Bazaar Control 2013?

What "other lands?"

Other man lands.  Barbarian ring.  Right now the deck can really only win by attacking with mishra's factory.

I feel like this deck folds hard to Leyline or Rest in peace. It is not nearly as fast as Dredge or a Reanimator strategy so the risk/reward factor is not nearly the same, and I don't see the benefit of taking the risk of playing a grave based strategy like this for no real reward over the proven lists.

I think if you really want to make bazaar work, more likely than not you should be looking to utilize the filtering it gives you more so than anything else. Instead of relying heavily on the grave I think I would rather use it to draw and play as many cards as possible in short order

What if the core of the list was based around Tezz 2? Off the top of my head:

1 Black lotus
5 Moxen
1 Sol ring
1 Mana crypt
1 Lotus petal

1 Tinker
1 Blightsteel Colossus
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Timewalk
1 Voltaic Key
1 Timevault
1 Fastbond
1 Demonic tutor
1 Brainstorm
2 Crucible of worlds
3 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
2 Trinket Mage
1 Yawgmoth's Will
2 Phyrexian Metamorph
1 Zuran Orb
2 Squee, Goblin Nabob

4 Force of will

4 Bazaar of Baghadad
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Riftstone portal
1 Tolarian Academy



There are a bunch of ways you can go with a core list like this, I have not given it all that much thought but snapcasters are great, A counter suite, tendrils, ETC. The deck has a great many ways of winning and in a deck that can pitch and cycle as fast as this one Tezz 2 is possibly better than Jace, and this way the deck utilizes the yard but it is not dead in the water to grave hate.

Here is a list I put together, using the RUG Madness list in this thread. I decided to go with a RG Beats theme:

4 Bazaar of Baghdad
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Wasteland
3 Taiga
1 Mountain
1 Forest
1 Barbarian Ring
1 Riftstone Portal
Strip Mine
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Elvish Spirit Guide

3 Goblin Welder
3 Gorilla Shaman
3 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Basking Rootwalla
4 Squee, Goblin Nabob

3 Lightning Bolt
3 Grafdigger's Cage
3 Mental Misstep
3 Null Rod
2 Life from the Loam
2 Ancient Grudge

Sideboard:

3 Ingot Chewer
3 Tormod's Crypt
3 Surgical Extraction
3 Pyrokinesis
1 Lightning Bolt
1 Mountain
1 Forest

It pretty much plays the Mana Denial Plan, and uses Squee+Bazaar for CA.
I'm not sure how viable this deck could be but I think it has a shot.
