Ha! This deck's hilarious! Some players are so bad at understanding the interactions between stolen creatures. One guy played Dinrova Horror on his own creature! (Under my control)

By the way, this seems minor, but a big thank you Dj for how you organize your decklists. They're all in order of cost and colour as you would see when scrolling through the deck builder, so they're super convenient to build. Applause!

I would actually rather see the deck sorted by curve than by color.

I'm a fan of sorting by color. Dj, maybe you could take an extra minute or two to post the curve at then end of your decklist? I do appreciate that you sort it by color though cuz I like testing out other people's decks since I'm pretty terrible at deck building.

Hehe, and the mono-white one I posted is in alphabetical/cmc order. I'll try keep it in deck builder order in the future and add the curve.

Dude, this deck literally begs for Vapor Snag. Consider synergy with Switcheroo. I'd drop the Elementals, the Elixir and one land and add 4x Snag.

OK, my take on this. Lets add more fun to this already fun deck!

Hose of Lies
Premium Deck

6 x Plains
7 x Island
4 x Mountain
3 x Azorius Guildgate
2 x Izzet Guildgate
2 x Boros Guildgate

4 x Cloudshift
3 x Wall of Omens
4 x Raise the Alarm

4 x Vapor Snag
4 x Think Twice
2 x Talrand, Sky Summoner
3 x Switcheroo
2 x Mercurial Pretender

4 x Act of Treason
4 x Portent of Betrayal

2 x Blasting Station


In other words:
- 2x Roil Elemental
- 2x Quicken
- 1x Elixir of Immortality
- 1x Mountain
+ 2x Mercurial Pretender
+ 4x Vapor Snag

The Pretender together with Treasons/Betrayals sometimes results in hilarity. In the worst case, it can pretend to be a Wall and draw a card.

I understand what you're trying to do with Quickens, make the opponent's creatures fight each other, but it's too conditional IMO.

It's so awesome when it works though. I took out an opponent's big fat Terra Stomper with his own Deathtouch 1/1 snake.

I like them changes. I might implement them, or something similar, later on and give it a try.

Also, Hose of Lies?

I took this deck out for a drive last night and here is the result. Must be a good deck because I won and I'm a horrible player.

This is one of the coolest looking builds I have seen in a while DJ! Gonna take it out for a spin and see how things go.

Interesting build dj ima take it out for a spin myself after devil made it look hella fun

Edit: alright I'm pretty sure I creeped out my kids sitting here with a moronic smile pasted on my mug as I used stolen goods to enact righteous punishment. How do you stem maniacal glee when playing a deck so utterly mean hah

Thanks guys, glad you like it. Especially you devil, never seen anyone else take one of my decks for a spin before.

Ok, hats off for the deck. Amazingly fun, yet part of me wishes It didn't exist.

Love the Quicken into Act of Treason stuff. But, the whole Act or Portent into Cloudshift. no no no. lol
I feel bad inside when I used it, and the 5 matches I had 3 of those left after freezing the timer and obviously trying to figure out what happened.
A couple asking. "Wait...how's that work?" "What just happened?"

So I guess personally wish Cloudshift wasn't in the game. But, no denying the power of the build. But, I'd hate to fight against it so not sure I want to use it since that will just help spread the disease. lol
No doubt at least one of my opponenets went off to copy the deck after defeat. IF they have premiums. That or cursing their existence. lol

So, I do have other colors I work with even though this is only my second build and it's in this same thread...

I was trying to open the achievement, "defensive line", you know using Vent Dentinel to cause 20 damage. Well, I did it albeit against a complete newbie who spent turn 1 throwing away shock to the face and then having no creature with power over three to break the walls...but of course, the iOS didn't recognize my achievement, probably since my opponent didn't concede and after over 400 multiplayer duels I apparently still haven't won 100 nor my victory v. All the bosses I beat to get the cards...

Anyways, I usually don't post because I can't type and I don't get much feedback to the last one, but maybe since I have some specific questions, y'all can help.

I feel like I need more draw here than the wall of omens, but what to nix? Counter spells for Think Twice? Lose some walls? Also, can a Vent Sentinel Build compete outside of the achievement goal? Does it need negate to supplement cloudshift and Gods willing? Is it too slow without green? I assume the crappier green walls aren't worth the benefit of cultivate?

Letting Off Some Steam...

LAND
3 izzet Guildgate
3 Boros Guildgate
3 Azorius Guildgate
5 plains
5 islands
5 mountains

by Cost

0 mana: zilch (ah-doy)

1 mana: Shock x4, Gods Willing x2, Cloudshift x4

2 mana: Wall of Omens x3, Doorkeeper x4, Nullify x2

3 mana: Anger of the Gods x2, Banisher Priest x3, Guard Gomazoa x3, Dissolve x2, Gargoyle Sentinel x3

4 mana: Vent Sentinel x4

Here are some things to ask yourself:

1) Do you really need 24 land in a deck with only four spells above three mana?

2) Why are you running Shock when your deck is designed to block little dudes all day? Have you thought about swapping them out for Voyage's End so you can bounce and counter big guys that slip through your counterspells?

3) Do you really need to spend six slots on the Cloudshift/Gods Willing protection plan? That seems like a lot and I'm not certain you need it at all. Negate would be fine protection and it has extra utility because it can counter stuff like Triplicate Spirits.

4) I'm not sure I like Banisher Priest here, since you're playing Anger of the Gods.

1) I wasn't sure either...but three colors with 9 gates? Should I sack four-six basic lands and maybe add the remaining gates? (Thus having 21-23 net).
2) Good point, but I was thinking of tokens that crawl over my walls. Also, they can finish growing creatures like Chasm Skulker...and the ever present mentor of the meek? That dude is a pain. Having just gotten trampled by a Terra Stomper though, I'm thinking bounce too now...
3) Both spells have protected my Vent Sentinels and Banishers in the past, albeit in only three multiplayer trials. With the meta shifting a bit towards removal of weenies, I'm a little partial there, but I think I'll need to experiment more.
4) He was there for the biggies, especially with trample, but your bounce sounds better...

So possible revisions might be:
-3 Banisher Priests
-2 lands (perhaps through losing basics and adding gates)
-2 shock
+4 vapor snag
+2 voyages end
+1 of...uh...the unsummon sorcery that works on enchantments...just forgot the name...

Hrm, maybe less bounce, more draw.

I would use Voyage's End over Vapor Snag in this list and I would get a full playset of Think Twice in there. Bounce is fine, but I wouldn't go all in on it; three slots is probably okay.

The way I got that achievement done was by making a 5 color deck with almost all the walls, 4x Think Twice, Palasade Giant, Aegis Angel, Resolute Archangel, and a few Switcheroos. It worked against human opponents too. The Palasade Giant/Aegis Angel combo buys you a lot of time.

I ran into someone running that Cloudshift/Act of Treason/Switcheroo build yesterday.. it seemed to be the exact same card for card as the one posted here. It was pretty cool, but it ran out of tricks fast, then he sat there spamming Think Twice over and over again while the Fattledriver ran him over.

I felt like he needed more draw and more control. Bident of Thasa would have really hurt me IMO.
