Tuning —Aug. 23, 2018

Although not a true cEDH deck, I pull this out and have decent success against my local cEDH meta. I'd love any suggestions and feedback on how to optimize the deck, so have at it!

So I'm considering my options and am tempted to cut Seer's Sundial in favour of Ifh-Biff Efreet.

Thoughts?

Hall of Gemstone seems crucial to mono green control.

Bind no one see's it coming.

Hall of Gemstone is certainly interesting... I may give that a try. I need to playtest this more before tinkering with it further.

Thanks. Hum of the Radix is neat

I seriously considered City of Solitude, but it shuts off my ability to fog, which is a key defensive strategy. Drop of Honey is way too costly to buy and play.

Some of your suggestions like Arboria, I already play

Interesting deck. I never played monogreen, so I unfortunately lack experience in this color sheme, but it's the first time I'm seeing a pseudo-tax in monogreen that tries to mass fireball everyone!!! This looks terribly fun :P

A few questions that could raise updates:

  • Your list seems focused on dropping as much lands as possible, thus is 35 lands enough? Do you have moment where you draw just a few lands but have many "extra-drop lands" cards?

  • Preferred Selection seems overcosted (4 manas to cast) just for a semi-Sylvan Library, isn't it?

  • Nature's Wrath seems also overcosted (6 manas) for something that affects only U an B players. But maybe your meta is plenty of them?

  • Zendikar Resurgent with only 16 creatures? I would instead use Mana Reflection.

Suggestions:

  • Tangle is a fog I really like. It lets your opponent unprotected against other players that could take their chance with an open path. It helps distract attention away from you.

  • You should play Sol Ring at all cost, except for some weird theme reason, and even if you add Null Rod to your list (which is a really strong car against common manarocks and pesty artifact players -like me :p- )

  • Doubling Cube of course with this deck's strategy.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll keep them in mind for sure.

You're right in assuming that a couple of these cards are meta specific (Nature's Wrath).

n0bunga, I'm curious to see what kind of mono green stax you come up with.

n0bunga did you ever brew up a spicy Mono-Green Stax list?

I'm thinking of cutting Lifegift to add Song of the Dryads instead. Anyone have any thoughts?

What do people think about the addition of Recross the Paths?

Ender666666 says... #11

So, since Devotion plays a role in the deck, I've decided to add Primalcrux as a massive beater. Thoughts? I'm also considering adding Boseiju, Who Shelters All

If you need ramp cards, I would play Wood Elves or Skyshroud Claim before Recross the Paths.

Primal Crux? I don't know. I like Worldspine Wurm and Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar for this job. But maybe your list needs a lower cmc card.

Ender666666 says... #13

After giving it some thought, I agree that Primalcrux should be replaced by Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar

What about Archetype of Endurance for more creature protection and another Enchantment, cutting Praetor's Counsel which has been a dead card some of the times I draw it?

I saw your comment on On Nom Trample. I love seeing your decks whenever I see your name. Anways, Survival of the Fittest to help you get the creature you need, its an enchantment and works well with genesis.

Yavimaya Hollow - Regen and another land target

Genesis Wave - GWAVE

Perhaps snow covered plains + scrying sheets.
