The Money Upgrades —April 23, 2018

Right now because I don't have a dedicated playgroup I'm holding off on the bigger things. Ideally in the future I can make these changes:

Kambal, Consul of Allocation to Tymna the Weaver (Check)

Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts to Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite (Check)

Always Watching (Probably) to Attrition

Caves of Koilos or Esper Panorama or Basic Land to Fetid Heath

Basic Land to Godless Shrine

Swamp to Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Swiftfoot Boots to Lightning Greaves

Orzhov Signet or Commander's Sphere to Chromatic Lantern

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog to Erebos, God of the Dead

I'd also like to add Westvale Abby if only for the bonus legend. If I add that, I might add Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. Assuming it doesn't dilute my fixing, I'd love to add Vault of the Archangel as well.

I would take out Blinding Angel, unless you have one person in the group who runs ground aggro. For the most part, the combat phase of other players is inconsequential.

I would also take out Isamaru, Hound of Konda. Just because he's legendary, doesn't mean that he's worth putting in the 99. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite would be better, as she is on flavor with pumping up your creatures.

Blinding Angel is most def gonna get axed for Lyra Dawnbringer or Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle once we get a more stable price on them. I liked the concept, but both of those cards work better with the theme.

Thanks for reminding me to see if there were other one-drop legends in my colors. I'm gonna save myself five dollars and pop Isamaru out for Kytheon, Hero of Akros  Flip.

As for Elesh Norn, she definitely will have a spot once I know how Teysa runs. The latter is meant to be my late game beater, but if she can't fulfill that roll, I'll spring for Elesh Norn.

Thanks for the input! I'm gonna drop a help thread soon to iron out other details.

just an FYI playing an artifact land wont untap Traxos, Scourge of Kroog. That dude says "cast an historic spell" and you don't cast lands

Sword of the Animist might be worth it

I really like 2 mana rocks over three mana ones. Unless that three mana rock makes 2 or more mana i'm not sure its better. With that in mind maybe swap Orzhov Cluestone to Mind Stone, Worn Powerstone, Coalition Relic or something similar?

Maybe add an creature package that would benifit from Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle ability? something like a Fleshbag Marauder or sac outlets in general like Attrition?

Tymna the Weaver seems great! Drawing cards in any deck is like the best thing ever

I've been swapping all my Akroma's Vengeance's for Hour of Revelation, and i've been happy with it.

There's a lot of ETB tapped / lands that could help the mana base, don't forget Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse and Esper Panorama for more budget mana fixing

I think if when you're playing this deck and notice you're running out of cards something like Promise of Power, Ancient Craving or Read the Bones would be helpfull.

Awesome deck! I hope you have fun playing it!!!
