U play lot of bad/weak cards, but on the other hand u play 50$+ , thats so weird. did u copa that deck anywhere or what exactly is going on?
My playgroup plays a lot of board wipe. Permanents tend not to last very long. So instead of playing a bunch of defensive magic to keep my stuff around, I decided to play stuff that have some instant value and create card advantage. I also play a bunch of instant speed card drawing like
Jace's Ingenuity in place of permanents which build some sort of draw engine via triggered or activated abilities. Very often you play a card which allows you to draw in my play group, and you will never get to
reap any benefits from it. I would rather spend 5 mana to draw three cards, then 5 mana to draw no cards and get 0 use. So Ideally, the deck will put a bunch of non-threatening creatures out like
merchant of secrets,
elvish visionary and
reclamation sage, and dig into a craterhoof for the kill.
I had a similar deck built with
Momir Vig Simic Visionary which was a bit too powerful for my playgroup. So in a sense this is a dumbed down Momir Vig deck..
The deck was also built with cards I own currently...
