Topic: New gates
I need some help with my favorite deck, ever. Some of my deck is getting ready to go out of standard, so I'd like some help updating it for standard, and improving it for modern use. Preferably, your suggestions will only involve cards I already have, but I can buy a few new ones.
New Gates - my idea for this one was 4 color, BRWG, extremely budget(TCG minimum price of 16.31, average price of 44.38), and topping out at 3cmc. Avacyn's pilgrims, Zhur-taa Druids and Burning-tree Emissaries let me ramp and provide blockers, while the Druids also add a little extra ping to mana requirements, Gatecreeper Vines ensure extra blockers while letting me make my land drops, Lingering Souls let me bring out extra flying blockers that can band together to take down many flyers, Hold The Gates lets me pump my dudes up so they can take all but the hardest hits while still letting me make minor flying raids against opponents without flyers or reach without turning my blockers sideways, Gateway Shades pump up for occasional hard hits, and Crackling Perimeters let me ensure that my extra guildgates don't go to waste after my hand empties, as well as letting me keep planeswalkers my opponents control from going ultimate, if I don't have a dreadbore at hand. This is my favorite deck to run, as I still have plenty of stuff to do, even when I'm topdecking. I know it's not a Tier 1 deck, although it does better against decks running shock lands than most people would expect. http://deckbox.org/sets/354867
