Well i quit magic in like 1997/98...sold all my cards (no uber cards but several dual lands/birds/serras/berserk etc )
Well now after all this time me and some friends who used to play as well .. started to play again  with proxies ( we look for the card on net...print them...and paste them on common cards).
Well anyways i made this deck .. could probably be compared to keeper but theres a bit discard in..  anyways   will this work?

If you proxy all your cards anyway, why not start with a regular Keeper deck anyway? the Type i forums on this site offer probably THE best advice for Keeper of all sorts. looking at your list you could as well try out OSE. Use the search button in both cases.

I am not a huge fan of forcing standardized decklists so I will instead make some comments on your deck that are a safe bet, even if you don´t want to reasemble Keeper or OSE:

Birds have no place here while playing Balance and Abyss yourself, especially since they only make opponents targetted creature spotremoval useful which would be useless otherwise.
Despite of that you want them first turn but your mana base can hardly allow this.

With only Regrowth left as the only green card you should either add Sylvan Library or consider dropping green altogether. If you keep it, drop the Bayous since Regrowth can be run off Cities and stuff since it is only needed later.

Frantic Search doesn´t work outside of combodecks.

FoW is basically a 4-of and should be played over regular counterspells in any deck with enough blue cards in it.

I am not sure what you want with just one Dark Ritual and I suggest upping the Duresses to 4 before adding Hymns.

Disenchant is universally replaced by Dismanteling Blow in decks like these.

These things are for sure and then there are popular options like adding red, substitute one morphling for Masticore if you face more aggro, the consideration of Moat, the trick of Cunning Wish in combination with a proper sideboard, the new fetchlands (in conjunction with Brainstorm) and other things that depend on the direction you want to go. These would also drive you into the scope of regular Keeper decks, decide yourself if you want that.

Klasnas,

Just as a side note to the 'we look for cards on the net, paste them...'

From just joining this site i learned about www.essentialmagic.com .

You can print off any card in existence and they look great too, even when using a janky printer.

Just go there, click in the cards section, then 'Proxy Cards' and you can type in any card and bingo, you have a nice card.


Good luck with the deck too. I also have been making proxies since I just got back in, and am bravely converting my Extended Psychatog deck to Type 1
