pretty "standard" highlander list for me.
5 honden/7 planeswalker (forgot to add nicol bolas^^) carddraw/mana/removal/equipment/couple good creatures . thats pretty much it.

i still prefer to play that 350 to face (battle of wits) deck i´ve posted earlier.

here is one of my favorite lists with a couple of the new cards. Made a little "article" out of it:

.317   1   Tolarian Academy
.808   1   Liliana Vess
.1220   4   Shadowmage Infiltrator
.1618   4   Mulldrifter


Its a Aggro/Control hybrid deck based on a mix of cardadvantage and library manipulation , backed up by Drains/FoW. It was designed to beat my gauntlet and thus has to be versatile.
You will have plenty of things to do per turn during the mid/late game since there are a bunch of Planeswalkers in there.
Once you´ve reached a certain point where you´ve stabalized the Deck is hard to stop.
The cardchoices are as versatile as possible and i will go into that now:

card-draw
.804 2 Jace Beleren
.1618 4 Mulldrifter
.1 1 Ancestral Recall
.499 1 Brainstorm
.1220 4 Shadowmage Infiltrator

Thats 12 slots for carddraw, Infiltrators/jace provide a steady stream of new cards

manipulation
.808 1 Liliana Vess
.639 1 Tezzeret the Seeker
.402 1 Sensei's Divining Top
.62 1 Demonic Tutor
.333 1 Vampiric Tutor

Tezz should fetch mana(mox/sol ring)first if needed . Also good for fetching Jitte/Shackles as defense.
I rarly used the Liliana Vess tutor thing, most of the time i just let her discard.
Demonic/Vampiric are very versatile - i usually grab Force/Drain or Shackles with them.

defense
.632 2 Umezawa's Jitte
.630 1 Vedalken Shackles
.644 4 Sower of Temptation
.720 4 Mana Drain
.1717 4 Force of Will

Force/Drain to protect you Infiltrators / or to foil the opponents strategy.
Mana Drain is the MVP in this deck since it protects AND speeds things up.
Don´t be afraid to use Force of Will to remove a creature from your hand.
Sower / Shackles are very versatile and save your butt from common threats.
Jitte can kill of creatures or grant you some life if needed.

offense
.632 2 Umezawa's Jitte
.1127 1 Ob Nixilis, the Fallen
.1064 1 Sphinx of Jwar Isle
.644 4 Sower of Temptation
.1618 4 Mulldrifter
.1220 4 Shadowmage Infiltrator
.249 1 Time Walk

Sower/Mulldrifter/Shadowmage play versatile roles in this , they usually deal the major damage.
the jitte can be considered as a winning option aswell since you can pump your creatures.
Ob Nixilis slot is in there for the quick win and is also helping a lot when you deal with opponents with a lot of lifegain. the 8 fetchlands in there should provide some "spike damage" with him aswell.
The Sphinx is a defensive choice against decks with heavy creature removal (shroud also prevents it from dying to The Abyss).
Technicly the planeswalkers could be considered as winning option aswell - but usually the creatures finish the game.

manabase
.165 1 Mox Emerald
.166 1 Mox Jet
.167 1 Mox Pearl
.168 1 Mox Ruby
.169 1 Mox Sapphire
.230 1 Sol Ring
.258 4 Underground Sea
.1487 4 Polluted Delta
.1488 4 Flooded Strand
.126 5 Island
.239 1 Swamp
.317 1 Tolarian Academy

thats 25 mana sources (8 fetchlands). the average spell costs 3 mana.
the number is actually slightly too low but usually the carddraw provides a stable manabase.
5 moxen + sol ring for acceleration (no room for Black Lotus )
8 fetchlands to thin out the deck,synergy with Sensei´s / Ob Nixian /Brainstorm.
4 Underground Sea (could be cut down to 2 to add more basics if needed,i prefer to play 4 against Wastelands over adding more basics - Shakles rely on your Island count)
5 Island / 1 Swamp are in there against Blood Moon Effects and the Crucible+Wasteland lock

no room for
Fact Or Fiction
Black Lotus
Ponder
Dark Confidant
Damnation
Yawgmoths Will
Loxodon Warhammer
Sword Of Fire And Ice
Psychatog,Goyfs,Tombstalker

First version i´ve played this deck with Confidants.Matchup against burn based decks was too bad with it so i´m using Mulldrifter instead.
Fact/Ponder : could cut Mulldrifter for it.
Warhammer/SOFI: good cards , but jitte is just more versatile.
Damnation: can save your butt , but the card is dead too often in my gauntlet.
Yawgmoths Will: Main thing that scared me off was the average Manacost of the spells in this.
No other reason to not run it.
Creatures:Tombstalker/Psychatog would fit in this very well.Feel free to adjust.

Too bad 3 cards from this deck are going to be locked down by challenges

meeeeh

i better make a safty copy of this version then so i can play with the cards i want

ok this deck is officially dead with the current release .

.1913 4 Dryad Arbor
.1257 4 Lotus Cobra
.1674 4 Exploration
.1178 4 Harrow
.358 4 Kodama's Reach
.1967 4 Life from the Loam
.1570 4 Rampaging Baloths
.933 4 Scute Mob
.1912 2 Crucible of Worlds
.1207 4 Solemn Simulacrum
.632 2 Umezawa's Jitte
.1990 4 Tranquil Thicket
.740 1 Pendelhaven
.1473 3 Windswept Heath
.1985 4 Oran-Rief, the Vastwood
.319 1 Gaea's Cradle
.91 7 Forest

This did better than I thought it would :p It's a nice, casual landfall deck I made just to play around. I won several games with it until I crashed it by trying to use the Jitte to pump a creature, forgetting it wasn't equipped to anything at the time :p It could really use more forests, since sometimes it runs out, and Harrow is bugged (or else has wrong text ingame) because the lands come into play tapped, contrary to the text. Most games I didn't even get the baloths out; I never seemed to draw them, but the Scutas were usually growing by about turn 3-4, and they whooped some major behind.

Harrow is supposed to put lands into play untapped.

1.use the bugreport to report bugs please.
2.jatill fixed that harrow issue with the latest patch (20091012)
3.Jitte in the deck is currently locked (can be unlocked with challenge 3 later).

Here is my deck (if only i had these in real cards lol), I think it is pretty good, but then again I am a novice MTG player.

Can anyone think of any good additions to my deck? or improvements?

All of these cards are restricted to 1

4 Black Lotus
4 Mox Emerald
4 Mox Pearl
2 Balance
2 Mox Jet
2 Mox Ruby
2 Mox Sapphire
4 Sol Ring

If you cut each back to 1, you could put in 1-3 lands and Land Grant. maybe....
