I am moving away from counterspells that can't target creatures. I left in Dovin's Veto only because it can't be countered. If there were more counterspells that countered all spells and only cost 2 or less, I would add them. I own an original Legends Mana Drain and it's in my Oloro deck now. I had to make a choice with Rest in Peace. I decided to cut it because I wanted to be able to return cards out of my graveyard. I didn't like the graveyard exiling version of this deck so I reverted it and improved the win conditions. I don't currently run enough enchantments for Hall of Heliod's Generosity to be useful. As long as I am able to keep Soldevi Digger and Planar Portal in play, I can return ANY type of card from my graveyard back to my hand. Academy Ruins makes sure that can happen as often as needed. We will always disagree with Reflecting Pool. I cannot afford to draw it in my opening hand as my only land in this deck. It's an instant mulligan. I considered every single land currently printed in magic that can tap for any color. I decided against Glimmervoid and a few others a long time ago. I don't want artifact removal also destroying my land. It's not a good plan. Archway of Innovation is a great land for heavy artifact decks but not for this deck. Most of my artifacts tap for more mana than I would get from using it or have other abilities and need to be untapped to use. The only other card I'm still debating on adding is Isochron Scepter. I may still cut something for it. Run a few playtests with this so you can really see why I made the choices I did. You'll understand more then. Also, I'm preparing to make a different version of this deck with Sivitri, Dragon Master as the commander.

Neat. Your oldest deck, unplayed and full of creatures!

This deck needs a couple of Dredge cards. Urborg and Yavimaya as well.

I don't like Jester's Cap here because you have no way of reusing it and {B} does it more effectively.

Planar Portal seems awkward in {B}. Diabolic Intent seems appropriate with this strategy.

Nether Spirit is a unique card. It's perfect in your creatureless strategy but it's going to fail here. Back in the day MBC utilized it with Contamination. I would cut one for the other.

Pernicious Deed Golgari staple for a reason.

I ALMOST forgot an addition that in my opinion, should be in every walker deck: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain.

Any power increase just lets you put more and more expensive card FROM your deck onto the battlefield. WUBRG on her also means alt Commander option too. He effect is pretty self explanatory of why in walker decks, she is a tutoring EDH dreamboat. Cheaper than Planar Bridge and Planar Portal and superior to most other tutors for Legendary things. AND Reusable during the same turn.

This is a solid first EDH deck! Straight forward combo.

Retraced Image would act as ramp with that many basic lands.

Back to Basics a hefty tax that you don't have to pay.

Planar Portal the only tutor you are missing.

Have you considered Emergence Zone, Crystal Vein, City of Traitors or Urza's Saga for your land base? A few Tutors and choice card draw pieces like Ring of Three Wishes, The One Ring, Planar Bridge, Planar Portal & Citanul Flute could help you quickly outvalue your opponents with your Commander's ability, as could Ramp pieces like Ashnod's Altar & Doubling Cube. Portal to Phyrexia & Grimoire of the Dead could potentially win some games here as well, depending on the pod!

It is solid. I am yet to venture down the colorless path but I keep seeing more decks posted. Zhulodok, Void Gorger is the push I needed to try it out.

Only card I don't like is Sisay's Ring. Voltaic Key would be more value for less and would look right alongside all those Vintage mana rocks.

Or Planar Portal / Ring of Three Wishes, which are more expensive but probably less risk of possibly getting it exiled. Tamiyo's Journal could work but it would take some time to build enough clue tokens.

Thanks Zyndro_. I had missed/forgot that Sunforger instant only! I guess I'll have to use Chance for Glory, too bad I won't have redundancy though. I guess I could use Tamiyo's Journal and/or Planar Portal to find one of the sorcery options, but that seems, slow. Journal seems like the better of the two but I don't think it is the way to go, at least not without a Clue package.
