extion says... #1

Thanks for the suggestions, ChiuChiuSan!

I've been away from the site for about three weeks, but I've been able to play-test a lot more. I've made some decent changes, but I'll definitely be trying some of your suggestions as well. And, I'll update the deck with my current changes in the next couple days.

However, I am really considering splashing black into the deck. With more spoilers coming out with RTR, it's looking like GB is going to be really strong. I'm not too sure about adding Rise from the Grave , but it might be a good idea if I can get some better ramp. I definitely want to add Borderland Ranger as you suggest to fix my mana, or something that will help put land into the battlefield quicker.

I'm also thinking about using Deadly Allure to make my tokens more useful. And, splashing back would also allow me to use Disentomb instead of Revive , freeing up an extra mana.

But, what I'm really excited about using in black would be Undying Evil ! Can you imagine using it on Thragtusk when an opponent tries destroying it, and profiting a 3/3 Beast token and 5 life, and getting my 5/3 creature back with a +1/+1 counter? I'll also have the option to Cloudshift him again, removing the counters, and allowing me to do the whole thing over again! That's 10 life and TWO 3/3 beasts for only two mana! And, if I have a card:Garruk's Packleader on the filed, I'll also be drawing FOUR cards!

The best thing about this deck is being able to use the Fiend Hunter and Cloudshift trickery by exiling two creatures if I Cloudshift my Fiend Hunter immediately after casting him. You can also do this at the end of your turn using Cloudshift after card:Conjurer's Closet's ability on your Fiend Hunter .

I'm also considering Unburial Rites since having black, but I'm unsure if I'll even have the room for it. But, yeah, these are just a few of my ideas since I've been gone.
