4xShared Fate

4xDiabolic tutor

4xDemonic Colusion

4xViridian Joiner

4xPrismatic Omen

4xFertile Ground

4xUndiscovered Paradise

10xSwamps

12xForest

10xIslands

The idea being envy. the desire for others people's stuff rather than greed and wanting everything. So the idea is getting shared fate and forgetting about my own deck and using other people's knowing they will get mostly land from me.

I feel wrath would be more effects that trigger when you take damage or have to discard or when something of yours dies

very cool twogun-I like your take on the concept-I was thinking along the same lines for envy using clone and such-though i really like shared fate. 

the one thing that is not sitting with me is sylvan tutor, it doesn't really help you excpet with the joiner, and it becomes a hinderance if yur oppoent uses it againest you.  I might switch it out for prismatic omen, that way I know I can play my opponents spells.

That's a good idea. I didn't want clone bacause they could use that.

What about Hive Mind? That seems pretty envious to me. :)

more like copying than sharing, but in a deck where you want to steal everything, hive mind could backfire.

also, i woulda gone with a "copy" theme for envy, since you want to have the same things that others have, not just take it from them.  coulda gone with:

Vesuva
Copy Artifact
Sculpting Steel
Copy Enchantment
Clone
Dance of Many
Sakashima, the Impostor
Vesuvan Doppleganger
Psychic Possession (works great with Temple Bell!)
etc
etc
etc

lots of ways to abuse that.

Lust would be hard. Choose cards like Earthbind.

Lust could be creature control... by luring your opponent's creature on your side... like maybe something like the Soul collector... that could be considered lust... or not...

I like the your thinking of envy jmd.  I was thinking along the same lines for envy-a copy deck works well with that since its a desire of what another person has.  I didn;t think of using the imposter, nice touch, I added body double and dimir doppleganger with mind funeral.

Greed is the desire for material gain-both in draw and creatures stealing seems natural for this, also consider the other word for greed=avarice as in avarice totem

Im thinking more about lust-putting something I think might work together

Just to be sure that you're opponent doesn't exchange it back...

cost less mana-wise but still your opponent has a chance to get back the permanent...
