Before anything else, lets get the decklist on here:
9 Island
9 Forest
4 River Boa
4 Werebear
4 Lorescale Coatl
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Wild Mongrel
2 Wonder
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Daze
4 Brainstorm
4 Careful Study
2 Umezawa's Jitte
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
I built this deck originally as a U/G Beats Deck. It slowly turned into the list above, abusing Lorescale Coatl and his ability as well as an almost Threshold type feel with cards like Mongoose and Werebear. After my card choice explanations i'll show which cards (after much CASUAL testing) need replacing.
Card Explanation:
River Boa: Cheap, efficent beater with islandwalk and regeneration
Werebear: Mana production, originally Birds of paradise, adding cards like Careful Study and Wild Mongrel quickly turned Birds into Bears.
Lorescale Coatl: Quite the monster, turns brainstorm into an Unstable Mutation with library manipulation.
Nimble Mongoose: Couldnt pass up this little guy, with threshold available and possible he was instantly added.
Wild Mongrel: Pitch garbage to, likes to eat Wonder.
Wonder: Feed it to the mongrel, pitch it to careful study. Either way your Coatls now fly, say Thank You.
Accumulated Knowledge: Probably the weakest slot. Not really much else to say, want to replace.
Daze: Early threat stoppers, pitch when useless to careful study or pump the mongrel.
Brainstorm: With islands in the deck and the wording saying Draw 3, this card is just way too good to pass up.
Careful Study: Draw 2, Pitch 2 for U. Good as long as you have cards worth pitching.
Umezawa's Jitte: The Swiss Army Knife of equipment.
Sword of Fire and Ice: Deal Damage, kill a potential threat, Draw a card.
Cards I wish to replace:
River Boa: Late game he is absolutely worthless to draw off a top deck, good beater against blue, but i know theres better
Accumulated Knowledge: Should this be ponder? Got a better idea? Let me know. Good when pitching 2 to careful study, weak when its turn 5 and you draw your first one.
Daze: Great Card, without Force of Will i feel its a dead draw, replace for Spell Pierce?
Please when giving advice for cards to add in dont suggest tarmogoyf, i know he should be in here but i just dont have the money to run him or the availability to borrow.
Would this be worth fine tuning for Legacy? Or merely a Casual pipe dream?
