@slvstrChung darn, I was hoping there was a printing I missed or didn’t know about. Thanks for letting me know though. I’m still getting the hang of scryfall’s UI, I started using it after getting fed up with Gatherer and all its quirks and tedious unintuitive nuances. I used to use a particular app but the owner abruptly stopped updating it so it’s useless now.

Per Scryfall, there has only ever been one printing of Galvanic Discharge, and while they did have a second version in the original frame, both versions have the offending flavor text.
I only know how to use Scryfall, so if others can prove me wrong, I'm sure everyone would be happy.

how would it be 15? without a way to give it indestructible, you'd only get 5 before the dino dies.

you'll want to cut down to 60 cards, and add removal.

I can see why you might think that, and generally, versatility in a spell is a real boon, but it's the unstoppableness of a Banefire that makes it such a fantastic threat. Who cares if you can remove a couple creatures when you are about to win the game? Just my two cents, of course.
You're also 6 spells over the minimum of 60 and should make those cuts.

That might be a good idea, But I feel like Clan Defiance has that covered and might be a better bet due to its ability to hit multiple targets. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks! Sorry for totally missing this comment. Hope it went well, and would love to know what you built if you ended up doing so. In case anyone else has the same question: making this with <$100 card value is very doable. You do not need most of the nonbasics, Lotus Field is the only one that's vital. Without Mirrorpool, Castle Garenbrig, Emergence Zone, and Guildless Commons its already very close. Cavalier of Thorns is about as good as Cavalier of Gales in this deck. Omni-Changeling can come in for Wall of Stolen Identity (in fact I'm about to add it regardless). Lastly Alchemist's Refuge and Wilderness Reclamation can be taken out for basics if it's still over $100.

This looks like a fun idea. Since Mana Crypt isn't legal in Commander, d'you think Thought Vessel would be an adequate replacement for this deck?

The original commander was Thada Adel, Acquisitor. The name was always this, though.
My Feldon deck also has an FFVI reference in the name: Magitek Machinations (Feldon Dragons)

@artcwolf22 I had looked at Galvanic Discharge during the build but had to turn it down. Is there a certain printing I may have missed that you’re suggesting? The one in the comment can’t be included.

Welcome to the club, ClassySquidze!
My first thought here is to pick a direction. You mention Treasures, creature theft, discard, and crimes as themes. The theft and crimes pair nicely together, and the (targeted) discard and crimes, but the discard and theft are kind of competing with each other, and Treasure is more of a utility effect here than a focus, aside from Revel in Riches.
Some cards here don't really seem to fit any theme. Exsanguinate is a good finisher is you can dump lots of mana into it, but it doesn't steal or target anything. Blinding Powder doesn't really support anything either. Thieving Varmint interacts with only a couple of other cards, that let you cast opponents' cards. The discard effects seem like part of a general control/tempo package, instead of a theme by itself.
I think the best approach is to focus on one theme, or two if they overlap enough. Kaervek, the Punisher can string together black cards that target something into a full-on crime wave. The Treasure theme might fit better as a separate deck. At Knifepoint would be another crime payoff. Insurrection and Rise of the Dark Realms aren't bad, but they're 7+ mana, don't target, and are kind of reliant on what the opponent's playing. Maybe focus on discard + crime or theft + crime.

@DragonMaster420 Fundamentally no, but not here. I’m fairly pleased with how this one performs as it is and don’t want to tinker with it too much. That said, I wouldn’t mind building a variation that included . What’s on your mind?

Unbound Flourishing. the tron lands don't really fit in this deck. you wouldn't be able to get the tron lands online plus a rosheen on field until turn 5. it'd be better to use things like Arbor Elf and Utopia Sprawl to ramp.

@kamarupa It’s great for grabbing a Death's Shadow but I prefer the more controlled method of bringing down my HP through fetchlands, Thoughtseize etc. I’ll maybeboard it but I didnt have much luck with Spoils of the Vault in testing.

