Challenge: Build a competitive standard deck using a playset of each of two unplayed cards. The deck must be competitive enough to hold its own vs a decent standard deck. Prize for a good deck is +1 karma from me and hopefully anyone else who sees this and that if they are feeling nice.

Your deck must have a playset of  {Helvault} AND a playset of  {Elbrus, the Binding Blade}

GO!

No one is doing Esper 'Reanimator?'

Obzedat's aid, forbidden alchemy, lingering souls, supreme verdicts, angel of serenity, etc?

So far all the decks are winners

I don't know how to use helvault. Cheating in the blade seems OK, but the vault seems like a space waster...

I'll whip up red/blue artifacts tomorrow. I think that's another way to play it... Izzet keystone, Mutavaults, ral zarek, hidden strings, gilded lotus, stolen identity, izzet charm, goblin electromancer, world fire, invisible stalker, helvault, binding blade, cyc rift, augur, counter spells, searing spears, aethering, niv mizzet, blasphemous act, pyromancer etc.
