Details about last brew

Kadja, 12 years ago

This is the link to the previous brew True Selesnya. I will not be brewing the previous one anymore, and think the above brew is better for the meta. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/true-selesnya/

Avacyn's Pilgrim feature for True Selesnya 2

change #2

emoneylovesyou, 12 years ago

Dropping Rider for O-Ring.

Side Board

WildEskimo, 12 years ago

Pithing Needle Reason for pithing is due to cards like Deathrite Shaman , Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, Izzet Staticaster and Lotleth Troll they really have a way of shutting down my decks creatures and taking board control.

Refit

Jokernaught, 12 years ago

Major Update. Still the same core.

changes

emoneylovesyou, 12 years ago

Put Invisible Stalker in to add to my hexproof creatures. I also dropped Midnight Haunting to make room for Detention Sphere, to raise the enchantment count. Lingering Souls having flashback makes up for it either way. I also added Sphere of Safety to the sideboard.

Tarragon, 12 years ago

Initial thoughts were correct, not enough creatures. Dropped Thundermaw, added Aristocrat. Not sure on her, might put in something else instead. Olivia, Archwing Dragon, Desecration Demon, Hellrider, and Demonlord of Ashmouth all need to be tested. Also put in Thrill-Kill Assassin. It's out of Pillar range, and it kills bears. Might put in something else instead, not sure yet. Put in Liliana even though I don't really want to buy her now. Dropped Mind Rot because Lilliana and Rakdos's handle discard. Also put in Brimstone Volley over Mizzium Mortars. Much better for reach. Oh, and I swapped Diregraf Ghoul for Rakdos Cackler. They're functionally the same, but Cackler is easier to cast.

Removed Black

Edosaurus_Rex, 12 years ago

So I switched the commander from Ghave, Guru of Spores to Rhys the Redeemed. I just wasn't quite getting enough tokens out because I didn't have a reliable way to double them. Also, I was having some mana problems with the 3 colors, and I really don't want to spend a bunch of money getting a bunch of dual lands. So having Rhys as the commander will work a lot better, I feel like. It'll be way easier to double the tokens I have, and with only two colors I don't have to worry about mana as much.

Revamp of Deck

Strangleroot Geist feature for True Selesnya

aloehart199, 12 years ago

deck is actually kind of fun. turn 4 always have 3 keyrunes on the field with no issue. turn 6 usually at least 15 power on board

Curiosity

Ferus_vir, 12 years ago

So it was my hope that I would be able win against any deck type with my Guttersnipe/Lobber Crew setup, but unfortunately I found myself falling behind to mono-blue and mono-black control too easily. I had to move Lobber Crew to the sideboard and cut numbers on some of my burn spells to move some of my counter spells from the sideboard to the main board and add Curiosity which will work well when attached to Guttersnipe.

I was thinking about also making room for either 2x Divination or Ponder... Your Thoughts?

Sideboard!!!

liviamulder, 12 years ago

A prototype of a sideboard...

Bloody-surgeon, 12 years ago

Update: moved Geist of Saint Traft to SB against mirror match ups. Replaced with Snapcaster Mage, always useful to flash back your instant/sorceries.

Wylmryk, 12 years ago

Tweaked the mana a bit and fit in Devil's Play for versatility/wincon/fun with Chandra, the Firebrand. Still waiting to test Curse of the Pierced Heart in the control matchup.

Test #1

introvertigo, 12 years ago

Tested the deck after adding Slagstorm and making some minute changes. The opponent's deck was UW Death & Taxes with focus on resource denial and disruption.

Game 1: At first my opponent dominated the game with Aether Vial and spot removal, protecting his Thalia with cards such as Flickerwisp and Spiketail Hatchling and steadily dropping my life. Then I proceded to cast Slagstorm to sweep away his key creatures and grinded his game down to a halt while I used Archwing Dragon and Angel's Tomb to kill him during following turns. I won narrowly with 3 life.

Game 2: Pretty much the same as above, but the victory came sooner and I had more life. Once again, Slagstorm sweeped the board clean and the recursive combo of Glitterfang + Angel's Tomb delivered the killing blow.

MDN 31 / 30
Archwing Dragon feature for Peekaboo!

A Cat's Chance in Hell?

corvvs, 12 years ago

Running the numbers for (1+ of Rakdos Shred-Freak | Ash Zealots) + 1 Mountain + 1-2 Hellion Crucible) on turn two and going first would happen about 1 in 40 games. Switching the Rakdos Shred-Freaks for Lightning Maulers improves this to about 1 in 60 games. If I dropped a Hellion Crucible it would be over 1 in 100 games.

This is but one scenario, but you have to go by something.

Grotski, 12 years ago

Still not enough ways to sacrifice elementals in order to reuse their come into play abilities with more frequency, creating loops with things like Nevermaker to lock opponents out.

+1 Birthing Pod +1 Blasting Station +1 Carnage Altar

Coming out is the following :

-1 Fist of Suns the majority of cards cost less than 5 mana so this is out -1 All Suns' Dawn most of the useful cards can be brought back with horde so this is out too -1 Fulminator Mage land destruction is not fun in casual.. goodbye mage

rs1996, 12 years ago

Added 1x Serra Avenger, 1x Rhox Faithmender and 1x Mikaeus, the Lunarch Cloudshift, Steel of the Godhead and Cradle of Vitality are the three cards that got replaced.

Awesome Suggestions!

JuggernautFox, 12 years ago

Thank you all for the feedback! I've either made or addressed things I've seen in the comments and editted my deck accordingly (herp derp one card lol). Keep the feedback coming! I do think I will eventually want to compete with an aggro deck like this one, so any insight or suggestions are well appreciated. Keep being awesome!

elefent247, 12 years ago

Early aggro with Silverblade Paladin and Loxodon Smiter.

Restoration Angel and Thragtusk because it's a white green deck, Sigarda, Host of Herons for the same reason.

Splashed black for Unburial Rites and Vault of the Archangel.

Looking for comments, sideboard especially.
