Flowers —June 26, 2019

Added Carpet of Flowers and took out Void Winnower. Void Winnower was good, and I liked having a 9-drop, but I'm gonna add it to a Yennet, Cryptic Sovereign deck I'm slowly throwing together

Hey man! I love the deck and just recently made my own based heavily on yours, so thanks for that!

I ended up slotting in a Patron of the Orochi since I had it lying around and wanted to see how silly it was with Seedborn Muse. It's a bit redundant, but helps with recovery when Yisan gets hated on. I added Yeva, Nature's Herald, still trying to determine if she's needed or not. Did you ever playtest with her?

I added a few more recursion cards, such as Regrowth and Reclaim. Just helped a bit more in my play group.

Again, awesome deck.

That's really awesome to hear that you modeled your deck after mine! Most "standard" Yisan decks run a fair amount of elves but I always thought it was fun to kick it up a notch. I don't feel I run enough to make things like Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, Drove of Elves, or Imperious Perfect quite worth it, but it's nice to have elf synergy beyond Priest of Titania tapping for 2.

I have a Yeva, Nature's Herald but took her out early on. I was just never excited to see her in my hand. Flashing in fatties obviously has its perks though.

Yeah, Regrowth et al are great. Sometimes there are cards that one just wishes weren't singletons and recursion can help with that.

Quest for Renewal is a must IMO.

Skillville, it used to be in for a long time but I replaced it with Seedborn Muse once Battlebond dropped, as it's tutor-able.

Thanks for the upvote and comment!
