HUGE Revamp —March 15, 2017

I decided to drop green and make this less janky and less singleton. I added more draw and burn, in the forms of Shock, Anticipate, and Fevered Visions. Also, I dropped Geistblast since it was too slow and useless and picked up 1 Dynavolt Tower for now. Metallurgic Summonings is fantastic and pairs great with Rise from the Tides.

I echo blasphemale's comments, it's pretty atypical to see so many singletons in a standard deck, but that's awesome it's working for you! I think you could go a few different directions with what you have. If you're splashing green, it might not hurt to include some spells to get you lands quicker so you can start pumping out tokens with your docent quicker. You could also add in 1 or 2 more mirrorwing dragons and include some cheap pump spells to have a formidable horde of 3/2 horrors. Anyway, cool deck, I'm interested to see where you take it once you get more cards.

Thanks for the tips! My budget is pretty limited to what I get in boosters and cards under $5 I can get from my store. Some of the more expensive cards I have gotten from trades, but I am trying to get duplicate of a bunch of cards. Honestly, the Mirrorwing Dragon is pretty good but I will definitely need to get more buff spells since it's main focus is to prevent people form removing it and to buff my tokens. I have had a pretty sick combo with Mirrorwing Dragon, Otherworldly Outburst, Emrakul's Evangel, and humans from Hanweir Garrison. I have a list of green land cards I have been meaning to get so when I go back to my store I will pick a few up and add them here. My mana base is constantly changing to fit my needs, since I am adding cards and taking some out. I find it hard to keep it at 60, but some cards I sideboard in case of certain decks. At one point, I had more than double the Forests I have now, with the same amount of green cards, so it was pretty inefficient.

I actually kind of find the fact that you run almost a 1-of everything is weird but also cool at the same time. Also maybe change your deck size to 60 instead of being 63...Honestly, when I first looked at this deck I was like....What is this? but if it works, then great!! Also love that its only $28.45...that's what I call budget! Keep up the great work The_Grape!

Thanks for the compliment! These are just with the cards I have now, as I get more I will add them to reduce my singletons. I plan on taking out Mirrorwing Dragon and Woodcutter's Grit and maybe switching out 1 of my Hanweir Battlements with Hanweir Garrison for the tokens since I have enough land in my deck at this point. I am looking for more Thing in the Ice  Flip since it is fantastic board clear and I normally have a bunch of horrors out at that point. I might switch out Byway Courier as well for more copies of cards like Galvanic Bombardment and Bedlam Reveler.

This deck is basically a big middle-finger to Lost Legacy and I love it just for that. I'm curious about the Coax from the Blind Eternities in the sideboard though since in a tournament or FNM the ruling only gives you access to your sideboard for out of game cards.

Yea I am going to take that out. I had emerge eldrazi in sideboard when I had some emerge buffers in my mainboard but they proved useless.

Looks awesome. I was also going to mention it being singleton, but if it's not broke don't fix it.

I would defiantly replace Galvanic Bombardment. It's a lot more useful if you run 4x of them. You could replace it with whatever burn spell you have. I would suggest Shock though. It's also 1 mana. But you can target a player or creature unlike bombardment.
