I want to invest a bit in making this deck better. There is one thing though (I just starting playing recently): I would only like to add in cards from M13 atm since I only have that set. I was thinking of adding in Sunpetal Grove and maybe max out the thragtusks and add in 1 Yeva's nature herald ? Any other ideas ? I know its not optimal to not want to add in other sets, but this will have to do. Already spent quite a bit of money to get my playset of M13 going.



60 cards

12  Forest
Plains
Razorverge Thicket

22 lands

Acidic Slime
Arbor Elf
Attended Knight
Avacyn's Pilgrim
Blade Splicer
Borderland Ranger
Brutalizer Exarch
Elvish Visionary
Fiend Hunter
Geist-Honored Monk
Glimmerpoint Stag
Llanowar Elves
Mwonvuli Beast Tracker
Roaring Primadox
Stingerfling Spider
Stonehorn Dignitary
Sunblast Angel
Thragtusk

33 creatures
Green Sun's Zenith
Lead the Stampede

5 other spells



Sideboard


Cloudshift
Dismember
Kemba's Skyguard
Oblivion Ring
War Priest of Thune

15 sideboard cards

To get repeat performances you should have 4 ofs. 1 ofs is like playing roulette

He he, repeat performances for the repeat performance deck... he he.

No seriously I think he knows that, he just wants to know what direction to take event deck without making it worse. It's a little hard to do that though since some of the best cards in the deck will be rotating out soon. GSZ, Razorverge Thicket, Blade Splicer, Llanowar Elves, ect..

My question to the OP is, do you want this for standard constructed play (ie take it to FNM and such) or no?

Yes I would like to make it my first FNM deck for standard. I know I should get 4ofs but I was wondering what you would switch for what ?

Oh, hah. I was unaware the actual event deck was called Repeat performance. How ironic how little it can repeat it's performances.

I bought the same deck, and kind of have the same question.
Btw, I started by cutting the Brutalizer Exarch .

A) Play a singleton deck.
B) You need at least one Phylactery Lich and some card with the creature type Sphinx.
C) You also want at least three different dragons, two angels and a darkly handsome magician. Jace , Jace of Jace is a good pick for the last one.
D) Spike and/or dye your hair, and dress like a ten-year-old would-be street punk. Chains are a must.
E) Develop egyptian-god-level blind-topdeck powers.
F) Discuss your strategy at length with your opponent, in the middle of the match, preferably right after declaring the beginning of the combat step.
G) ???
H) Profit.

I changed mine up a bit to this, although it does use some cards from other sets.


Spells:
3 x Cloudshift
1 x Green Sun's Zenith
2 x Oblivion Ring
2 x Prey Upon
3 x Lead the Stampede 

Creatures:
1 x Fiend Hunter
1 x Sunblast Angel
1 x Geist-Honored Monk
1 x Blade Splicer
1 x Restoration Angel
1 x Primeval Titan
2 x Sun Titan
2 x Thragtusk
2 x Deadly Recluse 
3 x Roaring Primadox
3 x Avacyn's Pilgrim
3 x Birds of Paradise
3 x Llanowar Elves
3 x Acidic Slime 
Land:
1 x Gavony Township
1 x Sunpetal Grove
2 x Razorverge Thicket
8 x Plains
10 x Forest


You could look in to some birds, I hear there is strong suspicion that they are being reprinted in Ravnica. Besides that, Acidic Slimes I find good for disrupting the mana base of an opponent. Thragtusk is a great card and I'm thinking about adding in more. Unfortunately your choices are a bit limited if you are just using M13, but since you say you want to play standard, maybe look in to the Avacyn block too?

I'd definitely suggest 4x Sunpetal Grove , probably main board Prey Upon and Oblivion Ring as well. I threw the cloud shifts in to my main to flicker titans, or slimes, or anything with a good entry ability

I just brought the deck to add into my Pod deck. For short term help, Birthing Pod, Mimic Vat, more Splicers, more Thragtusk, Phyrexian Metamorph, 2 more Ravorverge, 4 Sunpetal, 

Long Term; Restoration Angel and Cloudshift. Thragtusk, Acidic Slime, Attended Knight (Post Rotation Only), Elvish Visionary,  Fiend Hiunter, Silklash Spider (Delver Hate). There isn't a whole lot that I like for this sort Post Rotation.
