Hmm, all interesting ideas.  I actually ran a black suicide deck for a while that I built for 200$ (Sinkholes, Tutor, etc, yes) without the wastelands or mox/lotus but in an unfortunate incident lost that and my U/G madness deck on the Trailways bus coming home from college *tear*.

I've always loved the idea of playing with a stax deck but, never could figure out anyway to make one without resorting to the woeful $T4KS solution, until I saw that elf listing.  So, root mazes and chalices coudl go a long way,a nd I guess I'll figure out how to incorporate those.

Thanks again.

Hahaha, aye that would be sweet.  Thanks again for the input!

Thanks for both replies!  I guess I'll look into multi-coloring this deck or going with a cheap version of Ichorid.

Hi, a little about me before I drop down the deck list I saw for a Legacy Elf Stax deck.  I'm playing a T1 format with friends, none of whom own the expensive (I define expensive as anything that ebay's over 10$ per card) and saw this list that looks like a lot of fun.  As a college student, and broke, I can't afford too much, but are there any cheap Type 1 revisions that would make this more effective?
