This deck was originally created for an event at my shop but has evolved into one of my favorite decks to play. I love the mix of early and late game which makes the deck feel relevant at all stages of the came. I've stayed away from degenerative combo's and feel that the deck is at a nice power level for my playgroup.

Right now, I'm looking at some changes:

• Mana base. I think I need a few more blue sources. However, I am trying to maximize the number of untapped lands while keeping enough plains to reliably trigger Emeria Shepherd .

• Exchanging some weaker players for more high impact cards. Ex. Scavenging Ooze for Consecrated Sphinx . This is hard because I don't really have graveyard hate otherwise and this deck has a subtheme of small creatures ( Ojutai's Command , Recruiter of the Guard , etc).
