Played a similar deck in old extended.

I would suggest both hideaway lands as 4offs.
Xantid Swarm is nuts. Attack, prevent counters, Shoal FTW. Also silhana ledgewalker is pretty nice. Or Birds of Paradise. Ornithopter,
Nothing feels better than attack for 20dmg with a bird ^^
Next thing: I would use Fling, Fatal Frenzy, Berserk, Rite of Consumption....
Spoils of the Vault is a decent tutor.

And take Greater Gargadon, Progenitus, Decree of Anihilation or Myojin of Infinte Rage as your cards to remove.
To make it the perfect casual deck: Add gemstone Cavern :wink:

Maybe something like:

// Lands
2 [8E] City of Brass
4 [TSB] Gemstone Mine
4 [ARC] Mosswort Bridge
4 [TSP] Gemstone Caverns
4 [LRW] Spinerock Knoll

// Creatures
2 [TSP] Greater Gargadon
4 [M10] Ornithopter
4 [CFX] Progenitus
4 [SC] Xantid Swarm
2 [8E] Birds of Paradise

// Spells
4 [BOK] Blazing Shoal
4 [TE] Lotus Petal
4 [SC] Decree of Annihilation
4 [MR] Spoils of the Vault
4 [B] Berserk
4 [SHM] Rite of Consumption
2 [M11] Fling


Have Fun.

@ OP: John?

I've been playing around with something similar to this list. Extremely fun to play, and nobody expects it.

[Climax]

no, I'm not John^^

like I said, I played a similar list in old extended. (With some changes due deck legality.)

In my opinion the only question is if you will take infect creatures or not.

And don't underestimate the ability to put a 2nd turn Progenitus in play

[NyxathidHorror]

Sorry, I was meaning towards OP. I should've stated that before.

[igri_is_a_bk]

I'm bumping this thread because I completely changed the OP. I added blue, which I was only trying to avoid doing so that half the deck didn't become the status quo of deck building, but I gave in. Blue is undeniably more consistent, so I switched a lot of stuff out and tried to minimize the bad cards. At the end of the day, it is still a Blazing Shoal deck, so take it for what you will.

The deck hates Wasteland. A lot. And Wasteland gets played. A lot. It'll probably never be a tournament caliber deck because of that fact right there, but it's still fun. I'm looking for any suggestions you guys might have just from eyeballing over the list.

Why play this over Pitch World?

I'm gonna say you want 4 stifles because of this format.
