The Point of the deck is obviously to flip Sasaya ASAP, and then make incredible amounts of mana, which powers out a X-based spell or some other awesome win condition. With Sasaya out, you have x^2 green, where X is the number of Snow-Covered forests you control. With the removal of mana burn, this deck became incredibly attractive for me, since otherwise you won't be able to spend mana as evenly.

I would like to increase the power of the deck (it looks fairly weak compared to the broken piles (of blue) I see on here), and its consistency - sometimes it just fizzles for a few turns after flipping Sasaya, and I may have too few lands to flip him as reliably as I want.


Any suggestions are tremendously appreciated.

Jorael, Empress of Beasts. Sometimes you might use it to turn your lands into creatures, but more often it prevents your opponents from playing wrath of god. Or if you do play wrath, "response, discard two cards, destroy all your lands" is pretty good I hear :tongue:

Bull Elephant and Ghost Town put lands in your hand. Too bad Ghost Town doesn't get Sasaya's benefit...

Ant Queen
Protean Hydra
Verdeloth the Ancient
