Making all creatures black is pretty strong with elephant grass I would think. Not even worth a 1 of?
For those playing a black splash, why are you not running darkest hour?
I'm working on a build that will run 3-4 bloodmoon. I'll try the card out and see if it fits, but the deck is so cramped as it is. Thanks for the response!
Hello, this is my long-time deck. I haven't really been paying attention to MTG for a few months, what is this omniscience bullshit going around?
Anyway, I was looking through recent sets and the...
The primary benefit of Lignify is that you can cast it with Iona on the table (set to white). It's good to have some split of Lignify and Oblivion Ring (or Journey to nowhere).
What about Leyline of Sanctity in the sideboard? It beats the hell out of other combo hate because they can't strip it out of your hand if you turn zero it. And while every combo deck will be able...
when are you bringing in dovescape? any cool stories about actually playing it?
I no longer run Sacred Mesa, but I agree that it is a fine card. However, I would never run Mesa and WoWar without Sigil, because then both of your win conditions are susceptible to Pithing Needle. ...
In almost all cases, WoWar is superior to Sigil. However, they are different enough in what they do and how they win that I find it worthwhile to run one of each.
WoWar:
-red
-CMC 3
-skips...
No, but enough people in mine run Pithing Needle that its worth it to me to have one win condition that cannot be needled.
It honestly depends on how many double-white spells you are playing. If you are playing 4 Runed Halo and 2 Moat, you want at least 3 Savannahs. If you run few double-white spells, then running 1...
As far as duals go, I run my enchantress with one taiga. I'm considering adding a Savannah, but I'm not sure it's really necessary. Ravnica duals would be fine, as long as you have the Windswept...
A few topics others may wish to expand on:
The Combo Matchup
This is any deck that consistently wins turn 3 or faster, usually without attacking (Tendrils variants, but also Belcher). Since...
I would run a singleton copy of Ground Seal maindeck (as you already are) instead of Wheel, because at least when it is useless it still cantrips, and sometimes it's very useful. Wheel can be a dead...
I don't have much experience with the matchup either, but it is helpful to have either Blood Moon or Ground Seal in your maindeck as a 1 of. Blood Moon shuts down their whole deck; turn 2 Grove turn...
Cracker Enchantress would just be sex.
Don't forget that Guile can come down turn 1. Entering play that early is very powerful, and is magnified by however many fetchlands and other shuffle effects you are running. Library CAN come down...
Sacred Mesa is an effective kill with its own unique requirements. The times when it is the best kill card are rare, however I have found myself with 2 cards in my library and my Words of War...
The only problem with Grove is that you have to drop it before Iona comes out because it doesn't matter what color they call, you aren't going to play Grove after that. I currently run 4x Grove and...
Agree with (exactly) one MD Groundseal. Worst case it cantrips for two mana. Best case it kills an entire angle of the other deck (shutting off Life from the Loam, for example). However, drawing...
Runed Halo is very good. Running it pretty much requires that you add more non-basics to the land base, going from:
0-1 Savannah
1 Taiga
0 Plateau
to:
4 Savannah
1 Taiga
Landbase: looks great!
Maindeck:
4 Oblivion Ring/1 Lignify: really solid removal package. Maybe a bit overkill even, you could try dropping to 3 O.Rings to add another utility slot (maindeck...
double post, please delete.
First of all, with 63 cards you only have 19 lands? I am running 21 with a 60 card deck and feel it is just barely adequate. This might be part of why you are mulling to 5 a lot.
What I would...
