Ethereal Haze is another fog type spell that stops all creature damage for the turn. I also can't believe you didn't include Pause for Reflection.

So you missed some stuff you should definitely fit in: Blessed Respite, Encircling Fissure, Knight-Captain of Eos, and Slaughter the Strong. Similarly, Blunt the Assault seems like a must given your lack of life gain and your wincon requiring a large life total. I'd also look into more life gain in general.

Clinging Mists, Druid's Deliverance, Frontline Strategist (especially to increase the Eos synergy), Inspire Awe, Obscuring Haze, Pause for Reflection, Spike Weaver, and Spore Flower are also worth considering.

Gotcha. The 2 cuts I had in mind were Destiny Spinner, because it's not an Elf, and Primeval Light, which I thought at first I would need more than I've found that I do. Furthermore, Elvish Herder is an elf, and that alone makes it worthwhile. For that matter, it's the same reason I chose it over Stampede Driver (not to mention that I have absolutely zero problem coming up with that one green mana to activate it).

However, I do have a lot of fog in here. I put so many in there just to make certain that I draw one or two of them during the course of the game. But I can probably do without one. So here's what I'm going to do for now, and then I'll playtest:

• OUT: Destiny Spinner, Primeval Light, Pause for Reflection & one Forest

• IN: Lithoform Engine, Strionic Resonator, Bellowing Tanglewurm & Bonders' Enclave

Thanks again! We'll see how this does.

I am hardly a spike, so if I say something stupid, forgive me. That said, your choice in fogs seems a little... suboptimal?

Angelsong and Haze of Pollen can draw you a card if you don't need the fog. Ethereal Haze , Holy Day , and Pause for Reflection are all cheaper than Dawn Charm and Clinging Mists (and really, when is Fateful Hour gonna be active?). Winds of Qal Sisma and Defend the Hearth are one-sided wraths.

I'd cut Hunting Triad , Llanowar Scout , Sprouting Renewal , Blunt the Assault , Defend the Hearth , Fog , Pause for Reflection , and Root Snare fogs aren't as good as you think. It just buys you a turn without dealing with any threats

Hey buddy, why to run Pause for Reflection over Root Snare ?

Thanks spacecoyote1313. Yes, Root Snare is cheaper, but I like that, with Convoke, Pause for Reflection may only cost me 1 mana since I'm playing a lot of creatures. And I like the Hexproof part of Blinding Fog .
