This is just a deck that I've been considering, wondering how it'd fair in the Vintage world filled with decks list Meandeck Oath, Control Slaver, 4cC, and other monstronsities. Taking all ideas on it.

Creatures: 22
2x Exalted Angel
4x Nimble Mongoose
4x Troll Ascetic
4x Mystic Snake
4x Blurred Mongoose
3x Eternal Witness

Draw/Control: 15
Gush
4x Brainstorm
Ancestral Recall
3x Swords to Plowshares
4x Force of Will
4x Mana Drain
Balance

Other: 7
Regrowth
Time Walk
4x Land Grant
Timetwister

Land: 18
Black Lotus
Mox Emerald
Mox Pearl
Mox Sapphire
2x Tropical Island
3x Tundra
4x Flooded Strand
3x Forest
1x Island
1x Plains

Total: 62 cards

Sideboard:
3x Echoing Truth
3x Echoing Ruin
3x Oxidize
3x Beserk
3x Ground Seal

AS you can see, it looks pretty bad. But as I stated, it's throw together idea, took my like 10 mins to think of this list. Lets see what it's made of.
Explainations:
Exalted Angel- It's a nice card, most ppl dont' like seeing her. Works great if your facing another aggro deck.
Nimble Mongoose- Cheap, gets bigger with your graveyard, can't be targeted.
Troll Ascetic- They can't target him, he's a good beater.
Mystic Snake- Counter creature, helps with beating.
Blurred Mongoose- can't be countered, cheap, untargetable.
Eternal Witness- Every green deck should run her.
Gush- Popular rise of Crucible/Strip means a maindeck of Gush and it's drawing power.
Regrowth- Same as Eternal Witness.
Balance- Your hand should empty fast, and this deck doesn't run as much land as most. Specially if their stripping you with Crucible help. Only drawback, you should have more creatures then them.
Brainstorm- Duh
Force of Will- Bigger duh
Swords- Answer to welders and other annoyances.
Mana Drains: Considering about cutting, nothing to use the drained man a towards.

Sideboard:
this needs the most help,if any. Right now, I only have it as Artifact and Welder deck hate.

Was considering Skullclamp for some drawing power, but that card hasn't been very helpful in T1 lately.

Haven't play tested either, which is probably the biggest draw back, but thought I'd ask everyone's opinion about it before it was built. Thanks.

An aggro creature base should have 4-ofs, not 3-ofs. Also, a ton of your card choices are suspect, you have altar's light and molder slug SB, and you didn't playtest this at all.

Moved to newbie.

May my soul be humble and forgiving to all.
