Creature — Elemental Warrior

I would probably just cut some of the lower impact cards, like Flamekin Brawler, Flamekin Bladewhirl, etc. Creatures that are just piles of stats don't really do all that much, which is why I suggested those creatures with powerful etb/ltb effects.

Darth_Savage: After looking at Rite of Consumption, i have decided to trade in 2x Rush of Vitality + 1x Smother for them. Nice suggestion you gave me. Thx.

As for Fatal Push, it's far too much of a price for me. In my country, that card is actually MORE expensive than the price tag here, while other cards like Liege of the Tangle and Ashling, the Extinguisher are cheaper. I really like the card, but i decided to leave it out since it's very costly.

I was on the bench in regards to Flamekin Bladewhirl, but decided to leave it out of the deck since i'm not really looking for early game aggression. Hellspark Elemental and Stigma Lasher, like Flamekin Bladewhirl, i think fits better in a more aggressive playstyle, which is not what this deck is aimed at.

Thanks for the feedback.

It's a sorcery but Rite of Consumption could be useful... Might be worth changing Smother for Fatal Push.

Elemental wise, Flamekin Bladewhirl seems like a decent 1 drop, I've always had a soft spot for Hellspark Elemental and Stigma Lasher...

Have you considered Spark Elemental? It's probably better than Flamekin Bladewhirl

So ou appear to be going for red/green landfall.

First of all, as a general rule, you shouldn't have more than two of a single legendary permanent in your deck. So that cuts one Mina and an Omnath. Second, can I recommend cutting Atarka, because you do not have any other dragons. Continuing with the landfall idea, maybe streamline more towards elementals, including cards like Satyr Nyx-Smith, Flamekin Bladewhirl, or Flamekin Harbinger for a tutor. I have a deck like this, except if focuses solely on abusing Omnath, Locus of Rage's abilities. My decklist is basically this;

Omnath, Locus of Rage x2

Flamekin Harbinger x4

Scourge of Skola Vale x3 --sacrifice is fun with Omnath

Generator Servant x3 -- Ramp

Pyretic Ritual x4 -- More Ramp

Heartlash Cinder x3 -- Later Game Push

Bloodbriar x2 -- Death Boosts

Rot Shambler x3 -- See Above

Explore x4 -- Ramp

Abundance x2 -- Land Search

Sylvan Scrying x3 -- Fetchland Search

Attune with Aether x3 -- Land Search

Blighted Woodland x3 -- double search

Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse x6 -- Cheap Fetchlands, can be replaced by more expensive ones if you want and don't have a budget

Myriad Landscape x4 -- Fun searching

Thawing Glaciers x3 -- and we thought the free search wasn't over yet :(

Assorted Basics x19 -- They are the fuel of the deck

I used to run this deck in the Lorwyn days. Elementals will always have a place in my heart, but the reason they have never been competitive is that any strategy with Flamekin Harbinger, Incandescent Soulstoke, and [insert changeling/elemental fatty here] is that it's too linear and you can see it coming from a mile away (Flamekin Harbinger puts it on your library, not into your hand). Sometimes you can get an opponent off guard the first time of game 1, but after that you need to change your strategy because It's so susceptible to removal.

Elementals need to go wide and use Incandescent Soulstoke as a lord to pump the crowd instead of fish out fatties that get removed.

I would cut down down on the following:

Flamekin Harbinger

Incandescent Soulstoke

Nova Chaser

Supreme Exemplar

And consider adding:

Flamekin Bladewhirl (better turn 1 aggro play than harbinger)

Flamekin Brawler (great mana sink for mid-late game Smokebraiders)

Inner-Flame Acolyte (cheap evoke to boost power)

Soulbright Flamekin (trample to your team and ramp)

Thunderblust (better option than nova chaser due to persist after you sac it from soulstoke)

Blades of Velis Vel (changeling/elemental spell to pump your team)

Upvote for Lorwyn. Best block ever!
