Hey there! Welcome to the great world of magic: the gathering!

A tip when building decks is to find a general theme and build around that in order to create a more focused deck. You seem to have some cards that synergize with each other, such as some ramp (add extra lands into play) and landfall in the deck.

For example: Ondu Giant works great with Baloth Woodcrasher and Aerial Guide helps the powered-up creature break through the opponents defenses by giving it evasion (in this case flying). Cards such as Aven Reedstalker does not synergize well with that landfall theme. You might want to consider Evolving Wilds in order to get two landfall triggers in one turn, or Rampant Growth -like cards for that extra ramp and landfall-trigger value.

Secondly, do you know what format you'd like to play in (are you looking at playing casual/kitchen-table magic, standard, modern etc.)? Depending on your choice, there will be different options available to you in terms of card-choice, since the card pool differs greatly between the different formats.

I apologize if this post is somewhat confusing, but I think the most important thing to consider when building decks are:

  1. What format to play
  2. What theme/mechanic/gimmick do you want to build around
  3. Is the deck fun to play for you

Thanks, razelfark for the feedback. I originally had Glorybringer in the deck but I was trying the make it budget friendly.

As for the Aven Reedstalker, it was the the best four drop with flying that I saw.

Interesting deck idea you have going on. I am not to sure about Aven Reedstalker.

A great flier that you might have over looked: Glorybringer. Strong fling/haste creature with an ability that can be activated to remove threats on board seems like a solid fit in this deck.

If your opponent has no creatures, and you have no creatures, how do you plan on winning, exactly? General curiosity, more than anything.

And I understand that The Scarab God is your focal point, but you have no support for it.

Torrential Gearhulk builds work because they don't really need him to be alive.

Creatures being "anti control" isn't true, either. Having a handful of destroy and counter spells in your hand is only good if the opponent has things worth killing and countering.

I'd consider adding Cryptbreaker, or Liliana's Mastery. If you don't want that, Aven Reedstalker isn't great, but it is a blue flash creature, and is a nice defender for Liliana.

This deck would get trounced at an FNM, even against lower tier decks just because you have no supports.
