More Budget = More Updates —Dec. 2, 2019

After a lot of games, hoping to arrange the mana curve better and having saved up more budget to improve this deck these are the changes that I have made:

Added: Circuitous Route, Demonic Tutor, Dragonlord Dromoka, God-Eternal Oketra, Golgari Guildgate, Heroic Intervention, Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper, Primal Rage, Selesnya Guildgate & Slagwurm Armor.

Removed: Asceticism, Blossoming Sands, Cloudcrown Oak, Diabolic Tutor, Eerie Interlude, Ensouled Scimitar, Explosive Vegetation, Jungle Hollow, Orchard Warden & Sun Titan

Thanks to all of you who suggested these cards!

since you're updating lately from throne of eldraine how about Crashing Drawbridge ?

@sigiledwatch - aside from a possible Zetalpa, Primal Dawn haste attack with Crashing Drawbridge , then Tainted Strike , it's pretty situational.. It might be better on token strategies.. Plus, it can't attack unless Assault Formation is in the battlefield, and i pay 1 green mana for it to attack.. but thanks for the suggestion!

Do you get mana screwed? I think you need 1-2 more lands

you can replace Explosive Vegetation with Circuitous Route , and replace Blossoming Sands and Jungle Hollow for guild gates that can be more effective to ramp with the aforementioned Circuitous Route . for this 3-color deck, Golgari Guildgate , Selesnya Guildgate and Orzhov Guildgate .

@mylene800 - i get what you're saying, and I do, sometimes.. my problem is, i currently don't have in mind what card to replace 1-2 lands with.. but thanks for noticing, I'll just keep on playing this deck until i feel that a couple of cards can be replaced with lands. Thanks!

@megantrongriffin13 - hmm.. that's interesting.. it does have a more significant effect on mana fixing than gaining that 1 life.. but based on the number of color percentage, i might only include Golgari Guildgate and Selesnya Guildgate .. Thanks for the advice!

@jakenickel - ouch! sorry, but aside from being expensive, those card would only draw hate from all players on the table, especially Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger .. thanks for the suggestion anyway..

@lola82600 - Thanks for the suggestions.. If you can check the older version of this deck thru the updates, i had Ghostly Prison in this deck before.. I cut it because, every time I play it, it doesn't feel like it doesn't belong in a creature majority deck like mine.. I'd rather pillowfort using high toughness creatures, and making opponents think twice in attacking me.. The other 2 suggestions can be useful though, but it feels less effective if i replace other creatures in the deck already..

@ZXddgsw12 - I think, although this deck is creature-based deck, it doesn't benefit as much as it would a token deck.. plus I can't replace any of the cards for it, I might include Primal Rage rather than that.. but thanks anyway for the suggestions!

No problem. Also, you need more finishers to this deck. Aside from Tainted Strike + Zetalpa, Primal Dawn . You can add Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and Dragonlord Dromoka as possible replacements for zetalpa.

Cloud777 has a point. You can also add sorcery finishers, such as Exsanguinate or Torment of Hailfire ..

@Cloud777 - Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper might be included once I update this deck soon.. I'm not sure about Dragonlord Dromoka though.. It's a bit expensive.. but thanks again for the suggestions!

@vehiclemaster - I had Exsanguinate before in this deck, but i removed it since i rarely use it even before as a finisher.. but should I feel that I rarely win due to lacking finishers, I might add it back or Torment of Hailfire or both.. thanks!

@VEILofAUTUMN - I prefer Swiftfoot Boots over Lightning Greaves for this particular deck, since i have spells that i need to target my creature/s. I also prefer Serra's Blessing and Brave the Sands over Cathar's Shield and Accorder's Shield , since it harder to remove enchantments than artifacts and both enchantments covers my whole board.. Slagwurm Armor though might replace my Ensouled Scimitar .. So far, when I play, I rarely use its activated ability, and Slagwurm Armor has lower cmc to put in the battlefield, which opens for more mana to cast other spells.. Thanks for the suggestions!

Maze of Ith and Demonic Tutor are some good card i think. if you can spare the extra budget for them.

also Council's Judgment is expensive, but fun card for removal politics.
