I play in a semi-competetive/casual group. We don't play Armageddon effects or dedicated hand destruction. I'm intentionally not playing a Primeval Titan because I'm just tired of it, and I've found Crucible of Worlds to be pretty underwhelming. If I had revised duals they'd be in the deck for sure. I'm hoping to swap out Ajani Vengeant for Elspeth Tirel as soon as I get my hands on her.
The deck is a blast to pilot and its very interactive with other players/the field. I'm always open to criticism and card suggestions so let me know what you think!
Also, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get both deck and card tags to work simultaneously. Help!
Also, considering adding Ajani Goldmane to the deck. His lifegain ability and ultimate are pretty peripheral, but the ability to buff a lot of tokens seems like it could be worth the slot. Thoughts?
needs mana echoes. awesome combo card for the deck. make a token, get a few mana from echoes and rinse and repeat and just beat face. also, i would look for more slivers and put them in. heart sliver for haste and a few other good slivers. i know not all sliver decks are mean to be beatdown decks, but its just so easy to turn critters sideways.
Mana Echoes would be a powerful slot and an obvious choice in a lot of ways, but I'm not a fan of infinite combos. However I did add another sliver. Here are my recent changes:
The sliver is a much more relevant draw late game, and is just as good early game. Mirrorweave is just a blast to play and can do so many different things. Bitterblossom.... duh. I found that Sylvan Library wasn't doing enough. Martial Coup fits with the token theme. I took out Opposition because I didnt like how many games ended with me locking people out of their mana during their upkeep. I know Glare is a subpar card when compared to Opposition but I am ok with this.
The deck tends to bleed its own life a lot with the Fetches, Shocks, Pyrexian Arena, and Bitterblossom. The only lifegain I have in at the moment is Espeth Tirel, and I'm wondering if I should add more. I don't like devoting slots only to lifegain, but I need a little something. Maybe as a utility slot. I can easily eat 10 life by turn 5, which has caused me to get knocked out of some games earlier than I should. Thoughts appreciated!
