you do realise the redundancy of a budget list on a site using a 100% free program don't you?

Sorry to say this, but you're never ever going to be able to cast your beloved sky swallower with that mana base. UB does not equal UG.

ROFLMAO.... OMFG.... That was so funny I might piss myself. Seriously... I'm not kidding. Very Happy

As for the deck, ever heard of Mortify? That would surely ruin your day. And I could cast it with mostly YOUR mana. >.<

I am not using a free program, I am using cards I have available. The idea of posting it on here is to get ideas on how to improve it.

Also, every test so far has run it perfectly fine for mana, but if you can think of ways to improve it, then by all means.

I am aware of cards like Mortify and I have been trying to come up with ideas on how to get around it. One way I am looking at is adding Nightmare Voids and Wizened Snitches to keep an eye on what my opponent has in hand. I am hunting for T2 cards that would allow me to keep an eye on what my opponent has at all times.

Any ideas?

Edit - It's amazing you people keep any newbies at all, since apparently all you do is insult their ideas instead of trying to help improve the decks.

i'm sorry, the conclusion reached in the MTG.com deck was zur's weirding, it is cheap for a rare, it lets you see when it's safe for sky swallower, stops your opponent top-decking removal, doesn't care whos control it is under, and generally kicks arse.

Bingo, and when I get my hands on some, you better believe I'll use them, however I am playing with what I have, and that I do not have.
