Hey I'm glad I'm not the only one on the constellation train. As stated above i feel as though the red splash doesn't give you a huge benefit. Currently I'm running a junk constellation deck and i find it very good. So my suggestion would be either stick to a straight b/w constellation with a theme of life manipulation or move to green instead of red. This is all up to you so don't feel pressure to change the deck if you love the deck play it. Heres my junk deck list which similarly has a lot of life total manipulation with some other cool featureshttp://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20747

the deck does feature both Elspeth and the boon satyr if you check the list. I had two coursers and traded them away i feel like they are a good card but they do have a big down side in revealing your draws. Im currently working out several trades in order to get 2 blood barons and others to assemble the lesser pieces of the deck. The mana confluence is not in the deck because i would much rather have the temple that it and right now im trying to unload the confluence. as for adding the ethereal armors and the eidolon of countless battles i think there good ideas. i not in love with the ethereal armor but i might play testwith the eidolons in place of the boon satyrs and see which i like best

Topic: standard legal Junk Constellation (5 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
hey i was hoping for some feedback on my semi budget list for junk constellation. some of the mechanics of the deck is drain and gain life from underworld coin smith, nyx-fleece, grim guardian. Hand disruption from the brain maggot. Eidolon for the card draw, and doomwake for the wrath ability. all these cards give these great effects while being an enchantment. The other non-enchantment creatures are some of the win conditions. after seeing this deck preform it lacks finishing power and so i have supplemented this by adding the Ajani's chosen in the hopes to flood the board with cats cause cats. Blood baron because the card is too darn good its practically un-killable and is a great finisher for the deck. Elspeth also fits our finisher role because Elspeth is one of the best closer in standard. Other cards in the include ultimate price which will eventually get replaced by heroes downfalls, which are just plain old removal. banishing light as another semi-removal spell that also triggers our constellation. Mana bloom is a very powerful card in the deck this card basically reed pay one green do everything. It can draw cards, gain life, give -1/-1, etc. Underworld connections is for when you don't have eidolon out and you need cards. A general review of the deck drain/ gain life early move into drawing excessive cards with underworld and eidolon land a threat and win. If my budget wasn't so limited the obvious improvement would be probably add a second Elspeth and have all of the lands. Please leave all comments and criticism
