The only interesting thing about it is being able to use up some of that extra mana I always have sitting around at the end of an opponents end step. But still, 2w or something for the mana cost would have made me a bit more interested.

I would consider it if I could actually pump it as an instant. unfortunately it is a sorcery speed ability so no dodging bolt or gaining extra life from swords.
Women love men with an air of mystery about them, and nothing adds that to a guy quite like a ball-gag with a hello kitty picture on it.

This guy is in no way an upgrade from our present choice of beaters.
You can't pump it as an instant? Screw it then. I take back what I originally said.

Haha, I was so excited that I didn't see how weak it actually was. Playing the ability as a sorcery and no lifelink in the beginning also made me reconsider. Boy I really embarrassed myself over there lol.
Stax, stax, stax.. JENNNNGAAAAA!!!
I probably still wouldn't play it even if I could pump as an instant because It would still be inferior to a BSA because it wouldn't randomly win in the early game with 10 point life swings right off the bat. not saying it's the worst card ever, it's a decent substitute for BSA if you dont have the cash, but its not optimal in my oppinion.

Hey guys, what do you think about this list?
17 Lands
4 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
3 Flagstones of trokair
6 Plains
16 Creatures
4 Aven Mindcensor
2 Baneslayer Angel
2 Exalted Angel
2 Jotun Grunt
2 Kitchen Finks
4 Windborn muse
27 Others
4 Armageddon
4 Oblivion ring
4 Suppression Field
4 Chalice of the void
4 Chrome Mox
3 Crucible of worlds
4 Trinisphere
60 Total
15 Sideboard
4 Magus of the Tabernacle
4 Ghostly Prison
2 Stonecloaker
3 Pithing Needle
2 Tormod's Crypt
I'm thinking of change my mind and try it next weekend instead aggro elves. Elvish Champion > "deck with forest", and there are a lot in my meta.
Thoughts?
Even with Chrome Mox, I think you need at least 19 lands to support 4 mana cards.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.
Team ADHD-To resist is to piss in the wind. Anyone who does will end up smelling.
Ok, it's not tested, I only take this list and do some changes
how is aven mindcensor working for you? please be detailed as it seems like it could be good, but I have never used it so i dont know.

First I have to say that for now I haven't played this list. But in my last attempt to play control stax I put Mincensors in side and in every matchup I side him in and they comes into play, they were great. Not only affecting survival, natural order and fecthlands but also attacking over the opponent blockers to make pressure.
It was so great that it's the reason that I'm trying to make and Aggro stax deck like this.
I like him so much that I'm trying to fit him in every deck with the white stax core XD.
From my experience playing a more agro stax version:
-2 Jotun Grunt
-2 Kitchen Finks
-1 Windborn Muse
+3 Ghostly Prison
+2 Land (since you only have two slots Karakas and maybe Kor haven, or Canopy)
Having an even split on 6 prison elements helps a lot. I'd also try to hit 20 lands at least, you shit is expensive to cast.

I played a list of aggro stax very similar to that one.
Aven mindscensor really works good. It cuts fetchs, tutors and so on. However it's 2/1 and in matches such as burn is crap. But, in average, i like this guy. My creature basis:
4 E. angel
4 Mindscensor
3 Glowrider (is kitchen finks better??)
4 Windborn muse.
@Al-ucard: are you thinking on flipping your strategy to control stax post board?? In what match ups??
Basically agro and swarm aggro ones (goblins, merfolks...)
About Glowrider, its worth it? Paying one more for geddon, Oring and other stuff don't seems good...
Right, i felt a bit unconfortable with it except when i had a trini or a chalice, but yes mostly it was a problem.
Reffering to aggro, do you keep windborn in the main or you side it for prison and that's it?
I don't know, as I said, I don't test this list yet, but I think that we want all prison effects in the deck.
has voidstone gargoyle ever been considered in this deck? Naming Krosan Grip or anything else the opponent can do to destroy lock pieces seems good.
It's a bit overcosted. I rather use Aura of Silence, which not only makes thier Deed a bit more expensive for their liking, but also can take rid of some vexing permanents like opposing Crucibles, Leylines, etc. Not to mention that Aura of Silence > Mox, Petal, LED, LED, IT, AnT, gg.
Was this even a real Skeggi's hero?Lol. You're my hero.
Aura isn't very effective vs EE and it doesn't have a flying body.
I was thinking of trying it out in place of an angel or two. Granted it doesn't beat as hard or gain life, but its meddling mage effect could be useful.
