It's a shame about needing the fancy dual-lands, seeing how much they cost, but I can see why I'd be at too much of a disadvantage without them.
As far as mill goes, I've got an Immortal Servitude. Seeing how many of these creatures are 1, 2, or 3 manna, that might work well. I like a lot of the other anti-mill ideas put forth here too. Defy Death might also make the opponent regret milling away an angel.
I harbor the same resentment towards the dual lands. I try to "get by" with the guildgates and the M13 fancies that trade more towards $3-4. This one calls on the Innistrad duals, though, which still sit in that $10-15 range. Pain in my ass.

Re: R/W Boros Stuffy Death (Standard) (7 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I forgot to mention that I'm using Into the Maw of Hell as a sideboard alternate to the Blasphemous Act. It's not nearly as nice, but carries the same effect against someone with a Boros Reckoner sitting out there.

Re: RW Boros Human Aggro (10 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I'll be sitting out of FNM for the next couple of weeks (college hockey is heading into the post season). My local spot has had a lot of really aggro decks, and $$$ net deckers. I haven't seen a lot of the UG or BU builds there. But....
To sideboard against mill decks. How about Elixir of Immortality? I also think Angel of Glory's Rise gains some synergy off of a stacked graveyard. And if it's a zombie mill (like my own), even better!
The most durable Simic trick I've seen so far has been using the Zameck Guildmage to keep cards like Young Wolf from ever going away.
For deck testing - have you used Forge or anything like it? The AI isn't quite as sophisticated as a person, but it's pretty good. There are a couple of cards that don't work (like Killing Wave), but I do a lot of post-Friday tweaking there.

Re: RW Boros Human Aggro (10 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I've been working on something pretty darned similar!
http://deckbox.org/sets/333647
I'm trying to emphasize creatures that get bigger, and also many of them.
1) I'm with you on the Assemble the Legion being sluggish. I'm sticking with 2 for the moment. So far in Forge I've found that the Intrepid Hero and Five-Alarm Fire Really help prop you to the mid game. Not only does the FAF help with creature removal and direct damage, but it also keeps your opponent's attackers at bay. I'm not opposed to the Cathars' Crusade, I just don't have any in inventory at the moment. I'm trying to accomplish the same thing with Mikaeus, The Lunarch, but I think your idea might be better.
2) I'm also trying to figure out the late game Angel count. I really like my Angel of Glory's Rise (another Crusade combo), and kinda wish I hadn't traded off my Gisela when it was $4 (Ten alarm fire!).
3) Sideboard.... Ash Zealot and War Priest of Thune both hit Sideboard niches while also being humans. I think the First Strike/Haste of the Zealot are useful enough to have maindeck I put my Assemble the Legions in there, in case I actually wind up in a long game (doesn't seem to happen often in standard right now). I would probably sideboard that Glaring Spotlight, although the "unblockable" is neat - but why not have another Odric, Master Tactician, instead? I have Legion Loyalist maindeck, but he's very handy for that creature token bit. Apart from that, nothing wrong with Searing Spears and Oblivion Rings. Skullcrack seems like a nifty way to deal with those stupid Thragtusks, as well as a lot of the extort combos that are bound to start showing up.

Re: R/W Boros Stuffy Death (Standard) (7 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I've been tinkering with a R/G Stuffy doll deck:
http://deckbox.org/sets/320319
I'm messing with the Lobber Crew as a means to both bide the mid game, and also start that really annoying "tap for one damage" thing that the Doll does oh so well.

Re: [standard][GR] Stuffy Doll (2 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Hmmmm, thanks for the input. Taking some of my own ideas, and yours I came up with this revised idea:
http://deckbox.org/sets/320319
The Flinthoof Boar was in my sideboard Friday night. It seems like a great second punch following the Vexing Devil.
I can't believe I've ignored the Lobber Crew! One of the niftiest things about the doll is the "one damage to itself" feature, and this gets that going earlier. It's also nice to have a 0/4 blocker out on turn 3.
I had Titanic Growth for a moment, but then thought that a bloodrusher might carry better flexibility. Zhur-Taa Swine also counts for multi-color, which will resonate with the Lobber Crew.

Topic: [standard][GR] Stuffy Doll (2 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Here's the deck:
http://deckbox.org/sets/276130
The fundamental idea is the beat the shit out of the Stuffy Doll. It's been very fun to play, and has done really well at the kitchen table. I took it to FNM this last week, and would like to do better.
Some of my own thoughts:
1) I'd like to trade into a playset of Vexing Devil, and swap out the Goblin Arsonists.
2) The Arms Dealer sometimes hits the doll, but seems more effective for creature removal - particularly in the early game.
3) I can't decide if the Hellrider is helpful if I don't have a squadron of goblins out.
4) I think just about everyone is playing the Boros Reckoner now.Into the Maw of Hell may replace the Blasphemous Act because of this, but it's so damn pricey!
Basically, I'm trying to speed the deck up a bit withouth losing that punchline. The first 3 turns seem to go well, but the middle 3 flounder a bit.

Re: red/black vampire deck (2 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Here's my red/black vampire deck:
http://deckbox.org/sets/267198
I had wrestled with the idea of the exterminator. I wasn't able to convince myself that it would be handy to cast late in the game, and I didn't want to give it 3-4 slots to try and get one into play early.
I've discovered by accident that the Blood Artist/Killing Wave makes for a great combo. It creates a scenario where your opponent is losing life no matter what, and has to figure out what is worth keeping.
It looks like you've kept the deck at a great price point, which I totally respect. It wouldn't take much to bring yours back to standard format, if that's appealing to you.
