[Deck] 50-land Valakut

[stage]

This is a joke deck but it's really fun to pilot and goldfishes turn 3-4 most of the time. It also can win through hate almost as well as Nourishing Lich.

Maindeck (60):

// Lands (53)
4 [ZEN] Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
4 [R] Volcanic Island
4 [R] Taiga
1 [R] Tropical Island
4 [ZEN] Scalding Tarn
32 [R] Mountain
4 [ZEN] Misty Rainforest

// Spells (7)
4 [WWK] Treasure Hunt
3 [EX] Manabond

Not sure about sideboard, it's hard to bring in anti-hate that doesn't mess with Treasure Hunt.

Looks like fun. Maybe toss in some Elvish Spirit Guides and Lotus Petals to combo out a turn or two faster. I assume you pretty much mull until you get Treasure Hunt?

Yup

ESG's/petals would be cool but if you don't draw them in your opening 7 then they can really screw up your combo

True. Fishbowling the deck, running into a few times of Hunting into another Treasure Hunt. More nonland stuff is just going to increase that.

and the times you don't run into ~that, you get blown out by wasteland.... its played in like 60% of the meta.

I was playing it as turn 3 Treasure Hunt into Manabond. If you drop all your land at once, Wasteland is a nonfactor.

Yeah. Wasteland is mainly relevant if you don't turn-3 combo, or if, say, they're at 18 and you end up with exactly 6 mountains + a Valakut in play; in this case, they can Waste a mountain in response to the Valakut trigger and not take damage

What if they counter your Manabond? You really need some protection, but I still like the deck. If only I had the M̶o̶u̶n̶t̶a̶i̶n̶s̶ Taigas, I'd build it immediately. :laugh:

About the possible sb choices:
4x Bojuka Bog
4x Life from the Loam
4x Boseiju, who shelters all your Treasure Hunts
3x Some land to replay/put on top/into hand/reshuffle countered Manabonds
alternatively some kind of tool against Moon effects. Flashback Fireballs might be good. Edit: Devil's Play or Conflagrate.

Also, I'd play four Manabonds.

Here's what I would change:
-1 Treasure Hunt
-3 Mountain
+4 Burning Wish

That gives you 3 additional treasure hunts for a higher likelihood of one in opening hand (fewer mulligans) plus a whole whack of anti-hate wishboard tech.

I would also try to squeeze in 4 Rishadan Ports so you can try to tap them out on turn 2/3 before you untap and go off with Treasure Hunt.

That's reasonable. I tried this deck on MWS and although it was fun, the need to mull to TH was annoying.
Also, Boseiju is really good for both BW and TH.