Welcome to deckbuilding. I’m going to guess from the card count (100 total, all 1-of’s) that this is probably intended to be a Commander/EDH deck? If true, you can designate it as such in the Edit Deck screen as well as list your commander front and center.
Sadly, that’s about all the help I can give. I stick to 60 card formats (Modern, Legacy, Pauper etc) so I don’t have any insights to offer.
Loowiz on Phyrexian Nightmare

I just did some simulations on your idea. I'd need 3 cards for that turn-1 combo: Dark Ritual, Phyrexian Dreadnought and Illusionary Mask or Eldrazi Mimic.
After doing a quick math, I calculated the probability of getting the combo:
5.44% at 0 mulligans
8.21% at 1 mulligan
9.34% at 2 mulligans
9.63% at 3 mulligans
If I really wanted to go that route, I'd replace 4 Island with 4 Darkslick Shores. That would make the numbers go:
6.33% 0 mulligans
9.72% 1 mulligan
11.13% 2 mulligans
11.49% 3 mulligans
And that's not a win the game combo, it can still be completely destroyed by a single well-timed removal spell. I think it's safer to guarantee a turn 3-4 Phyrexian Dreadnought (plus a couple of creatures that become a copy of it), than to risk it all on an explosive turn.
Loowiz on Phyrexian Nightmare

Thanks for the feedback and the idea, DreadKhan! I considered including Dark Ritual, since both Illusionary Mask and Eldrazi Mimic can enable a turn-1 Phyrexian Dreadnought. That would make the deck more prone to aggressive mulligans, but it’s a double-edged sword. The only reason the deck runs black is to cast Lazav, the Multifarious and, situationally, Unearth (to be honest, the deck is mostly mono-blue at this point). I think it’s a very valid strategy—perhaps cutting Standstill, Unearth, and two Trickbind for a set of Dark Ritual? Tezzeret also loses some value if we’re aiming for an explosive start, though if Phyrexian Dreadnought isn’t found after mulligans, the game is essentially lost.

Good point. But Boggart Birth Rite can return Warren Weirding and Nameless Inversion, so it's more universal.

Here's a two years late answer (just getting back into Magic), but Sands of Time will prevent any permanents from phasing back in due to a lack of Untap phase. The deck aims to lock down the opponent and then win through Misers' Cage, Suq'Ata Firewalker, or, failing all of that, mill.

While I appreciate the use of an obscure card like war barge, it does seem far too mana inefficient to use.

mtgApprentice21, just so you know, I have transitioned over to Moxfield for posting my decks online. Two reasons: 1, I do not believe Tappedout decks appear on EDHrec; and 2, I like their UI a lot better.
Most of my decks are not there, because I have actually disassembled many of them for redesigning, but if you want to see up-to-date versions of the decks I do have active currently, that's the place to look.

jonjonhholt oh I like the idea of Oliphaunt and Dwarven Mine! I was wondering how else we could tinker with this deck! Sick, I shall experiment haha. And do you run less then 16 lands? I'll have to peak your list if you have it on here haha. And yeah I'd like to run a couple more dredgers, Golgari Brownscale is a pet card of mine, but am having trouble finding space, I could cut the Fiery Temper but I'm rather partial to them and having some removal so I'm not sure lol. Thanks for the suggestions! I've got some tinkerin to do now lol.

DragonMaster420, just to tag on as someone who has played a lot of this deck, i dont even run the Conduit Pylons. I get the desire to hard cast cards like snacker but adding the necessary support for that reduces the decks consistency, which is one of its strong suits imo. The deck is actually really good at getting in chip damage with Masked Meower, Molten Gatekeeper, etc so usually you dont need to deal all 20 with the giant but I think you would be surprised how easy it is to get 20 creatures in the gy with stinkweed imp. Also I would say <5% of games I actually run into scenarios where I want to be hard-casting the black cards in the deck. And if you look at the versions of red dredge that are going 5-0 in mtgo pauper leagues they are almost all mono-red
Murrow i like this list, personally I enjoy running 5-6 dredge cards, obviously nothing comes close to Stinkweed Imp but Golgari Brownscale gives you some lifegain where as Greater Mossdog gives you an extra dredge compared to the brownscale. Also, I like running 4 Oliphaunt in place of some of the mountains for a higher creature count to help Lotleth Giant hit harder. Plus you can sneak in a single copy of Dwarven Mine thats tutorable with the Oliphaunt for an extra body to sac to Dread Return but that definitely isnt vital
