Are any of the Sanctuay good enough to build a casual deck around?

Necra + Sterling Grove + ?
Ceta+ Meteor Storm + Guided Passage + ?
Dega + Relentless Assault + ?
Raka + G.Knight + ?

Suggestions,

Necra Santuary / Sterling Grove is definitely buildable. I've been mulling over an IBC Necra deck but I haven't had the patience yet (or money) to actually get a final decklist.

Hope you don't mind me posting it.
Creatures
2 Desolation Angel
3 Necravolver

Enchantments (make those Grove's worth playing)
4 Necra Stanktuary
4 Sterling Grove
3 Deuling Grounds (combo w/ D. Angel, good defense)
3 Phyrexian Arena
2 Overgrown Estate (combo w/ D. Angel)
1 Pernicious Deed (just in case)

Spells
4 Rout
3 Eladamri's Call
4 Vinny D. Cate
3 ??? Death Grasp or Harrow maybe

Lands
Lots of Painlands, damn

More casual and/or creature heavy stuff to consider:
Celestial Convergence
Argothian/Feremet Enchantress (the deck could be enchantment heavy)
Serra's Sanctum
Charging Troll
Ranger En-Vec
Sabertooth Nishoba
Fleetfoot Panther (surprise, take 3 damage)

Hope this helps to get you going.

****************
Raka + Galina's Knight (nice) + Teferi's Moat = Your opponent better hope they aren't playing a creature deck.

Me too. Building just about any IBC deck cost a lot of money.


Possible Raka decklist(very rough)
4 Mountain
4 Plains
4 Island
4 Battlefield Forge
4 Coastal Tower
4 U/R Pain-land

4 Goblin Legionaire
4 Galina's Knight
4 Lightning Angel
4 Opt
4 Absorb
4 Prohibit
4 Raka Sanctuary
4 Fire/Ice
4 Prophetic Bolt

Dega + Arena works quite nicely, and doesn't require a third color...

For the IBC necra build, I tried something similar.

The MVP of the deck was Sabertooth Nishoba. Not too surprising in a field dominated by blue.

My main tech for the deck was Rewards of Diversity -- makes their undermine read, "counter target spell, opponent gains one life.

Hey Caveman I like that Raka Sanctuary deck. The only thing I would say is to find some room for Orim's Thunder or Dismantling Blow and you'll be in business. The tough part is figuring out what to remove, I'd probably say prohibit or opt but that's just me, I'm not crazy about either.

Clmax, thanks for reminding me. The Nishoba was in my original decklist for the same reason but I screwed up the decklist (trying to go from memory). I think I'm just going to post the decklist b/c it could use some help.
