How about a deck based around Curse of the Pierced Heart and Curse of Bloodletting ?




Here you go!

Land:
10 x Mountain
10 x Plains
4 x Evolving Wilds
 
Creatures:
4 x Mesa Enchantress
4 x Totem-guide Hartebeest

Enchantments:
4 x Oblivion Ring
4 x Curse of Exhaustion
4 x Curse of Bloodletting
4 x Furnace of Rath
4 x Pacifism
4 x Journey to Nowhere
4 x Prison Term



This looks like a pretty interesting lockdown deck, but how does it win?



Crap! I forgot Curse of the Pierced Heart! Crap!

-1 Journey -1 Prison Term -1Furnace -1 Curse og Bloodletting
+4 Curse of the Pierced Heart

There!

I would have killed, literally ended someones life, to NOT have Arrogant Bloodlord riding a giant ant...

Lord_Zed:   
I was at my friends house when this happened. He's married and his wife was an excellent baker. She had baked a homemade apple pie the night before.

I was hungry, and my friend convinced me to try those low carb monster drinks. Before this day, I had never triend energy drinks before.

Boy was I in for a treat.

When I tried that first monster, I really enjoyed the flavor, but the taste that it left in my mouth wasn't so good. What was my solution? Drink another!

before I could finish drinking that 2nd monster, I felt it already kicking in(these drinks were not very far apart, we're talking minutes here) my friend decided that it was a good idea to whip out that fresh pie his wife made the night before. I didn't know what to do, since I felt incredibly invigorated, and at the same time, freaked out by the rush I was feeling, but I was also hungry, and my friend have me an entire plate with a fork and said "help yourself." He extended his saucer to me, and I cut him a piece of the pie and handed it to him, then I looked at the pie, noticed that the pie was in an aluminum holder, and dumped the entire pie onto my plate and started eating it with 2 forks. I don't know where I found that other fork, it probably came from my friend. Anyhow, his wife wasn't happy, and I was already in magical christmas land. 2 days later, I was in my friends bed and I slept for 14 hours.

His wife outlawed my from having any of her baked goods for a while(which sucked because I could just show up at there house, steal some sweets, and leave) and said I couldn't have any energy drinks at her house, unless under close watch.

My friend, on the other hand, had to take me out to a steak dinner, because apparently I won a bet where I climbed a tree and didn't die.

The great land debate:

Thanks for the deck but do you have any advice on making that deck list Standard legal as I have only recently got back into Magic?


Sure. Play Izzet, and turn it into a pure control deck. Izzet Keyrune to ramp, a lot of Draw and countermagic. Play the enchantments for the final win. Probably won't be consistant, but it's playable.

I haven't played MTG in quite a while, which means I'm quite out-of-date with the current expansions, so, to remedy this, I though I'd do a $15 deck thing for each of the Ravinca Guilds!


The decks will be Standard legal, and will be built around the Guild, and their mechanics. They should also be roughly equal, in terms of power levels.

Also, if anyone has any $15 or less requests, post them here! 



Selesnya @ $12.95


2 Grove Of The Guardian
4 Selesnya GuildGate
6 Plains
12 Forest


4 Doomed Traveler
4 Vitu-Ghazi GuildMage
4 Attended Knight
4 WayFaring Temple
4 GoldNight Commander


4 Prophetic Prism
4 Druid's Deliverance
4 Gather The TownsFolk
4 Call Of The Conclave


You produce Tokens, and then you Populate!

What do you mean by "Goblin Storm"?
This can't really be done properly for under $15 - as Empty The Warrens and Grapeshot are about $1.00 each (which puts you at $8 before you can even build the rest of the deck). Also, one of the big reasons to run in Storm decks is for draw/cantrips - going mono- means that we need to use less common (and therefore more expensive) options.

Here is what I've come up with:

Goblin Storm @ $25.96

16 Mountain

4 Ornithopter
4 Wild Cantor
4 Akki Rockspeaker


4 Mishra's Bauble
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Faithless Looting
4 Infernal Plunge
4 Pyretic Ritual
4 Spawning Breath
4 GrapeShot
4 Empty The Warrens

More serious playtesting is needed to confirm numbers, but it did function (albeit slowly) in playtesting.
It isn't the most consistent thing in the world either.


Here are the alterations I would make, if this list didn't need to be quite so budget/Modern legal:


Spoiler: Show


- 4 Akki RockSpeaker
+ 4 Burning-Tree Emissary

- 4 Pyretic Ritual
+ 4 Street Wraith

-4 Mishra's Bauble
+ 4 Manamorphose

- 4 Mountain
+ 4 SandStone Needle

Gamble is sometimes run in mono- lists, especially alongside Past In Flames .

Reforge The Soul could be interesting.

4 Boros GuildGate
9 Mountain
9 Plains


4 Boros Elite
4 Cathedral Sanctifier
4 Bomber Corps
4 Wojek Halberdiers
4 SunHome GuildMage
4 Riot Ringleader


4 Prophetic Prism
4 Gather The Townsfolk
4 Thatcher Revolt

Grapeshot is 0.37p, and Empty the Warrens is 0.40p. 

So four of each is about 4 dollars. As Alias said, you don't need four, so you can easily knock that down to 3 dollars.

also, Burning-Tree Emissary over Akki Rockspeaker.
Didn't see you had that in your spoilered list.

*edit*

Come to think of it, you have Priest of Urabrask as well.

Is there some kind of creature storm deck here?

*edit the edit*

If we were to go that route, we have access to Dragon Fodder and Krenko's Command to fuel Battle Hymn , and it gives more fodder (HA) for Infernal Plunge.

Huh.

15 x Mountain

4 x Ornithopter
4 x Wild Cantor
4 x Burning-Tree Emissary

4 x Spawning Breath
4 x Krenko's Command
2 x Dragon Fodder
4 x Gitaxian Probe
3 x Faithless Looting
3 x Dangerous Wager
4 x Battle Hymn
4 x Infernal Plunge

3 x Grapeshot
2 x Empty the Warrens


Has the potential to generate a lot more mana, but is more vulnerable to removal, in a way.
We can sub in Brood Birthing for some of the goblins, as well. A bit more risky, but could give more fuel later in the storm.
