Arena
Land
, : Tap target creature you control and target creature of an opponent's choice he or she controls. Those creatures fight each other. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

This looks fun! I don't even remember Provoke, but I wholeheartedly approve of building around an obscure old ability! Too bad Arena
would be pretty much useless in this deck because it would be very flavourful.

vic: Sorry, I thought you were still asking about normal fight effects, not Arena's specific behavior. But now it seems like we need to clarify what happens when you make a copy of a spell or ability.
Making a copy of a spell or ability on the stack creates an exact copy that accounts for any choices made during the casting process, including modes, targets, distribution of counters/damage and other such things. This is why every spell/ability copying effect will allow you to choose new targets for the copies (Doublecast, Illusionist's Bracers, etc.) or will tell you something specific about what to do with the targets for the copies (Radiate, Ink-Treader Nephilim, etc.), otherwise copy effects wouldn't be half as useful or interesting. There are no Ink-Treader style effects in the game that can copy a spell/ability with more than one target, meaning you would be using an effect that allows you to choose new targets for the copies. Your opponent wouldn't get a say in it.
To the bigger question you might be asking about what happens when different players need to make choices about something simultaneously: first the active player makes their choices and then the non-active player makes their choices. If there are more than 2 players in the game, then it starts with the active player and goes around the table in turn order. But if your Ink-Treader Nephilim makes a bunch of copies of something, you're the only one who will be making decisions for the order that the copies go onto the stack because you control them all.

Rhadamanthus I overlooked that part. I guess that was a bad example. Well let's suppose some day they make an instant or sorcery that does what Arena does (I don't know of one currently), but not necessarily with the tapping part. Point being that I am only targeting the Nephilim with my spell. Now what happens?
Remember, my main focus is on how priority works in terms of the following:
Which way would it go?
A) All of my creatures get it in the order I choose, then all my opponent's creatures get it in the order he chooses.
B) One of my creatures is targeted, then one of his, then one of mine, then one of his, etc.

Profet93 I know I said my initial plans is to keep this deck on a certain budget but I haven't been following that since then. The only restriction I have now is the mana positive rocks that are banned from the tier that I'm playing this on. So, yeah Cavern of Souls is the definitely a land I need to include.
I don't know about High Market but Miren, the Moaning Well sure is a handy one-- I'll add it to my buylist. Also, I'm considering Arena. What do you think about it?

I think you need to get rid of the Broken Bond cards and replace with more fight. also missing Scheming Symmetry as the easiest tutor. I like Culling the Weak a little better than D ritual, as you can put a 1 mana scrub like an elf or Ulvenwald Tracker out there and sac him to get your big dude, but ritual is good too..
I mean really, why not just throw a couple old skool Lure in there, Alluring Scent, Revenge of the Hunted, Shinen of Life's Roar, etc..
Arena, though I think it is generally a bad card might actually be decent considering your build is around PO.
Also you maybne think of one card draw engine. Like Phyrexian Arena, etc..

This is the best I could come up with. Bring to Light is a little awkward game 1, but in games 2/3 when I can find a silver bullet of some kind, it is much better. I wish it worked with Mosswort Bridge, but we can't have everything. I ended up cutting Karn's Sylex + Chalice of the Void to make space for the "Bring to Light silver bullets" as they were my two weakest links in the sideboard.
Surprisingly, with Threats Undetected I've found myself going for:
Elvish Reclaimer
Omnath, Locus of Creation
Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
Primeval Titan
instead of Cultivator Colossus in a lot of situations, since Elvish Reclaimer almost always manafixes me into Omnath, Locus of Creation with something like Boros Garrison when I know they are going to avoid Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Primeval Titan.
Honestly, I think I am trying to accomplish too much and should pick Bring to Light or Threats Undetected to run, but I like the idea of both and they have decent enough synergy with the other cards I need to include.
I did come up with some other "options" for Bring to Light, the best of which is The Gitrog Monster, followed closely by Nicol Bolas, the Ravager Flip (Phyrexian Obliterator + Arena or sneaky tech like Sower of Temptation being honorable mentions).
I'm a little lighter on basic Forests than I would like, so I'll probably end up cutting something to add them back in a little, as 2 is the bare minimum I am comfortable with.
I think Omnath, Locus of Creation with Threats Undetected or The Gitrog Monster with Bring to Light is the correct answer, but I'm going to keep trying to squeeze in both paths for now.
