Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and Utopia Sprawl —Oct. 9, 2017
Lotus Cobra and Genesis Hydra is out.
Cobra does not provide a sufficiently stable ramp in this deck, Utopia Sprawl looks a lot more fast, stable and safe ramp spell. So Utopia Sprawl is in.
Genesis Hydra is a good creature with interesting triggered ability, but it seems to me, that Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger will bring the necessary element of mana denial/double in the deck. So I added him for testing.

Hi TheRedGoat! And thank you for upvote!
Well, actually, the control tag is here because when the deck was created it run more cards for control. But even now the deck contains a very decent number of cards for board control. But I like your idea for changing it to midrange tag.

Nice deck! I'd recommend switching the Norwood Priestess for an Elvish Piper though. The Piper can be used whenever you want, while the priestess' ability only works during your own turn.

Thanks NV_1980!
Elvish Piper was in the deck, and it's a good card. The reason why I use Norwood Priestess instead of Elvish Piper is the difference in speed. Priestess can be activated faster than Piper. Another reason is that Priestess is much more convenient to use with untappers (Quirion Ranger and Wirewood Lodge for example), because you dont need an additional mana for reuse of its ability. And a little bonus - Priestess has in its mana cost for devotion (Karametra's Acolyte, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx).
But I do like Elvish Piper, and I would like to use both of them, Piper and Priestess, I will think about it.

So I'm confused on where the control tag is correct here. You're not exactly playing Bramblecrush types of cards, so aren't you more midrange?
