Hey everyone! Here's a new deck for you guys to check out!
Featured Deck: W/U Tap Control 'Tap Dance' (Budget, Legacy)
Another friend of mine is working on a W/U control deck based around Gideon's Avenger featuring, naturally, a lot of things that tap your opponent's creatures. I've been playing with it a bit, and honestly, it was a a bit clunky and surprisingly mana-intensive. I've been ironing it out, and the list below seems to be the smoothest. Also, I see this deck being crippled by token-based decks. Any ideas?
Creatures: 15
3x Gideon's Lawkeeper
3x Goldmeadow Harrier
3x Gideon's Avenger
3x Pestermite
1x Wall of Denial
2x Sunblast Angel
Non-Creatures: 22
1x Emerge Unscathed
4x Ponder
3x Spell Pierce
4x Counterspell
2x Crystallization
1x Disenchant
1x Shield of the Righteous
2x Frost Breath
1x Jace Beleren
2x Oblivion Ring
1x Sleep
Land: 23
4x Glacial Fortress/ Seachrome Coast
9x Island
10x Plains
So...what's everyone think?

demonswordmen it looks good to me (congratulation on pulling Chandra, the Firebrand. I want one of her) Thanks! I'm so happy, since she's the one card out of the set I really hoped I got! Link2000 I am so jello of you.... I bought three booster boxes of m12 hoping to get one Sorin and at least one Chandra, they were the only two I didn't get... ToT I figured the god of Magic cards decided to smile upon me for once after the entirety of SoM block decided it was too good for me razz

Okay, I'm putting up a new decklist, so here's the previous featured deck in case anyone has more suggestions!
Featured Deck: B/R Bloodthirst (Budget, Standard)
I just got 9 packs of M12 (pulled a Chandra!), and really liked that they brought Bloodthirst back along with easy ways to trigger it. After drafting a Bloodthirst-heavy B/R deck, I decided that I would like to throw one together for the heck of it, and try to keep it in standard just in case I want to actually play at FNM.
Creatures: 17
4x Goblin Fireslinger
2x Goblin Guide
4x Tormented Soul
4x Stormblood Berserker
3x Vampire Outcast
2x Furyborn Hellkite
Non-Creatures: 23
3x Arc Trail
2x Burst Lightning
1x Chandra, the Firebrand
3x Doom Blade
2x Lightning Bolt
2x Red Sun's Zenith
4x Shock
4x Staggershock
Land: 20
4x Dragonskull Summit
11x Mountains
5x Swamp
EDIT: -2 Livewire Lash, +2 Goblin Guide

if only I could recommend bitterblossom D:
I nice little springjack shepherd/pasture combo is pretty cheap token generation for the soul sisters to gain life, then sac the tokens to gain more life and some mana.
I mean it's a really solid deck so I can't think of anything budget to put in.

I usually don't like the panoramas. If it's easy getting your color balance, then I would think them suitable, if it's not, then I'd get a Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse. Voracious Hatchling is a nice lifelinker and can get to be a 6/6 on it's own.
It's pretty good looking though, but a way to bring token creatures into play every turn would really up this deck's ease of playing.

Inteth if only I could recommend bitterblossom D: I nice little springjack shepherd/pasture combo is pretty cheap token generation for the soul sisters to gain life, then sac the tokens to gain more life and some mana. I mean it's a really solid deck so I can't think of anything budget to put in. Bitterblossom would be amazing, but is worth about as much as she's willing to put into the deck total...darn. I shall playtest the Springjack Shepherd/Pasture and see how it goes. With those two, I might not have to deal with the Panoramas at all. Link2000 I usually don't like the panoramas. If it's easy getting your color balance, then I would think them suitable, if it's not, then I'd get a Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse. Voracious Hatchling is a nice lifelinker and can get to be a 6/6 on it's own. It's pretty good looking though, but a way to bring token creatures into play every turn would really up this deck's ease of playing. Yeah, I'm trying to find cheap ways around the Panoramas. I'll try out the Wilds/Expanses if the Springjack idea falls through. Good call on the Hatchling.

Featured Deck: B/W Soul Sister (Budget, Legacy)
A friend of mine asked me to build her a cheap B/W life gain deck. We originally explored a focus on hybrid costed cards and mass gain such as Divinity of Pride and Life Burst, but we didn't like the feel of it. Then we stumbled upon the deck list for Mono-W Soul Sister. The deck focuses on cheap, recurring life gain (such as Soul's Attendant and Soul Warden...the eponymous Soul Sisters) to quickly and efficiently power up huge Ajani's Pridemates. Sanguine Bond is a back-up win condition in case the opponent is playing defensive. This is what we've got so far...
Creatures: 23
2x Serra Ascendant
4x Soul's Attendant
4x Soul Warden
4x Ajani's Pridemate
3x Mourning Thrull
2x Suture Priest
2x Vampire Nighthawk
2x Ranger of Eos
Non-Creatures: 17
3x Brave the Elements
4x Survival Cache
3x Mortify
2x Oblivion Ring
3x Unmake
2x Sanguine Bond
Land: 20
3x Arcane Sanctum
2x Esper Panorama
10x Plains
5x Swamp
