Went 1-2 drop, first opponent forgot his deck. Round 2 was Abzan company, didn't realize it until he combo'd game 1, then I had to mull to 4 game 2. RIP Round 3 was Tribal Flames Zoo thing. Lost game 1 to a Geist and game 2 I drew too many dragons, oh well.
Out with the Old, in with the...old.

Adding... Frontline Medic, Launch the Fleet, Precinct Captain, Preeminent Captain, Raise the Alarm.
Swapping... Elspeth, Knight-Errant for Elspeth, Sun's Champion.

thanks for the suggestions but I have more infinite mana combos like magus of the coffers equipped with Sword of Paruns or Umbral Mantle
Omen124, 7 years ago
-Phyrexian Arena (card draw was a little too slow with only 1 extra per turn) -Viscera Seer (rather useless without Woodfall now) -Woodfall Primus (was a bit too slow and the wincon was difficult to hit) -Primal Growth (found that I was frequently ramping around this card because the sac creatures would be getting something them self leaving this without a target and this getting pushed down the priority of cards to be cast from my hand) +Living Plane (a new wincon with Massacre Wurm, also it synergises with The Gitrog Monster, Crucible of Worlds, and a combo of Living Death and It that Betrays) +Crucible of Worlds (heavily synergises with The Gitrog Monster, and fetch lands, added a stall/wincon of slow land destruction recursion with Strip Mine and Ghost Quarter) +Phyrexian Tower (I felt the deck could do with another lad, and this one excels with being able to sac a creature and give an extra mana for it, also subs in for Viscera Seer) +Reclamation Sage (a smaller version of Woodfall Primus)

I will be taking this deck to a standard tournament and recording my results in a few weeks. Expect updates then.
Deck edit
Murgy, 7 years ago
I have decided to remove the 2 Ceremonious Rejection and 4 Glimmer of of Genius from the side as I never find myself siding them in, as against Mardu I burn their crew away with Shock and Kozilek's return, Saheeli is Shock or Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger/counter spells and Snake will be Ulamog and Counter spells mostly. So in that vein I have added another Dispel and Metallic Rebuke to the list. However, two things I find myself struggling with are Control decks (Namely U/R) and Gearhulks, to to help against them, I have put in 2 Appetite for the Unnatural and 2 Sphinx of the Final Word. (because winning counterspell wars is whats important in the control matchup. And if I can get Aetherworks Marvel onto the field, its not a bad choice if worst comes to worst) Thoughts, ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Cheapenization

Out
-Ghirapur Orrery: Was often just sitting in my hand not doing much.
-Architect of the Untamed Well generating a beefy token while playing lands but it was rather slow and no other cards that utilized energy making it a fairly blah draw.
-Aid from the Cowl: This card crushed me at the Aether Revolt prerelease. I was not expecting much from it but I wanted to try it out and unfortunately it was rather to slow for what I wanted it to do. Also it hitting Craterhoof Behemoth two games in a row was not a selling point...
In
-Blasphemous Act: A board wipe to clear the field when we need it.
-Joraga Treespeaker Mana dork that can generate a insane amount of mana.
-Reforge the Soul gives us a new hand when we run out of gas.
sideboard options
dudesquirrel, 7 years ago
I'm looking for more sideboard options. I like the idea of swapping out 8 Relentless Rats for the rats with infect. There's also some enchantments that may help against decks with delve like, Liliana's Caress
Update No. 1
LORD_SLOTH, 7 years ago
Added Multi-land cards as well as Dark Ritual, Quicksilver Amulet, Diabolic Tutor, and Weathered Wayfarer as suggested by Dredgar and What4joke. As well as removing some of the basic land cards.
Ideas
the_earl_0f_grey, 7 years ago
Out: Mountain x 2, Explorer's Scope, Five-Alarm Fire, Tenza, Godo's Maul In: Lotus Vale, Scorched Ruins, Blinkmoth Urn, Howling Mine, Quicksmith Rebel The idea is to break orb symmetry when unable to tap them by simply untapping higher yield lands. Explorer's Scope doesn't interact very well with them and without topdeck manipulation isn't very consisent. Will be put aside until land count or scrying increases. Five-Alarm Fire has been performing poorly on timing, only appearing well past the stage of game it should appear or see play. Tenza has been phenominal on Kari, very unwhelming on everyone else. Underwhelming with anyone who isn't Kari or Grenzo. Blinkmoth Urn magnifies mana, Howling Mine magnifies cards. Both can have their symmetry broken by tapping. Quicksmith Rebel will be tested for his artifact tapping abilities. Edit: If the mana from Blinkmoth Urn proves unnecessary, have plans to swap for Krark-Clan Ironworks
plyster13, 7 years ago
I added a Trop Island that was gifted to me.
Frog Control
itsalwaysbeenwankershim, 7 years ago
Keep the board clean. Run your opponent out of steam, and then drop a frog for the beats. Blessings keep it all happening over and over.
bobtoll, 7 years ago
I've decided to go (mostly) full-on Ad Nauseam. Adding in Laboratory Maniac and Lightning Storm for the conventional win cons.
