Hi, I've been around the forum for several years but rarely post and have actually opened a new account recently due to loss of my password.

Anyway, on to the deck!  I've always been a big fan of rogue decks in general, mostly incorporating old ideas with new ones and bringing life back to old combos with new cards and ideas.  So far, with some help after reading through the "Mountains Win Again" thread, and a few hours of card searching and play testing I've had some extraordinary results with what I feel could become something fairly competitive.  Mainly because it packs just enough disruption coupled with aggro beats to stall my opponent and then finish with an explosive amount of draw and enchanted creatures. 

I've wasted enough time on WG Control Enchantress builds.  All of which were decent, but either lacked the prison provided by Parfait or the speed of RG Beatz.

The list:

R/G Enchantress Beatz
==============

ENCHANTMENTS:  20
3x Seal of Fire
3x Seal of Primordium
2x Ancestral Mask
4x Rancor
4x Root Maze
4x Keen Sense

DRAW:  4  (8 TOTAL counting 4 Keen Sense)
4x Argothian Enchantress

BEATZ:  19 
4x Tarmogoyf
3x Gorilla Shaman 
4x Birds of Paradise
4x Simian Spirit Guide
4x Elvish Spirit Guide

MANA: 17  (29 TOTAL counting BoP and Spirit Guides)
1x Black Lotus
1x Lotus Pedal
1x Mox Emerald
3x Wasteland
1x Strip Mine
4x Taiga
4x Karplusan Forest
2x Forest


SIDEBOARD: 15
4x Ground Seal
4x Black Vise
4x Thorn of Amethyst
1x Seal of Primordium
1x Seal of Fire


So far I've tested and refined this deck list for a week or so and have come up with amazing results.  I haven't had the opportunity to test it against the full gauntlet but have had some sick results against Parfait, Stax, TPS, and Neo SUI and the results have been tremendous. 

For obvious reasons this deck kills Parfait and Stax.  The fact that the deck runs Rancor main really punches holes in the theory of Smokestack as I can sack and replay it every turn.  As far as Parfait is concerned, the deck simply out draws and out speeds my modernized Parfait build (thanks to the new Parfait threads that it was built after).  Neither of my Parfait and Stax builds have had a chance.

It has been beating up on TPS with the main deck Root Maze and ToA on the sb, however I haven't played it against faster combo such as Ichorid nor Dragon which might give it a better run for its money.

In all honesty its worst matchup might be aggro control.  This I've had the least amount of testing.  I'd be curious to see how it fairs against Fish, but Oath is what really worries me.  This is just speculation though.  I'd be hard pressed to see a bad match against Fish.

I would appreciate some play testing and would love to hear some new ideas!  Thanks in advance!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no chance this thing beats TPS.  4 Root Maze and no other disruption and no particularly fast clock is a joke.  What turn do you goldfish on?  Because they do it turn 2.  I feel like you need to find some different testing partners who are more adept with the decks to beat if you have found this thing beating up TPS.

Heya,

I'm not sure you have a very serious deck, there.  However, recently, Stephen Menendian wrote an article about a R/G Beatz deck that may fit your style.  Here's the deck list:

Artifacts
4 Chalice Of The Void
1 Lotus Petal
4 Null Rod

Creatures
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
4 Magus Of The Moon
4 Mogg Fanatic
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Stingscourger
4 Tarmogoyf


Enchantments
4 Seal Of Primordium

Instants
4 Pyroblast

Basic Snow Lands
3 Snow-covered Forest
3 Snow-covered Mountain

Lands
1 Strip Mine
4 Taiga
4 Wasteland
4 Wooded Foothills

And here are the links to the threads:
