Alechilles on Selesnya's Horde (Current)

I think i've decided not to use Voice of Resurgence , becuase it just doesn't seem worth the price. I managed to get my hands on all the Advent of the Wurm s that i needed as well as 4 Sunpetal Grove . After I get 2 Temple Garden from my friend i will be removing the 3x Selesnya Guildgate for 2x Forest and 1x Plains and possibly replacing Grove of the Guardian with Gavony Township . Im also debating removing Wayfaring Temple to add 1 more Intangible Virtue , Centaur Healer , and Rootborn Defenses or Gavony Township .

Hey thanks for commenting on my deck!

For yours, after playing a bit in the playtester, something feels off about the lands... I could have just been extremely unlucky but I never seemed to actually draw both lands and mana dorks to ramp up quickly. And honestly, I've never needed them through the playests, and with only a 1.86 Avg. CMC (2 after my changes) 8 of them seems a lot like overkill. Personally I would take out 2 of the Arbor Elf , and would put 2 of the Loxodon Smiter in as well. 3 for 4/4 is efficient by itself and while it's abilities are only going to be good vs a deck with counter or discard... the fact that its 3 mana for 4 is efficient enough that I feel like it would work really well in most G/W mainboards. A 2 turn 4 drop can be a huge swing in your favor.

Also, through play I found Abundant Growth lackluster, I get it is to power ethereal armor but I feel like taking it out and switching the lands around to 9x Forest 7x Plains and 4x Selesnya Guildgate (I get they aren't the best but they do work for fixing needing a color, and are cheap at $.40 each and can be replaced by Temple Garden s or Sunpetal Grove s if/when you get them, both of which would speed up the deck if you do get them) overall makes the deck flow better mana wise after playing through some in the playtester.

@kwinterstern: Avacyn's Pilgrim lets him play a turn two Domri Rade or Boros Reckoner . It's stronger than Arbor Elf in a deck like this where there's less than a dozen Forest s.

I can use those fetches because I can only pull a Forest , Mountain or a Stomping Ground (hopefully a Taiga soon). You can't fetch for colors that aren't in your Commander's colors.

True to what NeoHazard said. Getting in the Arbor Elf , you have turn 2 a CMC of 3, in this case Wild Beastmaster .

T1 - Forest , Arbor Elf T2 - Burning-Tree Emissary , Flinthoof Boar and/or Wild Beastmaster T3 - ouch

Turn 1: Swamp , play Death's Shadow and send it to the graveyard

Turn 2: Forest , play Lotleth Troll

Turn 3: land, play Varolz, the Scar-Striped

Turn 4: land, scavenge Death's Shadow on Lotleth Troll and attack with a 15/14 trample

You're right, until turn 4 you can't scavenge it, but with Dark Ritual you could achieve doing it at Turn 3 ;)

sylvannos on Which Deck Should I Invest ...

2 days ago

Here's what I would do then, with a budget of ~$50:

(it's your Simic deck with red)

4x Arbor Elf
4x Cloudfin Raptor
4x Ghor-Clan Rampager
4x Experiment One
4x Predator Ooze
4x Strangleroot Geist
4x Burning-Tree Emissary
2x Ulvenwald Tracker
============================
30 Creatures

3x Simic Charm
4x Searing Spear
============================
7 Other Spells

4x Breeding Pool
4x Hinterland Harbor
4x Stomping Ground
4x Rootbound Crag
7x Forest
============================
23 Lands

4x Skullcrack
3x Pillar of Flame
2x Volcanic Strength
2x Negate
1x Silklash Spider
2x Naturalize
1x Grafdigger's Cage
============================
15 Sideboard Cards

The goal is to smash face with Predator Ooze and get fast evolve triggers on turn two (Cloudfin Raptor or Experiment One into multiple Burning-Tree Emissary ). Ulvenwald Tracker and Searing Spear clear out any blockers, with the sideboard offering strong cards against graveyard recursion, other red decks, and control.

You'll notice I didn't add anything expensive to the deck, except the lands. Lands are always good to have, since you'll need Ravnica shock lands or Innistrad duals in almost every deck you play. Having a solid mana base available will let you play a plethora of decks. They also see play in Modern, which means buying duals now will be a decent investment since you'll probably use them a few years down the road.

I would take the Emrakul, the Aeons Torn s, Doubling Chant s, and Biomantic Mastery s. In their place, I would put in 3x Nissa's Chosen , 3x Forest , and 3x Golgari Decoy (for being an elf), or 3x Shinen of Life's Roar (for being cheap).
