Haste and evasion, black red, and good in multiplayer and duels.
Demigod of Revenge is an extremely close second. The only reason the Reaver gets the nod is because it requires both black and red mana, my personal favorite color combo. Demigod you can throw in mono red or mono black, which is still cool, but I prefer the Rakdos requirements for my signature creature.
Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen :symu::symb::symg:
Legendary Creature - Human Druid
Insect creatures you control get +1/+1
Whenever Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen attacks, you may pay :symu::symb::symb::symg::xmana:. If you do, put 0/1 black Insect creature tokens onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Exile those tokens at the end of combat.
2/2
Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen :symu::symb::symg:
Legendary Creature - Human Druid
Insect creature you control get +1/+1
Whenever Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, you may pay :symu::symb::symg::symg::xmana:. If you do, return Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen to your hand and put 1/1 green Insect creature tokens onto the battlefield.
2/2
Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen :4mana::symu::symb::symg:
Legendary Creature - Human Ninja
Ninjitsu :2mana::symu::symb::symg: (:2mana::symu::symb::symg:, Return an unblocked attacker you control to hand: Put this card onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.)Whenever Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen deals combat damage to a player, put X 1/1 green Insect creature tokens onto the battlefield where X is the damage dealt by Shinoth, Nantuko Chosen.
4/4
Edited a little bit. Made the second one have to be targeted by opponents. Should have done that in the first place. Insect clone! Made the first one black insects and took away flying so they could match tokens made by a previous card, Carrion. Would love all the tokens to have flying to match the flavor, but I think it would probably be to overpowered.
I mean I thought it was cool with the Graveborn artwork so I wanted to use it on MTGO. So first time I hit someone I didn't have the mana. Second time I went after Damia guy and he had plenty of cards in hand so I chose black and got a Life's Finale. Saw he had a Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, Woodfall Primus, and Omniscience. Well crap, he still had 6 cards in hand and the other guy only has 2. I'm gonna swing at him again to get that Omniscience outta his hand. He concedes next turn when I declare attackers.
Is that too mean considering what I saw in his hand?
Then the last guy got mad when I, on turn 14, attacked him with a Hellkite Charger and activated his ability twice getting 3 total attack phases and deadling 15 damage. Turn 14. No land drop missed. Here is what he said, name withheld.
11:23 PM -XXX-: pretty sure you just got added to my frown list
11:23 PM necromaster_1313: its not even that bad, i didnt go infinite, its late game and i had the mana
11:24 PM -XXX-: infinite in EDH casual is lame, kinda figured you are one of those ultra competitive lamers.
11:24 PM necromaster_1313: i dont have infinite
11:24 PM necromaster_1313: thats what i was sayin
11:24 PM necromaster_1313: turn 14+, i had 14 mana, i could activate twice
11:25 PM -XXX-: you just 3x hellkited.. both the others left due to you it seems
11:25 PM necromaster_1313: why the heck not right
11:25 PM necromaster_1313: for playin spells?
11:26 PM -XXX-: welp, no answer drawn, would have dominated your nonsense had either of the others stayed, just needed one artifact pop to steal anything you put out, welcome to my list of people who play nonsense. adios
So was I in the wrong, too competitive? I'm not a fan of infinite combo or degenerate things. I'd like to think I'm a casual EDHer. What's your take on it?
I think we are using midrange prices so that would put them at:
Tree of Tales at 0.77
Great Furnace at 1.16
Can still squeeze a couple in.
EDIT:
That would put us at
4 Vital Splicer ($0.17 ea)
4 Coretapper ($0.93 ea)
Artifacts: 20
4 Titan Forge ($0.38 ea)
4 Energy Chamber ($1.42 ea)
4 Voltaic Key ($0.52 ea) (1 @ -1)
2 Unwinding Clock ($0.84 ea)
4 Golem Foundry ($0.10 ea) (1 @ -all)
2 Everflowing Chalice ($1.16 ea)
3 Galvanic Blast ($0.36 ea)
3 Volt Charge ($0.21 ea)
4 Druid's Deliverance ($0.12 ea)
Lands: 22
12 Tolarian Academy (Priceless)
2 Gruul Turf (.27 ea)
2 Mogg Hollows ($0.20 ea)
2 Skarrg, the Rage Pits ($0.23 ea)
2 Tree of Tales ($0.77 ea)
2 Great Furnace ($1.16 ea)
Ok, another edit. Went ahead and verified the total for the prices listed and it puts us at 25.53. Not sure exactly where to go from here.
Voting down the Volt Charge by 1. Good card for the deck, but we have the Galvanic Blast. At this point looks like shaving is gonna be best.
Voting to shave 1 off of Voltaic Key. Just trying to trim down to 60.

Voting Mind Twist down. Great card but 4 seems overkill since we have 4 Hymn to Tourach as well.
