I am happy to hear that!

I don't see a place for World Shaper in this deck, but if you're interested in trying it'd have to replace either Sidisi, Brood Tyrant or Spring-Leaf Avenger. You'll likely turn the deck into a glass canon with it and mill yourself to death on turn ten, but perhaps your Urborg Lhurgoyf will be so uber buff that you can make it work.

There'll definately be more budget decks in the future as well.

Hunter's Prowess card draw ideas.

Hunter's Insight

Garruk's Uprising

Rishkar's Expertise .

I would cut the cultivate effects for creatures that ramp like your Llanowar Elves there are plenty of 1 drops that tap for mana. Or 2 drops that have more utility then a mana dork. .

Slippery Bogbonder protection idea .

Cool cards

Nature's Way Removal

Gemrazer removal

Spring-Leaf Avenger regrowth on a creature

Inscription of Abundance Removal or pump with options

Higher budget stuff to maybe look at.

Guardian Project

Beast Whisperer

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild

Pathbreaker Ibex

Ancestral Mask

seshiro_of_the_orochi I completely forgot that Shigeki, Jukai Visionary had that ability! I'll definitely be slotting him in. Spring-Leaf Avenger seems like a really cool card too! I am already running Gravebreaker Lamia and she's been great in the deck. I have a Skullwinder or two that I picked up in a Baldur's gate draft. I've only hesitated with that one because I don't like giving my opponents their choice of cards as well. I guess I could always save it until I lay down a Bojuka Bog though haha

TheOfficialCreator, I am currently trying to figure out what to cut to slot in Nyx Weaver. Refining deck lists is definitely the hardest part of deck building.

These are all super helpful suggestions. Thank you all!

Loosing non-creatures is a usual topic with these strategies. One way around it is to play as few of those card as possible. As you're asking for recursion ideas, Timeless Witness is basically a second E-Wit, and Skullwinder is also not far off. A card I really like is Spring-Leaf Avenger, and bouncing an attacking Nethroi to mutate out again seems pretty useful. What's more, how about Shigeki, Jukai Visionary? He seems to do everything you wish for, and he even has a power small enough so you can abuse him with Nethroi.

WhiteEagle_12, thank you for your advice, as you can see I have taken some of it. I removed Ant Queen as I originally leaned on it as a way to sink mana once I was generating large amounts. However I replaced bot Ant Queen and Elvish Mystic with Sakura-Tribe Scout and Spring-Leaf Avenger. This has shifted the focus of the deck slightly, however I kept both scute cards as they have such god benefit from large amounts of land. I also picked up Reclaim the Wastes and Caravan Vigil. The fact that these weren't already in my deck shows how little of the cardpool I am familiar with. I am considering adding Overrun to capitalize on my scute cards, but I feel with a large source of creatures removed this is a rather weak win condition. Overall I am very conflicted on whether or not I lean into this and trust that Overrun will allow me to win, or to find another way to use my setup to win.

Regardless of my wishy-washy feelings your advice has been deeply appreciated. :)

This actually looks pretty solid. I would replace Ant Queen with either Hornet Queen or maybe Hornet Nest. However, if you want to keep that 5 CMC from Ant Queen, I would recommend replacing it with Spring-Leaf Avenger. Another thing, you seem to want a lot of little guys, but it doesn't look like you have anything to capitalize on them. A good card for that is Overrun.

nbarry223 on Best Fae of Wishes Targets?

I'm looking for a list of what people would think are fun and exciting Fae of Wishes targets. This can be anything from Hidden Strings which uses the creature's evasion to its advantage, to something like Worship which makes you immortal provided you have a creature out. You can even have a convoluted suggestion like Summoner's Pact into Spring-Leaf Avenger to further utilize the card's evasion through ninjutsu.

I'm mainly looking for cards that don't typically see a lot of play, and am particularly interested in alternate win-cons like Approach of the Second Sun or Nexus of Fate. I'm also looking for build around suggestions. For example, I've recently found Power Conduit which can make any saga into something pretty broken, and has great relevance with persist/undying, or even being able to play through Chalice of the Void (yours or your opponents). It also makes things like Wall of Roots into pretty epic advantage generators.

There are no color or mana restrictions here, just looking for some novel ideas. Bonus points if it is something relevant in specific matches, like Worship is against RDW variants, and can actually be sided in, when Fae of Wishes is sided out.

I'm actually thinking Spring-Leaf Avenger has awesome synergy with Fae of Wishes and even Primeval Titan, but I think it falls into the realm of win-more unfortunately. If I had more little fliers or something, I could definitely see it making its way into here.

Figured I'd mention it since it was fairly good in testing, but not really good enough to include.
