper support in legacy or even in a casual setting (my playgroup) they wouldn't amount to much more then an unneeded mana sink and an alternative way to destroy my lands by becoming creatures. There is one more point I would like to make on them, and that point is tempo. While the deck is incredibly slow, and is meant to slow the tempo down of my opponents to a far more manageable crawl. Adding in lands like Faerie Conclave or Wandering Fumarole, which enter tapped, would slow my own tempo down to the point of being dangerous as I wouldn't have access to mana that I normally would when using a shock, dual or even a basic land. As for Ponder, when you were looking at my deck your eyes must have passed over it, it's been in my deck since it's original iteration. Thank you for taking the time to comment/make suggestions for my deck.

Great deck! +1 Not a huge fan of the price though. Are you saving up for this deck? Would be interested to see a budget version (or, you could let me do it :D).

Thanks for the upvote and checking out my deck, I am not saving up for this deck as I do in fact own it, I am very blessed to have a large collection of cards at my disposal. I tend to be very busy which is why I haven't gotten around to setting specific cards to foils/sets that I got them from (the plan is to do that today.) The idea of a budget version interests me GREATLY and I would love to do a budget version of the deck. Right now it's not budget friendly at all and I'm currently trying to get my hands on a set of Volcanic Islands. I've always loved budget versions of decks and I think it's something I would have a lot of fun doing, help would be GREATLY appreciated so perhaps you could help me work on it in the future when I get the time.

Hey, yeah. Oops. Somehow glossed over ponder. Standstill is excellent. Most people don't realize tat not popping it immediately doesn't benefit thm, and by the time they doo, it's too late. I undertake about man lands. I don't use or like them, but they run in a lot of control shells. Unless you count depths as a man land. I guess it kind of is. Heh.

Sweet! Are these cards available in Magic 2015 (the video game)? Maybe we could duel or something.

I would probably try to make a budget version of this deck and i'd like your opinion when it's done. :D
