Breeding Pool is because I have them and they were in the WOTC deck I saw. I won't do that because I like Standard too much. If I stayed out of Standard a year, I could afford a competitive Modern deck, and if I stayed out of Standard for three years, maybe I could afford a decent Legacy deck.

I'd like to be able to do an Affinity deck that lets me win in 3 turns, but I can't even do that yet. I stayed out of Modern long enough, and I started out with a very budget deck, just what I had from Innistrad Block, 4x of each of the Guildpact commons, and then what I pulled from Modern Masters. Had I not even seen the blue/green deck from Wizards, I would have continued avoiding Legacy. Since I'm familiar with how a High Tide deck works because I've watched it played enough, I figured I'd start with what I know. The deck I'm working on/modifying is similar to one that was a deck on last year (plugged into SCG's deck builder, the total at the lowest cost would be $23 since I had Ponder and Breeding Pool).
