Creatures:

Spells:

4 Overrun
4 Everflowing Chalice

4 Oran-Rief the Vastwood
20 Forest

A deck idea that I spontaneously came up with when I saw Gelatinous Genesis. Probably needs a lot of tweaking, but I like the idea of having a lot of big tokens and Scute Mob(s) and Overrun/Garruk-ing for the win.

deck updated. its still budget, but not as budget because of the ravagers.

I want to make a 5 color aggro deck centered around amulet of vigor to untap tri-lands. beyond that i don't have much of an idea of what to run. Here's the list so far.

20 tri-lands (four of each)
4 Ancient Ziggurat

4 Wooly Thoctar
4 Rhox War Monk
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Bloodbraid Elf

4 Bolt
4 Path (?)

4 Arcane Sanctum
4 Terramorphic Expanse (for Landfall shenanigans)
8 Swamp
8 Plains

24 Land

4 Vampire Lacerator (2/2 for B)
4 Elite Vanguard (2/1 for W)
4 Tidehollow Sculler (hand disruption)
4 Kazandu Blademaster (2/2 first strike vigilance=fun)
4 Vampire Nighthawk (flying and lifelink)
3 Emeria Angel (OMG TOKENS)

23 Creatures

3 Duress (hand disruption)
3 Path to Exile (removal)
3 Sign in Blood (draw power)
4 Zealous Persecution (gets rid of small creatures and pumps)

13 Spells

I consider it good for a $25 deck. Please help me make it better.

Hello, and welcome to The Mana Drain.  We try to maintain higher standards for discussion on our forum, which we spell out in more detail in the site rules.  We require that new threads include more than a decklist alone because more information is usually needed to start good discussion.  Why did you pick the cards you did?  Are there certain strengths or weaknesses you want to identify?  What, specifically, would you like feedback from the community about?  This information is helpful to facilitate a good thread.  Also, thread titles in all-caps are generally distracting and aesthetically undesirable.  Good luck in future posting.  -DA

Prolly needs a LOT of work, but it's fun to play.

Really? hmm, i guess before saying 'Legacy banned list' i should check the Legacy list. Gaea's Blessing should still be sideboarded in Green decks, imo.

I had a brain fart and momentarily forgot about Legacy. OP edited.
I agree that Oath of Druids and Gaea's Blessing would quickly become predators vs. mill decks. When playing this format, and playing Green, I personally would at the very least sideboard those two cards.

Why I want this format to exist: I want this format to be a format in which you can expect to win without having access to Black Lotus, Moxen, etc.

Strategies: This format, in a way, seems like it would make mill an amazing deck (Glimpse the Unthinkable takes over 1/4 of ones deck)

Strengths: Forcing people to make decks that require thinking and not just "Oh, that's good, I'll just put 4 in right now!" or "Let's take the entire restricted list and make it a deck!". I understand that these are extremes, but you get the point.

Weaknesses: Not entirely capturing the fun of Vintage by allowing Black Lotus, Moxen, and other restricted cards; then again, this isn't Vintage

On a side-note, I think that this format will have an interesting concept to it; being a 40-card-eternal format. Also, I edited the original post to include sample decklists.

i updated the rule list a little. only one of each card is allowed other than basic lands.

...don't know what to call it though.
