EDIT : testing has shown that 3CC trinisphere are too slow against storm i splitted into 2 thorn 2 null rod, I didn't like these trinis
also I cut a taiga for a fetch it has been ok so far and i didn't have issues with that
cutted the fast elvish spirit guide guide for 4 sylvan scrying
cutted one scrying for a safekkeper main.
in testing ooze and ruric are not good maindeck i don't side them much
testing has shown the deck is both worse than elf and lands so i don't think it is good enough ...
added tireless tracker they are awesome

No Dryad Arbor as a GSZ/fetchland target and NO fodder?
Orcish lumberjack is one of my favourite cards! You want at least 1 primeval titan. 4 Tinder wall seems odd with 0 Drs.
Lumberjack is the best! The vintage applejacks deck (basically a value survival engine + lumberjacks) was sooooooo much fun to play when vintage first came to mtgo. 4 titania's is just beautiful too, cool list.
there are 2 dryad in the deck they are counted as creature by cocaNo Dryad Arbor as a GSZ/fetchland target and NO fodder?
you want to accelerate into big stuff and dont want to eat your fetch in graveyard cause they are needed for titaniakinda
Orcish lumberjack is one of my favourite cards! You want at least 1 primeval titan. 4 Tinder wall seems odd with 0 Drs.
grim monolith has been tested inferno titan also but it was in a previous build without the dark depth combo this build is better
primeval titan is not needed it is 6CC so harder to hardcast than titania and can fetch the combo but you dont want to overload on target.
primary targets are dragon to wipe out the board or titania to kill if you have a crop
I'm still pretty sure you'd be happy swapping out a needle for a prime time NO target. Good point on Drs...maybe one birds then.
Sweet deck dude.
I've only ever seen Orcish Lumberjack + Titania in this list before, but the other half of the deck is different. I think your list is better.
http://www.hareruyamtg.com/en/k/kD38528S/
this deck definitely wants maindeck Sylvan Safekeeper. It's not only good with Marit Lage...it's insane with Titania!
Also like Ooze and Ruric MD for some Scryings or a Needle
EDIT: just saw that you added Safekeeper, nvm
I'm pretty sure that ruric thar, the unbowed and progenitus should deserve a spot in the 75.
Maybe Ruric maindeck as an hooser against combo in G1 and Progenitus from the side to bring in grindier mathcups.
Ruric is also a house against delver decks btw.
Ignorance is strength
What match ups have you tried? How does it fare against the top decks of the format. :)
I tried something similar, with greater gargadon, I like the fact that Crop Rotation is usable for other stuff. To bad Lumberjack isn't green. :P
What are Needle for? (I know what they are good against, but I would like to know your reasoning behind them).
Bane of Progress out of the board maybe? Have you tested Boseiju, Who Shelters All/Cavern of Souls as a sideboard weapon against counter spells. Another land that could be good out of the board would be Glacial Chasm.
I second the safekeeper, it's one amazing creature!
I actually think you are right not to include Ruric Thar and Progenitus in the main board. You don't need cards that are that difficult to hard cast. Delver runs rampant in my metagame and that dragon seems really nice. :)
I played against grixis delver UR delver it is slightly favorable to even.What match ups have you tried? How does it fare against the top decks of the format. :)
Czesh pile can be little harder before side caus they have strix to block the marit lage and you don't have progenitus/grudge before side.
Mono red stompy is a good matchup so is turbo depth.
Death and taxces is a good matchup.
miracle is not good, but you can manage sometimes to steal some games.
eldrazi is favorable.
needles are both for drs which stops titania from your fetch to come back and for wasteland depends of the situation.
The great thing about DRS running rampant in the meta is that Needle always have a target.
How come mono R stompy is a good match-up? It seem to me that both Chalice for 1 and Blood Moon destroys this deck? Needle is a blank against them, ofc. you got grudge and gsz in to rec sage after board. But it seems to me that this deck would loose game one 99 % of the time. They should be able to steal one of game 2 or 3 with turn one blood moon/chalice or something in that order?
D&T is another match-up where needle should shine.
No md way to deal with reanimator, storm, or sneak and show probably puts those matchups in the bad column.
Well needle turns Griselbrand in to a lifelink creature with no abilities other then that, that is horrible enogh. And you could race reanimator. Needle is good against sneak attack, but not so much against show. Maybe 1 karakas main somewhere, would be good with Needle? Storm is a bad match up before sideboarding, ruric thar could be an option.
What about to include Ramunap the Excavator? It can play well with Orcish Lumberjack and Titania.
there are full of one off I'ld like to put in sejiri steppe ghost quarter maze bojuka bog gaddock teeg, primeval titan progenitus worldspine wurm ruric etc...What about to include Ramunap the Excavator? It can play well with Orcish Lumberjack and Titania.
but what would happen is that i draw them naturally and they suck, so I try to focuse on the primary goals titania beatdown or the combo or NO into dragon
Ramunap the Excavator I didn't test it but in which matchup would I want it ?
Ramunap Exc. will recur combo pieces and fetches. I don't think the late game weapon that he is are very needful here.
I would add Ruric (as a main deck weapon against storm/delver/miracles), Karakas, Bog, Progenitus or EW before Excavator. Maybe even a one of Wasteland, Ghost Quarter through CR makes 3 tokens when you destroy your own land. Eot, hitting for 20 when it becomes your turn.
Did you test GQ as a one of? :D
I have to proxy the deck and try it out.
