AzureMage I did some initial testing against AI in Xmage and it ran very very well, all went as planned.

But once I got into some real world decks it was a different story. One is my buddies Kalitas wants FOOD and the other I played last night on MTGO against a G/U deck with Harbinger of the Tides, Bounding Krasis and a number of two cost removal/bounce/counter spells. It didnt stand a chance against either of those decks unfortunately.

After these two decks its easy to say creature removal is an achilles heel to the deck. The other main issue is getting early game going. Currently I have a 26% chance to have a creature out Turn 1 and 51% chance to have a creature out turn 2, which is pivotal to get ingest off early. The disrupt in my decks tempo really just throws it off and I cant scale into late game well at all.

This thing is super cheap and I love to try and create an effective deck thats very affordable, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the interest!
