FOILED —Dec. 7, 2015
I found out that some of my friends pitched money together to buy me this deck as a gift... ALL FOILED. With Foil Zendikar lands and everything!
So excited to finally play this deck and test it all out against my friends! And blind them in the process. :D
This looks pretty fun. What about Eidolon of the Great Revel ?

Oh, yes! That guy would work very nicely! I haven't updated this in awhile, and totally forgot to look at the JOU cards for this deck. Thanks for the suggestion, casey! :D

Maybe consider War's Toll . Combo-ing that with Manabarbs can be ridiculously mean if they don't want to waste their life.

Hmm.. I'll have to think on the War's Toll ; I want the opponent's to tap their mana to damage them, but the control aspect of forcing them to tap all their mana or lose the ability to seems pretty awesome. Thanks for the suggestion, Lisforlucifer!
And thanks for the compliment and +1, Tacoyeti33! :)

Awesome deck!! +1
You might wanna add Purity , Mana Barbs triggers it so tapping lands gives you life instead :L

@usohatchi: Purity would be a really interesting variant, but I think it would be too slow; it's double the CMC of Personal Sanctuary , granted it's effect its doubly better, and I want to stop the bleeding early. If I have both in the deck, then Personal Sanctuary would cancel out the Manabarbs + Purity combo. I'll think about it though, but I don't know if I'm feeling it.. Thanks for the comment, though!

Hey, glad to see my suggestion worked out prior. Looking a bit more (this looks like fun, and it's funny), any reason you would have a 2/2 split of Ghostly Prison and Sphere of Safety ? Seems like Ghostly Prison would be a better option, since you really need to slow them down early. Also, Blood Moon seems like it might be a decent piece of sideboard tech. Still looks fun though!

Oh, and Oppressive Rays could also be good for some laughs in there as well. Well, laughs on your part, perhaps not so much your opponent haha. Though I would laugh if I was playing against this deck.

I have the 2 Spheres in there to completely lock out the opponent if things go late; since the combo is pretty much all enchantments, it's easy to have more than 2 enchantments (the feeling of having a Ghostly Prison out), especially with your prior suggestion of the Eidolon. :) But I see what you are saying.. Maybe it should be a 3-1 split?
Also, Blood Moon would probably be a good sideboard option; however, I don't know if I would prefer that to Burning Earth .
As for Oppressive Rays , I will definitely consider it. It would fit the theme more than a Pithing Needle would; it's unfortunate I cant target walkers with it though. :( Thanks again for your suggestions, casey!

Hey, I would love to know what cards you'd include in the deck if you weren't trying to stick to modern! I'm trying to make a non-modern casual multiplayer deck out of this, I added 4x Power Surge, but have no idea what else to add and take out. Any ideas?

If you were going for a casual version of this deck, I think Sulfuric Vortex
would be a must :)
Glad I could help with some inspiration!

I've considered cards like Dictate and Furnace of Rath, but I don't what I would replace for them. I like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight to fulfill that role, honestly. Just because she's awesome. ;)

Yay for Manabarbs! I play a similar deck (though creatureless and, I have to say, a bit more of a friend-loser then this one) and you should definitely put in Idyllic Tutor and Blood Moon. The Tutor gets Manabarbs if you have an Personal Sanctuary and vice versa. The Blood Moon fits the enchantment theme (I'm surprised that that's not one of your hubs) and helps you since you have almost no basics.

I've ran Manabarbs before in a deck but I also paired it up with Purity Which allows you to tap your lands all you want and gain life as opposed to losing it. It may be something you'd like to look into.

Yeah, Purity was suggested before. The 6CMC just scares me; I mean, I could run it in addition to Personal Sanctuary, but it seems really slow. However, since it's the second time it has been suggested, I'll start considering it! Thanks, magnusactor!

I took a little bit less of a budget spin on the deck, I think it could do quite well Personal Sanc

The reprint of Battlefield Forge will definitely allow me to easily add it into the deck now :)
