Small Changes —July 24, 2017

Just a few changes made over the past few weeks:

Song of the Dryads + Imprisoned in the Moon ---> Pongify + Bane of Progress: i really enjoy the two enchantments and they perform alright. However the deck cares more about instants and ETB creatures. The deck felt like it needed another sweeper and large beater and Bane of Progress fits the bill for both of those.

Reclamation Sage ---> Reclaim: With the addition of Bane of Progress, the deck has a ton of answers for artifacts and enchantments. It doesn't have a lot of recursion though. Reclaim fits nicely in this category as it can be cast in response to Rashmi's trigger. Thanks to encelade for reminding me about this card.

Plasm Capture ---> Dissolve: 4 mana felt a bit much for counterspell (unless it's modal like Cryptic Command). The deck doesn't care that much about one shot of mana. The scry ability of Dissolve at least somewhat synergizes with Rashmi.

I'm confused how the Tutors work with Rashmi? If you cast it before your turn, you draw it as normal. If you cast it during your turn, you have to reveal the top card before you can search your library, because you just cast a spell, right? Is there something I'm missing here?

nawks you cast the tutor in response to Rashmi's trigger so that you can set up what she sees on top of the library.

For example, I cast Acidic Slime and then immediately cast Worldly Tutor. I then search my library and put Venser, Shaper Savant on top. Rashmi then sees that Venser is on top and casts him for free.

Hope this clarifies it

Hi, Thanks for the great deck and primer. I've been playing your deck online for a while now, and I feel that during long games I am running out of steam and need some graveyard recursion. I have added Reclaim which is cheap and helps get key cards back to our hand. Any thoughts ? To make our creatures more resilient I have replaced Swiftfoot Boots by Asceticism. Finally, have you been happy with Verdurous Gearhulk in this deck ? I am tempted to remove it for another tutor ( Eldrich Evolution ) or card draw ( Rhystic Study). In any case, I am looking forward to see how your deck evolve with time, it's a lot of fun to play.
