I agree. Veil of Summer, in the stead of Allosaurus Shepherd, gives green some leverage in the Modern format. I think it's an excellent sideboard option, but not necessarily too overpowered, especially for Modern. For now I would be sad to see it go, as someone who runs a lot of green decks u.u

Generally the kind of decks that want to run expensive high value creatures will have other ways of protecting them (like Allosaurus Shepherd or Veil of Summer) which generally do more work than Savage Summoning. Additionally, a large number of counterspells that get played in cEDH don't hit creatures to begin with, since people are going for low cost spells. And if you have access to counterspells, you have a way of protecting your stuff that doubles as a way of shutting down an opponent.

As for Seedtime, you need to have during your turn and have an opponent play a blue spell (presumably counter your stuff) before you can take an extra turn. I know it's only 2 mana but the fact that you can play it generally means your plan A has been disrupted and so it just untaps your stuff and draws you a card, and if you want to do that then there are much better cards to be running. Basically put, the variance is too high with too low of a floor.

Profet93 nailed it on the head. Shutting my opponents artifacts is more important to me than the 2 artifacts I have being shut down. The Great Henge still gets its passive ability which is more to me anyways, the mana generation is a bonus. And Conqueror's Flail being onboard is actually a deterrent for removing the ouphe because locking opponents out of my turn usually results in a win. On a couple more notes, ouphe being a green creature instead of a colorless planeswalker makes it add to devotion, creature count for Cradle and can't be countered if Allosaurus Shepherd is on the battlefield.

Insist, Spellbreaker Behemoth, Savage Summoning, Prowling Serpopard, Vexing Shusher, and Allosaurus Shepherd are all options to stop your creatures from being countered if that's a threat you're concerned about.

As far as stopping your creatures from being destroyed, Asceticism, Dense Foliage, and Heroic Intervention are good.

Allosaurus Shepherd would be a good fit ^u^

SufferFromEDHD Thanks for the input. Hall of Gemstone, Mana Web and Green Sun's Zenith is added to the maybe board.

Seedtime i like better for protection against control than benefitting from then, in addition if i take another turn i lose all the build up that was done. I have added Allosaurus Shepherd as a aditional way to protect agains counter spells.

Natural Order it is a very good card, but this deck hase little synergy with sacrifice/graveyard, It hase a lot of mana so cheathing the cost is less relevant, and need a lot of build up of lands before this becomes usefull at that time i find other tutors better.

It depends on just how low the print run is. But even Double Masters 1: The Singular Masters saw a lot of its most valuable cards drop in price after its release and stay down for a little while. I'm not expecting Force of Negation to go down to 10 bucks a copy, but I'm expecting some dent.

I'm also expecting to laugh at my friend with the foiled-out Legacy Elves deck who caved and got all his Allosaurus Shepherds a few months ago now needing to save up for the new foil versions. I mean I'll help him look for deals at big paper events still and I'm holding onto any foils I might open for him, but it's still funny in a sad way.

Has anyone seen the previews for this set? WotC has finally done it; they are reprinting Imperial Seal! I can hardly believe that they are doing that, but they are!

Also, they are reprinting Dockside Extortionist, Phyrexian Altar, Phyrexian Tyranny, Vedalken Orrery, Allosaurus Shepherd, and Bloom Tender! So much value in this set, and it is only the first day of previews! Is anyone else as excited for this set as am I?
