There are all sorts of threats. Milling with altar of dementia, overkill with grimoire of the dead, ping with viridian longbow, sudden death with quietus spike. And i have decent anti-enchantment and anti-artifact with aura shards. Also decent draw with token generation and skull clamp. A little bit of everything!

Any suggestions for the deck? I would consider it a "new" deck, because it's so different from any previous versions. New focus on artifacts and counters, and incidentally, all cards except for 2-drop creatures are one-ofs. But, i find decks with one-ofs to be kinda fun and unpredictable. I think i can now correctly call this a midrange deck.

BTW what is the largest number of posts there have ever been in a forum thread? Because this is going on over 100!

I also realized something: My Stuffy Doll is ABSOLUTELY fatal when it has a few +1/+1 counters on it. I had a stuffy doll that was a 4/5 and the opponent only had two choices: take 4 damage and lose the game or take 5 damage and lose the game.

Any last cards to trim off my deck? I removed one Archon of Justice to fix my mana-ratio.

Oh well... I already order Elesh norn, grand cenobite... It's ok, my deck is looking pretty darn good right now. All my friends are super mad when I play kalonian hydra with hardened scales and champion of lambholt.

As for my mana color ratio, I've found that a 50-50 mix is best, even though two-thirds of my deck is white. I have a lot of early-game color-specific cost cards like Avatar of the Resolute and Fleecemane Lion. As the game goes on I should have enough of both colors to cast what I want, but the 50-50 really helps me cast my early game creatures in the early game.

Maybe if I added Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in the place of the Sunscorch Regent, I would have a good Ultimate.

I feel like this deck needs some sort of "Ultimate" card, that costs a lot to cast... But I don't want the mana curve to be to high. Right now, my Enduring Scalelord is my "Ultimate." Is this a good enough card? I also have Kalonian Hydra and Sunscorch Regent and Stuffy Doll. Those are pretty strong cards even though they don't cost in the CMC 7+ range.

I don't have any nonbasic lands so I just changed my mana ratio and I'm getting more of the right colors. But the ratio is less similar to my mana usage distribution than is was before.

A rules question:
I have one Hardened Scales, a Kalonian Hydra, and a creature with X +1/+1 counters on it. I attack with the hydra, doubling the counters. So does the creature now have 2X+1 counters or 3X? Also, does a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter cancel each other or do they just both stay there on the creature?

The sample hand generator (Again!) insists on giving me Plains with no Forests, or better yet, no lands at all... This has happened several times in a row....

For my mana color ratio, I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I go with 10 to 14 (42-58) or should I do 9 to 15 (38-62)?

For the 1/1 counters from the Ajani Planeswalker, none of those counters end up on the Cat tokens themselves, since they all enter at the same time, right? Also, where does 800 counters come from? Isn't it just 40 counters per other creature?

How do you remove a monstrous Fleecemane Lion?

I gave up lifegain as part of my deck, so which is better: Citadel Siege or Path of Bravery?

I think I will be buying my cards from TCGPlayer... Anyone ever bought from there? I am getting Near Mints and Lightly Playeds. Do the cards come in pretty good condition? Not sure what a Lightly Played looks like...
