Basically Dropped 2 AEtherlings, 1 doom blade, 2 dark betrayal, 1 jace, memory adept, and 2 sphere of safety. added 1 more ashiok, nightmare weaver, 3 underworld connections, 1 jace, architect of thought (managed to get one) and changed the land base. and changed the sideboard to help out against all types of decks.Marik34, 11 years ago
Some Changes
Ragkna, 11 years ago
I made some changes here, added 3x Polukranos, World Eater and removed 3x Centaur Battlemaster added 3x Elvish Mystic and 3x Sylvan Caryatid and removed 1x Boon Satyr, 1x AEtherling, 2x Wall of Frost and 2x Woodborn Behemoth
also added 2x Triton Tactics and 2x Ranger's Guile and removed 2x Aspect of Hydra and 2x Mortal's Resolve
What do you guys think? How else could I improve this deck? Or maybe I swaped something that I didn't needed to? I'm open to suggestion's :))
Manaki91, 11 years ago
so Hero of Iroas is awkward. I don't really think he speeds the deck up. sure, he makes auras cost less, but he takes the spot of an aggressive two drop. I put Spirit of the Labyrinth back in. The risk does seem small, and if I sorely need the card, ill play Chosen by Heliod before I play the spirit. I also took out Hopeful Eidolon. its a four costing aura that I would rather have Gift of Orzhova for the same effect. I don't really like lifegain so I think both is unnecessary.Sneaky_Chicken, 11 years ago
Thanks to Schmukey's suggestions, I've added in Whip of Erebos, Commune with the Gods, Elvish Mystic, Drown in Filth, and pulled all of my unnecessary creatures. Now I just have to get Drown in Filth, Whip of Erebos, and Commune with the Gods in real life!Ryuu7i, 11 years ago
Added in 3x Leafcrown Dryad and put 3x Hopeful Eidolon in the sideboardearleymw, 11 years ago
Out: Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre | Kozilek, Butcher of Truth | Greater Good | Grand Abolisher | Solemn Simulacrum In: Hull Breach | Auramancer | Chandra, the Firebrand | Courser of Kruphix | Scourge of Skala Vale Ulamog, Solemn, and Kozilek didn't provide devotion colors, and were expensive. Grand Abolisher is OK but I needed something else. Greater Good just too expensive for its value. Courser gives me another Oracle with life gain instead of double land. Both in play is even better. Auramancer gives me enchantment recursion--and with 16 enchantment creatures, 5 enchantment artifacts, and the other enchantments, this seems solid. Hull Breach helps counter. Chandra was a gift from my son, and also provides some nice damage and copy functionality.Jmolinaa, 11 years ago

mtmurdock, 11 years ago
Splash red for Blightning and Lightning bolt. Lots of adjustments in other numbers. Playing more targeted discard spells. No Liliana's Caress.Balthos, 11 years ago
Another Modern Tourney. Went 3-1. Matchups: Midrange UWR with Kiki Angel package - 2-1. Zoo - 2-0 Delver / Young Pyromancer - 0-2 Merfolk - 2-1 The Ajanis were game winning vs Merfolk, but did little else in any other matchup. The Delver player sideboarded in Threads of Disloyalty, which when I side out qasali pridemage I am cold to. Need to consider if there is a reliable way to clear out a mess of 1 toughness guys. Maybe marrow shards?sharkgurren, 11 years ago

Out: Surveyor's Scope In: OpportunityVarious tweeks - Including Burning Tree
mercurial_golem, 11 years ago
Trying Courser of Kruphix + Garruk's Horde variation.
Liking the Burning-Tree Emissary for mana fixing, creature count, devotion, and body (obvious to me now - I'm a slow learner).

Playtesting
ShatteredUterus, 11 years ago
Playtesting on Untap.in quickly became apparent that Mistcutter Hydra and Hexproof abilities wrecked my day. Considered Archetype of Endurance but decided to go with adding Glaring Spotlight in the sideboard instead. Also added Lightning Volley so I can ping Mistcutter with something that is not blue. Control matchup is also really diffcult. I really just have to hope I draw a Mistcutter and can Counterflux a Sphinx's Revelation.Monday Night Tournament #4
sylvannos, 11 years ago
I. Need. To. Stop. Throwing. Games. All three of my losses tonight were because of serious player error. **Round One: Mono-Black Aggro--** 1-2**Round Two: Selesnya Midrange--** 0-2
**Round Three: Naya Midrange--** 2-0
**Round Four: Orzhov Humans--** 1-2
Bitterblossom and Deck Overhaul
Dredg, 11 years ago
Due to Bitterblossom becoming unbanned, I've remade the deck with a more purist approach to The Gate. With it, the deck takes up the mantle of it's predecessor.xelas, 11 years ago
