I have this "thing" for trying to recreate classic decks with my "touch" added to them. I looked up several decks from when this deck was popular (mid 90's) and I kept the basics in: Maro, Armageddon and Swords to Plowshares. I did see some decks with Wall of Blossoms (and Wall of Roots which I may change to) and Wrath of God (I just figured with Rout's ability to play as an instant would make for a better choice).

Did you consider Multani? A bit expensive, but great for multiplayer.

 

[Killer Joe]

Multani, Maro-Sorcerer
This card?

 

[Oversoul]

Yes.

It sucked.....I moved on to a variation of it that had my last standing opponent locked down.
