Tallowhacking 2.0

A Green/White take on my original Tallowhacking, which evolves around Tallowisp, Auras, and various synergetic cards like Eidolon of Countless Battles or (not in this list) Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription + Geist of Saint Traft .

Gift of Immortality softlocks

Powerful combos that happen to fit both the Aura as well as the Spirit theme of this deck.They can be improved with the new and dandy Eidolon of Blossoms to let you draw a card each time!

• Gift of Immortality + Rootrunner : Fallow Earth each turn! So if you have GGGG, you can slowly Plow Under all your opponent's lands.
• Gift of Immortality + Kami of False Hope : The bane of aggro decks!

Card advantage

As we know, using Auras is a risky 2-for-1 thing. Luckily, this deck has many ways to get extra cards to even out the risk that comes with removal.
Also there's Totem Armor from Hyena Umbra and Bear Umbra as a protective layer against non-exiling spells.

• Keen Sense + Lantern Kami : DIY Thieving Magpie
• Kor Spiritdancer + Auras
• Eidolon of Blossoms + Gift of Immortality (See above. Of course also works with any other enchantment)
• Karametra's Favor + Tallowisp : Any spirit gives you an aura with this one out, but KF can be notably useful if you need other cards and/or mana.
• Elder Pine of Jukai : One reason why this deck has 24 lands.
• Sage's Reverie: Potential for both a great power boost and cheap card advantage.

Current status

The deck is still under construction. Eidolon of Blossoms started it,
F*ck this block and its 96% drafting-only pool of cards... my high hopes awakened by an awesome Greek setting was crushed by a supbar powerlevel and limited-only keywords. Heliod be damned.

So far I'm pretty happy I was able to turn a good amount of otherwise unplayed or uncommon cards into a decent deck.

The lands can still be optimized for sure.
