I think Desecration Plague is better than Demolish, since it can hit enchantment creatures

Your manabase needs fixing, you need 14 sources to consistently hit 1 green on turn 1.you have 5 forest and 4 stomping ground so that's only 9 untapped sources on turn 1Maybe upgrade this to 12/13/14 untapped sources

True, hitting that 1 green mostly up until now was probably good luck. I like your idea and made it 13 untapped sources. I think it would be a lot more consistent on the mana ramp this way.

So, I skimmed through and didn't see anyone else point out something about Wasteland Viper being used as dizzzyme says.. "he can get around magma jet on his elf or chump block to get rid of a big creature" Well, he can get around Magma Jet on his elf if the elf is attacking. And sure, you can chump with the Viper itself.. But it seems like you're saying you can chump with the Elf and use the Viper.. That's not how Bloodrush works. Bloodrush only works on attacking creatures. That card doesn't belong anywhere near this deck lol. Also, Frenzied Tilling is CMC 5. Do you really want LD fighting for the 5-slot with Stormbreath Dragon ?

You need something to deal with decks like Jund that thrive on 3-4 drops and run accelerators. T3-4's consisting of a pair of threats like Reaper of the Wilds , Polukranos, World Eater , Arbor Colossus , and the aforementioned Desecration Demon seem very hard for you to beat. They just have more fat than you, and hard removal for your fat when you drop it, and they can function off 2-3 lands, given their mana dorks, just like you could. Maybe some number of Clan Defiance in your sideboard? It's a potential finisher, effective with the mana you can hit, and removal for those pesky 5+toughness creatures.

I just swapped 2 Chandras for 2 Courser of Kruphix as her main objective was to get usable cards in my hand. And this leaves me with a replenishing 4 life as hers is gone quickly. Viper really did have no place and I never really used it, it was sided for a bit but never tohught it useful. Frenzied Tilling was only in here early when there was limited LD cards. It hasn't seen play in a coons age.

Clan Defiance Would be good as I seem to be able to get up to 10+ mana. Its a good kill spell and good for straight player damage all in one go.

@EmperorRancor First off, great tag, giving the Croc trample and swinging with him on T3 was too good.

But! Never happen.. They wouldn't have printed it in Conspiracy if it was going to come out in M15. =( Decimate would be sick in the current meta, though.

4 dragons. usually when they're land locked you swing out with elves or a monstrous Ember Swallower . Dragons are just there for power and the turn 3 drop and making them pee themselves.

This deck looks really fun, but are there any alternatives to Stormbreath Dragon ? I'm kind of a cheapskate and don't wanna drop 40 bucks on a playset right now :P Thanks!

Hows it look post rotation?

yak300 says... #16

I would say the era of land destruction came to an end with the new rotation...the only land hate we got now is Desecration Plague and Demolish . That makes 8 Land hate cards, not counting Spiteful Blow as it is way too expensive and off colors. The missing "destroy noncreature permanent" of Bramblecrush leaves this deck more vulnerable to i.e. planeswalkers and the Encroaching Wastes cannot be replaced. So unless there is more land hate to come with the new editions, I would say it's no longer playable in standard for the moment.

Now that this deck would be good as a Modern deck, we can include Ajani Vengeant ! :D The last ability would be great for this deck.

With enough mana, perhaps Anger of the Gods + Kamahl, Fist of Krosa?

April 6, 2015 2:26 a.m.

Perhaps rootbound crag in place of stomping grounds? I for one don't like paying life

None of my games every really would have changed for the 2 damage I took early. It was always a steamroll and we all knew the outcome by turn 5. Or mono blue/black control made me wait 30 min to get their AEtherling. Most of those I should have just walked away. They were never fun.

Monogreen was good if they got their ramp first, those games were me either losing or clearing the board with overloaded Mizzium Mortars.
