Why didn't you make this a block constructed deck instead of modern?

Because I didn't want to.

Haha fair enough.

i think Chief Engineer would shine in this deck

I don't think it would work well in this deck. Tapping my creatures for mana would leave me exposed to attacks which are a bigger deal when your deck runs on paying life for quick playing. I'll try it out for a little while and see how it works in the deck.

I tested it and I didn't like to use the Convoke ability

ok...maybe Mutagenic Growth

I'll Sideboard it.

I cast an overloaded Vandalblast. What do you do?

Wait, this is the Scars of Mirrodin block. So I cast Creeping Corrosion. Now what?

i lose
