[HELP] Ghave, Guru of Spores

[kirkusjones]

Recently decided to build a new EDH deck after getting bored with Geth. Here's the list so far, I'm looking to build a more tool-box/multiple win condition deck. Any suggestions are helpful. Savannah and Scrubland aren't currently in my budget, but I will be picking them up as soon as I can afford them. I'm in the process of tracking down an Elspeth Tirel, Forgotten Ancient and Maelstrom Pulse

List updated:

+ Woodfall Primus
+ Champion of Lambholt
+ Forgotten Ancient
+ Skullclamp
+ Privileged Position
+ Verdant Catacombs
+ Marsh Flats
+ Misty Rainforest

- Phyrexian Altar
- Phyrexian Reclamation
- Mentor of the Meek
- Ashes to Ashes
- Reanimate
- Krosan Grip
- Scavenging Ooze
- Forest

I'd still like to find places to test Phyrexian Tower, and I need to find room for Oblation and Elspeth Tirel. I'm curious to see how Forgotten Ancient and Champion of Lambholt turn out, but I'm thinking one of the two will eventually become Mycoloth .

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

Your deck needs more Triskellion and Tooth and Nail... unless of course your playgroup deems the combo too unfair.

Also, Diabolic Intent is a very solid tutor along with Forbidden Orchard assisting your Defense of the Heart triggering "for previously suggested added combo" :D

[Bignasty197]

Cards I would like to see in here are:
Symbiotic Wurm
Miren, The Moaning Well
Collective Unconscious
Garruk, Primal Hunter
Birthing Pod
Attrition
Tooth and Nail+Mephidross Vampire+Triskelion

I don't know what you would want to take out for a few of these, though.

I am playing Ghave as well at the moment. Here are some all-stars that I would never ever do without:

Mindless Automaton
Blood Artist
Blade of the Bloodchief
Creeping Renaissance
Nim Deathmantle
Cathars' Crusade
