Made new formatting for my panels!

Got around to making my budget list:Budget Bad Luck Brion! Check it out for budget suggestions!

Haven't been playing too much, very busy and I have a new deck I'm working on. Still, thinking about some changes, especially taking out Gamble because I realize... it sucks. Thanks all!

Why would you want to cast her then? As long as you transform her in the turn she comes into play, you keep all the creatures.

Watch out for Blind Obedience like cards. They might end up screwing with your cards.

Some artifact/enchantment destruction might be good.

Wear / Tear or Orim's Thunder could be good additions

Shatterstorm or Vandalblast to really wipe out the artifacts.

PartyJ well, if I understand Archangel Avacyn  Flip correctly, she can't flip the same turn she comes in unless it's before your upkeep, thus, the untap step. She gives my creatures indestructible "until end of turn" and only transforms "at the beginning of the next upkeep" so I'm confused. maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

Zimmers_0, hoardofnotions, bushido_man96: yeah I've been putting off artifact and enchantment removal for a while now haha! Return to Dust is on my to-buy list and Vandalblast has been in the sideboard for a while. It's just hard cutting stuff that I want for stuff I need :(

Well, you don't necessarily have to "cut" anything. If you think someone is going to play with some heavy artifact deck, slide them in for something else for that game.

First off, sorry for the delayed response. Now onto the decklist. On the wholeThe deck feels solid. The main thing though that stands out is that you have some situational cards which feel dead outside of their niche roles.

For example, you have a slew of equipment but only 24 creatures. But then you're running Masterwork of Ingenuity but not enough big impact equipment to capitalise on it. Same goes for Sculpting Steel. A Stoneforge Mystic would fit this role much better, as you also get a body to throw.

Instead of running buff spells, you could replace them with a single Dragon Throne of Tarkir which will get you much more bang for buck with your small creatures.

As I mentioned though, on the whole the list looks good. It's just about identifying cards which serve more niche roles compared with cards which may not be as good sometimes as compared to cards which are usually solid.

I hope this helps a bit.

isn't Cosmic Larva kinda worse than Impetuous Devils? With the devils you have haste, trample and a pseudo removal spell?

enpc Thanks for looking at it! Appreciate your time!

Now, I see what your saying, but I think Masterwork of Ingenuity and Sculpting Steel so more than you give them credit for. Masterwork, for the low cost of 1 mana, can copy any of my haste enablers or card draw equipments, or my opponent's if they get theirs out first. It's just too efficient at what it does. Sculting steel is can do all that, but it can also copy mana rocks, Mimic Vat, and most importantly, my win cons, Phyrexian Devourer and Phyrexian Processor.

Also I have my meta, which has Nahiri, the Lithomancer and Zurgo Helmsmasher equipment/voltron, so I usually have stuff to copy.

Yeah Stoneforge Mystic is on the list of upgrades :)

Dragon Throne of Tarkir is sweet but I don't have many creatures to attach it to, and it takes 9 mana total to get going.

Thanks again for commenting! I value all input!

hoardofnotions welcome back friend! I guess it kinda is. the cost:power ratio is better but its only truly better if I can give it haste. I'll take another look at the devils, I think I just took them out because I never played them and wanted to try other stuff more haha
