king-saproling on What My Own Magic Card Would Be

2 years ago

Kyler seems really strong. Thoughts on these cards? Slippery Bogbonder, Crashing Drawbridge, Sylvok Explorer, Channeler Initiate, Drover of the Mighty, Harabaz Druid, Whisperer of the Wilds, Maja, Bretagard Protector, Reverent Hoplite, Visions of Glory, Vanquisher's Banner, Elemental Bond, Mosswort Bridge, Windbrisk Heights

I love this Ape tribal deck!

My only criticism is that you don't have enough human fodder for Kogla, the Titan Ape since he's one of your main forms of removal in your deck. You've only got Eternal Witness.

I was thinking maybe you could replace your Llanowar Tribe with Karametra's Acolyte or Citanul Hierophants ? Not only do they offer the potential for much more green mana per tap than the Tribe, they also are humans for Kogla to toss back.

Elfhame Druid could be replaced with Somberwald Sage which would actually net you 1 more mana for casting Kogla and 2 more mana all the time for other creatures.

You could also replace Sakura-Tribe Elder with Diligent Farmhand . While not as good as a one-off as the Elder it does fill the same chump block and sac for a land niche, it counts as an extra pump for the jank pump spell Muscle Burst which is mega flavor, and is a human for Kogla to toss. There's also Krosan Wayfarer which has the downside of only getting a land from hand rather than tutor or Primal Druid which has to die from the combat but at least lets you tutor.

I know you are probably using Llanowar Elves for an early play and ramp, but if you didn't need that extra (G) per tap you could replace it with Drumhunter which gives you needed card draw, a colorless mana per tap, and is a human for Kogla to toss. Some less good options but still ok since they're lower CMC than Drumhunter is Werebear , Honored Hierarch , Harvester Druid , Sylvok Explorer , or Humble Naturalist .

If you need a ramp creature to combo off with look no further than Hope Tender , Juniper Order Druid , Ley Druid , or Krosan Restorer to untap a land that produces big mana or Hidden Herbalists which would actually combo off of Kogla's tossback if you have something that could benefit from ETB's.

There's also Setessan Petitioner which would allow you repeated lifegain on ETB if you needed it.

This is a cool idea! You might like these: Everdream , Psychic Puppetry , Drover of the Mighty , Paradise Druid , Quirion Explorer , Sylvok Explorer , Sprout Swarm , Triplicate Spirits .

Tallowisp could be fun with a small suite of auras like Coalition Flag , Fractured Loyalty , Fertile Ground , Trace of Abundance , Elemental Resonance .

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Maybe I'll add a tutor later on, but so far my list still has 1 card too much, so I'll first focus on finding what to cut.

Mizzazzi Regarding switching Sylvok Explorer for Sylvan Caryatid, I don't own Sylvan Caryatid, I do have Beastcaller Savant, but that's only mana for creatures... do you think I should replace one with the other? (with 30 creatures atm it should still prove pretty usefull)Or is Sylvok Explorer the card I should cut? I also own Elvish Mystic, Zhur-Taa Druid and Radha, Heir to Keld

+1 for the good Idea! Id honestly Have to say that not only do I agree with most everything said above, Maybe work with some more tutors to get creatures and even enchantments you might need also while the only card I think needs to be cut or more like replaced is Conqueror's Flail as it the same as Grand Abolisher who is recurable with Alesha yes the boost in p/t is good but it caps at 4 since you run a 4 color deck so eh. Aura Shards might also have a spot here as well as cutting Sylvok Explorer for Sylvan Caryatid which is stictly better and dosent restrict you like the Explorer does

I have taken out:

Oath of Gideon because I'm not playing Ally tribal and only have 4 planeswalkers, of the Oaths in the deck it seemed much less usefull than the others.

Putrefy is a good removal spell, but I think I still have enough removal in the deck even after removing it. The reason I cut this one is that except for Beast Within, which is stronger, all other removal can be tutored by Sunforger

I also removed Vizkopa Guildmage, I love that card but it doesn't do much for the deck... I needed to cut some more cards so it had to go.

I still need to cut one more card, I'm hesitating to cut Call the Gatewatch or Sylvok Explorer. Let me know what you think! Obviously you can also point out another card that you feel shouldn't be in the deck or tell me to lower my land count.
