Tell me the stragety of {Goblin Guide}

Not much other than a T1 haste 2/2.  This deck is mainly kill the opponent ASAP and counter everything they try to cast.

I dont really like {Vexing Devil} here. If you really want to play a blade deck try UW stoneblade. The ability to search equipment with {Stoneforge Mystic} is needed for this kind of deck. {Vendillion Clique} is also a solid choice. I also like {Mishra's Factory} as it can be animated and holds swords like a pro. That being said do realize {Ponder} does nothing to help the temporal mastery plan. It fools alot of people at first, but think about it in theory. You play ponder. And look at the top 3. Now, lets say the first card you pick up is Temporal Mastery. Obviously, you are going to move it to the middle since you must draw the top card off of the ponder. You get the ability next turn. But in retrospect, had you never played the ponder to begin with, you would have got it next turn anyways. The only time ponder helps, is when its the 3rd card. That being said, cantripping and speeding the process up a turn 33% of the time you see a mastery off of the ponder does not make the ponder worth playing. Instead, try {Sensei's Divining Top} as it is colorless and can be used over and over. {Jace, the Mindscluptor} as a 3 of is also fine if you have the money for him.

I agree with the Top. The fact that it's instant speed and a draw means that you can pull off miracles at instant speed on your opponents turn. 😜

P.S {Mishra's Factory} doesn't fly.

Sorry about that, for some reason, I was under the impression it flew (I am the only one around my town who will play Legacy, so I dont get to look at the cards often. I will fix my post after this). Regardless, it is still good in Stoneblade, or if your really looking to have a good time, Faeblade, which plays more faeries and mutavaults.

Factories are good. Good flying man-lands are both {Inkmoth Nexus} and {Blinkmoth Nexus}.

Funny you say that about ponder cuz I already took them out and have modified this list in real life.....just not on here yet.  Was having deck editor issues and just have up lol.

Side note:  I have been considering making a U/W/G StoneBlade deck.  I wanted to splash green for {noble Hierarch} and {slyvan library}.  I am having fun with this one for now so I wil make the StoneBlade another day.

I was just stating the factual data around the ponder interaction was all (although I think removing it was the right choice). For your green splash, {Tarmogoyf} and {Knight of the Reliquary} are also solid choices.

Ok so here is the updated.  I swapped the swords so feast and famine can untap lands after casting miracles and what not.  I took out the 3 ponder and added 1 more {firebolt} and 2 {mana leak}.  I swapped the {lightning bolts} for {firebolts} to take advantage of late game flashback .....looking for opinions on this decision to swap.  I also swapped 2 {Snapcaster Mage} for 2 {grim lavamancer}.

Hmm, I would swap 1 Jitte with another Feast and Famine. I would also lose the faithless looting for another Snapcaster (I really like 3 in this kind of build, so I would find room for 1 more after the swap). And finally, I think you should make room for some {Sensei's Divining Top}.

[cltrn81]

Gaara what is your opinion of {firebolt} over {lightning bolt}?
