Topic: Advice on my creature-less U/B Discard/Draw deck

I'm looking for some advice on my deck called Army of None
http://deckbox.org/sets/474347

This is a casual legacy deck for playing with friends.

Yep, it's creature-less.

The win condition is Wheel and Deal and Underworld Dreams.
Megrim will help, as will Hymn to Tourach.

Propaganda, Counterspell, and Breathstealer's Crypt to hold
opponents creatures at bay.

The deck is for casual fun times.

Certainly feel free to suggest any cards.

Thanks!

Re: Advice on my creature-less U/B Discard/Draw deck

Liliana's Caress is a good start. in my experience, underworld dream is not as good as just using 4x megrim, 4x lilana's caress and using things like:

recoil
jace's archivist
dinrova horror
magus of the jar
whispering madness

but if you are set on having creatureless deck, my suggestions would be:
spiteful visions
windfall
memory jar
and maybe some removal for any creatures that come at you, like: damnation life's finale evacuation

hell if you do evacuation/bounce as a theme you could throw in warped devotion

Re: Advice on my creature-less U/B Discard/Draw deck

thanks ishboh.

all good stuff.

this is a bit odd, but i'm only sticking to cards
with the older look and feel. that might change,
but for now it's what i like.

i've got 4x recoil in my sideboard,
i think some more play testing will let me know
if i need some or all of them in my deck.

windfall is awesome but it's banned
in legacy. as is memory jar.

if the group i play with wants to play vintage rules
i'd definitely put those in my deck.

good call on evacuation, i'll pick some
of those up and see how they play. the only thing
i'm concerned with is it's relatively high mana cost
for this deck, which doesn't have anything over 4.

i just picked up some urza's guilt and
lim-dûl's vault so i'll see what happens
with those.

thanks again.

I'm not going to pretend that I keep up with Legacy, but wouldn't Whispering Madness achieve the same thing as Windfall?

Re: Advice on my creature-less U/B Discard/Draw deck

it sure would.

i think it'll be cool to use windfall for
casual play, which is my main goal. and i already
own at least one.

thanks for the heads up though.

Re: Advice on my creature-less U/B Discard/Draw deck

Mind you, Whispering Madness/Windfall is HILARIOUS if you flash in Notion Thief... but alas, that's the EDH part of me speaking there...

Re: Advice on my creature-less U/B Discard/Draw deck

that's a nice card.

one of my goals is to hit them with damage whenever
they draw so i think notion thief is more suitable
for a different deck construction.

i might start playing with a few lim-dûl's vault
and lobotomy as well. the lim-dûl's vault
gets me the cards i need, as does brainstorm,
and the lobotomy can ruin some of
their combos and/or creatures that pose a threat.

i'm also trying to figure out if anvil of bogardan
and/or iron maiden and/or the rack
make sense here?

and any other suggestions of great u/b/colorless
cards that would complement the deck would be
greatly appreciated.

thanks

If you're looking to take away discard steps and whatnot, toss in Black Vise rather than the rack.  Misers' Cage can also fill in some here.

awesome thanks.
