Would that I could, Camel-Senpai, but I want to keep this deck Standard legal.

Argeaux,
Bad beats.

Some options for your manabase: Inventors' Fair, Ruins of Oran-Rief, and Sequestered Stash.

clayperce I LOVE the Land suggestions.

It's just that I'm a very uncomplicated Magic player and I find those Lands kind of ... fussy.

Wastes are more my style.

Play a Wastes, tap it for .

Simple.

Argeaux,
Maybe some foil Wastes in the sideboard then?

You know, for the mirror.

Ah, GREAT idea!

I might try one in the Maybeboard first.

Test with it a bit before I commit.

It's simple, basic, and could go very far in Standard

Maybe take 2 Constructs out for 2 foil Eager Construct, could be enough to get this deck over the top

Wait wait wait wait. Are you using full art Wastes?! That takes away from the real catch of the deck... Eager Construct! You need to get the non-full art Wastes from the intro decks. They will be less distracting.

haha that was great +1 for that win.

You know Reaxetion I think you may have isolated the reason that this deck has not been winning as much as it should.

Full art Wastes.

Of COURSE!! How is Eager Construct to shine when everybody is looking at those full art Wastes?

I own the Intro deck that was , with all those non-full art Wastes. My friend was wetting himself over it as it was the first "mono-coloured" Intro deck we'd ever seen.

I will get all those non-full art Wastes into this deck right now.

Good pick up.

Outstanding work. Have you thought perhaps of foiling out the constructs? I know that can get a bit pricey, but I think it would be more than worth it.

L0stinExile you'll notice that I am considering an Eager Construct in my Maybeboard.

My concern with Foiling the complete set of Eager Constructs would be how OP that would be.

My Opponents are having a tough enough time when they see me lay down an Eager Construct on the field, as it is.

I just think they might concede if they saw an Eager Construct hit the table, and that would be no fun for anyone.

I just priced some Wastes and HOLY HELL!!

Those things are AU$12.

Who would have thought?

It's probably because they have some bizarre (well, to a Yank, anyways) Australian spelling ...

MOAR Island

FierceTierce I did not want to steal any thunder from Islands.

clayperce you mean to tell me that we are the only ones who call them Wastes?

What does the rest of the world call them.

Wayssstes?

Oh, I have no idea. Maybe Dusts (based on UK dustbins vs. US wastebaskets)? It just seems like with WOTC printing cards in all sorts of foreign languages now, they should print cards in English as well as American. So we could special-order Artefact Creatures, for example. ;-)

i think you need to make a commander deck version of this.

December 16, 2016 10:10 p.m.

He can be your general in Pauper Commander

Argy says... #21

N3ALG and Simon_Williamson that is an AWESOME idea.

If I did that I would proxy up some non-full art Dusts on some old Foil cards.

(There ya go, clayperce.)

Maybe I should order a Foil Eager Construct now, in readiness.

Oh great, was starting to feel like the format wasn't yet as solved as it seems and someone comes along and breaks it. I just got out of collected company standard, now I have to deal with eager construct? ):<

December 17, 2016 12:32 p.m.

Collected Company with The Meta would be so broken! Instant speed drop two 2/2's and everyone scry's 1 twice! Which sets up your next company!!

I have used all the suggestions in these Comments to make a more competitive version of this deck.
