Subtheme Added —Nov. 16, 2017
After several plays of this deck I like the play of the current version, but I quickly identified a possible sub theme I could work into the deck as the deck can be shut down easily with removal of Hapatra.
Since Hapatra needs extra evasion to get in, I decided to up some of the unblockability in the deck to help her get through more often, and added some new threats that go along with this new theme, namely Phage the Untouchable.
Removed:
1 Forest 1 City of Brass 1 Khalni Garden 1 Birthing Pod 1 Wretched Confluence 1 Grim Affliction 1 Protean Hulk 1 Soul of New Phyrexia 1 Tireless Tracker 1 Nightsoil 1 Diabolic Intent
Lands were removed for more efficient lands. Birthing pod was removed as the deck doesn't flow well into it and usually it just flounders.Grim Affliction was removed and Kodama's Reach returned in its place. Diabolic Intent was removed as I haven't been able to get one yet, and I feel the deck can run without it. Protean Hulk and Tireless Tracker were removed because I don't really have anything for them to play off of in the current build and felt they were under performing. Soul of New Phyrexia was removed for similar reasons and I needed to remove a creature in the 6 drop spot to make room for Phage. Nightsoil was removed for underperforming, replaced with Growing Rites of Itlimoc.
Added: Growing Rites of Itlimoc Dauthi Embrace Kodama's Reach Riding the Dilu Horse Blooming Marsh Hissing Quagmire Westvale Abby Carnifex Demon Banewhip Punisher Phage the Untouchable Vraska, Relic Seeker
Growing Rites added because 2 cradles are better than 1. Kodama's Reach returned as I felt the ramp was actually needed. Dauthi Embrace and Riding the Dilu Horse added for more unblockability. Carnifex Demon and Banewhip Punisher added to help with -1/-1 theme. Phage added for extra win condition with all the unblockable goodness. Vraska added because, why not?
